We woke up this morning to dark gray skies and a pretty strong wind. Looked like winter, but it was hot and muggy outside. Inside, of course, it was a perfect 72 degrees. Everyone knows I need to be refrigerated. I nearly fainted yesterday at the car dealer's--no air conditioning and it was HOT.
Luckily, after picking up a few things at Henry's grocery store, we were home by noon. We let the horses out and let ourselves in for the rest of the day. It was our turn to make dinner. On Saturday we had broccoli omelets at Mom's; tonight Dennis cooked a lean meal of kale, asparagus and a smidgeon of ham. It was good. For dessert he made crepes with fruit and pretend ice cream inside. The crepes were from Ikea--they have the best food.
Mom went home around 7 pm and Dennis and I slugged on the sofa for a couple more hours. We have to put drops in 50-50's (the cat) eyes every day. She was on my lap and we decided it was a good time to do it. However, Dennis forgot she was a cat, not a dog, and he grabbed her making a growling noise as he did it. Of course, she grabbed on to me, getting my shirt with one claw and my finger with the other. Yowie! All of a sudden I had a hand full of blood and a throbbing finger. Taking Plavex is a real pain. Every scratch ends up a bloodbath. I ran to the bathroom cupping my hand so it wouldn't look like there was a murder in the living room. What a mess.
The cat ran outside through the cat door and we didn't see her again until this morning. She got her drops this morning...I did it myself with no hysterics.
We have the day to ourselves, doing tasks we didn't do the rest of the weekend. I'm going to the glass shop, Dennis is outside fixing things. Tonight we are having burgers (meat for Dennis, turkey burgers for Mom & me). Dennis will barbeque and we'll probably eat outside if it cools down.
This is how we like to celebrate---low key.
Happy 4th to you however you do it!
