mom, i made a mess.
hi,
the home function system within this soft shell is burning up hot, then cold, then hot, then twirly.
it took me twice as long to do some tasks in the kitchen. some fruit was questionable so i pulled out a bag to pour it into......
at least i thought i was aiming for the bag........fruit went sliding and spinning down the cupboard and all over the floor. messy sweet fruity hockey pucks.......Annie was in it to win it. Rio sat and watched.........I stared. The frig door was open, the water was running, the beef and onions were sauteing......pasta was boiling.........so I sat down for a minute.
life is better thanks to a rolling chair in the kitchen. rio found a fruit puck......he's batting it towards the cupboard baseboard. it hits to score in the final moments of the game...... and the crowd goes WILD!!!!!!!!!!
me? i rolled over and shut the frig, turned off the water........grabbed the dust pan as a fruit scoop.......shooed kitties. turned down the burners...............rolled over and stuck my head near the freezer. thank you Lord of all for creating ice packs! this is love. i was burning up hot.........
but now i'm shivering.
when i opened the frig to grab the milk for the pasta sauce i did the quick sniff. ugh, uh oh, bye bye. so i dumped half of a half gallon down the drain. a sink full of lids, pans, bowls and utensils. ever wanna just run away from home? like right then.......? not tidy up, not mop the spill, not toss things or wash things or clean off the stovetop...........i turned down the wrong burner ........so the pasta w/the alfredo sauce went over the edge.......bubble bubble toil & trouble. i tossed leftover chicken in it and called it good. put some spices in with the beef to make a home version of mexican appetisers.
(i was trying to use up a half a pound of ground beef.......and some shredded leftover chicken.....that's how this whole thing started.)
it was one of the most disorganized discombobulated kitchen hours in recent personal history.
lesson learned, when you're taking blue pills less is more. nuke soup, eat a pear, call it good. currently i am dizzy, doofy and dumb. the 3 d's..........mom, i made a big mess.
in a minute i'll pull the paper towels up and mop. blessings:
i have a floor to mop.
i have a kitchen to cook in.
i have a mop.
i have ice to cool me down and the greatest sweater in the world to warm me back up.
i have hands to do things in care of each day.
if i can get to the far north..... my kitties could try out for the world's first feline hockey league.
at some point i'll look back on this and laugh.....right??? not yet, but maybe in a minute.

Well, you are making us laugh, and that must count for something?!?
I can\'t be trusted in the kitchen at all so it comes prepared or it doesn\'t come at all, is my motto.
Did I just hear, \"Clean up on Aisle 4\" - too funny not to laugh but feel for you.
I set a bottle of water on the corner of my desk last night. Only problem I left more of it hanging over the edge than was on the desk & it decided to sky dive. Hit the chair next to my desk & flipped it over so it dumped water all over me & then when it hit the floor, the rest of it came out all over the floor. It was even time to mop the floor but it did get done. Water is so much easier to clean up than most liquids.
Such is life in the world of chronic illness.
ah my dear...I\'ve had days like that. Thank goodness for cat antics. Gotta love them. Be easy on yourself. It will get better.

I like your blessing list. Sometimes we just have to laugh at the messes we make, truly. I don\'t know about you but I am SO clumsy these days. Might be my RA, plus hormones. Frustrating, right? Every single morning I spill coffee when I pour it. I swear my new coffee pot has a dribble spout or something.
Hope it wasn\'t too hard to clean up!
Leave it for tomorrow. That\'s my motto.
