wednesday chat.

Hello,
What is going on in your neck of the woods?
I got one of those jumpy energy pockets last night......got up, brought the air pump and the little blow up pool inside......... blew the pool up right there, in the middle of the living room!  The cats went wild.......the pool filled w/air really fast --- heaven only knows what they thought it was.......the little air pump motor makes a screeechy sound!  i would probably talk more about the terrible noise it makes, but got thoroughly distracted by the kitties going wild!
They jumped, ran for cover, raced around the house a few times, seemed to be on a mission to surround it, but keep their distance..........slowly advance at the terrible noise monster.  I drug the pool outside, it just fit through the door.......propped it against the house...........both kitties came to me immediately to register complaints and get reassurance that the monster was GONE!
Poor kitties........the pool is as cute as can be. so are the kitties!
i think i found a solution for a problem, the step used to aid as a safe exit tool from the shower has a self adhesive blue cover.  it was not designed for use near water, which took me awhile to really get.  color me slow........went online and found companies that make self adhesive safety mats for tubs.  i can get one - cut it to fit the step........and use the remaining half under my feet in the actual tub.  finessing safety issues  makes me feel like i'm reducing the odds of falling. 
there is a man next door mowing and let me tell ya he is flying......i have never seen a riding mower move that fast.......i think he's got nitrous in the fuel tank.........he could take it to the race track!  made me laugh..........did i tell ya i woke up with hiccups, that was weird. 
my back is feeling better today...........YAYYYYYYYYY!  wish i could dance to celebrate, but instead i'll just wiggle and waggle my fingers in the air!!!!! maybe it looks silly, but it makes me smile......come on, join me if you're up to it.........and if you're not know that i gotta backpack full of soft hugs just for you.....
hungry, trying to work up the gumption to cook.  scrambled eggs & fresh apricots sound mighty tempting.......grilled cheese & a sliced pear sounds nummy........still so tired.  maybe in another hour i can get after it and make a meal magically appear. 
i'm making practice stitches as i learn the most basic crochet stitch, they are not very even just yet, but the video instructor has a very soothing voice, tells me that is to be expected, shrug it off and just have fun practicing.  like any new skill it takes time........time i have! it's gonna take a while for me to make it through crocheting for uber dummies, it's pleasant to learn something new.  this is one of those things that i hope will teach me about patience.  and maybe someday i'll be able to make useful pretty things.  .......here's to someday!!!!!!!
..........pray that you have a pleasant Wednesday........that you can rest, find a bit of peace.......feel relaxation seep into your muscles, bones and joints.........hugs, sparrow
