Twisting by the Pool
Also - who the heck is Carter?
It's hard to come up with something spectacular everyday because if it would happen everyday it would not be spectacular. It would just be every day stuff.
So. Today in all it's mundane glory:
- I go for my annual physical and get my flu shot and annual physical. I'm all good and the Doc says "See you next year". Yup, you bet. These are the Dr. appointments we like.
- I figure as how I'm out getting all healthy-like I might as well get the 24-25 covid booster shot too. I did that - and for all you anti-vaxxers out there, I did not grow a tail after getting the shot. 🙄
- BW is at work and the house is empty. By this time it's 11am so I go home for a cup of coffee and oh, what the heck - I will have a nap for an hour. Who will know?
- BW comes home and busts me on the couch. She said something about me being a good for nothing husband but I just ignored her and left for my afternoon shift uber-ing. As I left, I saw her going for the couch. This is why we're married - somebody has to keep the couch warm at all times.😴
- I had one kid in my car this afternoon that smelled - or reeked would be a better word - of pot. It was horrible. I know it's legal here in NYS but it's still stinky. He was going to work at the new Taco Bell here on the island. This is big front page news here.
- BW texts me that I need to pick up ice cream and brownies. She made a sleepy promise this morning to get her on the bus and now we pay for it. At least I know what's for dessert tonight.
- When I get home is when the fun starts. I come in the door and there's no child. She is up the street at her new friend carter's. She comes home from playing the other day and she says she has a new friend carter. "Who the hell is carter?" we ask. She tells us and we realize what house they are talking about and what kids they are so we're good.
- Today she is over there when I get home so I walk over to collect her and introduce myself and collect my child. It turns out the Moms have since been texting and talking so everybody knows who everybody is and we're all good at Carter's house. Carter's house was the house of the day. The other day it was ours. She was also given a juice and a cupcake. She had a good day today.
- I find my child in Carter's pool. Fully clothed. I take home a wet child and get her dried off before dinner. It's a nice pool. We should get one. Here's a link to more info. I think her shoes will be dry next Wednesday.
- BW says "I'm out of here - going to go grocery shopping - you're in charge". Great.
- I go downstairs to get something from my unfinished(but at least) dry basement when the child finds a thing and asks what it is. It's a cord concealer for my computer cords but I absentmindedly said it would make a good guitar.
- The next thing you know we have 3 chopsticks, 3 bowls and my guitar and we're practicing our show for when mommy gets back from shopping.
- Mommy is back. The band "Let's Rock" plays all the hits - all 2 of them. Then we brush our teeth and go to bed. N0 trashing hotels for us.
- I slink down to my man cave and write this beauty. Then I go to bed. It's been a day. Also, my arm hurts from my flu shot.
- Until Next time, TH and Co.
