Disclaimer: I am not a juggler.
Didn't matter. I woke up way too early with both hands freezing and cramping and in pain. Hey, universe: no fair. While I was sleeping, one of my library holds had appeared in loans. I was particularly interested so gobbled it up avidly. As a result, I was still in my nightie when church-John showed up, carrying my bag of miniature chocolates. Eek! Who? What? It's 1 p.m.? I never got the text!
He agreed to wait in the car while I hurriedly turned semi-human. Ooh, trying to pull clothes on right after a quickie shower was fun. Not. But I was out the door, stumbling down the steps with a shrieking knee. He was worried about how fragile I appeared to be. I blamed my knee, naturally.
The only good thing about the delay is that we had no problem getting a comfy booth at the famous fish'n'chips place. I also splurged by ordering a half litre of rose, while c-J had an Amsterdam blond (ale?). I'd never tried fish'n'chips before, always preferring shrimp, scallops, clam strips - you get the idea. But I didn't want heavy chips, so I had one piece of halibut with a ton on coleslaw. The fish was amazing, so sweet, the batter so delicate. I had half my coleslaw put into a container so I could order their incredible key lime pie. I recounted some of my culinary and travel escapades during lunch, mentioning the trip I'm hoping to take next year.
Pain? What pain? First to be relieved was my poor right knee that gives me grief after too much sitting. Then my lower spine became more limber. Ah - the power of liquid analgesic. I was feeling no pain and really entertaining c-J, especially as I moaned in bliss, eyes closed, as I consumed my dessert. I was in such a good head space, I treated c-J. I like surprising him that way occasionally.
While we'd been gone, I'd asked Dr. S. to take another look at my TV. She'd performed a reset and I had my TV back. What. A. Relief. But, instead, my computer was being all "wonkey donkey" as Peppa Pig might say. I had browsers flicking in and out of existence. Also, though my pain was gone, so was my sight. Sigh. So I went to bed, watched some TV, and dozed for a wee bit. Now, my spine is screaming. Some things never change.
Anyway, I'm going to try to read for a bit, then seek the serenity of my bed. ::crosses fingers::
