I cut my left thumb uncorking a bottle of wine last night. Because my husband was yelling at me. I simply can't be yelled at and operate a complex piece of machinery like a corkscrew at the same time.
It's still bleeding and to add to the confusion, my dog Earl cracked a toenail while birdwatching this morning and now I can't tell whose blood I keep finding on the floor--mine or Earl's.
And I need a tetanus shot.
Good enough excuse to drink the rest of the bottle of wine.
Why is it so difficult for the cashier to take off the save $2.00 now sticker off of the item she scanned? Does she think that I can now not only put all of my groceries on the belt, run my own credit card, load my own groceries into my cart, take my own groceries to my car, bring the cart back AND now REMEMBER the coupons??? What's next? When do I start stocking shelves?

I am glad for Sunday - the unwind day.
A canner exceedingly canny
One morning remarked to his granny
A canner can can anything that he can
But, a canner can't can a can, can he?
Makes sense, right?
From the tombstone of Effie Mae Robinson, aged 23:
Come blooming youths as you pass by
And on these lines do cast an eye.
As you are now, so once was I.
As I am now, so must you be.
Prepare for death and follow me.
Someone added to this:
To follow you, I am not content.
How do I know which way you went?
If you don't grow where you're planted, you'll never BLOOM - Will Rogers
Here's one. This is old. I have no idea who wrote it.

I wish I was a little egg, a way up in a tree.
I wish I was a little egg, as rotten as I could be.
And when someone I didn't like would walk beneath my tree,
I'd take my little rotten self and throw myself at he!
