where did i put my yaktrax? and the calendar?

haste makes waste.

trying to hurriedly run the recyclables out this morning with dorie at my heels as part of a middling busy day, getting the jump on the garbagemen being my first priority.

preoccupied with the impending delivery of a new washer and dryer and and spending an afternoon with dummies at cpr refresher class.

in a wink of god's eye i was down on the patio, looking up at the sky, while dorie stood, torn between the urge to chase the recyclables that were skidding all over and the possibility that she might be needed to lick my face in a westie effort at resuscitation.

the recyclables won and it was up to me to get up and assess myself for noggin injuries and a broken hip. luckily the back took the brunt of the fall and spared me a brain injury.

needless to say the garbage never made it out to the curb today. but that's ok since garbage day is tomorrow.

so the only dummy i'll spend this afternoon with is myself, on the couch, with medication, my kindle, and dorie lying on my tummy looking at me with raised eyebrows since she knows full well that garbage day is thursday...
