Back to normal

We took SIL home this morning! :D Not that I don't enjoy her company but I just like to have the 4 of us around the house.

So any of you that read Summer's Blog know that she has a moderate sprain in her right ankle on Thu. morning. So I had to take her to the docs after work. That was fun. She's telling me about how much it hurts and that she can't stand on it. Then when they call her in they ask her if she wants a wheelchair. She said no way. Are you crazy? Then when she is in the exam room they ask her what the pain is like on a scale of 1-10. She says a 4. WHAT!? She told me that it hurts so bad she can't stand or walk. Then when asked she says a 4. Finally after her x-ray she decides that she needs a wheelchair. And I got to push her. :D It was SO hard not to race down the halls. They ended up giving her an air cast and crutches. When we left the hospital I had to wear her purse out to the truck because she couldn't carry it. Yes I am secure in my manhood enough to wear a purse in public.
As soon as our youngest son saw her in crutches he started crying. It was so cute. (Does that make me a bad father? Thinking that him crying was cute and funny?)

If only I can get her to stay off her feet. She won't rest. She's even getting mad at me for telling her to sit down. And it sure as hell aint pretty when I tell her to use her crutches.

Yesterday was a great day. I finally got our front door installed. I say finally because we bought it the day after Christmas with our Christmas gift certificates. The weather has finally gotten clear enough and long enough to put it on. That was an all day ordeal. My dad came over about 9 and we didn't finish until about 6. I don't ever want to do that again. Well that is until we get the time to finish the job. We still need to put the molding around the outside of the door and put on the security door. At least we now have a working front door. The best part of it seeing how happy the new door makes Summer every time she walks past it. She just smiles so happily and thanks me for putting it on tells me how good the door looks.

After the door installation ordeal I decided that it was time that I had something to drink in earnest. So SIL celebrated her bday with a few (lost count) drinks. It was the first good "buzz" that I have had in quite a few months. I slept so good last night.

Today we took SIL home and went to visit my cousin and his family. It was a dam pleasing day.
I know. I've really got nothing today. I seem to be getting nothing to post about lately. I've got a few ideas but the time has just been non existent lately. The entire time that Summer's sister was here we never went to bed before midnight. So we have been exhausted the past few weeks. Sleep just sounds so good right now.
With that I bid you good night.
