Pink Flamingo on Toast

Today was a good day! Those have been few and far between. Jerry and I did all our errands in the morning. We took his car so we could enjoy the sunroof on this cool day. Temps were mild and the sun was shining. Jerry even stuck his head through the roof at one point. Fun... A couple of weeks ago, maybe it was last week, Jerry and I got roped into watching a Nuwave Pro Oven infomercial. We decided that we could be eating a lot more turkey if only we could cook it in a couple of hours and not all day. So we ordered one, it came sometime during the week. Today was the day we broke it in. We cooked a 6.5 lb-ish turkey breast in two and half hours. We thought it would take longer as per the cooking guide but thankfully I kept on eye on it. It turned out great! The skin was golden brown and the meat was nice and juicy. I'm looking forward to the roast to be "Nuwaved" later in the week. Tomorrow is another Jaguar game. The weather should be perfect and I'm ...

So what is normal? Jerry and I are beginning to think that dealing with doctors and nursing homes is becoming part of our normal. Hopefully we can move forward with getting his mom into an Assisted Living place. Still sad that I've never seen her with her leg actually on. It's always tucked in a corner Dad is getting back to normal. Mom said he has been going downstairs with no problem. That's great. The good TV is down there that has captioning so he can actually enjoy the shows. Also the computer is down there so he can start tinkering with that too. Tabitha, our cat, is finally falling back into her routine too. Around 9:30 every night she is clamoring for her treats. Oh yea...My car's "check engine soon" light is on..that's normal for my little lemon of a car.

Jerry and I had these "colds" in our back. Or so I thought...maybe we both did strain something at the same time. I am 98% better because I haven't been lifting anything for days. Jerry on the other hand is still in terrible pain. That is because he had to lift things for 3 days straight at his conference. I didn't even think about him taking the hanging bag vs. the rolling overnight bag. I should have thought about it..oh well. I gave him a darvocet and he is conked out on the futon with a heat wrap around his shoulder. He should be out for hours. I'm just glad he is home. I didn't sleep well while he was gone, and every little sound in the house seemed a thousand times louder. Work is going good. Starting July 1st I'm going back to part time hours so that I can take some interpreting gigs. I'm very excited about that. Now if I my QA results would just hurry up and get here I'd be much happier. Still waiting on news on the internship. Don...

They have chomped through a fan belt in my car leaving me stranded. That's what you get for paying off your car loan **UPDATE** It was the fan belt and our local mechanic fixed it and it's back home where it should be. Now Jerry and I don't have to run around tomorrow getting me to school. We have our bag of "Bats & Rats Gummy" candies to give out tonight. MuW aHaHA haha haha
