If you know me, and I think you do, you know I’m not afraid to go out and explore the woods, the hills, the streams.
In addition , you probably know that once in a while I absolutely am un-mistressy, un-empressy, and sometimes not a bit graceful .
I have good news and ridiculous news. The good news is I’m able to purchase the empty lot next to my property. It’s moderately overgrown, but would be a perfect place for a gazebo, a hammock, a firepit, and a container garden of flowers the deer won’t eat. Or I can put a larger pool up there. Possibilities!!
The ridiculous news is that it’s a relatively steep bank between here and there. ( you can see where this is going already, can’t you?) I was coming back down just fine, until a tree root snagged my foot and I….fell (…felt like I catapulted, really). I didn’t break anything, not even a nail. My dignity was bruised. Unfortunately, my knee was also twisted. The swelling is going down. Technically I could lay in bed and take calls. EXCEPT…lol The pain medication takes me from very sleepy to very silly. This is where I draw the line on taking calls. A giggle fit is far more undignified than sliding down a bank, in my opinion. I’m cutting it back, today has only been half doses. I’m getting restless laying here with ice on my knee.
If you have been trying to redeem the free minutes that you earned from me during July, shoot me an email and I’ll make sure we make it happen.
If you’d like to contribute to building STAIRS between up and down the bank, I believe I could get prefab stairs to have set in the bank, and if I recall there are Lowe’s gift cards on my wishlist…lol
I should be back Sunday, even if I’m not at my desk I suspect I’ll be more alert and less giggly! Until then, behave!!
