morning musings
Welp! Yesterday was Friday the 14th with a touch of Friday the 13th in it. Let me explain. The coffee shop I wanted to go to was not open when I arrived at 7:00 am so I went down the street to one that was open. When I arrived at the second coffee shop I noticed I’d forgotten my Fitbit/watch. No problem. When I got home I noticed I’d left my phone at the coffee shop. No problem. Later in the afternoon I stopped to look at one of the new e-bikes, that’s in my price range. Bending down to look at the belt drive I bumped my head on their rack. Hurt like hell! I cursed profusely! Began bleeding so I went to the ER to have it looked at and because I’m new to this blood thinner stuff. Now we have a problem. I had to have staples put in my noggin and a tetanus shot. Will have the staples removed in 5 days. I then stopped and got a DQ blizzard on the way home for any pain I may have. Seemed like a good idea at the time. I then stayed on my porch the rest of the day and kept all sharp objects at a distance. I took a shower this morning, gently washed my hair and then gently combed my hair. Will need to watch that for the next few days. Put on a crockpot of vegetable soup and will enjoy that later today. Hope you enjoy your day!

Ouch, I don’t know which makes me cringe the most, having staples put in or taken out. What a day, Monte! Take care, my friend.
Monte Stevens
Probably both. I’ll find out on Wednesday. 😂

Ouch! Yowsa! That was not a good day. Staying on the porch sounds like a good plan.
Monte Stevens
Then yesterday I scratched it without thinking. Probably not do that again. Enjoy your Sunday!

Some days are like that….every one and every thing is out to get you. Best on those days to go home, get a good book and snuggle in for the day. Stay safe, my friend.
Monte Stevens
Good morning! Not of the mindset that everyone and everything is out to get me. As a friend says life gets lifey. How I live this life in a loving, compassionate way is my task. Hope you two are doing well and have a wonderful day, my friend!

Ouch. Well, at least you only have one post under the tag “tetanus shot.” 😉 Hope the mending goes well. I am on blood thinners also and my wife is constantly telling me to be careful.
Monte Stevens
I hope that’s the only one under that tag. 😂 One side affect of the blood thinners is sometimes leaving a red rash when I scratch myself, not braking the skin. When my legs itch in the morning due to allergies I can make them look I’ve tangle with a wild cat. And, your wife is right, we do have to be careful.
