I use to have a travel mug back when I was a student doing summer stock theater jobs.
The mug had a little man standing in a vise with the caption, "Oy! The pressure."
I wish I could find a photo of it online to share with you all.
That mug was sooo apropos during that time of my life.
And I sure wish I had that mug for THIS part of my life too!
Firstly, I am slowly feeling better. Besides leaving me with very colorful bruises, that accident knocked alot more out of me than I had thought previously.....or it could just be that I didn't take the time to slow down long enough to recover fully. Yah, it's probably the latter.
Here are some awesome photos of parts of me I took late last week......if you are squeamish, scroll past them.
First my shoulder....how many colors can you see?lol
Then my leg.....
The bruise started on the left side and capillaries under the skin burst and spread that lovely rosy hue all the way across my leg.
And lets not leave out my knee, the left one.....
I didn't even see it for a week since it was on the side. I wondered why my knee hurt....duh!lol
Everything is fading away as of this morning and I should not look like a domestic violence victim much longer. 8-)
Here is a photo from the French Honor Society ceremony. The lighting is atrocious in our auditorium on the stage area but passable on the apron(or front of the stage area).
Daughter is the VP of the French Club so she and her buddy who is the Prez of the FC had to read stuff en francais during the ceremony.
Daughter is the dark blurry one on the right in the photo....
Here is the whole group of inductees on the stage apron.......
Daughter is 2nd from right end in the front.
#2 son who was inducted into the Society for the first time is on the far left in the white shirt.
Félicitations!
Tomorrow is the National Honor Society ceremony so I'll hobble back to the school to see Daughter go through that ceremony for the third time.
On Friday I got to drive across PA to take #1 son to the camp where he works for the summer.
His girlfriend met us part way so I didn't have to drive the full 5+ hours there and back again.
I also got to finally meet her. We had a nice lunch and then I got back on the road for the trip home.
I did snap this shot of them both before I took off....
Saturday and Sunday were spent cleaning out. It was beastly hot here(even hotter today!)so Hubs put the A/C units in. Since the weather and my body(the day after the accident)didn't cooperate last week, the garage sale didn't happen. I had #1 son put all the spare toiletries put in the living room to sort and price for the garage sale. Since the sale didn't happen yet, we moved all the toiletry boxes into the now cleaned out garage because family will be showing up beginning this Sunday for the Graduation festivities and we need the living room cleared out for sleeping accommodations. So we moved all those boxes into the garage....
And I've begun organizing and putting things up on the shelves already. I counted 20 boxes of spare toiletries......good gosh!
Still no idea when this garage sale will happen but it HAS TO so I can reclaim my garage!!lol
We cleared out a flower bed on Sunday....
Here's Daughter hacking off branches on a tree we were removing. There were 3 trees that took root in there the past few years and started growing. Those 2 rhododendron bushes were half the size when we moved here. Not only have they taken over the flower bed, there is a little fir tree to the left and back of the bush on the left that has been overtaken. We took down the 3 trees, trimmed back the rhodo. on the left and took out the rhodo. bush on the right.
We still have more work to do in there(like digging out the stumps and moving the little fir tree to a different spot)but that will wait until school lets out and #2 son can do the grunt work.
Monday we did what most red-blooded Americans do on national holidays.....we went shopping. ;-)
Daughter needed some more new clothes and Hubs needed to replace some dress pants for work so we hit a few sales. Then we got Chinese for lunch and headed home. It was a good day to be in a/c'ed stores since it hit a muggy 87 yesterday.
So that pretty much catches you up on the Life 'o Sluggy.
What was your weekend like? Any exciting goings on?
