I brought Chewlee home before noon. Good thing because the Princess left for her Cross Fit class around that time. Poor Chewlee fell yesterday and scraped both knees. I put bandages on it that had Neosporin on them to help it heal up without any infection. This was AFTER she showered. She complained about them hurting every time she bent her legs and she was worried that she wouldn't be allowed to go to HER Cross Fit class at 3:30pm. I didn't call to find out if she went or not and I should have.
While I was there, she played both the pieces that she is going to play for her recital at the end of August. She did a really good job. I was happy to see that she is really doing well with her piano lessons. She had three different books that have a lot of different kinds of music that she like to practice playing. She told me she needed a black dress for her recital. I asked her if it was supposed to be a long one or a short one and she told me it didn't matter as long as it was black. I kind of laughed at how casually she had said it and I asked her if she wanted me to make her one. She was actually surprised and said, *YOU make dresses? You mean you are a dress designer?*
That
really made me laugh and I told her that I could sew almost anything
and had even made Aunt Bratfink's wedding gown for her second marriage.
It turned out great and was just what she wanted. But Chewlee never
did tell me if she wanted me to make her a dress or buy her one. Oh
well.
The
Princess tricked me today when she asked me if I wanted a piece of her
chicken (she had obviously baked it and it was on a baking sheet on top
of her stove). I took what I thought was aa wing and tried it. The
breading on it was tasty and coarser that most breadings. It was also
kind of reddish in coloring. But the meat was tasty if a little
*chewy*. She laughed when I told her it was tasty and told me then that
it was rabbit. She said Johnnycakes had marinated it overnight and
then she breaded it and baked it. I was totally surprised that I liked
it since I didn't the first time I tried some that the Beast's father
had fried up.
The
Princess made up quite a few pickles that she had canned. I could
smell them when Chewlee and I walked into the house. They looked really
good but the Princess never offered me any. *Sob* *Sob*
Johnnycakes
came into the house with a chicken he had killed, gutted and
plucked...almost. He still had to remove the neck and get some of the
smalled feathers pulled out. It looked like a professional job when he
got done. I was impressed but I doubt the Beast will ever be able to do
it. I told Johnnycakes that I should hire him to show the Beast how
it's done and the Princess said that the Beast could always come over
when Johnnycakes killed one of theirs and learn how to do it. I really
should mention that to the Beast and see how he reacts to that
suggestion.
Tomorrow
is the stress test for my heart and I have gotten TWO phone calls about
it today. One from the hospital and one from my gastro doctor's
office, which surprised the hell out of me. But I guess he and the
cardiologist consulted each other since they both are very interested in
my cholesterol levels. I can't eat after midnight but since I have to
get up at 6am, I'll be going to bed early tonight. The poor Beast was
so exhausted, he went to bed right after he put the chickens to bed and
that was at 7pm.
Okay...enough
for today. I need to get ready for bed and get some sleep. I didn't
sleep well last night and I want to be well rested before I take that
stress test. The hospital person said the test will take about 2-1/2
hours and then I have to go down to the lab to have blood drawn for the
cholesterol test. So figure I'll be there until 10am or so. I hope I'm
only there that long, anyway.
Love you all. Treat everyone with respect. Be known for your kindness. ***Hugs***
