When It Rains, It Pours


Well, I had an interesting day today.

It started in the usual way...I was up around 5:45 or so and chatting online with one of my best friends. Then, Dana got up and needed some help because we were taking delivery of our new Tempur-Pedic mattress today.

As I was getting ready to make some breakfast, I did a really STUPID thing and accidentally made a rather deep cut on my left index finger. I knew I would need stitches, so I got in the car and headed to Bismarck.

On the way to Steele, the tire low pressure indicator came on, so I called Dana. "Oh, that just means that the tire pressure's a little low and you won't have the optimum gas mileage. I'll check it when you get home."

By the time that I got to Bismarck, a nice older man honked at a stop light and when I rolled the window down, he said, "One of your tires is really low!"

I stopped at the nearest gas station, called Dana, and he said, "Well, you'll just have to get the tire fixed."

Bummer!

So, I put air in the tire and drove to Tire's Plus. (Thankfully, the tire wasn't completely flat and it was still holding air.)

Got the tire fixed, then headed to the Emergency Room where they put in 15 stitches.

Now, I'm 43 years old, and I've never had stitches...until today.

Needless to say, chores were interesting this evening. Liv and I worked together and got them done, though. She's such a trouper!

Tomorrow, early, we're going to leave for Thedford Nebraska to meet my mom and the kids. Can't wait to see them and hold them again!

Hope you all had a great day!

P.S. I'd show you a picture, but I know that some of you are squeamish. It's kinda gross!
