It is Sunday morning, and we examined the calendar. It was blank, bald, bare, devoid, empty, inexpressive, lifeless, lifeless, naked, and vacant of any activities. This was quite an emotional experience for us as we usually plan the day over coffee. OK, we can do this! We drank our coffee and searched for the top of our respective desktops!
I found an old bill on a clay tablet with the letters in cuneiform script. Cuneiform is a logosyllabic writing system that uses wedge-shaped impressions to spell words. It’s not a language but a way of writing distinct from the alphabet.
We cleaned around the house for the rest of the day, and Mary organized my bathroom. She discovered I have the world’s supply of LAVA soap, more toothpaste than Ralph’s Market, and enough combs and brushes to gussy up a herd of buffalo.
We were getting hungry around 11:30 am, so I got out the steaks we had remaining from the shishkabobs we made earlier in the week and marinated them with anything I could find in the frig, including some Italian dressing!
We had three steaks remaining from our shishkabob!
After the steaks had sat in the magic solution for about half an hour, Mary came in, did the asparagus, and assisted with the mushrooms. We decided to have the remaining grapefruit juice with lunch, and I decided a splash of vodka would make for a delicious Greyhound drink!
In six minutes working hand in hand, we were ready for lunch!
Lunch was terrific, but it was time to go back to work. I cleaned off my desk and got all the bills in order, paying them as I went. Mary attacked the three cabinets in the kitchen, and after removing things we never use, she could stash all the booze we got at Christmas time; it looks like a liquor store in there! Excellent, all the liquor is organized, but we don’t drink!
Dru popped over for an hour, enabling us to cease our activities and rest. We recanted last year’s activities, and she remarked that she loved going to Riverside with us to see the Festival OF Lights at the Mission Inn. She also said several times how absolutely fantastic Bob and Robin were during the escapade. Mary and I feel most honored to have Robin and family in our lives, as well as Colleen, Joe, Michele, and Zack and their families.
I took a short nap and at 4:00 pm went to CVS to visit my favorite pharmacist!
We watched TV and around 5:00 pm, I got an email from the hospital, and they discovered why I had a cough. The word is too long to put here, but it is easily treatable. I think it is Pseudomonas Aeruginosa, a bacteria that is treatable with antibiotics. So, in another week, I’ll be back to normal! That’s right, folks—mark your calendars! I’ll be trading in my pajamas for real pants and my Netflix binge sessions for actual human interaction. Prepare yourselves for the return of the “functional adult”—I hear they can be quite a sight!
We crashed around 10:00 pm as I need to wake up at 5:00 am and head to Los Alamitos dor a derm appointment.
