Saturday Morning/Afternoon

Another graphic I had done awhile back and thought it fit this morning.  Not the saying really, but more the 'look'.  At the moment it is not raining, but it has been for the past few days.  They are calling for 'lake effect' rain the entire weekend.  Grrr  well at least it isn't lake effect snow!  For those of you not familiar with the term, it basically is the effect of cold air passing over the warmer water.  Where the moisture lands is anyone's guess, depending on winds etc.  Usually lake effect is hard and furious. 

 

It is pretty chilly here this morning.  My hands are like ice and I will not turn on the heat, it's still September and I refuse!  I will add sweatshirts, socks, blankets, but no heat, not yet!  Looking out my back window it looks pretty gloomy.  Dark skies with gray clouds scattered about.  The mixture of colors in the trees, which aren't bright today as there is no sun.  Some trees already exposing their bare branches.  Leaves that have already fallen are scattered amongst the deep green grass, each dancing to it's own tune as the wind blows.  The sound of ducks and geese as they make their way south.  Why am I thinking of turkey?  LOL

 

I got some interesting news while at work yesterday.  I was talking to my Mom when she informed me my brother had a broken jaw.  I rolled my eyes and cussed under my breath, for I knew we'd never really get the true story about what happened.  His version is he tried to break up a fight and someone came up from behind him and sucker punched him.  Either way the truth of the matter is his mouth is wired shut and will be for 4-6 weeks.  I am not talking little wires holding things together, I am talking lots of silver in his mouth.  His teeth are bonded together with what looks like silver caps.  Who is the guy from James Bond? Jaws? 

 

                         

 

Yeah, a little like that, but he can't open it at all.  Not even a bit.  He can barely talk, and anything that goes in his mouth has to go down.  No solid foods, no brushing teeth.  Natta!  The break is actually below the hinge and may have done nerve damage too.  He won't know for sure until he starts to heal, but as it stands now the left side of his chin and jaw line has pins and needles as though Novocain is wearing off.  Mom was a bit upset and was telling me he had nothing to eat and only milkshakes to drink since Thursday.  So I promised her I would stop at the drug store on the way home and pick up some Ensure, Boost, Gator Aide, something to get nutrients in him.  If anyone out there can think of anything else for him to drink that would/could help, let me know.  I don't always get along with my brother, which could be a gazillion entries in itself, but I do feel bad.  He generally has only bad luck, usually brought on by himself, but this truly sucks.  He just started a new job and now has to take time off, can you say 'goodbye'?  With any luck the wires and metal will be taken off by Thanksgiving.  So if you could find it in your heart to say a little prayer for him I'd appreciate it. 

 

Have a few things to do around the house, and laundry will probably take me all day.  LOL  My room has been taken over by the dirty clothes.  Some how I have more of son's clothes in there then I did when he lived here.  How is that?  ROFL!!  For those of you curious, no call yet.  LOL  nor have I made a decision.  :)~
