~ This and That Sunday ~

                      

What a lazy day!  I don't think I mentioned this the other night, but when we had snow and my son came over to shovel, I had moved my car to allow the plow more room to maneuver.  Since I was the only car in the drive it helped to have it out of the way so he could get the entire thing clear.  After I got my car back in it's spot I was walking back down the drive and I took a spill.  Graceful it was not.  I landed hard on my right knee and my left leg was twisted and behind me.  Being a cheerleader years ago did not help one bit.  I was twisted and sore.  Once I got up I felt some what ok.  On Saturday I slid again in the parking lot of the store.  I didn't fall but I definitely pulled my groin as I not so gracefully kept from falling.  So here I sit feeling like an athlete.  Or not.  No way in hell I was attempting anything today.  I was just taking it easy. 

 

The snow over night was not that bad, maybe 4 inches.  The plow came and cleared the driveway, but it mattered not.  I was staying put.  It rained a bit, and then snow started to fall again.  It fell all day.  If you happened to see the game in Cleveland you saw what I was getting.  The wind picked up and the light flakes blew all over.  I suppose another 8-10 inches.  The plow just came again, and my nephew Mike was here.  He went and moved vehicles, cleared my car off and it looks like I will be good to go in the morning.  I was a bit worried about having to clear off the car and around it after the plow, but I only have what falls this evening to worry about.  YEAH!  I'll be buying that boy a bottle of booze!  The hot cocoa and doughnut when he came in just isn't pay enough. 

 

The news it out.  The Bills lost today.  I had to turn the channel a few times.  Not because of poor play but straining to watch.  The snow falling, the white jerseys, and the wind blowing gave me a headache.  Ok, so the bad play too.  One more year with out the play offs.  ::sigh:: Getting use to it. 

 

I'm going to do a little rant here.  Hack, Chris Simon, of the NY Islanders is at again.  Saturday night while the Isles played the 'Guins, Simon pulled his cheap bullshit.  After a subtle knock down, he stomped on the opposing players ankle as he lay on the ice. 

 

            

 

Hockey skate blades are sharp.  He could have cut the guys ankle causing major damage.  A cowardly act.  He should be banned for life.  This asshole doesn't play the game, he tries to hurt and maim players.  No respect for himself or fellow players.  Sad thing, is the league will probably only suspend him a couple games.  How soon they will forget his previous acts.  Last year he took his stick and decked an opposing player......  across the face...  there are others too, but I'm sure you'll get the idea.  GRRRRRR  Chris Simon you are mocking my sport.  You don't deserve the right to be called an NHL player.  Take a seat!

 

        

 

 

Hope everyone had a great weekend.  I am feeling a bit better now, but not the best.  Sore, and not even close to being in the holiday spirit.  Not one Christmas card was mailed.  I feel horrible, but I am hoping folks will understand.  Just not with it or as organized as I usually am.  I'm lucky I got the gifts needed for the family.  I'm hoping the mood will switch and quickly.

 

Hugs
