I've always said that "normal" is an urban legend and my first day back to "normal" proves it. I walked in the morning with my walking partner, we walked, we laughed and we cried, a few times we had to stop because we couldn't breath, it was wonderful and ridiculous.
Shower and on to errands except when I started out I had a flat tire, O.K "the universe has spoken", it's a good day to sew. Two stitches and the machine ate the fabric, turned itself off for safety and after cleaning, new needle, new bobbin and rethreading it comes back on with an E1 error which means take it to someone qualified. Two hours each way, eight hours total since I have to drop it off and I'm not doing that, I ordered the fuses, which I'm pretty sure is the problem and I'll figure it out myself, the worst that can happen is I need a new machine :). Which led to internet research for a new machine which somehow led to me ordering a new mattress which is being made for me. LOL. David's answer to all this is "whatever you need", what a sweety or enabler.
Yesterday though the universe was very kind. This is Wolfy
he was due to be put down at 3:30 and the rescue stepped in at 3:28, they had found a foster for him. This is Wolfy's freedom ride picture, I had nothing to do with this rescue except jump into the car and cuddle this amazing dog. Cori, my daughter, had been asked to transport him to the Keys, she lives in the land of sewing machine repairs two hours away, so she brought him down and I got to spend the day with her. Wolfy and I both had a wonderful day.
Later Gators,
Dana
Wolfy looks like a sweet dog. Glad he has a new lease on life. Hope the machine gets fixed.
ReplyDeleteYep...sounds like a win-win for you both. Your normal always includes rescues.
ReplyDeleteI think Wolfy was an angel for you too Dana and you needed the cuddles just as much as he did. Sometimes angels are black and furry. I hope he finds a great forever home.
ReplyDeleteWhat a curious string of events spun out in your days. I hope you can get your sewing machine up and running just fine.
What a roller coaster you've been on! So happy that Wolfy was saved and that he could be a bright spot for you.
ReplyDeleteWolfy is adorable! Your 'normal' sounds a lot like my days much of the time, but what I can't figure out is if you REALLY want that sewing machine to be fixed! hehe
ReplyDeleteAw, ups and downs but a smile at the end of it, what more could you ask for. We have 2 rescues and I wouldn't part with them for the world - Wolfie looks really happy!
ReplyDeleteGood grief. It does seem as if the universe is telling you something. Wouldn't it be nice if it spoke in something other than riddles?
ReplyDeleteUgh - hate machine troubles! Laughing about the mattress, though. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a delightful post! You have a wonderful outlook. Glad you got a chance to spend some time with your daughter - and help save a sweet dog!
