If you give a me a glass of water.....

Alright.  So, this morning I woke up at 5:00am (way too early) because my bladder was about to burst.  Before I ran to the bathroom, I figured I could "hold it" long enough to run to the basement to throw last night's wet laundry into the dryer. While I was loading the dryer, I noticed the nail polish on my right thumb was really messed up, so when I came up from the basement, I stopped to paint my thumbnail.  As I was doing that, I saw there were just a few dirty dishes in the kitchen, so I ran a sink full of hot water, then washed them without getting my right thumb wet (it was somewhat challenging).  Looking at the clock, I saw if I showered really quick, I'd be just on time for a 7am AA meeting, but needed to find my Big Book before I left.  I looked in the basket where I "ALWAYS" keep it, but it wasn't there.....so the search began for that.  During the search, I looked in that same basket at least twice more (does anyone else do this?  look for something in a place you already searched?  or is this just me..)  I finally located the book in the last place I looked.  It was the last place because once I found it, I stopped looking. (tee hee)   Hopped into the shower to get cleaned up for the day, washed up while hopping up and down on one foot.... got out, got dressed, got my coffee hot, and nearly walked out the door before realizing I still had to take care of the bladder issue!

For cheap entertainment, I should just follow myself around and watch what happens.

 

Thinking 'bout Pa.

Today for absolutely no reason whatever, I'm remembering my dad..  Bruno, an Italian name for a very Finnovated guy, source of endless nonintended hilarity.  These are ALL true stories (you really can't make this shit up)

Fishing...retrieved his fishing pole from the trunk of the car, tramped at least a half a mile through the woods to the perfect fishing spot.  "Ahhh Shit" says he, "I am snagged on something".   Traces back along the fishing line to find the snag....in the trunk of the car.

Fishing...sprayed his hat with bug repellent and couldn't understand why his fishing partners were cracking up.   The but repellent that he believed was a spray, was in fact foam, rendering him one of the world's largest Finn sundaes.

Carpentry....Working on remodeling the kitchen, was amazed and dismayed to find he'd cut through the power cord to his circular saw.

Carpentry...Installing wood paneling in a bedroom..step one, lay the paneling on two sawhorses.  No sawhorses available?  Not a problem...lay it on the kitchen table.  Cut the paneling to size, but forget the paneling is on the table, so cut through paneling AND table.

Carpentry...Spend all weekend repairing and repainting a bed frame for your newest grandchild.  Prop freshly painted headboard against garage door.  In an attempt to air out the garage, open second garage door....or so he thought.  Open door the headboard is propped against, which is lifted up then SMASH onto concrete floor.  Repeat as needed.
