Tow Required



December 6, 2013

     Mrs B was angry with me for washing her blue bath towel tonight. I could not understand her reasoning. Maybe she thought I was wasting water and her clothes soap or because it might delay her bath time. I told her about an episode on New Girl” my new favorite show. One guy always came out of the shower to find his bath towel  damp and eventually one of the other guys suggested it was because HE  used that same towel. When was the last time you washed the towel, the first guy asked and the second chimed “You wash your towel, why?” She didn’t get the significance of the share. Yes, every once in awhile, I decide to throw her bath towel in the washer, to mingle with the other clothes in the basket. I gave up trying to figure it out and apologized for the inconvenience.
     My bad ankle is throbbing and swollen. Has been since I realized it was HOT in the shower, red and puffy. Dang, I kind of freaked out a bit, thinking something is terribly wrong, the bones aren’t healing properly, who can I call, what should I do. Spoke with my Essentials Oil Guru and she told me what to dribble on it, for good measure.  Slathered it in Frankincense  heat rub, tightly would an ace bandage around the sore foot, up to the knee and elevated it. Doubt I will have to extract the screws and plate but time will tell.
     No out of control sliding happening today, at least from behind my wheel. Crawled past two women on Highway 13, standing next to a car turned perpendicular to the ditch and the other vehicle slammed into its passenger door. The ladies, both young, dressed professionally, on their respective cell phones, appeared calm and rational. I tootled by, thanking my lucky charms it wasn’t me standing there, in a bad way. Also very grateful my car was parked in the garage from the night before and I only had to be subjected to the frigid cold long enough to unhook the gate and drive through the opening. For many years, I had to park on the street or in the driveway, often exposed to the elements, scraping the ice off the windshield with a credit card, nostril hairs freezing with each inhalation of bitter air.
