Having a $185 dental bill (NO dental insurance) to repair my lost filling, which disappeared last week, and which I am sure I inadvertently ate, thinking it was granola. OUCH!
Being told by someone that while I am obviously fit, I have a lot of "rolls". OUCH!
Doing a HARD Raggetty Ann PLOP on a sheet of hard ice at the bottom of my front deck steps. I had no time to even try to break my fall. My feet came right out from under me. I had forgotten about that sheer ice, because it was nicely covered with a two inch layer of fresh snow. I don't know which hurts more; the five needles in my jaw from my visit to the dentist, or the pain in my butt from landing so hard on my backside. OUCH!
NOT receiving my new Visa card, when my old one expires at the end of the month, and being told it was shipped to the wrong address. Don't assume because you change your address online with your bank in plenty of time, that they will apply that address change to everything you have with them. Forget that! It was sent to my old address, which is now my mother's former address, as she has moved as well. So I have had to be without a credit card for three business days, while they rush ship me one directly to the branch. (Five days where I can't use my Visa? Doesn't that count as an OUCH?)
Walking to your car in a parking lot at The Dollar Store, and hearing a child's voice yell out the window of a moving car, before you even see her cute little face, "MADAME, no fa fredo oggi!" That is Italian for "It's not cold today!" I teach a few Italian phrases when I supply and some kids are just tickled with it. This little one obviously was. I yelled back, "No, fa bello oggi!" AWE!
The trail in front of me today, while snowshoeing, and the trail behind me. AWE!
Celebrating a fifty-first birthday in the family, with baby bro's birthday tomorrow and Mamacita's eighty-second on Tuesday, with Mimosas and Sunday brunch. AWE!
Finishing up the week in Kindergarten, where it was wild! That day alone would be a whole other blog! Reading a story always calms children down, so I read them a story about "The 10 Rubber Ducks" being put in a box on a cargo ship, destined for faraway countries. When I threw out the following question, "Can you think of a faraway country", little Landon piped up, "Allardville!" AWE!
NB: Tu dois peut-être venir de la région Chaleur, ou assez bien connaître notre belle province, pour apprécier sa réponse. Encore une fois, j'ai voulu rire aux éclats.
