[My] Life in Wisconsin

Worse eyeballs. Worser Fish.

Good Morning Everyone;
You'll be proud of me. (I think). After 20+ years of me dealing with this st00pid' ingrown toenail of mine, I have finally called in and made an appointment. My big toe is currently red, and way sore, (and the lido/nova/whatever~"caine" is getting low).
Maybe he will chop my toe off. That, so I don't have to go to bed and feel it, and wake up feeling it too. (To heck with counting sheep, I count heartbeats in my toe)! hehehe
Oh well.
I finally had an appointment to get my eyes checked too. Still "blind in one eye and can't see out of the other."  (I waited 6 months for that appointment). Will order new glasses when I can. In the meanwhile these will do fine. I will pick up some contacts too. They work nice with a pair of aviator sunglasses when I am outside and sweating a bit.

And since the weather has been nice, that perspiration is much easier to create. I do a bit of raking every day- and truly enjoy being outside on these days! 
This morning, the weatherman said there are 4 days left of Winter. He was quick to add that there are also 4 days left of our nicer weather; adding even more that we may even get more snow on Saturday.
That's OK now though- Any that falls nowadays goes away fast enough.

The ice doesn't always melt so fast...

The pond at Kelli and Tim's- Still frozen over (not for long)...

They have such a gorgeous yard...

Casey and I went down to check on the horses- Miss Breeze having a bit of a problem with her eye- Kelli was quite concerned after seeing Breezie's eye almost swollen shut that morning, had called from work.

Miss Breeze had been eating hay- quickly washing it down when I came around the corner.

Miss May thought maybe she recognized me?
.
.
Lord knows she sure recognized Casey!
.
.
.
Cnv0202 
And even gave her a smooch!
.
.
.
For the record, Breezie's eye was looking real good!
.
.
Cnv0203 
As she was herself!
Breezie is 26, and still kicks up her heels!
 

Kelli and Tim will be building a new home in a few weeks-
She has been very busy removing what they will keep, boxing everything up and moving that all to their temporary home.

They will stay in the camper in-between their current home being demolished, and the new one being ready for occupancy.
Yes, that would be nice enough for me to live in too
!

I'd called down there last Friday- telling Kelli that I had a huge dish of catfish just coming out of the oven.
And asking if they wanted any?

.

She turned me down! ? (She actually had a fridge full of leftovers that they had to eat).
*sigh*  ~But my catfish would keep.

I resigned myself to dining alone.
With some green beans and broccoli for accompaniments.
I had made my own tartar sauce, and made up my very festive looking plate.
And all the while I felt so paranoid...
.

hehehe
Sputty, smelling the fish, was just begging for some. (He is worse than Punk at this).
..
.
I dipped my finger in the tartar and tasted. Mmmmmmmmmm...
Then dipped a little fork of catfish in the tartar.

... And snitched a bite.

I truly thought I was going to die!
blech!

In my 51 years, and I can assure you that this was the very worst thing I have ever had in my mouth My trash can, all of 3 feet away from my mouth, seemed like forever to get to... Just to spit it out!

I swear the taste permeated everything above my shoulders, and I actually got quite nauseous. Recovering enough after spitting long enough to run out of spit, I almost tripped over the damned cat on my way to get a drink, and rinse.
(Yes, I said "damned" cat)! hehehe


Just what did the pushy Sputty~beast think when I offered him a taste?

.

Smart@ss Cat-  
But, that's pretty much what I thought too.
.
.
Meanwhile, Punk, who witnesses all within these walls; decided she would go hunt for her own dinner.

Smart dog.
.
.
.
Cnv0196 
She found something...
.
.
.
Cnv0197 
Inedible, but funny- whatever it was.

So she just got a few treats from Casey...

I have rarely, if ever before, had anyone turn down my food offering...
I have also never been so thankful that Kelli did exactly that, that night.

Once my ability to salivate had returned, I called back down there. Tim answered as Kelli had gone out by the horses.
She called back a bit later to ask if I wanted any of their leftovers?
hehehe Very funny Kelli!

I'd better close for now. Will be going to Casey's in a bit.
... And then I must go have my toe removed.


Have a 'wunnaful' Toesday!

XOXO
