The good and the bad

The last couple of days have been full of little events, some good and some bad. Yesterday was notable for the fact that I left my husband to prepare dinner, and he burned it to a crisp. I had gone to work on my computer and i was alerted to a problem by the beeping of the smoke alarm. This is hardly a new event in my house, but when the din was enlarged by a series of dismayed shrieks from my husband, I knew we were in trouble. A hurried scurry into the kitchen revealed that the endire skillet of chicken and vegetables had been reduced to charred ruins. i had prepared rice earlier so we had rice for dinner. My husband is a chronic multitasker and he had gone off to do laundry while the food was cooking. When will I ever learn?
this morning was notable by the sky diving event performed by George G. W. Bush. He looked pretty good coming down but when he limped away, I could see that age has taken its toll. Barbara, however, looked great.
We spent most of the rest of the day listening to a book tape: "My Cousin Rachel." I had read it a long time ago, but it was fun to just relax and enjoy it once again.
One final event to round out the day - my $19.95 hearing aid, advertised over and over again on TV, came with the afternoon mail. Actually, it cost $50.00 when all was done, as i got the battery charger as well. It was a good thing that I did, as the battery ran down after only thirty minutes. It is not particularly bell-toned, and i found that it irritated my ear, but my husband had been urging me to order it.
Well, I am feeling a little better each day, and hope to be back to my normal self soon. Bye, all. Keep in touch.
