Oh my GOSH! It was SO crazy. I went back over to the house. D12 had her friend over and I helped H get their dinner together. He's still moving a bit slowly and having pain in his neck and shoulders. Doctor says it's normal post-op. At least his arm and hand are better...

Anyway, I went outside with him to help him bring in wood and he said we had to drive the tractor out to the shed at the back of the yard to get more. He cranked up the tractor and motioned for me to hop on. It's very obviously a one-person tractor (do they even make a two-seater? I'm guessing no...) so I just stood there and said there was nowhere for me to sit. He told me to sit on his lap and steer. So I did. We spent the next 15 minutes zipping around the yard and field beside the house - we did not actually need the wood, it turned out. So we two doofuses (would that be 'doofi'?) have the headlight on on the tractor and we're driving all over the field and I am laughing hysterically and zipping in and out of the trees at the edge of the property...and then we got busted!

D12 came running across the yard and the look on her face was as if to say "what the heck is going on here???!!!". She looked totally freaked out and that just made us laugh more. It was GREAT! So about 30 minutes later she and her friend have conned us into taking them for a ride (the trailer was still attached to the back of the tractor) so at 11pm tonight, they were bundled up in the trailer, I was sitting on his lap again and we were doing donuts in the backyard.
Can you say "Ohmygodhowredneckcantheyget?".
It was a freakin blast. I just got home.
I left him contemplating a percocet and oh, he told me I could stay the night. That I could get my bath there and he would give me something to sleep in.
