Good grief, BA. I hope your D16's healing goes smoothly! That sounds awful. I think it took 4-5 days for the swelling to visibly subside when D17 had hers taken out last year. It's a rough few days post surgery though. Sounds like a great excuse for mac & cheese and ice cream!
I knew that the Chiefs were going to play tough. That's the way we play each other, no matter what the standings say. They are divisional foes and it's always a nail biter. Yesterday was no exception.
And outside of football, my general life kinda matches up to yours, BA. The hearse is gone, but his house was vandalized Saturday night. So today I had to meet up with the handyman to figure out what needed to be done. And of course, we have 2 showings today. Sweet.
So that's the less than desirable. I DO have good to counteract that.
1. My D20 reached the 1000 kill mark over the weekend. She's the 8th player at her school and the 4th junior. Unless she gets hurt, she might graduate with the top kills stat. We're proud of her!
2. I am friends with the founders of a nonprofit that is known nationally to educate awareness in the gay community. (They are the MOST lovely people, and I haven't seen them since Dennis' burial in July.) I got a call from the mister this morning asking me what D17 and I are doing on Saturday night. Since the answer pleased him, we are going as their guests in the front row at the Elton John concert Saturday night! And yes, we get to meet Elton, since he's donating to their foundation (and always has). Woo hoo! I love Elton! Mister is going to take D17 to meet him personally. LOL, it might not appease his ego - she wouldn't know Elton from a homeless guy... but we'll go with it.
In the meantime, my new hardwood floors are going in this week. It turns out that I have super power strength (Yes, BA, I was channeling my inner Wonder Woman) by moving furniture around, pulling up carpet and padding in my LR and DR and removing all the carpet tacking. I have the blisters to show it! There was no way I was gonna tackle the family room, 'cause that's where my big ass TV is, and there was no way on earth that I was gonna disrupt watching Outlander or the Broncos game. A girl's gotta have her priorities.
So that's it from my neck of the woods. FTR, I also liked Peyton when he was with the Colts (my sister's team). I root for the Colts unless they play us. So it was a bonus that he came here. And I'm definitely a Broncos fan. We wear our orange and blue pretty proudly in my house! I still root for your team (again, unless they play mine). Jack Kent Cooke died on my 35th birthday. I miss him. I think Dan Snyder is a complete a*hole. I loathe him. He's like the Mark Cuban of football...
TTFN,
Betsey
