Well, its been a weekend. We attended a funeral yesterday, TheBoy’s great-uncle passed away on Tuesday. Afterwards we spent the afternoon and evening with TheBoy’s grandmother. Took her to get a new handheld shower to attach to her tub, and had dinner with her. The great-uncle in question was her brother, he was 83 and had already had six heart bypass surgeries. While it is sad that he passed, he lived a good long life.

Today we were going to go to Portland with TheBoy’s mom in order to see zoo lights  and meet up with a friend of mine. However, freezing rain was predicted to start here around 2pm and to start in Portland at 6pm. Since we didn’t want to risk getting stuck in Portland overnight, we opted to stay home. Left in order to pick up a chicken (so that I could roast it for dinner) and got caught in an icy, messy rain. That didn’t last long and then everything dried here but it recently started up again. They’re predicting rain tomorrow which should be interesting.

Update on the toes…My bruise extends from the outside of my foot to underneath my second toe. It is also most of the way up my piggy toe. Having today off to just lie on the couch and watch tv was good. TheBoy and I watched Gigantic: A Tale of Two Johns about They Might Be Giants. Absolutely excellent, and extremely funny. All-in-all today has been great, and with luck my chicken will come out well. Out meat thermometer died, so we’re going by the less scientific method to determine doneness.
