Around Here

Around midnight, I woke up to Casey with his shirt off and his arm raised standing over me saying “GET IT OUT! GET IT OUT!”

It was a tick. Stuck in his armpit.

Having just been woken out of a deep sleep, I had no idea what was going on. For real. But we got (most) of it out, and have named the remaining part Vladmir Herman. Hopefully Casey’s skin will do the rest of the job getting it out.

Ticks bite. (Pun intended).

Our refrigerator broke, because the universe likes to wipe its bum with our money, apparently. We hope that it can be fixed for less than buying a new refrigerator. Otherwise we’ll be towing my car and a brand new fridge behind us on our way to North Carolina.

Casey and I are easily addicted to soap-opera-ish shows. We’ve watched the first season of “Switched At Birth” which has inspired us to learn ASL. Now we’re onto Army Wives. Which has seriously made me happy that I am not in the army, or an Army wife. What a hard life that must be. You know for the real army wives. Not the ones that are constantly having affairs and getting surprise-pregnant-five-seconds-after-their-husband-had-an-affair.

Over the weekend the sun came up. That is big news around here, since it’s been raining for ….ever? Ish? Well, we made the most of it. When on two hikes and to the ocean. Like we may never get to go outside again. Good thing too, because this morning? Rain. Obviously.

I had a new intake for an adult client today. I asked her if she had any concerns or fears about entering therapy. She said she was nervous about me, but I was probably okay because I tied my shoes and brushed my hair. I guess it really is the little things, isn’t it?

We took a walk on Friday. Both phrases “you’re walking like your ass is on fire!” and “Did someone just step on a bird?” were uttered. Basically, we should have our own sitcom, right? Where’s MY reality show deal?!

Hope everyone has a great week! Here’s a funny for you!
