You just never know!

Well, you just never know what's gonna happen next!

Sister started setting up for the estate sale at her house on Thursday and actually made the first sale then! I arrived on Friday morning and Sharon was already there helping with the set-up.  The sale was advertised for Saturday, but folks were out in force Friday and we sold quite a bit! Come Saturday morning things were really popping and we were very thankful that shoppers come in waves...it's really interesting that there are mad rushes and then restful lulls! Lots sold and we couldn't have done it without Sharon!  We had either hot direct sun or downpours...very little inbetween.  Even with a hat I got too much sun...Sunday we had planned to pack up, but were actually too tired and just sat outside with a 1/2 price sign at the bottom of the driveway...we were hoping to sell everything and not have anything to pack.  Sold a bunch, but not all.

Monday we started packing things for Wag the Dog.  Got hungry and decided to go to lunch.  Of course it was raining 'most all day.  We had to park in the back parking lot of Marie Livingston's and walk through the rain to get to the front of the restuarant.  With my first step up to the tiled walkway my feet flew out from under me and I took quite a spill.  Managed to grab something and didn't hurt myself too much, but my right shoulder felt awful.  We had a fantastic lunch with enough left overs for each of us for supper.  Then it was back to sister's house to continue packing in the rain.  A couple of hours into the packing I had another fall, much worse than the first one...I was carrying a big black garbage bag full of holiday decorations to the garage and my foot hit a slick black patch of slime and, frankly, it all happened so fast that I'm not sure just what happened.  I hit the cement face first and remember feeling my teeth hit and thinking "oh, please don't let them break" and then I had stars and blackness.  Somehow I scraped the side of my left leg and broke a toe on my right foot. I have a very small chip on one of my front teeth, a swollen nose and a bruised and very sore chin.  Both of my shoulders hurt like all get out and my back and hips are giving me fits.  All in all however, I'm doing quite well.  It could have been a lot worse.  Managed to drive home and to the vet's to pick Jazzy up...I'd picked Shirley up before going to Tallahassee that morning.

Yesterday, except for filling and emptying the dishwasher, cleaning the litter boxes and taking out the kitchen trash I did nothing...stayed in bed most of the morning and slept in fits.  Hobbled out to my chair around 3 and other than bringing in the mail and letting dogs and cats in and out did nothing.  Didn't even get on the computer.  Today is looking like it'll be very much the same, I'm much sorer today for some reason.  Feel sure that tomorrow will be better.
