greasy pancakes
I could've burned the house down yesterday, with a cooking accident. Thursday was Trish's 2nd day of work for the week, after finally returning to it Wednesday. I woke up around 5:00, like usual (this morning I woke up at 6:20), & after a few hours on the computer had to fix Trish her breakfast of pancakes. The burner started to smoke when I turned up the heat, so I tipped the pan to see if the pancake batter I'd spilled there the other day was still there. Big mistake. The Pam caught on fire. Without realizing that it was a grease fire I poured a little water on it -- it flared up again, finally died down on its own.
I had an appointment with Dr. Gnome at 11:00, so I was around long enough for the Bumble Bee Girl to call from work. My blood pressure was borderline & they haven't called back with the results of the blood sugar yet. When I arrived back at home I didn't feel like writing so I put on the Bryan Ferry videotape we have. Then I remembered that when Jeffer Auss was last over he'd called from his cell phone to report that our doorbell was busted. I called Fred, who fixed the doorbell (I hope) by sandpapering down the corrosion on the contacts. Also, he cleaned the A/C filter & taped up the pad by the computer. He watched TV with me a little, but took off before Trish came back.
Then when Trish arrived I fixed her a peanut butter sammy, but while she ate it I noticed a plethora of spots before my eyes. I called Dr. Stremcha & got in to see him 1/2-3/4 of an hour later. They let Trish come in with me -- she was scared. The doctor examined my retina, then took some pictures of the inside of my eye with a digital camera (which hopefully will be covered by Medicaid). Although there's some scarring from my Salt Lake City surgery, there's no indications of holes or tears. This was a real relief.
Today, Trish is cleaning the burner. First, we have to walk to the Iron Claw Credit Union to pick up some spending cash, then I'll take the burner apart for Trish. Car-girl postponed our TA until today; yesterday was their 10th anniversary & they wanted to go out to the mountains to have a picnic & review their vows. Since all that really needed to be done was the laundry, I OKed it. She's also going to help Trish use her Mr. Clean carwash kit.
