Then it was off to the Optometrist about a half hour early, but I got right in, put the contact in, the assistant commented that I'd done that quickly---HELLO--I've only done this about 20l000 times. Waited to see the Optometrist, she was satisfied so I ordered the contacts and they agreed to mail them out to me, for a nominal charge (I didn't even ask what it was) and I was through!
Mac picked me up, having bought me the world's biggest dark chocolate bar to cheer me up.
I'd finally quit snarling and we went out to breakfast which is always a nice treat.
Then this morning, I stripped the bed, threw in a bunch of towels, washrags and socks and started the washer. Should have known better, too big a load. It took forever because the machine keep trying to spin dry the huge load. It finally gave up and we had to wring the load out by hand. Mac got the washer to reset, I hung out the really wet clothes and I'm hoping they'll dry.
So hot after that I had to jump back in the pool.
By the way, I looked up the origin of getting out of the bed on the wrong side and found out it dates back to Roman times. They didn't want to get out on the left side or step first with the left foot, felt they'd have bad luck.
I always sleep on the left hand side of the bed so I usually get out that side too.
ReplyDeleteOh dear I always get out the left side.

I have to get out on the left side of the bed or I would be face to face with the dresser that I can't open - it's too close to the bed.
ReplyDeleteGlad your wrong side of the bed day is over. It is strange how many superstitions attach to the left foot or hand. With several lefthanded family members I feel it's rather unfair!
ReplyDeleteThe left side of my bed would not be too good, either. But, I've been using it for the last week or so--figuratively.

ReplyDeleteMy husband never let me sleep on the left side..
ReplyDeleteYou write a good post for someone who got up on the wrong side of the bed. It's not really funny, but you make me laugh. I do hate to get up on the wrong side of the bed and be ill as a hornet all day!
ReplyDeleteMan, I wish I had a husband who bought me dark chocolate! And I agree with Henny Penny, this was a good post :)
ReplyDeleteI'm with Granny Sue - a man who produces dark chocolate is a keeper
ReplyDeleteI, too, sleep and get out on the left side. Maybe this is the answer to all of us "grumpy" wives. I'm still amazed that you can book an appointment online for medical stuff!! I can't see my doctor without waiting for two weeks. If it was milk chocolate, I'd marry him myself! -Jenn
ReplyDeleteSuch a thoughtful man. Loved learning more about the familiar saying.
ReplyDeleteHope that today is better! I get out on the left side, perhaps that is why I am a grumpasorus!
ReplyDeleteDark chocolate's my favourite. Which is the left side of the bed? The left side as you stand at the foot of the bed looking at it, or is it if you're lying on the bed on your back and your left side is to the edge of the bed? Hmmmm, now there's a conundrum.
ReplyDeleteJo beat me to to it, I was going to ask which was the left side. I get in on the left as I look at it, and get out on the right as I lie there.
ReplyDeleteGlad your appointments went well.
ReplyDeleteYou can't beat dark chocolate, I occasionally enjoy a square of the 85% variety.
I'm with Jo and Valerie wondering which is the left side of the bed?
All the best Jan
I hope the rest of your week has improved Janet. I hate doctor visits too and was happy to hear (back in June) that I won't have to visit them for another year now ... finally!!
ReplyDeleteWell maybe that's what's wrong with me. I always sleep on the left side of the bed and I'm quite sure it's my left foot that hits the floor first every single morning. I'll have to get out on my other foot and see what happens.
ReplyDeleteDark chocolate fixes everything I think. I hope yours cheered you up.
A chocolate bar is like duct tape; it fixes a lot of things. I always tell my husband to buy me chocolate instead of a greeting card. With the price of greeting cards nowadays, you can get really good chocolate instead.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad we don't get such hot weather as you've been describing! (You have SIX bathrooms???????)
ReplyDeleteMore like 4 1./2, 3 downstairs and a Jack and Jill bathroom upstairs. That's a toilet and bath/shower in one room with a sink in another room on each side.
DeleteIt's a horrible feeling when you get out on the wrong side, glad you had some chocolate and a special breakfast to cheer up the day xx
ReplyDeleteHow funny, never heard that about getting up on the wrong side of the bed but I've sure said it a few times in my life. Have a great weekend and glad you enjoyed my post about my Grandparents.
ReplyDeleteSorry about your bad day. I will have to remember to step with my right foot first when I get out of bed!
ReplyDeleteInteresting tidbit of info about where getting out on the wrong side of the bed originated. I truly try not to get out on the wrong side each morning. I used to tell myself the night before that I would wake up in the morning with vitality and good humour ... no matter what I felt. It usually worked.
ReplyDeleteHope your laundry eventually dried.
Wishing you a beautiful day...
Brenda
