The rotting thumb conversation

This is the conversation between the house elf and I yesterday (on the phone)

elf..where have you been
me.. the phone was dead I had to find one that was charged up
elf..not my problem, I have a big problem here
me.. oh no what?
elf..my thumb is bleeding and the knuckle is black
me.. OH GOD start toward the Dr's office right now and I'll call them

(Dr office said put pressure on it and have him come right in)

Me.. okay put pressure on it and get to the Dr's office
elf..it's not bleeding bleeding, it's bleeding internally and my thumb is all black.
me.. okay stay calm just get the Dr's office I'm on my way to meet you there.
(I'm envisioning witch's caludron black and thinking gangreen)

Get to the dr's office and meet the elf there.
He shows me his thumb

me.. (trying to hold back the hystrical laughter) Oh God Hunni it's a bruise
elf..no it's not it's black and I'm gonna die and my thumb is going to fall off
me.. no hunni it's a bruise but lets let Shannon (the P.A.) look at it
elf..I'm going to die
me.. just let Shannon look at it (still laughing my ass off)

Taken into the office, Shannon comes in and looks at the thumb

Shannon..OH MY GOD look at the bruise you have on your hand. (looking dead serious)
**I'm doing the porky's scene in the office when Beulah is talking about the mole on the penis, thing and turning purple and sliding off my chair onto the floor trying to stiffle my laughter**

Elf.. I'm going to die!
Us... okay but not from the bruise

After you laugh here go ask Burfica about trying to lose her eye

Happy Halloween everyone

It's all an evil plot

Duck....that's the evil plot and I'm never eating duck again no matter who tells me it's okay to do do so.
Scuba Elf's brother went to communist China for his vacation, and he brought home a peaking duck. Of course he wanted us to come over to eat with him and their mom. BAD move on my part.
We went we had duck. I'm not sure if it was the greasy duck, the fact it made a 12 hour flight from China, or that it's been hanging out over here for a week before being made into dinner. But after eating the duck and then looking at pictures of the brothers trip. We walked home (we only live 7 doors away so it wasn't but a stroll down the street) That's when it hit. The sweats, the shakes, the OH MY GOD I don't feel so good. People I think I puked up a lung and half my intestines and there were a couple toenails mixed it.
Now the thing to find out, is this a communist plot to off the evil American red headed females, or is the brother in law plotting my demise.
It's a mystery...a mystery that my poor stomach is in the middle of.

Excuse me while I go wither around in pain.

Thankyou and random stuff

Thank you everyone who has been praying for Dorko. She has posted her story on her blog. Second link down there on my side bar.

Overtime is killing me people. We are short 4 people at work and there is a special project going on which requires their own dispatcher 3 days a week. I feel like I live at the police department right now. I don't mind the money but I'm at the point in my life where it's not as important as the time I get to spend with my hubby, family and friends. And I haven't been able to spend hardly any time at all because of the OT.

So because I haven't seen my hubby in like a week. He was teaching Scuba rescue diving at the lake this weekend. So I worked all night Saturday night (which was my day off) then jumped in the car and drove 3 1/2 hours to the lake to pick him up just to have the drive home to spend with him. I took an hour nap on the drive home then we just talked and hung out for the rest of the drive. It was nice. We both were in bed early though, me from lack of sleep and him from sheer physical exhaustion.

Scuba elf is having surgery on his thumb on Thursday, so we are going in for his pre-op work later today. He has a "clicky thumb" it's called hammer thumb that the tendon that lets the thumb bend and straighten isn't working right and when he tries to straighten his thumb it pops very loud and is very painful for him. The hand doc says 5 minute surgery. SOOOOO why the hell is it gonna cost close to 10 grand. sheesh.

Burfica's last post about the town of Seligman has stirred alot of memories for me as well. She's always so good about putting memories down in written word. I might attempt some of my memories of this town in the near future. Hoping Gigantor got his elk but if not he can go back out. :-)

Brrrrr it turned cold over night. I hate the cold. It was nice to sleep with it raining and having not slept yesterday 12 hours people. I've slept 12 hours and am still planning a nap before I have to go back to work. blah.

Have a happy Monday

Prayers

Please Keep Dorko (over there on the side bar people) in your prayers. She really needs them right now.
She will tell you in her own time why, but just know that she needs them so please add her to your prayers or good thoughts meditations.

Hugs
Alekx

Burfica

Burf has come out of her surgery fine and they are on their way home.

I've not talked to her cuz she's snoozing but Gigantor says the doc said everything was just fine.

Don't expect her to post today and maybe tomorrow

Hugs

Yawnnnnn

What ever possessed me to volunteer for deep nights. Not that the deep nights are a bad thing, I enjoy that shift but what possessed me to volunteer for hours and hours and hours of overtime at the same time as trying to get used to sleeping during the day again.
I'm cute and cuddly but sometimes I'm an idiot.

The overtime has been fun though. We have a zero tolerence task force out working, and they are making the bad guys and girls very very sad. I don't understand why they are so sad they get a ride in a nice cushy police car. They get a nice firm cot (good for the back) 3 meals a day (bologna sandwiches) and they get to hang out with all their friends having stimulating conversations through the wall.

Maybe it's the whole handcuff, fingerprint and through search thing that makes them sad.

Man you just can't make people happy now days.
