requesting life’s rollercoaster to be more like the It’s A Small World ride

Hey there! Did ya have a good Fourth of July?!

The 4th here was great. And I have a video of the fireworks we saw in our little Bainbridge Island harbor to prove it.

Ah, yes, it was lovely. I even ran my second 5K that morning and managed to move around afterwards to see our local parade. *insert chirping, happy birds*

Little did we know the following day we’d have this in the backyard (& for weeks to come):

Evil, irregular hedge growth, you ask?

Don’t I wish.

That, my friends, is what you get when your husband falls off the ladder while trimming a giant hedge. And breaks his leg. Badly.

Worse than that last time, three years ago.

And I ain’t gettin on that ladder to finish the job! I have more important things to do, like ice bag refilling, pillow fluffing, and food preparation for the hubs.

The hubs, a rugged Alaskan, calmly said immediately after while leaning on his good leg, “Um, honey? I think I just broke my leg.” In response, the kid and I did our best Keystone Cops impression, scrambling around, bumping in walls and screaming WHAAAAATTTTT??!!!!

And what a silver lining that he’d broken his other leg three years earlier because being the hoarder pack-rat that he is, the hubs still had the crutches.

Now our summer is f#^*$ up, on painkillers topsy-turvy.

To add salt to the wound, while in downtown Seattle for the hubs’ CAT scan the following day, I got this:

Yes, I put 2 quarters in an apparently to everyone but me broken meter and found that little gem ten minutes later.

I swear, it’s enough to turn a person to drink. Oh, wait, I already am at 8am now do.

I just have to ask–

Universe, what did we ever do to you??
