I have misplaced my cucumber

susandennisThis is not a metaphor. On Thursday, when I got to volleyball, Steve handed me a cucumber*. I put it into my bag and then went into the dressing room where I left my bag and robe and stuff and went out to the pool. I remembered the cucumber later in the day but what with my ability to forget shit immediately, that remembrance did not last until I got to the closet to check.
I remembered it again and looked everywhere. No cucumber. None. Not anywhere I could find. I have terrifying thoughts of finding it in a shoe several months from now or in a pocket. Ugh.
*Steve has a peapatch and grows cucumbers and shares them generously.
My bathroom light went out again. And, then, a week or so later, one of the lights over my kitchen cabinets went out. I put in a work request (we have an app). And Jorge just came by to fix them both. Easy peasy.
The joy of NOT owning a home.
Fuck! I just found the cucumber!!! It was in my Thursday bag!! I take a different bag on Thursdays because I pick up the Timber Ridge Times copies for my floor on the way home. Oh, I'm so glad I found that damn thing.
I did swim this morning with the elbow sleeve and it was pretty ok. I could swim without it hurting. I swapped it out the sleeve for the bad when I finished and have been wearing it all day and have been able to forget my elbow issues for long stretches of time so yeah. I think I'll start with the sleeve tomorrow at volleyball but take the band for backup.
And I texted Ethel who's one of Jan's good friends and she said that Dick's surgery is past the hard part and they are finishing up and so far, excellent.
Ok back to Project Runway now. I was just getting it started when Jorge came in.

Fortunately I don't like cucumbers, metaphoric or not.

And Jorge for the win!
