Does anybody know how to cut a cast off? Cause I may just do it myself. Seriously. It's starting to smell bad, which is going to happen. I think they put something in the cast to make it heavier over time. Priya is tough to read cause in one breath she'll be screaming at you, and in the next breath telling you how much she loves you. She's like a drunk friend that can't walk and needs to be carried around.
When I come home the girls like to get down on the floor and have me tickle them. I love doing it because I've been away from them all day, and then I can get down on their level and talk to them about their day. Lately Priya has asked to be tickled, and then gets mad when I tickle her. Then she gets mad when I tickle Mirinda. So I find myself talking in a would be calm voice a lot around her.
It's hard to blame her. I can't imagine having to be carried around constantly for the last four weeks, but there are definitely some habits she's picked up from this that we'll have to break when this is all over. We're down to 11 days! I was thinking about looking up how to remove a cast on youtube, but the temptation would be too great. Plus I don't think doctors like it when you do that kind of stuff. Prideful, prideful doctors.
We did go to the South Jordan Summerfest yesterday and ate some horribly unhealthy delicious food. I like the South Jordan Summerfest and not just because there's a good chance you'll be critically injured on the rides. I just like the atmosphere, and I have a deep abiding respect for carnies. Plus the likelihood you'll be shot isn't as high as it is at Westfest. Pluses all around.
We had a fantastic Memorial Day weekend. Visited some graves and had fun at Lagoon. We did a BBQ Sunday night, and I smoked some chickens. Holy crap they were good. This may sound completely prideful but man I'm a good cook. Is that over the top?
We visited my dad's next door neighbors as well. My dad passed away about 4 years ago, and we haven't seen them since he passed. It was a great experience to see them again, and to hear so many great things said about him. Man I miss him.
I got a new car this last weekend. We lease both our cars, and the lease was up on one of them. I decided to go with a Mazda 3 for the gas mileage, and man that car is sexy. I wanted a red one, but they didn't have a red one in what I wanted so I went with a silver one. The girls were excited and kept saying daddy was going to get a baby car because the car we were trading in was a SUV. Mirinda went with me to get the car because she's my little helper. She likes that it sparkles in the sun, and started calling it my baby sparkly car. There's nothing more emasculating than your daughter asking if we're going to drive the baby sparkly car. Not to mention they're starting to call me daddy poopy for some reason. My theory is they're playing a dangerous psychological game, and right now they're winning.
There's a big temptation to take the girls to Disneyland once Priya gets her cast off. But we're not sure how well she's going to be able to walk and the Star Wars Land opening will mean it's packed and we were just there in January, but man it's tempting. I think mostly because everyone you see at Disneyland is celebrating some sort of victory to be there, and giving her a hip and helping her through this time would definitely be a victory.
As always thanks for reading! I haven't given any food recommendations lately cause I'm saving them for the podcast. I will say don't waste your time with Roll With It Creamery.
You should get a carnie to remove the cast.
