I have been tasked with painting the new ceiling in the
sunroom and started the project last Friday. On Saturday I was going to finish the
primer coat and then start on the new color but I decided to change the sheets
on the bed first. I grabbed a sheet, walked around the bed and then jammed my
pinky toe against a bedpost and, yes, I now have a broken toe … black-and-blue
and painful AF.
Sunday morning as I limped into the kitchen Carlos said:
“You gonna paint the ceiling today or should I have Alex
come by and do it?”
Not a word about the toe, just the paint, and would I like
to climb up a ladder and paint the top of the peak which is about 14 feet up.
He’s lucky I didn’t break his toe. |
Oh that is a real boost! I must be smart because I do not like #47. In fact, I despise him so does that make me extra smart?
ReplyDeleteYes it does. I may, in fact, be a genius.
DeleteYou can always say the broken toe, is from kicking someone.
ReplyDeleteAnd I have so many people to kick!
DeleteIs Carlos' hearing failing as well as his eyesight? ๐คฃ๐
ReplyDeleteActually it is; he has retinitis pigmentosa which causes his eyes to fail but it also brings Usher's Syndrome which affects the hearing.
Delete๐ Harumph! Kamala Harris' new book is revealing a ton of what was happening behind the scenes when the run for President was withheld from her for too long and then dumped on her suddenly...not exactly a recipe for success from Uncle Joe!
ReplyDelete๐ฒ Harris also reveals that she wanted Pete Buttigieg as her running mate. I love Tim Walz and I don't see negatives with him as the VP pick, yet I would have enjoyed the hell out of a Harris/Buttigieg ticket! Maybe Harris is right that the country wasn't ready for a Black/white/Jewish married couple and a gay married couple ticket all at once. But we do know that overthinking Dem decisions hasn't helped us when the opponent has no such thinking style! And now, our chance to carefully consider our Dem voting choices may not exist at all!! ๐บ๐ธ๐ณ๐คฌ
๐ป On the other hand, Tuxedo Rocks because he knows how our right to vote is in trouble! ๐๐ป๐ค
I may have to read her book though I don't like the stories that denigrate Joe, no matter the truth.
DeleteTuxedo needs to have everyone listen to him!
My ex (long removed from my life) used to look like Robert Redford. Such a shame he wasn't nice like RR.
ReplyDeleteI find kindness quite hot and you can be good-looking as hell but if you aren't nice the ugliness shines through.
DeletePretty boys come and go, but the handsomeness of Redford is immortal. Now you know why I usually wear slippers, bed posts and dog toys. And Andreas is a contender.
ReplyDeleteBecause he wasn't just a pretty face, he was so much more.
DeleteI am still travelling barefoot through Casa Bob y Carlos.
Redford - nearer to being perfecion as just about any other celebrity I could name.
ReplyDeleteA decent human being, a fine actor and a wonderful filmmaker and humanitarian.
DeleteThat may well be only the second true thing that Orange Shitgibbon has said in 15 years - the first being the reason he ran as a Republican - because they're dumb and believe anything he tells them.
ReplyDeleteRedford did a lot for film and theatre through Sundance - the Theatre Lab helped develop stage plays. A true gentleman.
You're so right about Redford.
DeleteDo you think the handsomeness of Redford is nothing compare to Brad Pitt? Ooopss
ReplyDeleteI'll take Redford any day, though Brad Pitt is lovely, too.
DeleteRobert Redford!!!
ReplyDeleteNow THAT is a dreamy man. And that's how you wanna go: with people lamenting you have passed. He'll be missed.
Oh, that zing at Cheeto's daughter! LOL I hate them all.
Carlos keeps you on your... toes?
XOXO
Redford was and will always be iconic. And hot.
DeletePoor Ivanka. I wonder iofg she's in the Epstein files for hooking up with Daddy?? ๐คฎ๐คฎ๐คฎ
Yes, he keeps me on my toes and my toes in bandages!
xoxo
the dog's mother
ReplyDelete(Carlos) (Tuxedo always)
(Bob's toe)

DeleteTuxedo knows, he has their number !
ReplyDeleteIt’s been many decades that the GOP has called Democrats communists, and then the GOP gets upset when they’re called fascists. Upset because they know it’s true. And now their regime has had their hacks at the FCC get Jimmy Kimmel fired at ABC. Act like fascists expect to be called fascists.
-Rj
The GOP doesn't understand Free Speech and doesn't understand that THEY are the snowflakes and THEY are cancel culture.
DeleteCarlos:San Geraldo. No difference.
ReplyDeleteTuxedo makes too much sense.
I, too, thought it was Gwen Stefani.
Bob Slatten is a catchy name for a stand-up comic.
Ouch for the toe. Tell Carlos to call Alex and pay him to make the bed, too.
Carlos slays me and Tuxedo educates me, still.
DeletePoor Jell-O.
I need to hone my act so I may start slowly and play the plumbing circuit first!
The toe is thankfully feeling better and I may be back on the ladder this weekend.
I would gladly take Jell-O's quest for attention over the orange lard ass. Take care of yourself, Bob. You don't realize how important that toe is until you hurt it. And I am glad you have some new friends at the cabinet makers.
ReplyDeleteCan I pass on both Jell-O and Cankles, please???
DeleteI think the cabinet makers will be the start of a new career in comedy. I'll play all the homebuilder conventions throughout the state!
So sorry about your toe! I stubbed my pinkie toe way back in April and it still bothers me sometimes! Since I hate felon 45/47 with every fiber of my being, I must be gifted.
ReplyDeleteI, too, enjoy being part of the smart set!
DeleteTuxedo was a cat ahead of the times. He certainly had this current regime figured out.
ReplyDeleteSorry you broke your toe. You will now find the f*cker will break every time you stub it or at least that's been my experience.
Carlos certainly knows how to push your buttons. It might be annoying but it is fun to hear about. :)
Tuxedo was the greatest cat ever.
DeleteAnd now I fear I'll be wearing shoes around the house and I HATE wearing shoes around the house!
Carlos can be high-larious!
Gotta love Carlos. Gigi
ReplyDeleteI do! ๐๐๐
DeleteI'm kind of with Carlos on this one. 10,000 is the FIRST payment?
ReplyDeleteHope your toe heals quickly.
Cabinetry is expensive. And he wasn't shocked at the amount, he'd simply forgotten that I was transferring the money!
DeletePoor Bob! Sorry you broke your toe and hope it feels better soon.
ReplyDeleteIt is mending. I may be back on the ladder by Sunday! Thanks Ellen.
DeleteYou don't hold a paint brush with your toe. You are malingering.
ReplyDeleteBest not to encourage me to avoid injury by not changing sheets.
Redford could look incredibly handsome at times, but not always. Some of his 'looks' didn't work for me. I pleased to learn about his social responsibility during his life.
But when I am painting I am standing on a ladder to paint a ceiling at sixteen feet high so that's not good for the toe.
DeleteYowch! Stubbing a toe is akin to stepping on Lego while still half asleep -- neither is funny, but it tickles me to think of your toe in a wee cast, LOL!
ReplyDeleteI asked my doctor for a tiny cast and she said NO!!!! How am I supposed to get sympathy points????
DeleteRedford was gorgeous and a good person. That combination doesn't occur often. You know how I feel about the felon, so my IQ must be about 250.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
You're right on BOTH counts.
Deletexoxo
I'm late today!!!!! I once read an interview with Redford where he said when he filmed The Way We Were, he was very uptight and not comfortable with bed scenes with Barbara Streisand. A couple times she would start rubbing his leg, and start getting touchy, and such waiting for the scene to film. I laughed because he said he wore like three pairs of underwear so she wouldn't have to feel anything, I'm sure, to her dismay.
ReplyDeleteI'd be dismayed!!!! Hell, I'd be pissed!
Delete$ten thousand is a down payment? Clearly I am out of touch with kitchen costs. And again Tuxedo is SO right.
ReplyDeleteI have a question. Doctors the world over will tell you thta obesity and bad eating habits will kill you, so why isn't that fat orange blob dead?
Cabinetry is expensive.
DeleteLots of folks have bad diets and are overweight and still living ... those things aren't a death sentence but they contribute to bad health.
So sorry about your toe! It's surprising how much that can hurt!
ReplyDeleteI was sorry to read about Redford -- an overall decent human being. The world needs more like him. (Mostly in the White House.)
The pain has subsided but I still am scared walking through the house barefoot and I LOVE to be barefoot!
DeleteYou're so right about Robert Redford, so few truly decent people around these days, or at least not getting attention.
