prosodicEven though I haven't gotten any writing done yet today, it's been a productive morning.
Reece and I were out at Lake Meridian for almost an hour. We went down to the lake and she actually went into the water on her own without any provocation from me. This is miraculous, because Reece is pretty much terrified of water. I think she's finally getting over it. We were over by a bunch of ducks and I think she wanted to get a closer look at them. She waded out almost chest deep.
I took a picture with my cellphone so Lance could see proof that she was actually in the water. He was amazed and pleased.
After we came back from the park, I crated her and went to Grocery Outlet. I only had to get milk, but they have such a random and odd grocery selection and I inevitably end up buying more than what was on my list. I scored today, big time. Especially with the cheeses. They had a British cheese - double gloucester, and several flavored jack cheeses (a mediterranean, garlic and a southwestern flavor...I grabbed the mediterranean). Sabra roasted red pepper hummus, Dannon La Creme yogurt (the commissary doesn't carry it anymore, which really pisses me off), 2 cans of pureed butternut squash (for making soup), 2 jars of whole mushrooms, a can of papaya chunks, thick sliced Oscar Mayer deli turkey, a bag of frozen blueberries and a gallon of milk.
I spent less than $19 on all of that. Amazing.
Anyway, in the middle of typing out this post, Reece got the "zoomies" (as we call them) and started racing around the house with her toys, so I tried to engage her in play. And she accidentally bit the middle finger of my right hand VERY VERY HARD and I now have a deep gash in it that won't stop bleeding. I put a thick coat of bandages around it, and now I can barely type. Writing is going to be fun this afternoon. But hey, she's over her zoomies now...got over them really quickly when she heard me screaming and saw the blood gushing out of my finger. She's now laying next to me on the couch. While I was administering first aid, she watched me with that typical sad, guilty look that puppies do so well. I scratched her belly and reassured her that I wasn't mad. She just gets very excited when she plays. I've been on the receiving end of some pretty nasty injuries because of that.
