Monday Musings - Labor Day Version


 Happy Labor Day. I ran late on doing this post because I've been doing the opposite of labor. I've been lazy. Well, my version of lazy - still cleaned house, still mowed the back lawn while Ray did the front, still did laundry, still...you get the drift. But I did not go to work today.

 Sunday night holiday night is the best. No alarm set. No planning ahead. Staying up a tad to watch our Dallas Stars hockey team win its first game in the Western Conference final. Also been watching U.S. Open tennis - that's been very interesting this year. Lots of new names - young up and comers with a chance to win. 

My other accomplishment this weekend is learning to use my new Water Pik without spraying down myself and the whole bathroom. It's been humorous. 

Set the stage: I am left-handed but I always brush my teeth right-handed due to my mother, and how she taught me. Now put a motorized thing squirting water into my right hand. Controlling the switch has been tricky for me. And it jets out surprisingly hard - I guess that's the point to rid the teeth of gunk. 

Anyway - I've got it figured out and I have to laugh. I look like I'm five years old - I hold the Pik with both hands and control it that way. Goofy as hell, but I don't have to wear a bathing suit to use it. 

Hope everyone is staying well, safe, and wearing that mask as needed. Or if you see me with a Water Pik in my hand, lower that face shield!

Let's zoom into autumn.

  1. Oh to be a fly on the bathroom wall when you're brushing and using the water pick. Smiles. Sounds very entertaining, and I'm glad you got it figured out.

    Enjoy a lazy day. Autumn can't get here soon enough.

    Cheers, Joanne.

  4. Your Water Pik story made me chuckle.
    Yes, Sunday night, knowing there was no alarm or commitments the next day, was awesome.
