Avoidance

Holiday week…I’m excited, if you have read this blog throughout the years, you know that the 4th of July is my favorite holiday, summer and fireworks and shallow patriotism, I love it!

So, I’m glad, glad that the 4th is on a Friday, glad we have a short week, glad for lots of things.

We had a jam-packed weekend, most of it filled with us escaping death and destruction over and over. At least we know God doesn’t want either one of us to die anytime soon… or at least yesterday.

We narrowly escaped a car accident (due to John’s quick and calm thinking and reacting) and he narrowly escaped losing an eye when he was walking Remo with the retractable leash. The leash caught on something and snapped and the retractable of the leash went shooting into his eye.

Luckily, he is a-ok. But yeesh, I hate to think what could have happened.

And we got his bill from the emergency room and both got down on our knees to thank the gods of steady jobs and insurance…I can’t imagine how people get by without it, the difference in the payments was staggering and frightening.

We continue to be lucky, I continue to be grateful and John continues to lose weight by only slightly modifying his diet…grrrrr.
