Crash

We were staying in Barb's friend Chrissy's basement while we were in Ottawa.  Chrissy was recovering from hip surgery and had to walk with crutches.  She also had a special toilet seat in the bathroom that we used on the main floor.  The toilet seat had legs and was much higher than a usual toilet seat.  Barb was sleeping of the air mattress and I was sleeping on the pull out couch.  Every time Barb moved on the air mattress, it made a loud noise.  So I heard her get up in the night to go to the bathroom on the main floor.  I was awake and I heard this loud crash and a lot of swearing.  I didn't do anything at the time, but I found out the next day that Barb had tripped over one of the legs of the toilet seat in the dark and fallen on one of the hand rails of the toilet seat and bruised her bum.  Her bum is having a pretty tough trip this time.

Cold Butt

We were staying at Chrissy's house in Ottawa and using her basement because she was getting renovations done to the upstairs bedrooms.  We were happy to be in the basement where it was nice and dark in the mornings because Chrissy doesn't have proper curtains and the sun comes in very brightly into her upstairs bedrooms early in the morning.  So we had brought our air mattress and thought we would use that in the basement.  Chrissy told us that she had a pull out couch in the basement that we could use.  Barb thought it would be uncomfortable to both sleep on the air mattress.  So I decided to sleep on the pull out couch.  On the first night, Barb found out that she was freezing her butt on the air mattress because she didn't have enough blankets underneath her and the air mattress wasn't very warm in the basement.  She wondered whether Laura found the air mattress cold when she was staying with us because Barb had never thought of putting blankets underneath her.

Anniversary

We happened to be going to Ottawa for a pickleball tournament and I took advantage of the trip to go into work and have a meeting with my supervisors.  Barb didn't know if we should celebrate Julia's birthday or just her wedding anniversary.  At the last minute, she decided to bring Julia's birthday present bag with us to Ottawa.  When we got there, Barb found Julia's wedding anniversary card in the birthday bag.  Had she decided to wait to celebrate her birthday, we wouldn't have had her wedding anniversary card to celebrate with her.

Las Vegas

Barb found herself in a photo about the Las Vegas US Open of Pickleball which she found strange because she has never been to Las Vegas.  Then she realized that her friend Anne had photoshopped her and all her friends into the picture.  Barb was amazed that it looked so realistic.

Tupperware

When we were in Florida, Barb was mad because she thought that she left the big tupperware dish in New Hamburg that she keeps leftover pizza in.  When she got back to New Hamburg, she couldn't find the big tupperware dish.  She thought this was very strange because it was so big she thought it would be hard to lose in our small house.  Anyway for some reason she opened the dishwasher which we never use because I wash all the dishes by hand and there are not that many dishes from just the two of us.  We don't cook anything fancy that uses a lot of dishes.  There she found the big tupperware dish that she puts the leftover pizza in.  It was still dirty.  So I guess she was trying to hide it one day last year when someone was coming over.

Guaranteed

Barb had gotten crowns on all of her back teeth last year before we left for Florida.  The other day, she broke one of her crowns.  So she went to the dentist and he said that they were guaranteed for a year.  So he would replace it for free. Well actually he charged our old dentist who did the original work.  So Barb got her tooth replaced and when she came home from the dentist she was hungry.  So she was eating potato salad because she thought that would be soft and wouldn't possibly hurt her new tooth.  However, because her mouth was still frozen she accidently bit a big chunk out her cheek while eating the potato salad.

Father's Day

The tournament was on Sarah's birthday and Father's Day.  I had told Sarah that our team wasn't very good.  So I was sure we wouldn't make it to Sunday.  That we would be eliminated on Saturday.  But we won 2 out of our first 3 games.  So we were still in the tournament on Sunday morning.  But we had the 8 am game.  I told Sarah that we would probably lose and I would be home in time to go to Cora's for our traditional brunch.  But we won at 8 am and had to play again at 11:30 am.  So Sarah and Barb went to Cora's without me.  I got home in the afternoon and they weren't home yet.  Barb had taken Sarah to the Thrift Store to buy her birthday presents.  I had a nap and when they got home they brought KFC which used to be one of Sarah's favourite birthday dinners.  So I hadn't missed everything.
