December 16 and 17th, 2010 - 7th and 8th Days

Thursday was pretty boring, did more demos, and then came home and watched Psych, which is one of the funniest shows on television, so it was pretty easy to be nice on Thursday.  Friday I got to go and watch Logan sing at the high school and his choir did a beat box version of "Out of the Orient Crystal Sky", and it was fun.  When I came home from lunch, my mother-in-law, Ruth, had fallen and passed out in the bathroom.  We were concerned that she may have had a stroke, so we took her to the emergency room, and she had a high fever, and a bacterial infection, but no stoke!  They had to keep her over night.  Nicole had her Christmas concert tonight and it was really amazing.  A lot of our friends were there, Debbie and Brian, Kerry and Kim, the Sheppards, the Weavers, the Andersons.  You could really feel a good spirit there.  Afterwards, Nicole, Kaylee, Greg, and Hunter and I went to I-HOP and stuffed ourselves!  But then the waitress asked if I was 55!  What the hey, hoo!  I said, "No, I'm only 44!".  She was really nice though and we were really nice to her, so she gave us the senior discount!  Woo Hoo!  Of course, we were so excited we gave her a $10 tip, which completely wiped out any discount!  Oh well, we probably made her day. 

Then, on our way home we stopped in the hospital to see Ruth and as we were traveling back home, we saw a man in a wheelchair beside his car with the hood up.  Now, it's not very hard to stop for a guy in a wheelchair.   So, we stopped and jumped his car, and he thanked us profusely.  It was a great ending to a long day. 

Things I learned today, 1st, If you don't stop for a guy in a wheelchair, you won't stop for anyone and you should resign yourself to the fact that you're going to burn in hell! (OK, so that's a bit harsh, but still, you'll probably burn a little).  2nd, shave your head, and act old when you're at a resturant, and maybe you'll get a senior discount.  3rd, I love Christmas music, who can be grouchy when listening to Christmas music? (OK, maybe the people that were too busy to stop for the guy in the wheelchair, but not anybody that isn't going to burn!).  Christmas is only a week away!
