waiting patiently.............

I took that blasted putty knife, broke off the plastic grip, and mounted it on the end of a 2 foot long piece of 1x1. As a result, the rest of the caulk has been removed without excessive effort or force. I went to the ER yesterday to have the stitches removed. Almost makes me feel normal again. As I waited patiently in the aptly named “waiting” room, I made the best of my time by observing humans. When I see the people sitting there, I have to wonder what their story is: the kid with the towel on his arm; the bug eyed lady about to jump out of her skin; the laughing hillbilly family who keep getting calls on the payphone; the lady in the wheelchair with the worst headache face you ever saw; the guy watching the football game like he was home in his la-z-boy. They all converged in the waiting room at the same time to deal with their tragedies. No one saw me there, just as I didn’t notice anyone last week when I was dealing with mine.
