Yup, there really is a tree in the jeep! I got my butt in gear yesterday and went to see Etty and Yaacov. The last time I talked to Etty she sounded awful, so I gave her a little pep talk and decided to use "Look For Me Day"(Wednesdays) to go see them. Not feeling quite up to climbing their stairs, we went to local restaurant that they recently discovered. It's dirt cheap and the food is great. Seems there's some odd restriction against eating green foods for people with clotting issues. Hmmm, must look into that. Etty kept telling Yaacov not to eat the green peppers that were in one of the salads and I questioned it. She really doesn't understand why so I'm a bit confused. I'll research it later. She was ready to shoot me when I launched into my "it's my life" lecture. I basically said that I rather doubt that one or two bits of greenery will kill him on the spot, and said that both of us have health issues and that not a one of us knows when our time will be up, but because of what we have it's likely to be sooner than later and we have to make our choices as to how we will live our remaining time on our terms. I smoke. It's my choice, my life, and I'll live it on my terms until it's not my choice any more. Yaacov didn't say a word, but he did have a satisfied look on his face when I finished my mini tirade. After lunch we went to their plant place. I found a plant to replace the one that was stolen a few weeks ago and it's still in the jeep. I also found a purple gnome and plants for the planters on the wall. I brought a fountain for the flower shop too.
I got back to town at 1830 and there was no parking space for me at the store. An employee of the cell phone company that shares the lot with us was rude to me in the extreme, and is going to very sorry for it later today. I left the lot and found Lavana so we took the water fountain to the flower shop. I went back to the door store until closing time-1900 and pulled up at home at 1925, and called Orna to help me bring the stuff in, but she was already asleep. I was not pleased. Asleep at 1925? Excuse me. So I got out and hopped on Harley and went back to the jeep and got the small plants out and shoved them into the planters myself. The poor tree-plant spent the night in the jeep and Orna just now got it out. It's now time to get dressed and go make a soon to be unemployed employee's day even more miserable than he dreamed it could be. Oh boy am I going to have fun!
