A Day In The Life Of The Cubes

These are called ' The Cubes ' I really enjoy these rather expensive toys for some odd reason. The joy comes from placing them in various poses and predicaments and making up a caption or story.

The weekend.

Friday I got the two packages I've been expecting. One package was snails and the other was The Cubes.

The snails arrived safe and sound. Larger then expected. I unwrapped them from the wet tissue and placed them into a temp tank. Oddly enough when I went to check on them Saturday there was a small snail in there with them. I either didn't catch it Friday or they've had one since.

Earlier in the week I had called Tuesday Mornings and they had some special fx boxes. They make your Christmas lights dance to the beat of music. I hadn't actually asked them to but when I went there to get them I couldn't find any and found out they held them for me at the front desk. Bought two. Hooked them up on Saturday morning just for the fun of it and I think they're going to be pretty cool. I'm excited! Not sure just yet how I'm going to make it all work but there will be a soundtrack involved with the sharp sounds of thunder.

Saturday was spent outside trimming trees and working in the pond. Got a lot done still so much more to go.

Sunday was Grandma's birthday party. She's 86! I wonder if she has any idea how lucky she is to have lived as long as she has and for the most part been free of any major health issues. The party was fun. It was nice to see gram as it's been a long while since I've seen her. I saw her last before I went into the hospital to have my surgery.

I had called about this bouncy Zebra on Craig's list. Ended up going and getting it Sunday. It was in Park City . Took us about two hours. lol Had a really good time though with Leisa.

Beautiful day.

It's raining and thundering here today. Not everyones typical " beautiful " day but it's my kind of day. I just hope it doesn't get humid out. Yuck!

Had a great weekend. Didn't get a lot done however and I fell on my stump on Friday. Sure hope I didn't screw something up. The Dr.'s office just called. I guess as long as I didn't bust anything open I should be fine. Sure zaps my confidence for going up and down stairs though.

On a happy note. I should be getting my IT guy in today from The Cubes figures. Sure hope I can get the rest of them before they vanish. Sucks I missed out on getting pat. Really wanted the break room set. I have a few funny ideas for some.

Had another blessed weekend sitting out by the pond. I had wanted a Koi pond for quite awhile but had no idea about the Dragonflies. I seem to be enjoying them as much as I am the koi and pond. I figured we'd get a few eventually but never anticipated the amount or variety that we're getting. It's even compelled me to get a book on insects so that I could identify them. The way they mate is beyond comprehension. Truely odd. I've been getting some really great pictures of them though. I'm still amazed at where they came from. How far they have to fly to get here every day and where they go at night.

I still don't seem to be in the Halloween mood. Perhaps because subconciously I know I still can't do anything but wheel myself around in the wheelchair and ask for this or that to the unlucky person that happens to be home to help. I'm excited about fall though. Hoping I'm doing well enough on my prosthetic leg to get around and go to a corn maze. I could do something small at the kitchen table with paper mache but still couldn't get anything out or put it away. So that's a bust. Still tempting however.
