The stretches Mom’s having me do helps with the pain. “It tells us it’s not from a bone, but a muscle.”
I’ve been fortunate in that, while I did indeed break the leg, otherwise I’ve only had sprained ankles or broken teeth (the result of bumping into brick walls-or, in the case of high school, metal lockers).

I called Georgette; the plan is for her to be here sometime between 2:30 and 3. We’ll play Uno or some other game until 4:30 or 5, when we’ll order salads or something from Marco’s. Around quarter of 6, we should probably begin making our way downstairs.

Morning, Jazmee.
I understand about being 'slow to go' in the morning. I'm still in pajamas...lol

It’s too quiet here in Virtual Land.
I’ve bought new chairs that should be more comfortable than the others, so come on in and relax.
The refrigerator’s packed with various fruits, and I’ve stocked the freezer with ice cream.
I’ve also bought loads of veggies and spent some time cutting some of the fruit and some of the veggies into nice bite-size pieces. Paper plates… cups… what’s your pleasure?

| Anyone want to go out on the balcony? I’ve got wicker furniture out there, and we can watch the birds—we’ve got several varieties. |

It's warm in the sun, but there's a nice breeze in the shade

Georgette just called and asked if it would be all right if she came around 1:30. “That’s fine,” I told her.
On my way to use the bike…

As the saying goes, “it’s a woman’s prerogative to change her mind.” And so, neither Georgette nor I went to Karaoke Night. Instead, since around 1:30, we talked… then ate a snack of party mix… then talked some more… and ordered dinner… then visited with Mom (who showed Georgette her pictures from Hilton Head, and got Ethan out for a bit, and went outside on the balcony with us).
We ordered from Marco’s: for me, a grilled chicken salad with no tomato or onion, an order of corn nuggets and a Cokep; for Georgette, a grilled chicken tenderloin sub with everything (meaning lettuce, tomato, onion and mayo), an order of breaded mushrooms and a Diet Coke.
Mom’s photos are out on Facebook and include several restaurants she and her friends were at; a boa constrictor; an alligator (well, what could be seen of it); the beachp; and dolphins.
Out on the balcony, Mom read the newsletter we have here, which contains jokes. My favorite was, “What do you get when you cross an elephant with a skunk? A smell you’ll never forget!”

Sorry, Jazmee. I was playing games and time flew.
Wicker is so pretty. I once had a wicker shelf I kept knick-knacks on.
How are you feeling?

Don't apologize, Daymare-your time is your own (besides, we're all busy)
I feel better than I did at 7 (I hadn't taken a Naprosyn yet and was really beginning to feel the pain-not to say it's gone now, but I'm better able to think about somethin else when I have food in my stomach: I ate the bread that came with my salad when I took the pill)

I was curious to see what I could find in way of “elephant jokes,” so Googled and came up with:
 http://www.azkidsnet.com/elephant.htm.
Most of these are corny, but a few actually made me laugh (for example):
- “What has 6 legs, 3 ears, 4 tusks, and 2 trunks?
An elephant with spare parts.”
- “What's the difference between eating an elephant or peanut butter?
Elephant doesn't stick to the roof of your mouth.”
- “What should you do to a blue elephant?
Cheer it up.”
- “What should you do to a red elephant?
Quit telling it dirty jokes.”
- “How do you get down off an elephant?
You don't, you get down off of a goose.”
http://homepage.eircom.net/~cronews/elep.html.
My favorites:
- “Q: How do you get an elephant into the fridge?
1. Open door.
2. Insert elephant.
3. Close door.
Q: How do you get a giraffe into the fridge?
1. Open door.
2. Remove elephant.
3. Insert giraffe.
4. Close door.
Q. The lion, the king of the jungle, decided to have a party. He invited all the animals in the jungle, and they all came except one. Which one?
A. The giraffe, because he was still in the fridge.
Q: How do you know there are two elephants in your fridge?
A: The door won't close.”

A: Have you ever tried to iron one?”
http://jens.mooseyard.com/2009/09/the-top-131-elephant-jokes/.
The better ones:
- “Q: What’s the difference between a dozen eggs and an elephant?
A: If you don’t know, I’m sure not going to send you to the store for a dozen eggs!”
- “Q: How do you stop a charging elephant?
A: Take away his credit card.”
- “Q: Why don’t African elephants like to play cards?
A: Because of all the cheetahs.”
- “Q: What did the grape say when the elephant stepped on it?
A: Nothing: it just let out a little whine.”
- “Q: Why do elephants drink so much?
A: To try to forget.”
- “Q: How do you make an elephant float?
A: Take two scoops of ice cream, some soda, and one elephant.”
- “Q: Why do elephants have trunks?
A1: Because they’d look silly with glove compartments.
A2: Because they don’t have pockets.”
- “Q: What time is it when an elephant sits on your fence?
A: Time to get a new fence.
Q: What time is it when an elephant sit on your sofa?
A: Time to get a new sofa.
Q: What time is it when an elephant sits on your toilet?
A: Time to run away.”
- “Q: Why were the elephants kicked out of the swimming pool?
A: They couldn’t keep their trunks up.
Q: Why wasn’t the elephant allowed on the airplane?
A: Because his trunk wouldn’t fit under the seat.
Q: Why were the elephants the last animals off the ark?
A: Because they had to pack their trunks.”
- “Q: How do you catch an elephant?
A: Wait at a street corner, and when you see the elephant raise your hand and yell, “Yo, elephant!”
Q: How does an astronomer catch an elephant?
A: With a telescope, a matchbox, and a pair of tweezers. Go to the jungle, and when you see an elephant, turn the telescope the wrong way around and look
through it. The elephant will now be so small that you can pick it up with the tweezers and put it in the matchbox.
Q: How does a programmer catch an elephant?
A: Fly to Cape Town and head east. When you reach the ocean, go slightly north and head west. Keep repeating this until you see an elephant, then grab it.
Q: How does an experienced programmer catch an elephant?
A: The same way; but before you start, you place an elephant at Gibraltar, so you won’t fall into the Mediterranean if there are no elephants.”
- “Q: What do you get if you cross an elephant with a whale?
A: A submarine with a built-in snorkel.”

Mom plans to go to the gym tomorrow, then visit her friend near King of Prussia.
And I’m beginning to wilt, so see you in the AM.
