The Rooster Crows and the Coffee is Bangin'!

This morning I woke to the feel of uncovered sutures tugging on the sheets and pillow case, but to be honest, I was happy to be moving freely about with an arm that has been bundled up in bandages for a week with twenty sutures from the accident. With my stitches gently reminding me it's morning, I hopped out of bed after one last snuggle with Keith, who was finally released yesterday and was able to return home to me. I will say that if everything goes okay, he'll not have to be returned, which is my hope, but he's prepared to take responsibility for wrong choices he has made and that's the best I can hope for.

So, I made him coffee his morning and he's watching the beautiful sun rise and he's loving the fact that he was allowed to come home. And I've been having a hoot of a time with the foods I've prepared, putting the first bite of real food, my style, with tons of fresh flavors, into his mouth, the first of which was my cucumber, cherry tomato and onion salad with dill and black pepper, red wine vinegar, water and salt. He was in the shower, for the first time in three days (as he was scared shitless to have to venture the shower while "otherwise detained.") and I took him a bite, and pulled back the shower curtain, popped it into his mouth and you'd have thought he'd actually died and gone to heaven. It's my little way of teasing him about why not to do things that get you sent to jail, not pass go, and not collect $200.

I made him a REAL cup of coffee, a la Starbucks grade French roast, put it in his hands and he just smelled the hell out of it...THEN...the taste.....and ensuing "AHHHHHHHHHHHH!" I'm happy to have him home. Now, let him screw up again and I'll be in the pokey for attempted murder. (JUST KIDDING!)

Oh, and I return to work for the first time since my injury on Easter. Wheee!!!! And get my sutures removed after work. Today is a great day! The rooster is outside my window cock-a-doodling and I'm at peace for the first time in days.

Happy Saturday, EVERYONE!
