Crazy Lamp Lady Explained


One could easily ask if I am becoming the crazy lamp lady? 
It would be a legitimate question. 
Do you recall last weeks lamp and shade?
 Keeping.


Just so you know Joe and I have a lamp clinic, of sorts, here.
 He can rewire them.
I rebuild parts missing with epoxy and then paint them.
Broken lamps are always a steal.
I never admit I can repair them.
 I rebuilt a rose, last month, on an oriental lamp.
 It sold quickly.
 I am not keeping this large, heavy urn shaped lamp. 
Please forgive me the wonky shade. 
The pineapple lamp is coming back to this spot. 
I seem to have a knack for finding lamps, with potential,
 at estate and garage sales.
Or do they find me?




Sometimes we find lamp parts at Habitat For Humanity Restore.
I keep harps and finials in a drawer and spare shades in an extra closet. 
I am forever switching shades with different lamps that I find. 
Restoring lamps and selling them has become a team project we both enjoy.


joy and peace

Amnesia Is Good


I lost yesterday.
  Large parts of it. I had a Procedure-That-Shall-Be-Nameless. 
For said procedure I had Popofol. 
The intravenous drug that creates amnesia for the event. 
Amnesia is good. Good in a myriad of ways. 
I was rolled into procedure room Number 2 by the anesthesiologist. 
She attached a 30ml syringe of milky white Popofol to my IV.
 It looked like she was putting down a large mammal and it was me. 


Thirty seconds later... 
I was in recovery. 
Drunk as if I had had twelve tall beers at the local bar, 
with the boys, after a long day at the plant. 
Joe said I was talking LOUD. 
My nurses name was Shelby and apparently I liked her name.
 A whole bunch says Joe. Oh dear. 
Thirty seconds later... 
I put my clothes on backwards and was walked out the door and put in the car.

The Procedure-That-Shall-Be-Nameless was a hoot and a half. 
I do not remember the hoot.

How was your week?

Happy Friday
Is it Friday?
