Staring at the Ceiling
Sunday Fun Day
⬆️ Look at that incredible view. Isn’t it magestic? Some might even say awe inspiring. Others would call it breathtaking.
What is it, you ask?
Ummmm my living room ceiling. Today was a sunny GORGEOUS Sunday in my little town just north of Seattle. Blue skies. Crisp autumn air. But I spent a good part of today taking in the view of my ceiling.
On Thursday I stuffed up my lower back. You might be wondering how. Was it lifting a heavy object? Perhaps I hurt myself in the midst of an extreme sporting adventure. Well, I will tell you what I did.
Wait for it...
I was standing by a toaster waiting for a bagel. 😐
Yes, as I stood next to a toaster, doing nothing but standing my back siezed up on me. I was at work and hobbled back to my desk. Luckily I was still able to get around, but things weren’t feeling great. But then stupid me pushed myself too hard Friday and Saturday, so here I am looking at my ceiling tonight. 👵🏻 <- #middleagedproblems
It hasn’t been all doom and gloom. The pups kept me company on the couch, and full disclosure - I did go outside and sweep the front path. I also stood at the bottom of a ladder while hubs cleaned the gutters just to make sure he didn’t fall.
And I made a full on Sunday dinner feast - filet mignon roast, gravy, baked potatoes, roasted tomatoes plus steamed carrots and green beans. So there has been time in the vertical today. However, I have mostly been taking it easy.
So on a day of nothing, what is worthy of a post?
Silver. Always silver.
Earlier in the week, before my strenuous toaster session, I snuck out to a local coin shop. The shop is fairly close to my office, but parking is a nightmare. However, the effort to go in paid off. I came out of the shop with a uniquely Seattle coin!
Look at this! It is a 1oz .999 fine silver round from the MLB 1995 All Star Game. It is special because one of Seattle’s all time most beloved Mariners players is on the round! None other than “the kid” Ken Griffey Jr.
Griffey was drafted by the Seattle Mariners in 1987 when he was only 17 years old. He spent two years in the minors before being selected to start as a centerfielder in the 1989 season. In 1995 he led the team to their first playoff appearance. In what is easily the franchise’s most iconic moment, Griffey scored from first base in the 11th inning to defeat the New York Yankees. The win sent Seattle to the American League Championship series!
Griffey played for the Mariners until 2000. Then returned to the team before retiring in 2009. In 2016 he was inducted into the baseball hall of fame.
So that is my Sunday. Ceiling. Some Outside. Dinner. Silver contemplation. Delightful!

Was it at least a good bagel?
The bagel was good. It could have toasted just slightly longer.
Pour some whiskey on it — Y’Arrrr!
☠️💀☠️
If I don’t have whiskey could I try sugar?
That’ll work!

@dfinney hope your back gets nack to tip top shape soon! Wouldnt want you on the mend during the Monster Raffle 3! I have heard it is much mire intense than the toaster. Seriously, feel better and at least you got good company and some very nice silver! Thanks for sharing!!
Right? If a toaster throws out my back what will the raffle do? Leave me as a paraplegic?!!
Getting old is a bitch, I hope you feel better today!
Getting old is D U M B.
Between back issues, gray hairs, flab, hairs in odd places 😳 and getting way more hormonal than ever before I would gladly trade mid forties for mid thirties!!
I hope that was the best bagel you have ever eaten and hope you get back to 100% soon!
I am at about 85% now! The bagel was good.... maybe not back out good, but still tasty. 😄
