This is my post for #freewriters 2717 prompt blue pig hosted by @mariannewest
When I was a child, we had a beagle named Mitzy, and when she passed, my Dad would not let us have another dog, but he did get two pigs, one was black, his name was Bill, and his sister was named Sally, she was a red pig. I have never owned a blue pig or have I ever seen one, but I think Sally was very blue when she passed.
For Florida, it was a very cold night, and I begged Dad to bring Bill and Sally into the house for the night. He told me they would be fine. All they had was a metal 55 gallon drum to get in out of the weather. They were around 25 or 30 pounds each, so they were small. The next morning, Sally was dead. I do not know if it was the cold that killed her, but I have always blamed it on the cold, and I was mad at Dad for not bringing them inside.
I had a doctor's appointment today at 1:30 and my sister said she would take me, but first we could go yard saleing. I got two boat cushions and a record for 5 dollars. I did not need the record, but the boat cushions I did need.
Another sale I found a cupcake carrier to give my daughter with young children, it was 50 cents, well worth it. My sister is doing her living room in a beach theme and found several knick knacks. I found a small sea cow, aka a manatee. When I showed it to her, I said here is a sea cow and the people tried to correct me. I said, "Look, it is a sea cow to people from here, the only people who call them manatees are northerners". They looked offended.
We could not find any more sales, and since my sister refuses to "smoke" around me, I told her to go to the canoe launch so she could have a few tokes. I could see fish flashes and walked out on the downed tree to get a better look. I saw mullet and a couple of garfish.
I went to the doctor because I have been feeling like crap and not eating much, I get hungry but after a few bites, I feel full, yesterday I ate 1/4 of a sandwich for lunch and had a fish eggroll for dinner. At the doctor's, they weighed me and I weighed 85.4 pounds. I was shocked.
I told her there was something wrong with how my pee comes out, it is not a stream but more like a pinched off water balloon. I told the doctor I feel as if not eating much and the way my pee is are somehow related, and she agreed. She thinks I might have a blockage of some kind and wants me to see a gastrologist and get a tube run down my throat. She also mentioned a colonoscopy, you can guess where that tube will go. I shuddered at that one. I have heard the prep for it is bad, and I do not want to have it done, but I will if the other test shows nothing.
