Travel
Jeannie called me early this morning asking if I wanted to come over for coffee. Since I had already made a pot, I just took mine over in a thermos and visited for a while. I asked her to take a photo of me with the two girls and am waiting for her to email it to me for possible inclusion in the blog. I'm sure it would be a better picture of me and my haircut when I have my arms around two little girls! That alone brings a smile to my face.
I came back home after a couple of hours as I was feeling strange. It's the same thing happening to me that I experience before any big event in my life - beginning a trip was such a time, back in August. For a week or more before the actual event I start to lose focus and concentration, and just feel like I'm separated from reality. I know the upcoming surgery is one reason for it, plus the fact that Ara is arriving on Tuesday and Joe graduates on Friday of next week, and then I'm under the knife a week from tomorrow. I also have a feeling I'm going to miss Christmas with the family this year. (If I'm still on vicodin I'm sure I need to be safe at home in bed!) It's more than I want to deal with in such a short time span, so I withdraw and go inward.
So I've spent most of the day just sitting around, looking at camping and hiking gear on the computer, reading hikers' journals, and trying to keep my mind occupied. I hope tomorrow is a better day; at least I will try to get to the gym which I always look forward to.
- See You Next Year, Santa!
Another Christmas has come and gone, and I'm still reeling! Our family had a wonderful gathering, with lots of love and laughs. I am drinking a super tasty cup of coffee this morning, made possible by my new Mr. Coffee. One of my...
- Back To The Doctor
I'm trying to keep up with blog reading, but am not commenting as much as I usually try to do. It's after 3:00 pm and I'm still in pajamas, and doubt I'll get dressed today. I called to try to get an appointment with...
- Another Week Gone By
On Wednesday I went to see Liam's swim lesson but he decided he didn't feel like swimming, so we just sat and talked, then went out for dinner. I had tortilla soup that was so spicy I thought it would give me a problem later, but I felt...
- Beginning To Get Better
I just took my time getting up this morning and then napped on and off throughout the rest of the morning. Joe came by with his two girls and I had some lovely grandma time with them, plus just talking to my boy. He took and passed the 2nd...
- Travel Plans
I spent the afternoon with Jeannie to firm up our travel plans for the latter part of July. That will be about 7 wks after Donald's knee surgery and he should be able to get around if he doesn't overdo it. We thought about mixing cabin...
