Super Lazy Sunday

Slept until 10:00 then until 1:20! I can't believe I did that. I'm am dragging so much!
Got up, took a shower and came downstairs to plant my ass in my recliner.
Looked at Pinterest and BC for a few hours each. I pinned a bunch of things I'll never get around to doing but it makes me happy to have the collection to look at.
I REALLY need to start sewing again. We need to move so I can get my stuff organised and out of boxes.
Read a bit of "The Woman Who Went To Bed For A Year". Cute book.
Ate more leftover turkey then brisquit for dinner. Roasted some olive oil potatoes for Tope. Made a great latte with the frother Margo bought me. Coffee, pumpkin spice and cinnamon.
Have to call Odette tomorrow for different antibiotics. This one isn't working.
Watching NCIS instead of the football that has been on all day

Walgreens

to pick up Musinex(sp?)Zyrtek, Stetson and some chocolate, $81 later I stopped at Starbucks and spent another $10 for a frappe for Tope and a pumpkin latte for me. I must be losing my mind to throw money away like that but I feel like crap and don't care.
Neighbors to the right have a beautiful sparkley yard
to rival what we usually do and Tim & Tanya have a "Tiny" blow up Christmas dog. It can rival the real Tiny!

Chris wants to get a Christmas tree even though I want to skip it this year. He said I could decorate it any way I want and he won't give me a hard time. Mom agreed with me... he thinks I'm dying. The boy does not give up the remote or the Christmas tree without a fight. lol

Ok Thanksgiving. Found a new hospital to use.

Christa made a great ham, potato, stuffing, green bean dinner. Brye made her cucumber salad and I roasted a turkey upside down. Great gravy drippings. Will do it that way again. Pie for dessert.

We finally convinced Chris to go to get checked out around 4:30, after he moaned and didn't get up out of his chair all day. He kept saying he didn't want to ruin our day but it was obvious he was in a lot of pain. We were ALL frustrated with him

I was still wheezing pretty bad so B took him. She was looking for the TX Med Clinic she said is on Westover Hills. Not sure there is even one over there. Found a new Baptist Emergency Hosrital on 151 that opened last week.

They did a CT scan of his upper body and he just had a bruised chest and enflamed tendon in his elbow. Ro's boss couldn't give him the day off so they bathed the kids, took showers and left about 7:00. B had to work at 4AM so I went looking for the hospital. Home around 8:00.

Spent today doing nothing but looking at BC and Pinterest and playing Spider Solitare. Chris talked to the insurance company.

Will life EVER calm down? I want to have a major breakdown but if I cry I'll choke to death. And I wish I was kidding.
Tomorrow has to be better.

Adding pics I like...

Can It Get Much Worse?

Started out an ok day. The cortisone shot helped the lungs a bit and I'm not wheezing. Took the guys to Gymboree then came home, put them in for a nap, straightened the kitchen then Danny told me to go home. Off Friday and maybe watch the kids one night next week.

Stomach flu for Chris and he totaled the car on the way home because of it. He canceled his last appointment and was on his way home because he kept throwing up. Made it almost to Braun and totaled the car. Pushed one guy into another and neither car had much damage at all. No tickets. Probably because he was hurt. Nice people all around.

Christa and Ro had taken the Caddy to HEB and I was watching the kids. They came home and Ro and I went to get Chris. Ro was great and loaded and unloaded the truck. Don't know how all that stuff was in the Fit.

Got home where Chris couldn't stop throwing up. Need to get the carpets cleaned soon as he couldn't move from his chair. He refuses to go to get checked because he says the flu will confuse the results. Not happy about that at all.

Saw Odette (Mark's PA)

I have bronchitis. Got a shot in the ass and a script for a 7 day antibiotic Levofloxacin 500mg. Wheezing ang coughing away.

Stopped at the Sears office to pick up the rest of the mac and cheese from the Thanksgiving lunch.
Went to the Helotes PO to visit my miserable clerk Sonia (and mail to Ireland and San Diego) over to picked up script at HEB then got home maybe two minutes before Chris whose 1 o'clock appt. was a bust. Waste of gas to go over to 35.

Fell asleep until 3:30 when Chris left for his 4:00. I'm just so much fun to be around lately.

Facetimed with Meg. Too cute.

Made stuffing because I'd done the bread last week before I knew Christa was cooking.

Skyped with Ann, AJ and Gareth. AEmilia read "A Path In The Forest" to me.

The shot is helping. I feel a little better.

Still dragging. Poor Alex barely lifted his head off the couch today and Nathan seems a bit better but still has no energy. We were on the couch watching The Polar Express and Nathan was sitting to my right. Alex was next to him and sort of kicked him. Having no energy Nathan watched then quietly said to me "Miss Cyn, look at what he's doing." No arguing or wrestling around. Just no energy. I feel so bad for them. They have never been sick before and this thing is just kicking butt.
Poor Margo had to work on a new system. She said they were backlogged 400 films. Danny went to the store then to the Ronald McDonald House, where he was supposed to volunteen today but he just couldn't. Everyone spent the weekend on the couch.
Margo texted me at 9 and told me to take tomorrow off. She is working 1 to 9 and Danny will watch the boys in the afternoon.

Danny let me leave when he got home at 4 and I've planted my ass in my chair and barely moved except to make mac & cheese for Tope to take to work tomorrow.

Talked to Ann today. Æmilia wants a village for Christmas so she will get the houses and Gareth will get the ships and lighthouses. The other things Gareth told Ann he wants for Christmas are applesauce and Cuties oranges! lol

I just hope Brandy doesn't change her mind about wanting my "clutter" for Megan.
Doing pretty good at clearing out my extra "stuff."

Gotta do a will even though I have nothing. The girls know that but it will make probate go faster if I have one. Took a picture of all my watches and jewelry. None is worth much but I put names next to each one so Chris will know who gets what. Kathleen is the only one who I have nothing for. Æmilia, Megan, Ariana, Evelyn, Emma and Abby get the jewelry and their mom's get my watches. Buying another cheapie diamond ring at Kays tomorrow so each granddaughter has a ring from me. One more to go to have enough. I love anniversary rings. Wish they'd do one more squared off or emerald cut.

On another note I did a "Long Island Medium" marathon. (Woohoo no NCIS for a day or so) Sounds crazy but recently I've seen both Deb and Grandma H who have both told me they are here but it's not time yet. Maybe it's because I've been so sick.
Ok back to LI Med. I told Chris I want to make an appointment for him (or me if I'm lucky enough to be here) in about 4 years. He doesn't believe in it but I told him I'll have her mention something he couldn't deny was from me. I've also told him I'll static up his football games if I can. lol Have to find the boy a new wife so he isn't alone. I love that man and don't want him to be lonely. He thinks I'm crazy. Maybe I am but it's better than whining and complaining.

Think I'll add a pic so I have something to look at when I review this missive.

Lay Down Sally

Chris asked me to make some CD's of James Taylor so I can have my favorite music when (if) I get the lung transplant. I'm saying it's my funeral music.

I've always said I don't want a funeral. I want to be cremated and made into a diamond ($4500 average) Well, I suddenly remembered I forgot to include some Eric Clapton. Chris responded "What do you want? "Lay Down Sally"? I can't stop laughing. I adore that man.
