Improving some....

Well, I made it to the showers and got some running to stores done. Made my monthly batch of breakfast muffins and 2 New Years' Day casseroles. One to take to Teri tomorrow and 1 for me, which I have already sampled for dinner tonight. Have to make sure it tastes good!!!!

I rented 3 movies and am about ready to start on 1 of them now despite the fact the Redskins are playing tonight. Or should I say, stumbling through a game? Definitely not as interesting when they lose most of the time.

I'm feeling somewhat better but my upper back is still a bit achy. Maybe a few hours of laying down to watch a movie will help.

Told Teri I would go to her house tomorrow around 12:00 and stay a few hours instead of her and Paul coming here to fool with my computer connection again. It's working okay for now and I don't want to deal with that over the holidays. Hope that is a wise decision.

And now for my movie........."The Devil Wears Prada".

Post Holidays

All of the holiday hubbub is almost over and I have been to Tampa again and back. Lucy was not doing as well this time (drinking far too much) but getting through Christmas was a "biggy" for her. Guess we all handle things differently but I am sure glad that I quit drinking 3 yrs. ago. Now I should work on the smoking but.........

The weather did not cooperate this time and Christmas Day brought heavy thunderstorms and tornado alerts all day. Tornados missed us but came too close for comfort. In general it was chilly (upper 40's to low 60's) all week.

I have been exhausted, achy and sneezy since I got home on Thursday and have not made it outside yet. Have to make it to the Post Office and grocery today so maybe the fresh air will clear my head. Bet I have slept 24 of the last 36 hrs. Now I am declaring myself "recovered".

Saved draft from 12/06/06 and never completed.........

Well, it looks like I have been really, really lazy about keeping up with this. Wish I could say it's because I have been soooo busy but, it is that I have been lazy or uninterested. For Shame !!!

My trip to Tampa was really good. Weather was great and being with Lucy was equally as great. She is making a valiant effort to get thru this mourning period but it will all take time. We decided that she shouldn't be alone for her 1st Christmas, so I am going back to Tampa on Dec. 23-24. I leave here at 9:50PM on the 23rd and arrive at 12:15AM on the 24th. I return on the 28th. Short visit but I need to spend time with my family also.

Work has been steady and not too pushed. In fact this week I have been sitting for 3 days waiting for the floors to dry in a new house so that I can get in to work. Hopefully tomorrow is the day and then I'll have to work all weekend to get done.

I have gotten lots of projects done so I am glad I have had the time off. Doesn't pay well though so I need to get working.

I was actually so bored yesterday that I went and had my nails done. This is one luxury I have never afforded myself because of my job but I JUST FELT LIKE IT. So there!!! Had the gel put on to build up my nails and hopefully keep me from picking them to the quick, like I have been lately. So far, I love them.
