Here it is only Saturday but I am whipped! Wednesday was physical therapy which usually means I am worthless for the rest of the day. I managed to get some cranberry salsa made, but the "safe" dessert I wanted to do for Thanksgiving never materialized. Then Thursday was church then dinner at the Senior Center with Stan's family. We were there from noon til 9:00-wayyyy too long for this girl. I did crash on the couch for a while, but sitting has been hard anyway and I was toast. I tried to get Stan to take me home 2 hours before he actually did, but I don't think he got it that I really needed to. He wanted to pitch in to help clean up, but nobody would have resented his taking me home. When we left, we went straight home, I took my pills and went to bed.
Then yesterday, Millie came and picked me up. Jo-Ann's had pajama flannel for $1.49 a yard so she agreed to stand in line for me. I always make the grandkids Christmas pajamas. Gracie went along too, and we had a good time even though the Jo-Ann's line took 2 hours! We went for coffee, got Gracie's ears pierced (a story in itself), had lunch at the Community Co-op, and went back to Macy's to get Gracie a beautiful Christmas dress for her children's choir concert. Then Millie dropped me off to meet Stan at my niece's 50th birthday party. We were there for a couple of hours, then Brother-in-Law and his wife suggested we have dinner, so we went to our favorite place, Fiesta Mexicana. I spent too many hours on my feet. Today Brother-in-Law and his wife came to the house to help Stan cut up TWO deer. Sister-in-law and I spent the day in recliners watching Debbie Macomber Christmas movies on the Hallmark Channel. They've left and as soon as Stan rests for a bit he'll make some hamburgers. I'm not moving far from my chair tonight. My leg is a bit swollen, and I'm sore so I think some rest is in order. I need to make a trip to Walmart but I think I'll put that off til after church tomorrow.
Hope everybody had a great Thanksgiving!
You have been busy my friend. Glad your leg told you to slow down.
