Bah! Humbug...

I have a wonderful life. I'm blessed with a good husband and a good job. We have a roof over our heads and can pay the bills.

Today sucked though...Jerry has some stomach bug so he was out of commission all day. That meant no yummy turkey cooking all day because it would have been just for me and I'm sure the smell would have made him sicker.

We headed over to the nursing home around 10ish and found out that MIL had ripped off her toe nail and it was bleeding. All I could think of is, "Oh great...she really needs this foot so she better take care of it". She also had a huge red patch on her shin which the nurse said was cellulites and that they would have to call the doctor about that. So that on top of her stomach flu. Fun eh? I don't know how much more she or we can take. We opened presents with her and then headed to a common area to open presents with Melissa (Jerry's sister), Dennis (Her husband) and Ashley (Dennis' daughter). Not really the Rockwell Christmas I try to envision every year. We finally got home around 1pm. Jerry went to bed to hopefully fend off his stomach "bug". I watched a lot of mindless movies.

Around 7pm I decided I needed real food and not just junk that we got for Christmas. Not really in the mood for Chinese food I thought, "What the heck...I could use some Waffle House breakfast food." yeah...umm..no...it was so packed that I couldn't even get a parking spot. How pathetic is that. So I ended up at Walgreens to buy a loaf of bread to make grilled cheese. It was hot, and yummy (that's what she said) so I really can't complain. (yet here I am typing away)

I'm trying to keep a positive attitude but days like this make it tough.

    As much as you listen to me vent, if you ever need a shoulder to cry on, mine are available. :)

BSG Comes to an end?!

Image
I am a HUGE fan of the new Battlestar Galatica (BSG). Sad to hear that they are coming to an end next year. Does it mean they get to Earth? Are the Cylons defeated? Or do they find a peaceful way to co-exist with the Cylons? OR...are they going to leave it in cliff hangers for future movies? Thank goodness for DVD's so that I can always get my BSG fix!

Independence Day!

On July 4, 1776, the Second Continental Congress unanimously adopted the Declaration of Independence. When reading the text it's difficult not to see how history repeats itself. We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed, by their CREATOR, with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles, and organizing its Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate, that Governments long established, should not be changed for light and transient Causes; and accordingly all Experience hath s...

Hi-Tech Bed

Image
So our Select Comfort Bed arrived today. So far so good. Although I think we are losing air (it's not staying at 100 after I fill). Not sure though. Tonight will be the real test. I think my sleep number is 35. When trying it out both in the store and at home that is where I'm not feeling any pressure on my hips or shoulders. Jerry thinks his number is around there too. I'm really hoping this will help with Jerry's back, shoulder, neck pains. He is so much better but he occasionally gets flare ups. No fun Oh yea...and the controller is Wireless. We can be gadget whores in our sleep too!
