Sunday

I have been cooped up in my house since Wednesday and I am slowly going a little nuts.  I haven't moved much except from the couch to the bathroom to the bed and back.   Yesterday I felt so sick that it didn't matter, but today I feel so much better and am getting really bored.  I can't do much around the house, like clean or straighten much of anything, can't really play with Ryan except for reading books, etc...I'm glad that I'm bored because it means I'm feeling better, but my days are just exceptionally LONG and drawn out.   Football comes on later and then Aaron also has to teach me how to use the Blue Ray so I can watch a few movies.   I should be able to get out of the house tomorrow as State Farm finally officially totaled Aaron's car on Friday so we have the go ahead to buy the Journey.  I have to be there to sign the paperwork, so that's kind of my "get out of jail free card" for a few hours.

Overall, I feel better except for that I'm really weak and very tired.  I have only had one Tylenol 3 in the last 24 hours, and stick with ibuprofen otherwise.  This is a major improvement and has helped keep the nausea away.   Luckily, almost all of my Christmas shopping is done and there is just a little wrapping to do.  I haven't done ANY Christmas cards yet, which I thought would be done now but I haven't had the energy and can't find my address book.   I think it's upstairs but can't get up there easily to find out.  So, the cards will have to wait and they will probably be late but that's just life this year.   

I still haven't figured out HOW I'm going to manage an airplane to Maryland on Wednesday.   That should be a trip and a half, considering on that day the weather guys are calling for ice.  Crutches/knee walker and ice just don't mix.  It should be a very interesting day.  I hope my family members don't kill each other (or me) out of frustration!
