Christmas 2014

Hope every one has a safe and happy Merry Christmas.

I spent the morning with my nieces and nephew. My sweet tooth was raving and my niece gave me some of her lemon yogurt cookies. They were the bomb! Went so nice with my tea. I am still sick, with a damn cough that is making me feel miserable and when I went back upstairs, I got a migraine. Lovely thing to wake up to. I have been up since 0445. Woke up to back pain. So my day isn’t going like I wanted it to. But I am looking forward to my Christmas meal.

I didn’t write a blog yesterday. I had a case of the sleepies. I just have been so tired lately all I want to do is sleep. For some reason, I have been waking up before 0600 the past few days and I guess the sleep deprivation has caught up with me.

I need to call my cousin and thank her for my birthday and Christmas card gifts. I also need to go to Walgreens sometime today and get more Nyquil and Advil. I forgot to get those items when I went to CVS yesterday.

Think I will take a shower and then go to the store. It is warm out. The first time in a long time it is 60 degrees for Christmas. It is going to be warm the next few days, which is really odd for December. But I will take it, better than snow.

My sister gave me Lady Antebellum’s latest CD. I love it. And it has a song that clicks with my therapist and I. I can’t wait to give her the lyrics. I plan on writing her a letter while she is away. I do this every vacation. It helps to write while she is away because I miss her so much. I still haven’t heard any word on when my pdoc will be back in the office. I really, really miss her. This is the longest absence we have had since her maternity leave, and that was 20 years ago! We have been communicating via email but it isn’t the same. I wish I could talk to her. I miss her so very much.

There was a gentleman on the train last week that was reading a book on the Civil War. The print was too small for me to get the author but I memorized the cover, and tried in vain, to find it on Amazon. After using different title searches and looking through more than ten pages of books, I found it. It belongs in a volume and costs like $100. I so want this. I am going to try and save some money over the next few months to get it. It is funny because the day before, I swore I wasn’t going to buy anymore books as I have several that are waiting to be read, in addition to those that I have started. There is a Civil War book that I am reading now but it is so damn slow. It took me 276 pages just to get to the year 1860 and another hundred pages to get to the start of the war and the start of Lincoln’s presidency. Just for the year 1861 was about 150 pages. I am going crazy with this book. If I had known they were going to draw out the time, I probably would not have purchased it. I bought it because I thought it detailed the Civil War battles, which it does, though the North and South called the same battle different names, so it can be a little confusing.

I still need to do my review of the book, “Managing Suicidal Risk”. I plan on doing that next week as the only appointment I have is for PT and then I am free to do whatever I want. I got my Starbucks money again, and that should last me a while. I can’t wait to sit in Starbucks for a couple of hours again. I miss being out.
