So, my sister tells me that it is December now. I am in total denial. I do have a tree in my living room thanks to my family who put it up in hopes that I would find the decorations. I also managed to make someone else's cards but not my own just yet. That is really just silly since I paid a mint for the darling picture in September. Well, it wasn't exactly a mint but enough for some of my friends to make fun of me and question my spending habits. I do have a few presents thanks to my sister who took me shopping at her request. Of course, they don't have any actual wrapping paper on them just yet but we have plenty of time left for that.
Last week, we had a designated holiday at our house. I declared it to be Get Your Life in Order Day. It went on for three days and things are still about the same. It isn't really that we are out of order all the time but we get one thing handled and a new thing seems to take its place.
Yesterday, I got a shiny, new oxygen machine. There are better presents in the world but if you spend a few days with a machine that beeps at you for no obvious reason, it is a relief to get a new one. I determined that I must not be on top of my game when I decided not to do something fun with my friends on the weekend. I could just use one less thing to do even if it is something fun. I also took it as a sign when my mom aborted our original plans yesterday so I could go back to the comfort of my couch. I never said anything so I must not have looked so great.
It could be said that our house is a little blue. I do like the color blue but not actually being blue. We are wrapping up a few projects which should help my color perk up a little and I have lost my sporty Sea Bands so that is promising. Of course, some rotten pleurisy has come to visit and the best word to describe that is just mean. It arrives without warning and hangs around at inconvenient times.
Tonight is my daughter's dance recital so I imagine that will help my holiday spirit get back in shape. My daughter convinced me that we really needed the new holiday dress with the fur on the bottom and the end of the sleeves since we already had the matching tights. I have to admit that it is darling but my dog thinks she is carrying around a bunny and he is not at all fond of it.
Today I am thankful for my dear friend who sent me home some yummy dinner to eat next week and a new book to keep me distracted. I am thankful that she is a good cook and a little disappointed that the dinner is already eaten. I am also really grateful to some of my friends who gathered together to help have a fun party for our friends who are heading out on their next adventure. I am very relieved to have two days free of going to school and answering questions about when they will be back. As usual, I am thankful for my wise doctor who keeps me on the straight and narrow and reminds me that it might not be the best idea to run away to France. Lastly, I am thankful for my dear husband who is just one day shy of managing to survive ten years of dealing with me in his life. He claims it was a lot less interesting and I imagine a lot less complicated before he met me.
Blessings,
Cindy
