healing but still accident prone or maybe just stupid

last friday i went under the knife.  still no capital letters.  (it is too hard to stretch my fingers to get caps)

 i was informed that i looked very mad when i was in the emergency room in my previous posting.  this time i was more ready for the picture so i could smile  (just as an aside, eva said that the last time she saw me looking that mad was right after we went canoeing and fell in right at the end and didn't take any dry clothes.  the other time was when we were stranded in toranto on our way back from paris and i thought this lady was going to get a seat and i thought we were there first)  maybe it was the drugs talking.  anyway, all went well and i have a plate in my arm.  i go back on the 18th and see the doctor.  i am off my pain meds during the day and actually drove across town to a meeting today and went out to buy groceries.  t REALLY miss sewing though.

 on the way home i asked bud to stop and get me a latte.  it was FANTASTIC.  i spent the weekend sleeping, reading a little and watching tv but mostly sleeping.  good drugs will do that to you. bud lent me one of his shirts so i even looked fairly presentable but maybe that was the drugs too.

NOW for the stupid part.  i have given up most of my diet pop drinks but i drink a lot of cold tea,  t have been making it in this juice container for a long time but sunday when i poured the boiling water in the container it burst open and created quite a mess.  i thought the container was just old so i tried it again today with a different container but i got the same results.  SO,  lesson learned, DO NOT pour very hot water in to a glass pitcher.  i am going to have to go looking for a new container.  meanwhile i am using a plastic pitcher.  the orst thing that could happen is i melt it.

GREAT NEWS   we have occupancy for leo's house.  we are going down on saturday to help complete the final paperwork.  it has been a long process but he now has a new place to live, back in the community with family.  i was hiping to get it done by the end of summer but before christmas is good too.  he will spend his first night there on friday.  NOW, i just have a few other things to get wrapped up like new beds and a water softener but we have time for that. this past year with leo has been a journey,
with its ups and downs but i am VERY thankful for our time together and the time we have been given for the future because of his treatment success.
blessings for a new year
