I think I'll live!

I'm back to my normal sleeping pattern.  I was up at 0650 this morning.  A couple days last week it was an 0800 alarm clock that woke me.  Between the Tylenol and Zyrtec I was sleeping quite well.  My ear hasn't bothered me all day but my sinus on the right side is still annoying.  I'm ready for my body to get back to normal.

I don't think I mentioned it, but I managed to fall/slide out of bed one night.  Our bed is tall and I use a step to get in and out of it.  Well I managed to sit to close to the edge and missed the step , falling into the nightstand.  That sure woke me up!  I banged up my left arm and wrist catching myself.  That's looking pretty right now as the bruises fade.  Sunday I had another mishap and the skin on my right arm was sliced open.  My skin is very thin.  We immediately covered this with bandages and left them on until this evening.  

Did you know you can remove those sticky Band-Aids by dabbing oil on the part with the adhesive?  I looked it up because I really didn't want to remove more skin, not to mention the hair when we removed them.  Jim and I cleaned up these wounds and re-bandaged them with a waterproof plaster.  I can shower without getting them wet..

Oh I forgot to mention that somehow I managed to get a cut on my neck, just below the jawline.  I've no clue how that happened.

I'm so glad I had all these medical problems the last 10 days or so, maybe that will be it for the year...

Don't cha know it rained most of the day!  Started before 1000 and continued most of the afternoon.  Jim and I drove down to Crawfordville to have lunch with Sonsearae after she got off from work.  Lex and Roll Sushi and Thai is liked by all of us.  After lunch Sonsearae treated me to a pedicure also in Crawfordville.  Gem Nails is a very nice place and while we soak our feet we get to enjoy a glass of wine.  I feel so pampered. Our final stop before home was Starbucks

Family Time

 I think I'm about over this ear/sinus problem.  I've taken Tylenol to help with the pain the last 24-36 hours.  But no Zyrtec.  I slept very well last night.

We've not been out and about much since last Wednesday when we went to the Southwood Veterans Club meeting.  Not sure why we bother with eating there, nothing at the clubhouse tastes good.  But the drinks are good.

I've done my best to keep up with the dishes and laundry but my heart hasn't been in it.  Even now I need to make the bed with fresh sheets.  I also need to get some cleaning done

Today we enjoyed a Asian inspired meal with Sonsearae and Chris.  Our daughter does a remarkable job catering to all our likes and dislikes!  She prepared potstickers, chicken teriyaki, rice and a ramen noodle salad.  The salad had napa cabbage, edamame, carrots, peanuts, spring onion and cilantro with a soy/vinegar dressing.  

To top it off she made a berry cobbler that was served with vanilla ice cream.  Of course she sent home some food with us and we can enjoy the salad and teriyaki again.

Right on schedule a storm rolled through dumping tons of rain!  Same thing happened yesterday and the day before
