Happy New Year! Is it too late to wish
you that? I sincerely hope those I love and care about have a
healthy, happy and prosperous 2015. I see I haven't blogged since
last Monday, whaaaaat?! Better get you all caught up.
Last Tuesday we took Colby swimming,
and again, we were the only ones in the pool. Sweet. That way we
really don't have to worry about germs. As for Wednesday, New Year's
Eve, during the day I ran some errands. Then Colby needed his trach
changed and had to have his port flushed. He's such a busy boy. My
friend Kim, her boyfriend and their doggie son (Kizmo) took Colby and
me to Lights Under Louisville. It was awesome, just like last year. I
had a headache coming on throughout the day. As the day went on, it
got worse and worse. I got Colby to bed at 10:00 and I followed at
10:15. We really partied to bring in the new year, huh? I took an
Imitrex, a melatonin and rubbed lavender essential oil on my wrists
to help me sleep. Not sure why, but the headache hung on for 3 days.
I was pretty stinking miserable. Better now, and so thankful for
that.
After coming over on New Year's Eve,
Kim offered to come over on New Year's day and help me clean. Ha!
Yes, it was bad. Lots of clutter, dust, more clutter. My brother and
his family were coming down Saturday. Not that the apartment had to
be spotless for a family visit, but wow, it needed some attention for
sure. Which it got. I straightened up before she got here, and we
cleaned for two solid hours. And, as an added bonus, she took home my
laundry and did it. Do my friends love me or what?! I mean really,
who does that for someone? My friends, that's who!! I have sweet,
wonderful friends and would be so lost without them.
Saturday my brother, sister-in-law,
nephew and niece came down for the day. Sort of a post holiday get
together. We had a great time. Sent the guys out to pick up some
pizza and bread sticks. Colby got a bingo cage and cards for
Christmas, so we played a couple of games of that. Colby was
impressing them all with his eye gaze skills. He's such a showoff.
And yes, I put them to work, too. The guys took down my outside
Christmas lights. There were only two strands. The gals helped me get
the ornaments off the tree. Now I just have to find a bag for the
tree since the tree box got wet through the year.
Today we had a great day. The Colts
won, woot woot! A friend of mine brought her daughter and sweet new
grandbaby over for a visit. I couldn't wait for Colby to meet
Caroline. She's such a peanut, not even 3 months old! We don't have
any babies in our family. Colby was quite smitten with her. We put
him in bed and tucked Caroline up under his arm. It was a precious
photo op for sure. Hope they can come over and visit again soon.
Ok, that's it. Our week in a nutshell.
Colby goes back to school tomorrow. I'm not ready. NOT ready. I want
another week with him. And of course it's supposed to get bitterly
cold this week. Splendid. Got to run. Downton Abbey season premiere
is on. Then tuck in boy with some Harry Potter. More soon.
