Welcome Aiden!

My nephew Aiden joined the family today about 5:15 am. He was scheduled for a Dec 1st c-section arrival, but decided to put in an early appearance.

Son to Lee and Jessica
Brother to Katie Beth

I hope to see him soon. I was so sick I thought I was going to go to the ER and of course I didn't want to expose any of them if I were contagious. That and the fact that I couldn't walk more than 2 or 3 steps before I needed to sit down.

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving to all.

My friend Leona-from-Arizona, her daughter Nadine and her mother Jean came for a visit. I haven't seen her in about a year and a half, so I really enjoyed getting to spend several hours with her. I'd never met her mom or her daughter, so that was fun.


We decided to be a little silly and the leaves just looked like they needed to be stirred up a bit.


You know you've got great friends when you go buy some fresh pork skins and they dig in with you and enjoy them as much as you do. It was Nadine's first time trying them, but she enjoyed them.

Lazy day

I've been nothing but lazy today. My left leg has been slightly numb all day. I read it might be one of the after effects of the injection I had yesterday.

$1.71

Forgot to post yesterday that gas was $1.71 at the new gas station. They were having their grand opening, so I think that is probably why it was so much lower than everyone else's $1.94 - $1.99. Lines were long, and we were short on time, so we bypassed that station and paid $1.99 at the next station.

Much better

I am much better this morning. About midnight last night, I was frustrated, I'd been in pain for hours, couldn't get comfortable, etc.

Ouchie!

I had the first of two spinal injections for my back today. Ouchie! They said it would get worse before it got better, and man are they right! I can't get comfortable, and I hurt. I've been home for about 6 hours now and I can't decide whether to sit, stand, lie down, pace or what.

My next injection is scheduled for the 25th.
