*sigh*
The doctor is decreasing the Prednisone starting today. I have 3 proceedures coming up over the next few months and need to be off of it. I’m glad that (hopefully) I’ll be off of it in a month, but dread how I’m going to feel. Atleast this time I know what to expect. I walked for an hour today and will be doing the same the next two days. Keeping my fingers crossed for feeling good on Sunday. Picked up our Disneyland tickets today for Sunday. Weather is suppose to be great-I’m excited just to be going again. its been atleast 15 years since I’ve been there with both the boys at the same time. Matt’s girlfriend is going with us. They blow so hot and cold. Now its more complicated with her being pregnant. Since he is living at home and she is basically living with us in this small house, I feel that I have an unwanted front seat to their relationship ups and downs and I get a little weary of it at times. But its officially birthday week time so I’m only focusing on good and happy things.
Thinking about venturing out to the movies tomorrow. So much I want to see! I also need to find out when the tickets go on sale for the AMC Movie Showcase where they show all the movies nominated for Best Picture. If you had to ask me right now-Movie Showcase or Disneyland-I honestly am not sure which I’d choose, I dearly love them both.
Leon the Maine Coon cat went for his yearly check up yesterday and weighed in at 19.5 pounds-told him if times were tough come Thanksgiving, he could probably feed the 3 of us just fine. Fortunately he is very healthy. When we took my beloved Neko in, she ended up having to have 10 teeth pulled the day before Thanksgiving! When Matt moved back in, he brought his 1/2 pug, 1/2 poodle, Buk, with him. The dog has got the most marvelous underbite which we all imitate. He has become my walking buddy. Its nice to have a dog around again.
Sam came home from Anaheim. He got to meet and spend time with the old guitarist from the band, Poison. Sam is a huge admirer of his. He and his friends are going to see Van Halen in June. Matt and I laughed and said good luck with that. Make sure you can get a refund if the band starts fighting and break up before they get here. For Sam’s sake, I hope he does get to see them. He thinks David Lee Roth is the world’s best frontman. Me? I’m a Motley Crue kind of girl.
The boys laugh when they look at my iPod. Taylor Swift, 80′s music, Wu Tang Clan, I’m just sort of all over the radar with my music. And yes, I’m proud to be a 53 year old little monster and am a huge fan of Lady Gaga!
My “to do” list today is huge and includes setting up a coffee maker for the boys who are coffee drinkers. Beats them spending money on coffee every morning. However, I’m in totally foreign territory-I’m a tea drinker for life. It amazes me that, even though I don’t work, there is a ton of stuff around here for me to do on a daily basis to keep the house going. But when I realize that six months ago my “to do” list was basically lay in a hospital bed in the livingroom and use a bed pan, I’m not kidding when I say I enjoy doing laundry, cleaning, cooking, etc.
Off to see who will win, Mr. Coffee machine or me. Why couldn’t they be tea drinkers????
