New Years came and went in the usual quiet manner. I stayed up long enough to welcome the new year in the front door and let the old year out the back then I went to bed. Not big on partying on the Eve, me. The actual day was equally quiet, so much so I cannot remember what I did.
After that the project of putting away the Christmas decorations. 99% of them are away. I still have the stuff that is stored in the basement to be put in the basement. I also have not taken down the veranda stuff. That will happen, its just taking time. I have sorted and reorganized the storage containers and I have all but one under the stairs. I used to have three containers that did not fit under the stairs but I am down to one. I am happy about that.
I have decided that I have to give up my big tree because I cannot decorate it anymore. I have someone who will buy it from me and a back up person in case this deal falls through. I am sad to see it go but I will get a 6 foot tree which I can decorate and that is the most important thing. So, good by beloved tree.
I am on January 16th on my purge project. Its getting harder because I am getting up into the higher numbers. Its coming along though. I am also tackling my left over yarn stash. So far I am on afghan number three and I am almost to the bottom of the second yarn container. I am very happy about this. It gives me something mindless to do, someone will benefit from it and I get some excess out of the house. Win, Win, Win I think.
Then I got sick. I won't go into all the ugly embarrassing details but I got an infection. It threatened to restart the cellulitis so I hiked myself off to the doctor asap. I ended up with this
I get to come here again for five days, three times a day
I get IV antibiotics for five days. Its all done now and I am on the same medication but on pill form for 7 more days. Infections kick the stuffing out of me. If I am not at the hospital for my meds I am asleep or wishing I was asleep because I have no will to do much of anything. I did get some bragging rights as they had great fun changing the IV in my arm. Five tries before they got it in'
I used to be easy to get a needle into but I guess as you age this becomes harder to do. Its all finihed now so I am happy about that. The bruising will fade
I am still oh so tired and severely lacking in any energy, with luck I get one thing done in the day besides crochet and sleep. The Banker was kind enough to drive me each time to get my medication. I swear that woman is a saint!! I was fed up with it and I had to be there. She volunteered to do this for me. Bless my friends, I don't deserve you but I am so blessed to have you.
So this is all I have for the moment. I will try to get back to the once a week thing again so the one or two people who read this know what is happening in my world.
I am going to go lay down. Big surprise its nap time!!
Toodles
