Raise your hand if you are freezing!
I know I am. This will be our fourth night of teens, I think, and we live in the SOUTH! How do you northerners make it?!?!? Seriously! I do not do well in any numbers under 40. In this cold, my bones feel like ice cold metal poles inside my body, and I can feel every single one of them. I was not made for cold. Nope.
To add to my misery, since I am sharing, I am also nursing what I think could be a cracked rib. Saturday, I was taking laundry downstairs, and my right foot caught in the left leg of my pajama pants. Well, the laundry went flying and so did the MeMom. From the kitchen door three steps down to the floor I went, but before I stopped I had hit the rocking chair arm with my ribcage.
Pretty solid chair.
Broke the arm off.
My poor cat had no idea what was going on. His back was arched high, and he was on tipclaws!
I laughed at him, and it hurt to laugh. I am currently several shades of black, blue, purple, yellow, and green all down my left arm, side, and leg. It hurts to cough, sneeze, laugh, and breathe in the cold. It hurts to put a shirt on, too, but I tough it out on that one.
Lifting a spoon is like lifting a boat anchor. When I was fixing my hair this morning, I made the mistake of lifting too high, and a pain shot through me that made me have to sit down, because I got nauseated. So, I figure something in there is cracked. I'm kind of a mess in my old age, aren't I?
Anyway, I am sure I am quite the sight going out in the morning, cold, hobbling, and putting everything in the car one-handed.
Good thing it's dark and no one can see me.
Anyway, my poor, very busy girl, Jill, is going to try to get a whole whopping load of pictures up for me to finish out our last little bit of July, and then we're going to move on to orange and black in the midst of red and green season. I hope she can get it done before she leaves for KY, but she has to cook for a staff meeting tonight and have that staff meeting tomorrow night, then go to Kentucky Friday.
All of you lucky folks who are going to Disney World soon -
for you! Send back and bring back lots of pictures!
To our 'old' pals, we are so glad to have you join us on another Disney adventure.
To our new friends, we are
thrilled that you would read us and actually voluntarily join in.
Please make yourself completely comfortable, because that's the way we always want it.
So glad to hear of people that are healing among our group. Also, little Caleb got to come home today. He will be doing his therapy at Vanderbilt. Bill, the motorcycle wreck victim, is showing signs of movement, albeit slowly. He is in Atlanta now, and he is still on a respirator. He has, unfortunately, had heart distress in all of this, so they are worried about that. Cherokeemomma has a friend who is going to begin cancer treatments. She's a single mom with two kids, so you know she will have many needs. We can keep all these people in our thoughts, and I am sure they will feel comfort in knowing there are those who care about their circumstances.
Jill said she apologized for the brief introduction, but it is all she had time for. She'll add more when she gets a minute to breathe. Thanks for joining us, everyone!
