I have slept more in the past few days than I normally do in a few weeks! Even though I am waking up just to go to the bathroom and get a drink a few times a night, a I am having no trouble going straight back to sleep. I'd love to see a log of my sleep this week in comparison to my normal sleep.
My stomach feels better this morning. Probably as the pain pills get fewer, it will get better. I don't feel like I need one at all this morning, so this could be the big day when everything starts to really change for the better. I one-crutched it to the kitchen to fill my water bottle. The pain is more localized just around the knee now and not the whole or part of the leg.
We are looking forward to company today. Our friend, Kay, is coming this morning and bringing her granddaughter to play with Brooklynn for a while. I have only seen her granddaughter once when she was just months old. I'm not exactly sure how old she is now, but she's old enough to like Ariel, Kay said, so she and Brooklynn should get along just fine!
Also, one of our cousins who will be in WDW in October is coming over to bring a casserole. I told her we were fine, but she insisted on a casserole, and of course it will be eaten and enjoyed.
If the day goes really well, we might try to even get out for a ride and possibly run (well, you know...hobble) into the
Disney Store. We'll decide on that later today.
Since I am awake and no one else is (except the cat, who I can hear nibbling on some crunchy Iams) I will get some pictures up for us to enjoy this lovely Saturday morning!
********************************
July 27th found us at Epcot, with plans to, at some time during the day, save the world!
Jill explains what the procedure is going to be to Brooklynn.
Jill is going to go for Soarin' Fastpasses, and the rest of us are going to meet her at Character Connection.
After the morning festivities, the rope dropped, Jill went on to Soarin', and the rest of us took our spot in Character Connection, as planned.
We hung back a little and let some families get in front of us until Jill returned.
Then it was time to see our familiar friends.
Master Mickey.
This was new to Bella, but would and will become 'old hat' very quickly.
Pluto.
Miss Minnie. One of my personal favorites, cuz she's just always so sweet!
Bella checks out Minnie's face, while Brooklynn checks out her stylin' yellow shoes.
Good old Donald.
Goofy was surprised to hear the Brooklynn had brought along her new sister.
Bella was saying, "My, what big ears you have!"
Outside in the hallways, Belle was an extra added bonus.
Then Brooklynn leads the way to her favorite ride in Epcot.
Bella fell asleep on the ride.
Friendly advice from our shark friends on how not to become their food!
Coming soon: Turtle Talk with Crush.
