so let me be selfish today...

I am lonesome this AM

yes up already and missing HOBL.

Now I know to some of you, this may not make sense.

Our whole marriage, he has gone away to work.

I have verbally said often that he and I being

separated for half our marriage has been the

saving grace.

Yet, as I get older, I don't like it so much.

It isn't like we do much when he is here.

Life is easier when he is here.

He gets me, he understands me,

and the days are long when he isn't around.

He does those things that have become complicated for me

like mopping.

I like to watch him with his little pups.

Gives me a chance to see a part of him that

I had never seen before.

So he heads back to Alaska today already

to the below temperatures that I can't even think about.

As for me, today is a good day,

a good nights sleep,

have been off all pain medications except for

Motrin here and there.

Does this mean that ol' auntie Lil is mended.

Well, not quite.

I am much better than I was before the surgery.

Some days I think I am all better

and sometimes my bones remind me that

aches and pains will be part of me.

I am looking forward to going back to the doctor

on the 1st of February to see just how

the CT scan shows us what is.

Today BG and I head to an 11 am show to see

BLACK SWAN.

She says I have to see it!

Have a good one, peeps!
