What are you doing right now?......

Sitting on the couch watching the aquarium after leaving the house with my wife for the first time in 5 days. We went to Costco (painful), a couple vitamin places looking for lemon bioflavonoids and CBD oil, and finally a burger spot we had wanted to try. I made it through the meal but had to retreat once the place got packed out. I was able to do a bit of leaf raking while enjoying the effects of the CBD. (Kind of felt like I took a Valium but not as synthetic feeling, if that make sense). So far a decent day.

 

Putting out some of my decorations❄️

 

My other half did it for me while I sleep

 

Wondering why I invited two families over for Christmas. When you have a halfway decent day you suddenly think you're invisible or something. At least I do. I get this feeling like I'm cured or something. My gf will handle the brunt of the entertaining. But still, I kinda wish I could take back those invitations.

I feel your pain. Trying to make plans for first of the year now...same dilemma.

 

I feel ya, Pupper. When my family of origin is around I wish I were invisible!

Would said families understand that you are recovering from serious surgery so the invites are void?

 

yes it was’I.love having people around me ,

 

Trying to decide which kind of cookies to bake tomorrow.

 

people more him I think

 

Making dinner, trying not to think about one more long work day tomorrow with the psychotic general public.

 

Resting. I baked cookies for nine hours today.

 

So what's the actual ratio there. 8 hours of Hallmark channel, 1 hour in the kitchen?

 

Pro tip, Pupper:

Don’t make light of the work that women do at Christmas to make the holidays special for their family.

 

Thinking the AVs might be working for me. Had what I thought was going to be a full scale attack today when my family was over for Xmas. I took my usual cocktail of Valium, meclizine and zofran and went to the bedroom for about an hour until the nastiness passed. I’ve had about 4 attacks since I started valacyclovir a month ago, each one being less severe than the previous.

 

Pupper, just for that comment, I dare YOU to pick out five cookie recipes and make them from start to finish. No help with anything, including cleanup, allowed! List must include, linzer, cut-out sugar, and meringue cookies! Good luck!
