I made my New Year's resolutions on my birthday so I do not have to worry about it today! Resolutions always seem to be the same - focus on physical health, mental health and emotional health. But, as always, unfortunately, I have a lot to work on! Ha, ha!
Physically speaking, I am having some issues - intense pain in my right foot. I went to the orthopedist (saw the PA) and she told me I have plantar fascitis. Prescription: Take aleve, get some heel cookies (which no one knew what they were) and use my boot to sleep in. Oh yeah, rest it! Rest isn't an option, heel cookies don't exist, the boot is great to sleep in if I am not having hot flashes and aleve, well aleve is troublesome on a daily basis. I have decided to wear the boot all the time when I am at home and I guess when I am sleeping. The pain is intense and it is starting to affect my mental attitude.
Went to a friend's home for dinner and New Year's celebration last night. It was a lot of fun. This morning we went to another friend's home for the third annual "hangover brunch." That too was a lot of fun. We have some good friends in our neighborhood and have been having a lot of fun with them.
Holidays were crazy. I felt like I was soooooo busy from the week before Thanksgiving through, well, today! I went to Texas before Thanksgiving to drive with mom back here and to see Dad...Dad and I got to have lunch together - I had hoped to go up to the country but he had just come home from there after meeting Lowry, et al. Funny thing - the weekend after I was in town he went back to the country! Mom and I drove back to Atlanta on the Sunday before Thanksgiving. She stayed through November 30...that makes 13 days with my Mom. We spent the week cooking, cleaning, cooking, cleaning and running errands. We drove back on November 30 and I spent two more days in Texas then flew home.
Started to deholiday the house yesterday...only have to finish taking the tree down. It's the last year for this tree - we have had it since we moved to Arizona in 1995. The top was falling apart. And, the thing just smelled musty.
Just got back from taking Andy to the airport. He is flying back to Minneapolis today. Sad to see him go. I am crossing my fingers for him this semester. Kid is really smart but doesn't have the grades to back it up...good thoughts. I know he can do it.
