Well, ok then....

I woke up this morning with a sinus headache that won't go away.  And I keep hearing these chiming sounds in the background.  At first I thought it may be my clock; but it only does it on the hour.  Then I thought that perhaps it is windy, and it is the wind chimes.  I finally opened the door to this room only to find that hubby is playing the cd player with some kind of chime music... which is irritating my head this morning.  Well, ok then.  He can listen to it; I just shut my door.  But it isn't helping my head any.   

I'm not doing too well today in getting things done.... I didn't want to get up; I turned my alarm off but hubby came in with my coffee at 4:20AM all perky cause he slept very well.  I slept very well too, but it's this stupid headache that annoys me.  I wanted to sleep a bit more.  Not that I could sleep .... but I just want to lie down.  In fact, it was so bad yesterday, while hubby was asleep in his chair yesterday, I laid down across the bed and slept 30 minutes!

Hubby did some of his Christmas shopping yesterday for me.  He wasn't gone too long.  When he got home he came in and said he had brought lunch.  So I go out and it is a Whataburger bag.  I always get the #7 as it is the junior hamburger, which is about all I can eat, small fries... and he got me a large chocolate shake!  Just what I needed.  So I sat down at the table and ate what I could. When I asked where his meal was, he said he had stopped at Popeye's for a 2 piece meal - getting me something was an afterthought after he had left.  Excuse me?  I'd rather had Popeyes!

And... I got my packages from my little sister yesterday; lots of gifts, for sure.  Probably much more than I will use... and I'll leave it at that.  It was full of nice gifts.  But I did get pajamas, and house shoes - but will ask a granddaughter if she can wear them - they are too small for me.  The shoes, not the pajamas.  She gave me a book too, and I started reading it last night and got about half way through it.  Interesting.

I am finished with everything, I think - well, except for making pickles and salsa.  Can't make the salsa until next week so that it will last longer.  I can make the pickles anytime, but took last night off.  If I'm up to it, will get it done this weekend.  I want to make eggs ole' next weekend - perhaps next Saturday, and give it to the two elderly neighbors I have - Ms. Vicki and Ms. Diane.  I'm worried about Ms. Diane... yesterday, in the middle of the day, all three of her children were there.  It always makes me nervous when it is in the middle of the week.  All three do come see her every weekend.  Her daughter is there every day - and the boys stop by frequently during the week.  I know she needs to go to an assisted living as her health isn't that good... but I would miss her.  I want to get over to see her, but she has to get up to let me in and I'm afraid she will fall.  So, now I wait until one of the kids are there... so will get over this weekend.  Ms. Diane wants me to have a key, and it would be easier for me to stop by and see her, but I won't ask the kids for one.  Who knows how long she will be staying there; her kids think she is winding down in life... and it could very well be.

You want to know what I wish?  Well, one of the things..... I wish my kids would tell me what they really want for Christmas so that I can try to get it for them.  I'm so afraid they will be disappointed this year.  Which reminds me... I still need to run to the grocery and see if I can find canned ham.  I looked last week and there was none.  Maybe I can find some decent ham at Costco.... haven't been there for awhile.. I don't like the crowds and I'm content to go to Sam's Club cause I love their 'scan and go' and don't have to stand in line. Hubby had to go to Costco the other day... he's without one hearing aid (again) for about a week - they have to replace it.  His warranty wears out soon... and that's scary.  Now he is fussing he wants the kind that automatically charge and not with the battery, which he frequently goes through.  So I turned to him yesterday and told him to start saving up his money; perhaps in a few months he can afford to buy them.  Ever hear a 'lead balloon' fall?  It did then.  

My head hurts, and need to jump in the shower so I'm stopping here... Sorry, nothing exciting to share today.  If my head wasn't hurting, I probably could think of something.  Maybe tomorrow!  Besides, if I get in the shower, maybe I won't hear the chimes of the CD.

Until then...

Blessings...
