Day One

Friday night was splendid!  I went to supper with Kyra, it was yummy, we had Mexican.  Then I headed out to the Peacock and met up with the girls.  It was a blast.  We laughed and laughed.  Bill showed up for a bit, my brother was there with all his friends.  It was just a simple night out, but totally fun!!! 

Yesterday I was kinda hungover.  My tummy just wasn't right.  I visited Grandma Trone and then came home and we worked on Coles pinewood derby car and then had a nice supper.  I made steaks and baked taters and mixed veggies.  The steak was super yummy.  We haven't had a good steak since summer.  We all went to bed by 10 it was an early night for us all.

Today I took the boys to church.  Bill and I met up at the new house with the guys we are thinking of hiring to do the plaster work and some electrical stuff for us.  The good news is the kitchen has some tile on the walls that I was afraid to remove because I didn't want to get into a major problem if the tile ripped plaster off, but these guys are going to remove the tile, and fix the walls!  I am so happy and excited for all the stuff they said they will do.  Now I got some major shopping to do after this surgery!  Another great news bit today was the dining room floor is hardwood, we pulled up some of the carpet to look, and it looks AMAZING!!  This makes me soooo happy so that we can leave it hardwood!  I love that!  Now we will have enough money in my "budget" for me to get the congolenum floor I want for the kitchen!!  YES YES YES!!!
I am feeling so happy about the planning we did today.  It all just seems to flow well with the plans we already had.  It looks like we will be moving in sooner than we thought if they work as fast as they say they do!  They think they will be done with everything that we talked about with in a weeks time.  Then we will have to pint, hang a few cabinets, install the kitchen cabinets and go from there. 

Today is day one of my clear liquid diet.  It's not too bad, but the protein drinks are just awful.  They taste horrible.  They smell even worse.  This is going to be a long 5 days of choking this crap down.  I will be happy when I get to the point I can just eat a protein bar, and get enough protein in for the day.  Ugh.   I don't know how those bodybuilders do it.  This about gags me.  I just have to choke it down fast.  Which is okay now, but after surgery I will NEVER be able to drink that fast so it will really be a challenge then.  Gross. 

I hope these 5 days go by fast.  I am just not a huge jello or broth fan.  They both kinda gag me!  That's about the only thing I can have besides water and tea.  This too shall pass...

Sounds like we are in for a heck of a snowstorm.  I hope we don't get as much as they say we will... it sounds crazy!

I better get off here and get these boys fed.  Monday will be here before we know it and it's back to school for Cole!
