We made it!

We made it! No heart attacks happened, it came and went and went well. I got the things I needed at the last minute and even though it wasn't as much as they used to get, they didn't mind at all. Josh worked Christams Eve till 10 and went back in Christmas Day 3-10, so both nights Breanna and I went over to visit him for awhile, it was very hard not having him here. The kids other parents, across the road, came over Christmas Eve when Josh got off, so we could have our Christmas with them, they were here till about 12, I got to bed around 2 and Josh was the first one up, around 8. We opened pressies and relaxed a bit then were off to Doug's parents for dinner. Jeff, Kelly and Meagan came down after dinner for a visit.

No plans here for New Years, well I shouldn't say no plans, I think we are going to go to Bridgewater to see a movie, better than nothing. If Jeff and Kell had been staying till New Years we probably would have gone over to Alley 9 with them for awhile but they are leaving tomorrow so we aren't going out. Some friends want us to go to a dance but I have gained so much weight that I can't get my dress clothes on and I'm not planning to stay this size so I refuse to buy any new clothes. Except PJ's, I need to get a couple pair of jammies just in-case I have to stay in the hospital when I have surgery. I'm booked for day surgery but it depends on if they have to open me right up or do it with the little incisions. Just my luck he'd keep me and I only have 1 good pair of PJ pants.

Doug and I didn't exchange gifts this year so I got a new heating pad from my in-laws and a vibrating frog from Meikka, an Angel from my Aunt and then this morning I got up to a wonderful surprise, my big Sis bought me a Kindle, something I've wanted for the last year. I spend so much on books since there isn't much I can do. I can't wait to get it. I might not have much family but at times like this I know that I have the family I need. I love her very much and miss her enough to turn me in to a bawling mess at times.

Anyway, thought I'd better check in before you all thought I did have that heart attack and fall in the tree :) Times I thought I could, not from a heart attack but from pain, but I've got my eye on the prize, 2011 is going to be a year to get fixed up and move on and even though I know it's going to be hell, with my friends I know I will be well looked after, they know who they are and I hope they know how much I love them.
