The Sun is Gone!

But it will be shining bright when the Chicago Kiecker's arrive this evening. I'm so excited. Ooops! Tom just called and they won't be here till tomorrow around noon. Darn, but the store has been crazy busy, and Tom just doesn't feel good about leaving their part-time women without help for 3 days. So I guess I'll have to wait for that sun to shine another day.
Yesterday Bill came and helped empty out the back bedroom that was filled with presents, and he also helped me fix a few things. My closet door had fallen off the track and a ceiling light had burnt out, and I couldn't figure out how to get it off to replace the bulb. The door was definitely a two person job, and we both had to work to get it back in working order. They are floor to ceiling doors, really heavy, and hard to hold in place while the other screws it into place.
He also stayed and visited for a while. He is on vacation this week, so he had time to do that. While he was here, my friend Bonnie stopped in with some Christmas goodies that her friend Dave had made for me, Chokecherry jam, krumkaka and rosettes. Bill and I dug into the rosettes as soon as she walked out the door. They were really good, and something I made when the kids were little, but are so much work....I haven't made for ages. Thanks Dave.
Besides cleaning I worked on getting some more meds. On Tuesday I called to get a refill on a pain pill, and they gave me one less potent than I had, and it didn't work at all, and I didn't sleep all night, so yesterday I called and asked to get the med I had originally, and I can pick that one up today, but in the process of talking to the nurse and telling her about my restless leg syndrome and my neuropathy in my feet, she said the doctor had suggested I get a med especially for RLS, and I would need to call my GP for that. So I put in a call to HealthPartners and left a message for Dr. Norquist, and got a call this morning from his nurse. She says he would like me to come in and talk about taking this med before ordering it for me....so now I have an appointment for next Thursday to see him.
Hopefully all will be well. Maybe with that med for RLS, I won't need the pain meds. We'll see. I just want a good nights sleep.
Must get the bed made in the back bedroom, and start gathering things for the weekend at the cabin. I'll write again tomorrow. Love and prayers, m
