As every morning, I took my pill at 7 a.m. and went to the couch. Annie work me a little before 9 as she and Doug came to get some work done before they left for Little Falls and their huge craft fair. They hoped to get out of here by 10 a.m. and they made it just a few minutes after that.
She did my one load of wash I needed done so I can pack for my trip. That's my plan for the day. We met yesterday and planned what time we wanted to leave and what we wanted to do on the way up to Gooseberry tomorrow. Toby's is the first must stop....we'll have brunch there, and then head toward Duluth and probably down to Canal Park and the lift bridge area. We can't check into the hotel till 4:30, so we have plenty of time to mess around. It's only about 45 minutes to the Lodge from Duluth, cause we are just on the other side of Two Harbors. I need to call Judy today and let her in on the plans so she can be here in time in the morning.
I have a few other calls I have to make today, but other than packing I don't have any big plans....may find someone to go to the church Fall Festival and have their dinner. That's about as far as I want to walk....but I might make the Bingo tent too!
Last night we had dinner at Bill and Kim's for Tommy's Birthday. They set up a large Pasta Bar with 3 different kinds of pasta for the red sauce and meatballs or Alfredo sauce, plus they had a penne pasta with pesto and scrimp, Cesar salad, garlic bread and lots of dessert. The birthday cake was a large chocolate chip cookie instead of actual cake. So then they had the choice of sugar cookie, the chocolate chip cookie cake and vanilla or mint chocolate chip ice cream. After being stuffed we spent the evening visiting and watching the Twins game. We didn't get home till a little after 10 and watched the end of the news and of course Jay Leno and during Jimmy Fallon I decided I was going to bed before I feel asleep and woke up and had to stumble to bed.
It was fun hearing about the grandkids first week of school, especially Matthew, who had made it through 4 days in a row (and he let you know that) but the first two days he proclaimed the best days of his life. I asked what was his favorite thing at school and of course it was recess, and I asked him why, and he said he got to run around the track, and play and chitchat with the other kids. But running the track was his favorite thing....he thought once around the track was a mile, but I tried to explain to him that you had to run around the track 4 times to make it a mile and so now he's only saying he runs 1/2 mile....still wrong, but he'll figure it out sooner or later.
I also found out this week I have another runner in the family. Kennedy has joined the cross country team at her school in Naperville, and came in 13th in her first meet. Sounds pretty good to me.
I continue to do well on this higher dose of Oxycontin, and I'm not taking my Simvistatin cause it seems to be better without it (the leg cramping) but I'll talk to the pain doctor about it when I see her on Wednesday when we get back.
So that's it for the day! Love and Prayers, m
