Sunny Day!

Loved the sun this morning, but I don't know where my energy went, but I guess it went down with the sun this afternoon.  Getting dressed and ready for the funeral this afternoon took all the energy out of me.
I took my new walker, and Bill was here to help me get my boots on.  First I had him help me get my right sock on, then tried to put my black dressy boots on, and because my right foot is swallon, we had to go to my Uggs, which meant taking off the socks.  Then he got me to the car and into it....to the funeral home just down the street, and then into the building.  All of this couldn't have been done without his help.  We got in, and other than the grand-kids of Don's, Bill was about the youngest one there.  All the immediate neighbors were in attendance, but it was a small crowd.  I'm used to 250 or more people at funerals.  But Don and Cherie both had small families   Don's son in-law got up and spoke during the ceremony, and he did a really great job.  I had never been to an evening funeral so this was a first for me.  I don't know how much longer the service went on, but after about 40 minutes, my body gave out, and I had Bill get the car and bring it to the door, and I took my walker and quietly left.  Wally had supplied me with a pillow which helped, but even though I took 2 break-out pills at 5 p.m., I planned on taking my 7 p.m. pill when the time came, but in the bottle their wasn't a 40 mg pill.  So I din't get to take it till I got home. I can't figure out what the pills were that were in there, but not what was supposed to be.  I'll have to work on getting that filled correctly.
When I got home I went directly to the couch, Bill covered me up, did some cleaning of my kitchen and emptied my dishwasher and reloaded it. He kissed me goodbye and left.  I woke up at 9:50 and turned the TV on and watched the news and Jay Leno, and then decided I better eat something and get this written.  Now it's time for me to go to bed....but I am feeling a little better. Love and Prayers, m
