The best news is that I'm beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel as far as my back goes. I'm still stretching and wearing heat wraps, but it's becoming easier and easier to move as each day passes. Whew, thank goodness!!! Thanks to all of you for your well wishes.
But don't worry, I'll still be taking it easy over the weekend!! ...lots of rest!!
Not a lot to talk about since my life has been so boring as of late. I've just been trying to get through the workday and then rest at night to help my back.
I invited son and his wife to lunch this weekend (yes, that's another huge step for me, I think), but as it turns out, she has to work 9 1/2 hours on Saturday, and he has to work on Sunday. So I don't know. I'll just keep trying, I suppose. We took the traditional "New Year's Day dinner" to them on January 1st. (It's a strange mix of Irish and Southern foods. We always have corned beef and cabbage, greens, and black-eyed peas for a prosperous and healthy new year.) They both loved it and went on and on about it. Haven't done much with them since. Son doesn't even go to poker with hubby as much since he started his new job. But we try to stay in touch on the phone almost every day.
My family, as am I, are getting excited about my trip next month to see them all. My mom said that my sister has promised she'll come from Tennessee to see me, as well! (I'm starting to see another family reunion shaping up!) But that's okay. It's nice to get to see everyone all at once...
What a busy month is February?!! Don't forget that tomorrow is Groundhog Day!! I'm hoping for an early spring, but not if it means that summer will be early, too!! ;D (Summer can be brutal here...) For those of you interested, the Super Bowl is Sunday, February 3rd! (Neither of my teams are going, but I do love the commercials!!) Then February 5 is Fat Tuesday and Mardi Gras! February 6 is Ash Wednesday (and the first day of Lent). February 7 is the first day of the Chinese New Year. This year is the year of the rat! And who can forget Valentine's Day on February 14th?!! AND it's a leap year this month, so we even get an extra day to celebrate!! Sounds like we have LOTS of good reasons to celebrate this month....
;D
Well, I hope you all have a fun, relaxing, peaceful weekend!

Have a great weekend!!! Enjoy the game on Sunday - I'll be watching too :)
I hope you enjoy the weekend! It sounds like things are going pretty well lately. I'm glad to hear that.
:) I hope you can get time with the kids soon.
I'll be watching. We're not having a big party but every year I make a big pot of chili and a huge pan of cornbread.
I hurt my back / shoulder a couple of weeks ago making the bed, if you can believe that. I feel your pain girl. I'm on a heating pad off and on all day.
Take care and have a great weekend!
have a good weekend, take care of that back and maybe just you & the hubby could go out for lunch ;)
