Absolutely nothing! Since the last two snow storms and cold snap, I have become a shut-in. Haven't gone anywhere. Haven't done anything--not even in the house. I feed myself, or try to, and clean up the dishes. That's been about it.
I am currently nursing two toothaches in two broken teeth on both sides of my jaw (hence why I am "trying" to feed myself). I have a dentist appointment for Monday but I'm not sure what will happen. My sister called to tell me that I may need to inquire about being off blood thinners for a few days before the dentist would be willing to extract a tooth or two...but I would have to have that approved by my cardiologist. I called the dentist's office today to ask, but no one was there. In the meantime, I am taking Tylenol to manage the pain. For the most part, that works. Ugh!
I will have the grandchildren next weekend. Will drive to Muncie early on Saturday in order to watch their basketball games, then will get to bring them home for 24 hours. That will give me some motivation! I sent them Valentine cards a few days ago. Am still trying to determine how long it takes for the mail to get there. The last stuff I sent, one kid got hers the next day. The next package didn't arrive until a day later. Double ugh!
It looks like my daughter is fixing to get married. Because her betrothed's parents are in Russia and unable to attend, and because it would be unfair for me to attend without them and also without inviting her father, Megan is proposing an elopement. She asks me questions, but I'm not sure what she wants from me. Meg and I have always been close. Her actions over the last six months have sent me reeling, but right now, I only care about the children. I don't have any choice but to accept whatever course she takes right now.
I stayed up late last night to watch the opening ceremonies for the Olympics in Vancouver. It was after midnight--late for me--when they finally lit the cauldron...but guess what? I was STILL awake at 2:15 AM!!! What is up with my system that I wake up every stinkin' night at 2:15 no matter when I go to sleep?? I got up, did a bathroom thing, checked my email, and went back to bed for awhile. Later in the day, along about 1:30 PM, I snuggled up under the blankets and slept for two hours. Unheard of for me!
I stupidly looked at yesterday's published photos of the Olympic luge crash on the Internet. The dude that died, Nador, was dead instantly. I know they made it sound like he died at the hospital after they airlifted him, but I saw the pics. The poor guy was GONE instantly. I haven't had the heart to watch today.
Going to church tomorrow. It will help my loneliness. I need spring to come!!!!
