I got up twice for a sip of water, but went right back to sleep. And to prove that I do have some kind of 'something', I slept until the 3:15 alarm went off! That's a rare thing. :yes::
Hopefully a long good night's sleep will clear you up
. Here's to a better day, Memom!!
The gunky eyes have been traded in for sniffles. I'll take that. Headache is dull in comparison to yesterday, so I think I am good to face the day.
Oh yes I am grabbing the tissues when I got to the parts I bolded.
I do remember being glued to Facebook ( I am not normally) and checking in often for any update, and sending all the good thoughts and prayers I could.
The Oct trip will always be special of what it took to get there as well as all the memories that were made on site.
It was nice to have the social media at that time. Like you, I don't stay on FB. I scroll through in the morning to see if anything exciting happened overnight - like one of Jill's friends had a new baby boy yesterday, so that was sweet to see. I check in in the evening, too, and sometimes I will have conversations by FB private message, as it is easier than doing so by my cheap phone. I enjoy FB for keeping up, but I am a little puzzled when people say they are 'taking a break' from FB. That indicates to me that they are on it for many hours, and I guess I just don't understand what you could do on FB for hours. Maybe play the games? I don't do those, so that's not a factor for me.
It was a thrill that Jill could be in WDW for this particular birthday!
Oh, it was an exciting day in Kansas.
We started out with taking the car in for an oil change and tire rotation, then finding out that we needed new wipers. That appointment was at 7 am.
Next we stopped for breakfast.
We headed home and Marc went and did an energy audit on one school, I did some laundry and worked out.
Later in the afternoon we ran a couple of errands and now I'm sitting here watching The Bachelor.
See?
Big day!
There is much to be said for ordinary days.
I think it is about time for an oil change and tire rotation for my car, too.
sure, make me cry with the first update
Promise only happy tears from this point on OK??
Hope you are feeling better, sounds like a sick day well spent!
Happy tears only - gotcha.
It was a good choice to stay home. It seemed long, even at home, so I know it would have seemed neverending if I had been in the workshop.
I went to Dunkin donuts for iced tea, BJ's and cleaned the kitchen.
Then, Justin had tennis, Jerry did the cover letter for the Lions Club high school scholarship application and I went to the Y. Boston Market for dinner.
I watched the artist and the guys watched October sky on Netflix.
Pretty darn close to a regular Monday, except Jerry and Justin were home
So nice to have your family at home.
Yep, I was tearing up too!!! I'm glad Jill is totally back to normal now!!
Hope you are feeling better.
She is 'healthy as a horse', as they say, and happier than ever.
Sophie is crazy about her Mommy and gives her a lot to smile about!
I was crying while reading such touching and moving words you wrote about Jill.
(I often tear up thinking about what life would be like if I lost Aaron, Lexi or my DMom or if they lost me.) Too awful to imagine.
Thanks for reminding me to be more grateful and not sweat the small stuff.
Glad God's plan was to keep Jill here with her family & friends.
Just like the magic in your TR's seem to do....my sadness switched to joy as I watched the "getting Bella's hair done" pic.
I can feel the excitement of arrival day and I can put myself in the pics!
Especially the airport ones...I should take some next trip cause they totally make me smile.
Great location at POP. I'm sure it was nice having a shorter walk to the bus.
Sophie looks so precious in that pink hat. I bet she grows up to love Disney as we all do.
Hope you are feeling better tomorrow.
I was happy to have today off as well.
Our holiday is called "Family Day" and we enjoyed just hanging out together. (minus my son as he had to go hang out with his friends who just got back from vacation.)
No big outings were planned as almost everything is closed here.
We had a yummy brunch and played some Disney board games from our collection.
I would love to get a room full of my DIS friends and try to play Disney Headbandz....that game is hilarious and harder than it looks.
Wonder how well you would do?
Sleep tight!
DIStown Community Hall will be filled with fun games.
I looked at the Headbanz game for Brooklynn for Christmas, actually, but I didn't get it, as I had already gotten the girls too much. As it was, I held back two Christmas items, and they just became Valentine's Day gifts this past weekend.
I have never been one to sweat the small stuff. Really, there is not a lot that upsets me. I hate to misplace things, and I get aggravated at
myself when I can't find something I know I have. I rarely get upset with other people or circumstances. With people, we never know what their backstory is and why they are acting like they are, so I try to be very understanding and forgiving. I don't know, it's just hard for me to get stressed about things, for the most part. I get a little stressed about paperwork and school deadlines, but I think I do fairly well on keeping a 'chilled' frame of mind.
MCO is the best airport in the world, as far as I am concerned!
So glad you had a nice Family Day. We need more of those!
