Chewlee, the Pregnant Princess and a friend came by today for a short visit. Chewlee wanted her letter that she got from my friend, Carol. She is the one that lives in San Francisco area. She read all her stickers that were on the outside and thought they were cute then she opened up the letter. When she saw it was written and not printed, she asked me to read it to her. She asked me what the surprise was that Carol mentioned but I told her that if I told her what it was, it wouldn't be a surprise. She just looked at me while she thought that over and said, *But Grandma...I can't wait. You can tell me and it will still be a surprise.* I told her NO and not to ask me again and she just said ok to that.
I turned on cartoons for her and she got two pickles, one of which her mother took a big bite out of and Chewlee protested but it got her nowhere. Then I gave Chewlee two necklaces that Carol had included in her package that I got today that will end up at Raven's if she is still making her jewelry with things like it. I believe she is so am not really worried about it being wasted.
Anyway, the two beaded necklaces that Chewlee took she just loved. She likes having jewelry she can wear like her mother wears. She then selected two necklaces for her mother that were purple and one for the friend, which is really an aunt to Chewlee. Kaitlin is Johnnycakes sister. I hadn't seen her in a couple of years. She is definitely a teenager now and much bigger than she was the first time I met her. Pretty girl. But then she was pretty even as a preteen.
After they left, I made us some egg salad for lunch and the Beast ate some for dinner since he said he wasn't all that hungry. Of course not. He snacks damn near all day long and had eaten some sardines and crackers and then some cheese and crackers as he watched TV. He hasn't been doing much in the way of chores around here since he hurt his shoulders and neck. His neck is still bothering him but at least he can now raise his arm to put his ointment on it by himself. That stuff stinks even after you wash your hands a couple times. It seeps into your pores....LOL!
I've been really good about the lotion that I have to apply all over my body (except for my privates, face and the wound that will be excised on Monday. Only one more day to go. I was kind of surprised that I don't have to apply it on Monday but I only do as instructed. Whatever works. I'm a bit nervous about it all even though I trust the surgeon that will be doing it. I just hope it's a whiz-bang situation and I don't have to be cut twice the same operation. Of course, I won't know if he has to make it bigger since I will be under a general anesthesia. Oh well. What will be, will be.
Poor Bratfink may end up getting more snow out of the cold system that will be cutting across southern Indiana. I'm hoping it's a light snow since Sheldon has to be out in it for his job. I really feel bad about all my relatives in the Chicago area. They have had one hell of a winter season this year. Brutal. I can't complain about ours in comparison. Right now (and it's almost 2am here) it's 52 degrees out and we are supposed to be in the 60's tomorrow. The Beast is taking Johnnycakes, the Princess and Chewlee to this park in Guntersville to take pictures of them. I hope to be able to post some here in tomorrow's blog or Monday's. We'll see.
Love you all. Have a great Sunday if you can. ***Hugs***
