I went to go get the kids their gifts around 3:30pm or so yesterday. On the way out to the car, I tripped on the last step of the stairs down into the garage and fell to my left knee. I knew that knee was going to punish me but it would take a while so I got up and made my way to the car. I had to hit Walgreens and then hit Walmart. I rode an electric cart....the people that had been in the space before me had left one right there. I figured it was a sign....LOL!
When I got back to the car and was putting the stuff I had bought into the back, a Walmart guy that gathers up the carts came over and offered to take the electric cart back inside for me. I was so grateful because of the pain I was feeling at that point. I really didn't want to face a walk from the exit door back to the car. Another sign.
I spent all the money that Carol had sent and about $9. over that that I put on my debit card. But I can wrap the two big gifts and hide the others with tissue in the big bags. I think the kids will get a big kick out of what I got for them and the Princess may never speak to me again after one that I bought for Chewlee. No...it is NOT drums.....LOL!
I tried to go to the bathroom this morning and could barely stand up even using my cane. When the Beast came in to check on how I felt, I asked him to help me. He did but he got worried when he saw how badly I was limping. He said if it's no better tomorrow, I have to go to emergency. I agreed to that. I just know that I really came down HARD on that leg.
I got my Bailey's that Carol had insisted on and a small one that I smuggled into my computer room....LOL. I've been adding it to my coffee and it's delish! The big bottle is in the fridge. I could hardly believe how worried he seems and he even got me coffee (in my BIG HUG MUG) and something to eat. He's not usually that caring.
When he comes in next time, I am going to have him bring me the hot pad. I probably should have had it last night but didn't think about it until the Beast had already gone to bed. I used my desk chair to get over to my recliner and that's where I slept last night...very comfortably since I did not wake up during the night even to pee....LOL.
Oh just freaking wonderful. I just found out I have no phone service. A friend of mine from England tried to call me. Then he had his fiance (who is here in the U.S.) try and they both got this message: The phone you are trying to call has either changed it's number, is disconnected or no longer in service. The Beast is going to be big time pissed....once he hears me calling him. *Sigh* I tried calling his phone number and got the same recording. We need this crap like a hole in the head, especially during the holidays. He's going to have to go into Verizon to straighten this out. That will NOT make him a happy camper!
Well, I'm going to get this posted now. Love you all and I'm sorry it's so late. But I'm sure you understand. Be good. Stay warm. Get that last minute shopping done! ***Hugs***
