I've been saying for ages that I am going to call my sister, Cee, and get the skinny on her move up here, especially since I heard that she is coming earlier than originally planned. I have my note on my computer but.....the Beast got up today and looked and sounded just awful. He DOES have a bad cold. I felt bad for him and made breakfast for us. I really wanted some hot cereal but ended up making us scrambled eggs since that appealed to him. I was just hungry....LOL.
He had said he would make lunch but instead he went to Taco Bell. Yes, he braved the cold but first he warmed up the car. He wasn't being entirely nuts. However, I was a bit disappointed. I think, in fact, I'm pretty sure that they have changed their meat recipe. I normally don't mind the regular tacos but today...yuk! They just didn't taste right. I couldn't put my finger on just WHAT was different but the meat had less flavor and even putting my hot sauce on it did not compensate.
I was going to make us something for dinner....had it all planned but the Beast only felt like some soup and crackers. So that's what he got. Then he snacked on a few things later in the evening. I was taking my after lunch nap when Tara showed up, feeling guilty because it's been so long since she stopped over. What she should understand is that we know how tough that can be when you have a little one, am trying to run and expand your own business and maintain a household, too. And she doesn't have a husband to help out.
But she brought me up to speed on her plans to help her mother move up here so I at least felt less in the dark about that. I WILL call tomorrow since my only plans are to run to Walmart to pick up my prescriptions as well as some eggs and milk and maybe a candle or two. I love having a candle in my computer room and I am totally out of them now. I've even used up the votive size ones from last Christmas. But at least my sister needs to know that I am not a total flake. I really DID mean to call her today. I just didn't plan on the Beast being sick. I felt great until my nap was over.
I don't know what I did while I was sleeping but I woke up with such pain in my back (towards the side, actually) that I felt like I did when the aches and pains from my falls started showing up. I'm going to have to take a pain pill to sleep tonight. *Sigh*
Tara was talking about being over at the Princess' house and holding Gunner. Gunner kept running his hands down her hair. I think it's the lighter color that fascinated him. His mother has dark hair and it's longer than Tara's. However, the Princess is wearing it up more lately, I've noticed so I don't think Gunner gets to do that to his mother much.
Gunner got his first official tooth and now the Princess has said that if he bites her (not IF, should be WHEN), he's on the bottle! LOL He's 8 months old now and I think she can give up breast feeding him without feeling any guilt. Many mothers give that up around 6 months, figuring that is a good enough start and because they want to resume some semblance of a normal life for themselves. My mother always breast fed until the first *bite* and then it was formula. How I hated how the original formulas smelled. Now they are so easy and you don't have to make up a gallon or more at a time. How times have changed.
It's 14 degrees outside right now. Yuk! It's only going to get up to around 23 or so for a high tomorrow but it should be sunny. At least, I hope so! It will warm up by this weekend...somewhat. In the 50's is acceptable. They actually ended up closing the school that Chewlee attends today. I was surprised at that but who knows? They may have lost their heat or some such thing. It was cold enough that I am sure the kids were glad.
Well, time for me to hit the sack. I'm tired out now but just need to take a pain pill. If I cough or just turn too quickly, I'm reminded that I am in pain. Love you all. Please be careful if you are in the area affected by the Polar air. Louisville is supposed to be down below zero (-11F) tomorrow and Mustacio is happy he is off work. Stay warm and safe. ***Hugs***
