i am amazed at the temperature outside right now. it's almost 3am and it's 53 degrees! It is supposed to be 70 degrees tomorrow but could be rainy. *Sigh* There's always a trade off somehow, isn't there?
Yesterday was my friend, Staffy's, birthday. He is now 57 years old. He lives in England and is the one that recently married his sweetie he had met online on the game site that we play together. I lucked out and got to see him then he called me to wish me a speedy recovery. He had seen me pop onto the site just as he was preparing to go to bed. It was one am in England at the time. He has a severe heart problem but his wife watches him on Skype and makes him take a nap in the afternoon. They are a sweet couple and have become dear friends. I did get him off the phone and he promised he was on his way to bed as soon as we hung up.
I am so looking forward to seeing my sisters tomorrow. Oops! I mean later today. My sister, Cee, got a phone today and called me right away to give me the number. I had told her that she would need one here. Everyone has a cell phone here and is the way we all keep in touch. She went to Verizon and got a phone that gives her 700 minutes every month for..get this! Only 25 dollars a month. That Sprint campaign has sure led them to come down in their prices....LOL.
My friend, Carol, emailed me that she was sending me a 5# bag of Kauai coffee beans and...this was a joke...she said it should last me a few days. LOL! It will last me a month, at least.
Sheepie was telling me about a 2 bedroom apartment at her complex that was becoming available. Her friend lives there and they just bought a house. It won't be available until the end of the month but I don't think that will matter to Cee and Babybrat. Sheepie loves the apartment (a 2 bedroom for just $475 a month and that includes everything but the electricity. Cee was VERY interested and was kind of glad that Sheepie lives in the same complex. She moved here to be close to family and that isn't very far from us, either.
I am healing, I can tell. I am in less pain now and can stay upright longer. I only hope that I can stop my naps in the afternoon. I get nauseous, though, if I don't lay down. I always fall asleep for a couple hours and that is why I am up this late. Oh well! I avoid taking the pain pills the doctor gave me since it makes me nauseous. But I discoered the milder pain pills I have normally work well for me and help me sleep. I will be taking one when I post this so I can sleep without pain. I forget while I am asleep and sometimes turn the wrong way and it wakes me up if I don't take one.
A friend of the Beast's from his church came over today with food. She made a wonderful chicken and rice dish and some apples from her trees that she cooked up. They were very welcome. The Beast told me another friend from his church is bringing over something tomorrow. LOL! They all look at me and can see I lost some weight while in the hospital. They feel they need to fatten me up, I guess. I think it's very sweet of them but it's not going to convert me. I know that is what is also on their minds. But sweet of them to care.
My friend from England said it would probably take me a couple months to heal *at my age*....LOL! I told him he was only 11 years younger than I am (at least until the end of June when I gain another year). He then said, *Unfortunately, as we get older it DOES take us longer to heal*. I had to laugh at his tone of voice, which was very regretful. He misses his wife who had to return to the US to put her house up for sale. Plus she is a civil servant and has to officially retire. Did you know that she was told that she and her new hubby had to prove they both has assets of $250,000. in order for her to immigrate? I was stunned at that. How many people have that kind of money? I mean she will have her income from retirement and then, later on, she will also have her SS besides her pension. She won't be a drain on England, that's for sure.
Oh well. Time to end this and head for bed. Love you all and please stay healthy. Don't ignore any aches and pains you may have. I could have died from my dying colon if I hadn't gotten appendicitis from the bacteria and gone to the emergency room. I was even running a high fever and had no idea. But I think the pain I was having at the time was all I could feel. ***Hugs***
