8:20am

We had a very nice Thanksgiving.

We left the house around 9:30am and got home about 5:30pm.

I don't think the lake saw any snow!

Thank goodness that we didn't get all the snow

that they had predicted because I had worried

about our drive up there.

I had taken a diarrheal medicine Wednesday night

and it last all through yesterday thank goodness!

It wore off in the wee hours of this morning.

I fell asleep at the in-laws for about an hour and a half

on their couch waiting to eat.

Then once back home I went to bed at 6:30am

and got up at 8:00am!!  I slept 13.5 hours!!

I did awake a couple times to go potty

and get something to drink and take an ibuprofen.

My muscles in my upper body have been aching pretty good,

especially my shoulders. 

2 weeks to go til I see my GI doctor.

Seems like the wait has been forever.

It's almost been 8 weeks I've been in this flare up!!

10:00am

I took my first pain pill just to help me with

everything that needs done today.

Today I put up the Christmas tree like I've

been doing as far back as I can remember

the day after Thanksgiving.

I was determined to do it no matter how bad I felt.

3:20pm

We just got around to getting out the Christmas things.

Hubby is outside putting lights on the fence out back.

Me, I got the Christmas tree up.

Don't buy a prelit tree.  I haven't had the lights

last on one for more than a year.

I don't care if the box says if one light goes

out the rest stay on.  

I had to put lights on our so called prelit

tree this year.  The only things I had to use

that had white cords (because green cords on a white tree

stick out like a sore thumb) was about 3-4 strands

of icicle lights.  It didn't turn out too bad.

And my living room is officially wiped out at the moment

with Christmas decorations and lights laying everywhere.

10:15pm

I laid down about 6:45pm and got back

up about 9:45pm because I was thirsty

and my body hurts all over.

Took me another pain pill.

That pain pill helped a lot earlier today

to put up Christmas lights and wreaths outside

and to get the large tree up inside

along with putting lights on a little

tree that sits in the bay window.

We'll see how I feel tomorrow about getting

out the rest of the decorations.
