A really cold day

It has been quite cold here today and I am not really ready for it to be this cold, but I guess we must take what we are given too. I am so thankful for a really warm coat and warm leather gloves while it was 22 this morning when I took Major out as well as taking the trash down too. I am finding out that the coffee I really like has a little too much acid in it and has made me sick, so we will be trying something totally different in the morning as well and will just have to see if my body adjusts so that I can go back to the really strong Jamaican blend that I love so much.
Sue is really tired today and it will be late when she gets home because of a seminar that she had to go to at 5:00 and won't get out until 6:30 and then will pick up something to eat on the way home as well. I know that she is really ready for this semester to be over and done with because of all of the stuff that they want between now and then end of the semester. It is such a shame that teachers just cannot just teach anymore and have to be glorified secretaries as well.

A cold morning

It is a cold morning, but that puts me more in the mood for the holidays. I am enjoying my usual pot of coffee and that is always a good thing. I am beginning to feel better from my gall bladder surgery from last week and that is good too. I am stillhaving to be really careful about what I am eating and drinking, but that is a good thing too.
We are looking forward to seeing one of Sue's cousins and his family this weekend as they head for Florida to Disnewy World and then to see them again on their return trip to Pennsylvania, and that should be fun too.

Gall bladder is gone

My subject line says it all. The gall bladder is gone and the surgery went really well. I was really groggy late yesterday afternoon and was feeling better this morning, but was not feeling that great this afternoon, so I am just taking it easy.
I do feel better and I have not had a bowel movement yet, but have passed a good bit of gas as well as having to urinate a bit, and that is a good thing.
I guess that it is going to take some time as to when my body will catch up. The best thing was that it was an outpatient procedure and done laparoscopically, so the recovery time should be better than if I had had an open incision.

Two days to go

I only have two eays to go before my gall bladder goes. This week has been a little rough and I am really ready to get this thing over and done with. Sunday night's supper made me royally sick and everything I ate yesterday bloated me and made me feel generally yucky, so it is time.
I am really hoping that I will feel immediate relief after the pain of the surgery wears off. I am really thankful that is an outpatient procedure and laparoscopicially done too.

A fun evening

We had a really fun evening last night. Trans Siberian Orchestra was in town and I had been wanting to see them for several years and let me tell you, that was one great concert. I have never seen a light show like that ever before and they had everything from lasers to a flame bar and it was Sue's first rock concert and I think she enjoyed the first half that was all Christmas, but did not enjoy the second half as much as I did and it was a great show. I would definitely go back and see them again. We don't go to things like that often, but it is a nice treat to go out every now and then because the life around school is really a a rat race and with my surgery coming up later on this week, it was definitely a nice diversion.
Mom and I went to lunch today and got a great hamburger at a local place in South Congaree that we like to go to as well and it was nice too.

I just do not understand something

I just do not understand something. Why is it when people have blogs that they ahve to put music on top of them and for those of us who are using screen readers to read the text, it makes it impossible to read the text because the music is so overpowering that I cannot hear the text of the blog.
I have not been able yet to find a way to get rid of this music when it starts and it seems rather inconsiderate to me. I guess that is just my own opinion, but it really makes things difficult and it makes me not to want to go to these people's blogs as well.

A quiet Dunday

It is a really quiet Sunday here today. Sue has been really tired all week and school has really gotten her down because of the craziness of report cards and teacher conferences with parents as well. Her one child has been really horrendous all week and I think that something really needs to be done. I know that she will have no kids tomorrow and that is a good thing so maybe she can get some work in her room done. I have offered to go with her and do some typing for her, but she has not taken me up on that yet.
We watched church from First Baptist downtown Columbia and it was a good service. I know that we are looking for a church home, but it does provide a great service too. I am hoping that we can find somewhere where we really will be comfortable and something a little smaller than we have been visiting. I really don't want to go to where her mom goes because it is too small and is dying because there is just no life there. I like the pastor, but he needs to retire and if he does, I am sure that church will die, but it is on the other side of Columbia from where we live and it is just too far to go and not get fed.
We are just taking things easy otherwise and I will be watching the race later on this afternoon and that should be fun too.
Sue fixed banana nut pancakes this mroning and they were great. It was definitely something different and I always like stuff like that too.
