Went into Emporia this morning to get my blood draw done. Afterwards I went to the liquor store to get the bourbon to make bourbon slush. Stopped at Walgreen’s to pick up a prescription and went to Wal-Mart to get the rest of the ingredients I needed to make Christmas goodies.
Came home and got the peanut butter balls made and dipped in chocolate. Had extra chocolate so Kathy spread peanut butter on Ritz crackers and I dipped those in chocolate. Still had extra chocolate so poured a bag of pecans in the chocolate and coated them. Also made the bourbon slush that is a family tradition for us.
It the sun stays out I can get a batch or two of fudge made. The only other thing on my list is sugar cookies and I will wait until I have some helpers to help me frost them on Saturday. Now if my shopping was all done I would be almost ready for Christmas!
Found out my stool culture came back normal. One less thing to worry about. The retreat leader knew what he was doing by treating me with silver and oregano oil.
Sent a note to my local Endocrinologist asking why the decrease in my thyroid medication and told her the Endocrinologist Oncologist from MD Anderson wanted to increase it. I haven’t heard back from her yet. So confusing when I get two different opinions and they don’t match up. I am going to attempt to arrange a conference call after the first of the year with the two doctors and myself and see if we can get together and sort this out.
I am not near as tired today as I was yesterday. I can’t remember being that tired before. I think everything that has happened over the last couple of weeks caught up to me and almost knocked me out. Thinking it will take me a few days to figure out what way is up for me right now. Lots has happened to me over the last several months and I need some down time to process it all. Grateful I have almost a completely empty calendar so far for January. So ready for lots of empty space.
My dear neighbor escorted my dogs back home this morning. They were down by her house by the road and she was afraid they would get hit. Love living where I do and am so lucky to have such nice neighbors.
Have some friends coming over tomorrow afternoon so we can celebrate Winter Solstice. It will be good to see them. We always have a good time when we get together and I always feel better after they are here.
Feeling better about Christmas coming as I got some things ready today. Need to clean house a bit to get ready for tomorrow. Feels so good to be home.
The smell of chocolate is in the air! Christmas is coming soon. All is well on the prairie today!
