You all remind me constantly to take care of myself. Well how is this for proof??
This Week's Spoiling Joy's: On the 19th it was our 16th Anniversary from the day we met. Since Ed had moved here from California he was living with his Mom. I consider my Mother-in-Law as a large part of this day's celebrations since I had to meet her that night.
Thursday I fell asleep after work, woke up in time to solve Final Jeopardy. Fell back asleep and woke up in time for the nightly news.
Friday after treatment we visited Ed's Mom since Saturday was her birthday. She cooked for us despite her arthritis. Sitting down it felt like all those past Italian meals she used to make. The house smelled so nice and she looked like she was in her glory. After all, she was. She told me how very happy she was to have me in her life. Well, the entire day was full of compliments.
Saturday I slept in, so late that it was the first time I have been late for Mookie's diabetic shot. Woops! I spent the day frolicing around the house. I had to take a pain pill so I was not all that fast but I had a hell of a time. In fact, it took me all day to do things that should have taken 3 hours.
Sunday I soaked the feet in a luxury soak that was comprised of Jasmine. I got to sit all day and watch old movies. Later in the evening I did a facial mask. This mask is the best I have ever used. When I took it off it came off in one large 'mask' that suited my face. Ed was laughing so hard that he actually had to hold it to believe it.
The entire week was full of many other pampering spoiling activities. It will not stop there either. Tonight I have plans to do almost nothing. I think I will read after the candles get lit, the prayers are said and the belly is full.
This could get to be a habit. Believe it or not, I only got to do nothing because I had to medicate myself so deep. Love to all.>>Believe51
