woke up this morning with the worst hip pain EVER!!!  i took one of my mega horse pills... it only took the edge off.  AUGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!    it took more pain meds later to get it down to a dull ache.  

had a nice week with Lauren last week.  although i was super sick most of the days she was here.  but there were two days i was well enough to watch a few movies with her.  She took such good care of me. 

Steph is now working M-F, and has her Saturdays off.. well Sundays too, but she had those off already.  

EO headed back up north after the meeting today being he wasn't able to fill his tag last week.  If he doesn't get it filled by Tuesday noon, he will come home.  I pray he fills his tag.  He hasn't been able to get anything this year and we sorely need the meat.  We don't go through as much, but we still give meat to my mom & Lauren, and now that Colton is on his own, he often stops in for some.  well... not real often, but from time to time he does and we want him to be able to have some too. 

So since Steph will be leaving tomorrow morning for work, I will be on my own for 24 hrs or so.  I have what i need and I should be able to manage just fine.  It was really nice to have EO home for a couple nights.  I sure missed him.  He does call at night, but it's not the same.  i've just gotten so used to him being here with me, that him being gone for a week is lonesome.  Even if he doesn't get a deer, at least he got a little vacation.  He needs that.  It has been a horrific year for him. 

ok, i'm maxed out.  much get off this machine!
