so beautiful!!!!

Yesterday I just kept getting sicker, and I didn't get as many cards done as I had hoped to.  But I was able to do some of the "big ones".  I wrote out a few special ones, Bill had asked me to make special notes in them for him.  Once I wrote it in a notebook, EO took the notebook over to him to approve before I wrote out the card.  When EO got home he gave me the "thumbs up" so I got those written out.  

Then today I finished up the last of them.  EO's job was to call and get a few addresses I didn't have and put stamps on them.  So funny, before I could finish writing the address, he was leaning over me to put a stamp on it.  Crazy B!  He does make life fun though!!

I started the packing last night.  I will finish it up tomorrow.  as for today I am super tuckered out and my back is not happy with me.  I know it was all the leaning on the table writing.  then i had a massive headache today, but turns out, i had forgotten to take my morning meds.  I hate when I do that.  I was to distracted by all the thank you cards we were filling out.   I might have a stray one or two more do fill out, but as for now, they are done.

i am a little nervous about our trip.  I wish we were leaving a day sooner.  what worries me is the drive will be so hard on me, that i won't be able to recover fast enough to handle day one. so, i am again praying for the power beyond what is normal.  to help me be calm and relaxed, and for my pain meds to work well to get me through the long days.  As it is, I seldom can stay up until 5pm without laying down. and so getting up at 7am each morning and not getting to bed until 7pm or so... yeah, it will be clear that i will need to stay at the hotel on Saturday.  My health just really took a turn for the worse this past year. Something happened last spring, and from that point on, i have struggled much more than normal. 

I found out my grandma decided to not go to the convention.  instead she is going to stay with my mom.  i'm disappointed she wont' be there, but i think the stress on her little 95 year old body would really be rough on her. perhaps she would be fine, but she wants to be with mom, and she is 95, she can decide what she wants to do, as she knows well what is best for her. I am glad mom won't be alone. 

well, i am truly spent.  i have to rest... and it isn't even 2pm.  i am too frail!
