Thursday, Christmas is wrapped, I think

     I am telling you I do not like wrapping.  I think Hub's and I wrapped for at least two hours last night.  We kept losing our scissors and our writing tools and our tape, or running out of tape or cutting the paper wrong.  I was constantly patching paper.  Because I won't throw it out.

     When I went into the spare room where I have been storing all the Christmas gifts, I noticed a bad smell.  One of the cats had been accidentally locked  in the room.  )(*&^% So I emptied it all out of gifts and stripped the bed, moved the furniture.  Like I needed to have this mess right now.  I could find no evidence, but when I put the bedspread into the wash I could really smell cat so I am so happy we have waterproof mattress pads on all of our beds.  I was able to get part of the linens washed last night late and I am just finishing them up this morning.  (**&^ darn animals but we need the cats for the mice,and to keep the dog entertained.

     Did I get packed, NO!

     Did I get the car packed, NO!

     There is so much to remember, dog, stuff and food, medications, cellphone chargers, fitbit charger, clothes, presents, baking supplies and tools and a partridge in a pear tree. Stockings, stocking stuffers, my brain......

     It is enough to knock the Christmas spirit right out of you.

     I actually had a call from my Specialists office and the specialist got on the phone to talk to me.  Can you believe that?  A doctor who calls you?  Anyway they are upping the  new additional med to double and I am back on a double dose of steroid until the end of January.  He also sent in a prescription for pain meds.  So I think I will feel better soon.  Just not looking forward to the side affects.  But all this involved several phone calls back and forth, with pharmacists and I had to make a special trip for blood work, to check kidney and liver function.  I haven't turned yellow yet.

     We are taking off sometime this morning, if I can get everything done and packed and cleaned and oh yes have to get someone to take care of cats and chickens that did not get done.

     Well I am off!

Have a Merry, Merry Christmas and I hope to be able to blog while I am gone.
