Took this pic yesterday morning. See my pet Cockatiel, Ricky, on my desk?? Ha!
It was so nice on Saturday that I went to Walmart and Agway. Had to get more critter food anyway. But it was real nice and most of the snow had melted off my car so it was no problem pushing it off and I shoveled a little around it. I even enjoyed the huge crowds in Walmart!! Ha! If it hadn't been for my damn left foot hurting I'd have walked around more. I'm feeling so good the other way and now have to have that foot bother me. I forget that the surgery didn't take my Post Polio problems away..Ha! Sure wish it had. But I feel great! I have lots of energy and hardly sit at all till I think of it and feel that I better.Last night was the annual Christmas party here at the building. I haven't attended it in two years because I wasn't feeling that well but I feel so good that I thought I'd go out and mingle with the old folks and take their pictures. I never am in any of the pictures because I'm the only one with a camera. Then they always want me to give them pictures but they never realize that it takes a lot of ink. So I will just print some out on plain paper for them to see.
The couple next door to this building, who live in the real nice house on the hill are the ones who catered our party. The food was delicious. Tamara did a wonderful job. She even brought China dishes and her own Silver!! And I don't think any got broke either. That's a miracle, especially when all the ladies had to carry them out to the hallway to get their food. Ha!
I was tired after standing around too long with the camera. I wasn't using the walker because there was no room to walk with it anyway. I did sit at a table for a while.
We have two new couples that just moved in and a new guy. There are still two empty apartments here.
I'm feeling better and better each day. I won't know if my wafer has leaked till I take it off tomorrow. I don't feel as much stinging so hopefully it has stuck better this time. I sure don't want any open sores around that Stoma or I'll have to keep the flange or wafer off for a night. I wonder how I'd deal with that?? The "Poop" would have to go somewhere!! It's too bad they didn't have tiny little flanges that just fit over the Stoma area and clip on to a long bag to drain into something just for night time if you need air to get on your skin. Because that is the only thing that will heal the irritated skin. I'll know more tomorrow when I change it. It's supposed to last for at least five days in between changes but I can only go three right now because of the irritation. I'm too afraid to let it go any longer. I don't want an infection to set in. Then I'd be on Antibiotics again. But I will think on the positive side and hope it's better!
It's nice and sunny today so far but not as warm as yesterday. Yesterday it got up to almost 30 but today it's only up to about 25. But still pretty.
My two Granddaughters, Sarah and Vanessa, are up in Montreal right now and are supposed to be down this way from the 20th till the 23rd. They are supposed to stop and see me. I hope they do. I've met Vanessa but not Sarah. Sarah is in the Air Force and is a US Linguist in Korean. Those girls are real smart kids, thank heavens. If they had ever stayed with their mom they would not have gotten the good education. Thank God for the Grandparents who funded all their private schools and college for them.
I have sent out most all my Christmas cards. Just had to print out a few more today and that will be all done. Now I've got to start making a few things. My Spinach Balls and the Pumpkin Rolls. They can be frozen.
That's all for now. Have a great day everyone.
