Now, here we are on New Year's Eve. We met our deadline at work and I left the office slightly earlier than normal. Then I spent the next 2 hours in the doctor's office. I have acute sinusitis. I got a shot on each side of my rump. It hurts-- bad. Then another hour at the drug store filling two prescriptions. Then home to the couch and a box of tissues. To top it all off, my husband is in bed (if you don't remember, he works nights). But, he's getting up at 11:30 so we can bring in the new year together! We usually always watch the ball drop on tv. Have you seen this year's ball? I think it is gorgeous!
What's in store for tomorrow? Well, that is debatable at this point in time. I wanted to take my Christmas decorations down (yes, we are that family on the block!). If I feel half as bad as I do right now, our Christmas decorations may stay up for another week. We'll see. I know the day will involve a trip to the grocery store. The doctor told me about a home remedy for painful sinus swelling. It involves uncooked rice and an old sock. We don't have any rice in the pantry. And since we can't wash any clothes tomorrow (an old superstition of my mom's), I hope I can find a clean sock! You just place some rice in the sock and tie it off, put it in the microwave, then use it like a heating pad. She said I should have some relief soon. Let's hope so! The other reason for the trip to the grocery store is for a few more ingredients for my lasagna. We've had it for dinner for several years now-- who needs greens and black eye peas?
I hope everyone has a great night and a happy and prosperous New Year!
