I love being in the comforts of home. Especially after an unexpected trip to the hospital, admission and surgery on my abdomen for the 4th time. So for the past week or so, I have been resting and doing little things around the house. Last Thursday evening, we had some friends over and Edwin made some noodles. A good Asian noodle dish was just the right medicine. It was the biggest meal that I had had since well before surgery. We had some leftovers until Saturday. That was good because Saturday was a great noodle day. (It rained and snowed here on Friday and into all day Saturday.)
We went to Katie's sister's house on Saturday evening and spent some quality time with them and the family. We finally got to see their new home. I guess I wouldn't quite call it a home yet because their is still a little unpacking that needs to be completed. Katie cooked up a nice organic chicken dish that was really flavorful. Dave put the kids to bed around eight and we had the rest of the evening to kick back. We played a little Mario Kart on the Wii and Katie was excited that her Wii Fit age is her actual age! We left their house pretty late that night -- after midnight.
The next morning the sun came out and it was a gorgeous day! Katie's other sister Becky called and wanted to come over with Ben and Quinn and set up my birthday present -- an organic garden! They got here around 11:30am. I am really excited that I am going to have a little garden this year! Russ came over at around the same time and I whipped up a little brunch.
This morning the cleaners came over and cleaned some areas that needed to be done -- badly! With all the shuffling back and forth to the hospital, the emergency surgeries, trips to the ER, who has time to clean? A friend of ours got us a maid service for a couple of hours! How great was that! Wish they would have gotten to a little more of the house but the rooms they did look great!
I kicked back and took a nap this afternoon. I haven't napped in a while. As a matter of fact, my sleeping habits haven't been great since I got out of surgery last Wednesday. I find myself getting up at 5am everyday. I am taking a sleeping pill and a natural sleep agent and still I can only seem to get maybe six hours of sleep per night. Once my body calms down from the surgery, I think sleeping will get better.
Tonight happened to be the 'Man Dinner'. Once a month, the boys get together for a night and shoot the breeze and to catch up. Tonight was the Happy Noodle in Boulder and the special sandwich was really good! It was a crab tempura sandwich with a dipping sauce. Need to find a way to get that on the menu for awhile.
