another week begins

The super bowl has come and gone. How weird that I actually watched a little bit of it. I hate football, never watch it. But because of all the hype for the "wonderful" commercials and Madonna singing for halftime, I tuned in. Well, I sort of tuned in. "S" called me shortly after Kelly sang the anthem and I spent most of the first half on the phone with her. That's okay, I enjoyed talking to her more than watching a football game anyway. After the halftime performance I tuned in to my laptop and kept busy surfing.

Today was a painful day for me, as in physical pain. I woke up this morning with my bad leg and hip hurting like hell. It has been very painful to even walk today. I should have taken some pain meds but I had an appointment with my eye doctor this afternoon and I didn't want to take something and then have to drive. Besides, I wasn't sure if he was going to dilate my pupils or not. He didn't, thank God, it is hard to drive after having that done. He said my eyes actually looked healthier this year, better than when I saw him this time last year. But, he was concerned about my blood pressure, said it was high today. He asked me if I took meds for it, I told him yes, he asked how long had I been on it. I told him about 10 years. He said to keep a check on it for the next few days. He wrote me a prescription for bifocals but said I could buy over the counter readers if I wanted. He encouraged me to buy the bifocals, said I have really good insurance and it should cover them. Nah, I'll stick to my cheap readers I get at the dollar store. They work just fine.

Daughter is sick with a sinus infection, she finally broke down and went to the doc on Saturday to get antibiotics. She went to my mom's yesterday and called me and asked me to meet her over there. Hubby's son was here visiting for the day, so I left the two of them here to do whatever and went to my mom's. I meant to call my daughter this evening to see how she was feeling but had to go run to the grocery store and do some things and I forgot to call. I can't call right now, I don't think she would appreciate me calling her at 2:15 in the morning. I'll try to call her tomorrow evening when she gets home from work.

And that's about it. Nothing exciting. At least hubby went back to work today. He was gone all day Saturday, he was at his friend's house helping him sort through some stuff, organizing. By the time he got home Saturday night it was late and I wasn't in the mood to go anywhere by then, so we just stayed home. He told me today that he will probably be going back to his friend's house again this coming Saturday. I'm going to try to think of something to do with myself that day. Maybe go shopping or something. We'll see. Off to bed. Until later.....
