November has been such a long month! Between the doctor, the dentist and family this month hasn't had a dull day.
Joe finished up the laundry room and it looks awesome. M came over and helped do the floor. The guys did a fantastic job and I am loving the way it came out!
Sadly, the dentist has been an evil necessity that has involved way too many Tylenol. The first tooth was yanked and once healed will have an implant in it's spot, the second one was filled, a third is scheduled for a crown and from the ache in my jaw, I think the second one may have been filled in vain. Have a feeling that it will be the next to go. What is it with me and tooth troubles prior to vacations? One toothache six months ago has turned me into a whiny, Tylenol popping baby! A few months to go and hopefully all will be well. Fingers crossed. Enough on that subject for another few weeks!
Doctor was just a physical and flu shot. Basically, she told me I'm aging, get over it and don't waste a ton of money on Internet remedies for hot flashes! Turns out they don't work well and the only thing to do is adjust the thermostat and wait it out. Basically, she gave me another valid reason to whine! Poor Joe.
Speaking of Joe, he took a quick trip to Utah this month. Sadly his stepbrother passed away. He went to the funeral and then spent some quality time with his mom. To all of my readers from the family, hugs!!
Dinner with the boys and H while Joe was gone...
Due to the time of year, we made the decision to have me stay home. Of course, the very first night I got the scare of my life! I'm sitting in the kitchen, at the computer and I see a figure dash in front of the window. The doorbell rings and I see the figure run by the window again. It is 9 p.m. and pitch black out. I immediately call my daughter. Her and her hubby are concerned and he is all set to jump in the car and drive over. We get the bright idea that I should peek out the window and look to see if there is still someone on the doorstep. All that is there is a package...
Why a package was delivered that late at night and by whom is the question. The mailman and UPS driver both swear not guilty. Although the UPS driver did notice that there were 2 address stickers on the box and he thinks it may have been delivered to the wrong house and being good Samaritans, they dropped it off. For my own piece of mind, I think I'm going with that option!
For Miss Isobel, we installed a new channel on Cat TV, it is the squirrel network. I can honestly say, I'm enjoying it as much as she is!
As usual, I've had plenty of time with my adorable grandsons. They keep me on my toes! B is hands down way too fast for his own good. I posted on my Facebook page his cuteness the other day! If you missed it:
O and his folks are set to come and visit us for a few days. He called me on the phone the other day to tell me he was having a dance party and then going to fix his truck. Been four weeks since we saw him so I'm ready! Seems like the boys change so much so fast.
Which brings us to turkey time! Busy getting stuff ready, menus have been planned and dishes have been assigned. We are going to have a nice sized crowd this year which makes me very happy. Wish the MA gang was able to join us but hopefully we'll get some Facetime in with them. Seems like my October visit was a lifetime ago, miss those gorgeous girls!!
I feel like we have so much to be thankful for this year! New home, new grandson, another grand baby on the way, lots of family get togethers, one vacation down and one left to go. Kind of makes Joe's shingles and my teeth seem like a small price to pay for so many wonderful things that have already taken place this year.
Hope that one and all have a wonderful holiday and enjoy all of the good things that have made their way into your lives this year! Be thankful and enjoy the day. For us, it will be parades, deep fried turkey, tons of family and hopefully warm enough weather to be outside for awhile!
For you, fill in the blanks for your perfect day and have a happy Thanksgiving!
