That song has been stuck in my head recently …
Even though yesterday was a great day, I slept well last night. Hooray! Breaking the cycle … thank you, meds! Thanks to the good night’s sleep, today has been a really good day as well. I took a short nap this morning, but have been eating well and, along with Cathy, have been enjoying Andy’s visit immensely. My eating started out with one of those 360-calorie oat bars from Andy (strawberry flavor today) and moved onto a piece of toast smothered in avocado. I just finished lunch. It was leftover from last night: pork burrito, beans with cheese, and chips and guacamole dip. Now on to the chocolate bar!
For those wondering: I did indeed watch the KU-Missouri game yesterday afternoon. I tried to remain dispassionate (especially when the Jayhawks were down by 19 in the second half) and even had myself nearly convinced that it was only a game; but when the Jayhawks tied it up and pushed it to overtime, I had my snuggie nearby and was ready to do whatever necessary to propel them to victory. Fortunately, I simply needed to watch quietly and let the players, fans, and wonderful coach do their magic. Wow. It was quite the game for those on the western side of the border. For those on the eastern side: well, some do pronounce it “misery”.
We are getting ready to do a little bit of shopping this afternoon, in part to prepare for an upcoming wedding shower and also the upcoming wedding rehearsal dinner/open house we are having at our house for the wedding party and those family members in town for the wedding. I can’t think of anything more exciting to shop for … I think I have enough stamina to be of some help, especially since Cathy has done a lot of the homework for this already, which should make the trips efficient. It is nice to be able to be included.
I want to take this opportunity to thank you all again for your incredible outpouring of love and support, evidenced in so many ways. I can’t tell you how important it all is to us. I truly feel better because of it, as does Cathy, Laura, and Dan. And it doesn’t stop there, I know our entire extended family is buoyed by my improving health.
So, back to the song stuck in my head: What's love got to do with it ... Everything!
