As I was watching TV after eating my turkey dinner, the doorbell rang. Just like 2 years ago, someone left a gift basket at the door. This one weighed around 15 lbs. I brought it in and took stock of what was in the basket, seeing a big tin of Royal Dansk butter cookies (score!), many expensive chocolates, cheddar and broccoli soup mix, cookie mix, Chutes and Ladders (I guess I will give that to my big sis Sheri for her grandson), a 50 dollar gift card to my choice of 6 restaurants, and a 100 dollar VISA debit card. I wish I knew who to thank for all this. There has to be 250 dollars or more of stuff in the basket.
It sure beat last night, when I was on the verge of going to the hospital. My head was hot and my torso, but my arms and legs were freezing. I took two Tylenols and a hot bath, which warmed all of me up and my headache and fever went away. My head got hot again and I finally broke down and took a hydrocodone before bed. I woke at two feeling normal but sweaty, so my fever broke a bit before then. I was hungry since I skipped dinner, so I ate some Cheerios and went back to bed.
Merry Christmas to all of you. I hope I am here next year to say the same.
