Who's ready for Christmas?

I have a few more to shop for. Nothing like shopping the last minute. Scrambling around for the perfect or semi-perfect gift. I struggle to the men in my family to buy them something every year. Their gifts tend to be expensive and if I get something small and simple it gets push aside. So I usually give food to those men. Since I can't buy a fancy tool or new tech gift. Since I have down in recovery I have been giving my husband the controls on the decorating. At first I was really upset because this is my favorite time of year for decorating. I have to say even though he didn't use everything that I would have used for decorating it still looks great. I was told by my DR that I CAN let things go this one time since I can't climb on top of the counter tops to put the decorations. I have a bit of OCD.  Since the shopping is almost done it will be onto the wrapping my unfavorite part of Christmas. Good thing my mom is coming into town. She is a wiz at the wrapping p

Recoverying quick

These three people make me the most happy any time of day. The last few weeks have been hard with recovery and all. The recovery process has been good not to many complications but the slowing down and taking time for me is something I didn't do before. I have been an over achiever my whole life, I'm a first born. I don't like when my family is searching for food for a snack, I like to have a clean clean house, clean clothes and I want to serve them because I love them. Sometimes I forget me and think of them. My husband has given me the gift of time. Time to heal, time for me and the time he takes to make sure the household is running smoothly. I really appreciate it. There is more healing but I couldn't be feeling so good without his help for sure.
