Home Alone

Katie & Kristen just left for the drive back to UMBC. They have finals to finish, but are completely done with the semester by Wednesday. Barb & Kelsey are at Awana. I chose not to go tonight. I made it to church this morning by not taking any pain meds this morning, but within just a couple of hours I needed to start them again (I guess I'm a wuss) and they make me too dull to be around the kids. So, I'm home alone.

I really like being around my family much more than being alone. I'm not at all sure that they agree with that preference, but I know that it's very true for me. Often, I'm quite the butthead to be around, but thankfully they still stick with me. I sure do love them.

I'm not sure that I can say that eating is going well. The fact is that since the surgery, my eating has been minimal. I think the meds cut my appetite and also, the location of the stitches makes it painful to take a bite of anything. I tried to eat a sandwich for lunch today and I actually had to cut it into small bites with a knife and fork. That all together, along with mindful eating the first half of the week, will lead to the numbers being down tomorrow.

I think I'll still be home from work tomorrow. I can't drive, or I guess think very well, while taking the meds, so hopefully, I'll be done with them tomorrow and can go back to work on Tuesday. Friday, I'll be back at the hospital to get the splints unsutured from within my nose. Yummy.
