Two entire nights where you go to bed and then are up for what 6 hours again.
First its the bathroom run , then its the night sweats and then just to top it off the knee pain and leg cramp combo.
I had gotton up three times this night, the third time my husband thought he'd offer some verbal help,"why don't you rub some cold jell on that knee, "gee Dan I've only done 3 times" and not its not working.............................LIMP drag cane..limp drag cane down the hall..." yet going down the stairs is pain free, I curse again....
time for tea.
Had a bizzare dream where everyone lost alot weight and I was left looking like a basketball shape. That's all I remember.
No more red grapes late at night.
Well I do hope some slept better than I , if not , I'm generally up between 3.30 am on ward give a call or stand by the computer....ps Bones and house are on at 4.00 am and 5.00 am
Going down to make coffee.

Love and Romangina Vita..........an Epic evening
Last Saturday was the official party for my son AAron and his beloved Donna on their engagment.
The morning went smooth as the rapids going down the grande canyon catagory 5 to be exact.
Her royal himey Serena had a gas pains and was in dire straits , Dan had gone running and I was trying to figure out what to wear and burning my forehead with hot curlers.
Dave was sleeping.
Afte Dan came home we shot out of the house to pick up the sausage rolls and the cake at Costco.
We made one unexpected stop at Marks where I managed to find an actual pair of black shoes to wear, that were more dressy than crap grey runners.As an added bonus they are very confortable and stable.Those are two inportant things when one is a woonky walker.
Any way back to change and pkg every thing up and downtown we went, it started to drizzle a bit but looked like it might clear.
Arrived to the condo unloaded all the stuff into Aaron 's and Donnas and then went Downstairs to meet the Menears to go out to dinner.
At 5 pm on the dot we spotted our friends did a meet and greet and chose to use taxi as it was starting to pelt rain, so a nice walk was not to be.
Peg and Neil had recently discovered an Italian restaurnat which they deemed as quite good and that the food was excelelnt, that was perfect with us ,As I trust their opinion.
Giving the cab directions to restaurant whose name could not be rembered was amusing.Ramingana Vita{ all things of Roman life}
Bless those cab drivers and the fact that Neil knew exactly where the area was.
It was a very inviting and warm reataurant understated and smelled almost eurphoriac.
The scents of various dishes made me hungry.
Had a fun waiter and great company and an Orso buco to make you sigh for it was that good, right Peg!
I was doubly happy cause they had home made Brassole'!!
After our meal and thanks to gracious friends, we headed off to attempt to walk off the meal but the rain perssited , so into a nearby bar for some wine and beer by a cozy fireplace, which when you come in from the damp is great but 10 minutes later its burning infernal if your menopausal.
When your with people whose company one enjoys the conversation flows the smiles are easy the time goes by all too quickly, before we knew it was time to head to the celebration back at the condo.
We arrived at the front doors and there was Christine Whishart in full bloom she and Alistar, AArons best man are expecting their first baby, its wonderful.
Into the lobby where we met up with Joe and Lisa and Lucy and Todd to the 38th floor.
The party was well started and food and drinks flowed so we had a little catching up to do along with many introductions to variuous relations and friends of the happy couple .
Although some peole were missing for what ever reasons work or prior engagments , we know their good wishes had been sent.
Dan made a heartfelt speach as did AAron to his future bride and it was a terrific night , its too bad the weather had not been better , on a postive note the company and the party were!

Happy thanksgiving my behined!
Let me ask you this," whose idea was it to get all the women in the western hemisphere to devote another entire day or two together to start cookiing like mad whores when the Navy comes in ,"? Then don't even get to sit down with the multidues to eat it.
If you did this your'e exhausted if you didn't your smart.
Fouteen people , 7 side dishes a turkey a ham 2 pumkin pies bought 1 apple pecan pie bought one bluebery cheese cakse for daughter inlaw to be 's birthday.
Made squah soup Saturday but it was so good ate half the pot.
Forgot to put out salad third year in a row and veggies with four dips as well.
All were happy all were fed, mom did the washing up of serving platess, I used paper plates,
a walk to visit my dad's memory tree doing well and then home agian were all left , Dan disappeared after the slamming of the last car door upstairs and I was left alone with tea and quiet reflection, it would have been Barb's 46 th birhtday.
I am always thankful for those friends I've had since childhood, and those I've made
as an adult, family and relative good health with a few cliches but then who doesn't have.
Figured out how to down load my kindle and that laundry waits for no one.
Have a great week.
