Harry Potter and My mother-in-laws "new house"

Well, I finished Harry Potter last night at 9:00. I could not have done it without a great deal of cooperation from my husband and James. Although James tried very hard to give me his books to read instead, and I did as I always do, begin to read his and after 3 pages, he walks away.

As some or most of you know, my in-laws are getting divorced. Fortunately, now the decision has been made, they are not attempting to drag it out and make it bad. In fact, my father-in-law bought my mother-in-law a new house. She is downsizing to 4000 sq. feet. The link for some of you who are interested is below, just copy and paste and it should take you to the listing. There are not very many pictures. Overall though, Alex and I very pleased with her choice of location because instead of being 25 miles away, she will only be five miles, and I believe the new place will ease the transition for her.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

Chapter 1, 2:00 a.m. I know you are shocked, I did not got to bed at 10:30p.m. As I left for Border's around 12:30 a.m. (I already had my wrist band) I almost felt like I was breaking curfew! If my mom reads this blog she should get a real kick out of that!

Back to work

Well, I am happy to report that I am back at work today. I did not arrive until 9:45 a.m., but I am hoping that will improve. Right now I only have 2 1/2 hours to make until 5:00, and so I am very optimistic :)

I however and very swamped with two weeks worth of work that was barely maintained in my absence, so I better get back to it.

On the mend....

I am still not back to work but definitely on the mend. I am on a great deal of medication which includes hydrocodone and valium and some other medications. Needless to say, I am not awake very much. In fact, in the past 72 hours, I would say that I have been awake for about 22 of those hours. On the bright side, all that sleeping has allowed me to continue healing. I am definitley feeling better and have begun to back off the meds...just for any wondering eyes they are all prescribed medications.

I plan on doing some work from home today. My mommy is leaving me tomorrow, so that will be difficult. She is heading to Indianapolis, picking up the Doty crew and heading to Middletown for the great balloon race.

James has been a golden child while Mommy has been sick. He plays alot on his own in the living room and comes and hangs out with me on the couch and gives me big hugs and kisses which is definitley the best medicine. Dadddy has also been a hero, taking care of bath and bedtimes.

That is all from here.

Surgery

Well, I survived surgery. It was unpleasant as surgery tends to be. I was not able to make it back to work today as I had hoped. I am still in to much pain. I tend to be in the most pain the morning and it gets better throughout the day. So, my hope is to return to work tomorrow, even if only for the afternoon.

Unfortunately, I am not the only one sick, on Saturday Alex came down with something. He went to the doctor today and he has strep throat!

Luckily for us, and unlucky for her, Grandma Karen has been here to take care of us...all of us. She is getting paid with James kisses though, which I think is good enough for her.

Later.

The Police Concert

Well the Police Concert was on Monday night, my sister Anne and her friend Kelly and I went to the concert. Before the concert though we had a lovely dinner at Landry's at Union Station with Mom, my sister Jen and her boyfriend Wally.

After dinner we headed to the concert. The Concert was AMAZING, PHENOMENAL, as our horribly expensive tickets ended up being worth every penny. We were placed on the side of the stage with Sting standing on that side of the stage and he was only about 30 to 40 yards away, so if you know me at all, you know how big of Sting fan I am, that was...well words can't describe. Oh, and the music was AWESOME as well. The first song was Message in a Bottle, and the last song of the night was Every Breath You Take. So, we heard the greatest hits and more!

One of the bad things about are tickets were that they were in three separate spaces, but two of them were in the same row. A very nice man willingly switched with us (because I was not shy about asking!) In the end two of tickets were together. Then half way through the show, Anne and I switched tickets so we each got about equal time in the amazing seats. The other seat was directly across from the other seats, and only about 10 rows up from the other seats, so that seat was actually really good as well. I could go on and on about the concert, but I will not. Needless to say....I am very happy I went.

Tomorrow is surgery, I will post again as soon as you can.
