Tuesday will soon be here
I am almost to the day!! I am so excited, its getting me through this latest bout of weakness and fatigue. Still breathing and swallowing okay, though at times my chest knows its not happy.
I have a Christmas party at church with a women's group. I have been dreading this party because I have Grayson. Not that he will be bad, but toting him into church along with his walker and toys will leave me exhausted and I still have to endure the party and take Grayson and my friend Esther home. If Esther did not want to go, I would be staying home. I've done to evening Christmas parties already this week.
I have been putting off grocery shopping for the same reason. Seems I melt about halfway through Walmart. Tomorrow morning will have to be the day. Gray and I can play on the floor all afternoon.
Need to start buying and wrapping. I dream of having energy by Christmas and not having to force myself to do things. I'm down to 5 minutes at a time at most activities and exercise.
Saturday I have a funeral to cook/work for. It is a dear friend's Mother-In-Law. She had a good long life. I would rather be attending the funeral than in the kitchen. I will need strength, but at least I do not have to worry about dropping the baby.
I've really been dropping hints that I want to go to the National MG conference... We will see.

Sweetie,
If you are waiting for me to tell you that you have too much on your plate for the state that you are in, here it is. But I think you know that. So I will just remind you that the most important thing is to be alive and home with your family at Christmas, especially with Grayson the cruiser who is going to be harder and harder to keep up with and will bear some bruises in the process no matter what you do. Love ya, b.
WOW! Just tired me out thinking of all you plan o do. Note I did not say have o as I always believe here are options. Do be careful. I know I like to think that when the mestinon gives out, my stubborness takes over but I am finally starting to realize that sometimes that stubborness is a mask for stupidity on my part. Please take care. Most important, I think, is celebrating Christmas at home with family and friends.I would rather have bowl of soup with family and friends at home thn a five course meal at the hospital. Will be praying for you.
I did survive the day. I came home and did nothing much of the rest of the day. Yesterday, I got my 101 year old friend and her baby sister out to lunch after my grocery shopping, so spent the rest of the day on the couch and then in bed. I really have been letting a lot of my responsibilities go, but I am POA for healthcare for the 101 y.o. and the lady I had arranged to take her out has cancer now...I did see an acquaintance while out with them that offered to take her out once in a while, so I may have gained an ally there. Tuesday is almost here. Now I just need to get through this funeral today...
Debbie, prayers for strength for the up coming days my friend!
luv ya
Annette
