A Tub, A Sleep Over And Some Chocolate Chip Cookies.

Imagine this...you are all alone.  The house is quiet.  You start running warm bath water.  You add some smell good oil.  The tub fills and you gently put yourself in to soak.  You are relaxing, telling yourself how good it feels to take a bath.  When suddenly, panic sets in!!!!!!  You realize, getting out of the bath tub is going to be a task!  It is as if you had forgotten the painful tumor in your spine and how much your tummy aches when you bend.  Oh but reality sets in...and you begin talking to yourself.  Saying things like "I am going to be stuck in here until my sister comes home" and "what the hell was I thinking getting into the tub with no one else home AND locking the bathroom door" - "what if they don't come home until late...I'll be a prune, I'll freeze".  Then you get it together, remembering you are "ok" and move very slowly to get out of the tub safely.  Ha ha ha! PHEW!!!!  That was a close call!!!!!!! I didn't prune either and my skin is all nice and silky smooth and soft.

There is a slumber party here at the Browning home tonight.  Sorry if you missed your invitation.  It's just kids!  Although, Barb did join us for dinner.  We had burgers and dogs and corn and "stuff". Home made chocolate chip cookies for dessert!
It was yummy.  I even treated myself to a very, very small pina colada.  Only half a glass after three big gulps...which would make it a full glass.  JUST JOKING!!  I didn't even finish it, so stop with that look Mom and Dad!!!!!  (My Aunt Gloria would be commenting on this too!)   We watched CARS and now they are all tucking in.  Of course, if you remember sleep overs from when you were a child, there will be lots of giggling and shhhhhhhhhhh ing before anyone actually sleeps! 

I'm taking Sarah (my 10 year old niece) to riding lessons tomorrow.  So, for all those reading who live in Mo County....I'll be in your neck of the woods.  If you have a minute and want to see me...I'm happy to do a "drive by".

Again, I have tons of comments today on different journal entries.  WOW!! is all I keep saying.  Reading all of the prayers and supportive words gives me more healing then any surgery or medication could ever do.  Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!                                                                                                                                                   
(Pamela just yelled up the stairs, "Girls go to sleep"...I told ya!!  Too funny!)

Two upchucking incidents.  Everything else, status quo.

I love y'all.  Thank you for continuing to share this journey with me.

Sweet dreams.
