i wasn't here yesterday. i cleaned the kitchen floor and got a bunch of stuff done around here. this morning i decided to get to sam's and get what was on my list instead of waiting to do it tonight. i got some stuff for the wedding shower and when i got home, had messages of some people saying they were coming. so that was good news. i slept better last night. talked to my doctor's nurse yesterday and the doctor wanted me to try some ambien, only problem is i was just making fun of it the day before, it was saying one of the side effects was sudden death and i piped up and said well, i'd never take that. so it had kind of scared me off it. i'll just keep doing what i've been doing and that's nothing, if i sleep, i sleep, if i don't well, so what. dr. gannon thinks me not sleeping is due to my high thyroid levels that came back and when i go to her in april, they said they needed to decide how to treat me. i always knew i was high maintenance. i talked to kelly this morning. her and mark and elijah are coming to iowa next week. she said they were definitely coming to see us. i don't see how i could get away. i have alot to do before the shower. i experimented with some cookie dough this week and i can succesfully freeze cookie dough, let it thaw out and bake it. so will be doing that for the shower. i'm delighted with my experiment. i can have it ready to go whenever i want it now. plus bruce has the nebraska petroluem convention next tuesday and wednesday, we'll be home wednesday night. it always wears him out at the conventions. mom is doing somewhat better. she's still having some pain. she has been out and about the last couple of days. she went to lunch then to the store, this morning she was at walmart. well, bruce will be home soon for lunch so i better get.
