It has been cold lately, I am glad I have a heater in my room and I can set it for eight hours at about 72 degrees and I still rotate from bed to recliner at night. I take two Acetaminophen at about 10:00pm but I still get pain at night. I am learning to live with the pain. I am reading the book of the life of Frank Dennis, it is very interesting. He is my age was born in September of 1929. I am a slow reader; I like to consecrate on what I read. Maybe Alan will be able to work on my computer things, as now he has finished working with the church things. It is nice to have Alan here, now Alden is back to teaching again. I stay in my room most of the time, as I can keep my room at a good temperature.

 Up early get dressed and make my bed relax for a short time then go for my breakfast which was scrambled eggs and left-over fried potatoes and hot water with my daily pills. Alden and I played our brain game and I won two games and Alden won one game. I went to my room and checked for things on the computer. Lunch was soup and crackers. Afternoon was a nap and computer games and puzzles. Evening meal was a green salad, 1/2 baked potato and vegies.

Last night was Alan's first night here and he did not sleep on the floor, as he said it is getting hard for him to sleep on the floor "I guess the age is creeping up on him," but he slept on the pull-out bed that is in the family room.  I caught him sneaking a snooze on my bed today. Yes, my old 67-year-old bed is still great. We went to The Pancake House for lunch, it is always great food and close to here. Alan and Alden went to a game tonight.

 Alden made my breakfast which was oatmeal with raisins and banana and a cup of hot water to go with my daily pills. Alden helped me to find out why I never received the sweatshirt from Walmart that was ordered Dec. 27,2024, so they finally just gave me a credit on my account. May be when Alan comes he can take me to Walmart to get a sweatshirt as I would like to have a sweatshirt now in this cold weather. It is almost 6:30pm and Alan has not arrived, I guess there is a lot of traffic, I pray for his safety when he drives down here. Goody he just came to give me a big hug. Did I forget to blog Sunday?

Now I am glad that I received my cousins, and I can sit in my recliner with no pressure on my tailbone. I am still waiting for my sweatshirt with Mom, Grandmother and Great grandmother. I did more reading of the Decision. There was also time spent on the computer to check news and what is going on. I see that there are storms of snow etc. I SKYPED with Alan after he came to the U.S., I will be glad to see him in person.

 Up early and get dressed, then make my bed and have a few minutes in my recliner as I don't want to stay very long as I still have not gotten my cushions yet. McKenna came to apply a new patch on my tailbone sore. It is getting better. Lunch was pasta and green salad. Afternoon was reading the Decision and rest time. Evening meal was a small piece of chicken and soup.
