Friday night Pher left. He said he's be home on Monday. (Todd and I are thinking about renting out his room to a tennant.) Cameron stayed with a friend on Friday and the friend stayed with us on Saturday. Emma hung out at home Friday and Saturday and then spent the night with a friend on Sunday. It's hard to keep up with three social kids.
Saturday night Todd and I met friends at a bar and had a great time. It was my first post-surgical "outing." We saw a fantastic guitar player (Michael Kelsey). Todd was by my side the entire night making sure I was comfortable. I appreciate his care and concern, but I do need a little elbow room.
Sunday Todd and I went to Bill and Val's for an "end of the summer" party. We ALWAYS have fun with Bill and Val. Bill made meat and Margaritas, we all brought a side to share. Unfortunately Bill burned up his blender on Margarita batch #2. Todd to the rescue... Todd ran home to pick up Emma and deliver her to the sleepover. He grabbed our blender and Billy was back in business. (We know how it feels. We burned up a blender at midnight many, many years ago. I looked next door and the neighbors were still up. I ran next door, asked to borrow their blender, and the Barbtender was ready to blend again!) We stayed at Bill and Val's for about 3 1/2 hours. My belly and back started aching, and it was time to go. Todd brought me home and made me comfortable.
Monday was a wash... a complete wash. I overdid Saturday and Sunday. On Monday my body let me know it. I was bed and couch-ridden. Thank goodness Todd understands the ups and downs of recuperation. I gave the illusion of being on the mend and then WHAM back down I went. The Tea Party Express was in South Bend, IN on Monday. I wanted to make the drive up just to be a part of it. However, I didn't even mention it to Todd. Turns out it wasn't THAT important.
