Gray Days

One of the biggest reasons I prefer Florida to Ontario in the winter is the high number of gray, dreary days we have up here in the north.  I guess I have that lack of sunlight syndrome where too many gray days get me down.  

I had my shower this morning and changed the bandages.  I'm usually terribly squeamish about sores but I guess I've matured and can now take care of it without gagging.  We all have to grow up some time and I guess it's happened to me.

I took one of the clonazepam pills last night to see if they worked well enough to help me sleep if and when I get to go to Florida.  I think they helped a little too much so I won't take them again.  Tylenol PM or Advil PM work very well and don't make me sleep for as long.  Whenever I take a trip I have to take something to make me sleep because I get too excited and can't sleep.   Being tired is not a good way to start a long drive.

Cindy has the go-ahead from her boss to drive down with me but she still has to get the okay from her doctor.  I need my okay from the dermatologist and I need to make sure we have 2 clear days for driving.  I'll check the weather report every day to see if there are any changes but so far it looks good.

It will be nice to have my life back so I can at least make definite plans to do what I want.  It's a pain in the butt to be kept dangling because of indefinite circumstances.

Faye and Donna came over for Swedish weaving/knitting yesterday and we're going to use our last Tuesday (hopefully) next week to go for dinner at La Spaghett.  My diet goes out the window at that place because the food is so rich and delicious.  Good thing I just go there once or twice a year.

My plans for today were to go to the casino but my make-up mirror just died on me so maybe I'll just go shopping for a new one at Walmart.  Now, if I was in Florida, I'd be shopping with friends and then having a nice lunch with lots of laughter and good conversation.  Maybe soon.
