A Different Kind of Santa and An Embarrassing Guilty Pleasure
UPS, my brown clad Santa, keeps coming with more packages ordered by the ostomy nurse. Who knew adhesives and plastics could be so exciting. Today I received something called "New Hope" Clever, huh. I can't help wondering what the UPS guy thinks. "Boy this girl gets a lot of packages, she must be a shop-a-holic." "I wonder if this girl has a job" "Why does it take her so long to get to the door, I can see her on the couch". "Wow, does this girl live in her pajamas" "Ooh, cute slippers." : D
What I'm wondering is...am I going to get billed for these things or does insurance cover them? and "Wanna come in and have some Peppermint tea, I'm bored here by myself?"
When I finally go back to working a full day, do you know what I'll miss? Little House on the Prairie re-runs. Today was the Mary going blind episodes from 10-12. They show two episodes in a row and I can watch and work at the same time. I hope I get to see some Almonzo episodes. I always thought it was cute that Laura called him "Manly". haha.
I've also gotten into watching cheezy makeover shows. How awful, huh. How superficial...another extension of reality t.v. that I am sadly, sadly sucked in to. It's funny, sometimes I think the people looked better before the makeovers...not always, but once in a while. Today, there was this guy who dressed in a tshirt and peasant skirt. I thought he was really attractive. The makeover looked good...but he looked like a completely different guy and I would have been more attracted to the pre-makeover version of him...the crunchie looking guy with bushy curly hair vs. the Tom Cruise looking guy.
I'm thankful that I am now able to be comfortable enough sitting to watch t.v. for more than one show. That's been a recent development

I am glad you are actually enjoying yourself a bit at home. I wish I had a day off to come and see you and watch re-runs too. Keep feeling better!

Ahh, Manly... Remember that time he gets so sick and has to be in that bathtub of ice!! YIKES!! I have a surprise for you. Do you want a visit on Friday? (that's not the surprise) I'm available during the day. Fire me off an email or I'll call you. I'm finally all caught up on reading your blogs. It was great!
