Today was a restful day. Hubby and I slept in until 11am and then I woke up slowly and he woke up in pain. He always wakes up in pain but he slept in more than 6 hours and his back was in spasms. Hubby had a disc herniate in his neck and start to bulge out sideways and was damaging the nerve for his arm. They had to slice down his neck and back to remove the muscles attached to the shoulder to get to the disc. This has caused him to be in pain if he sleeps more than 6 hours. He takes ibuprofen and prescription pain pills to help him be able to do anything.
I stayed in my jammies all day and played on the computer, downloaded a virus, and then read Flea Market Style magazine. Hubby got dressed and went to the store to get the ingredients to make rubens for a late lunch. Since it had been snowing all day, after he got back from the store, he shoveled the walks for us and our neighbors on both sides. Our neighbor to the north is an older couple, the wife is house-bound, and the neighbors to the south moved out. They are in the process of selling the house.
Eventually hubby came back inside and then cleaned up the kitchen, emptied the dishwasher then cooked the rubens. By now I was past the point of hungry and on the verge of nausea. But the rubens were worth the wait. We had them with tater tots. Now my mom had brought us up to believe that you eat poor on the first day of the year and then you will each well all the rest. Rubens are poor food, aren't they? By the same thinking, if you are lazy on the first day of the year, you will be productive on all the rest. Right?
After making our late lunch, early dinner, of which we both could only eat half of our sandwiches, we settled upstairs and watched Thursday night television. It was a quiet day and very restful. Tomorrow hubby has to work so I will be able to balance our checking account and see how much money we have left for all the spending I had done. We also picked up a pizza from the take and bake place for dinner tomorrow.
