Sleepover

Adrian, Aubrey, and Penelope decided that it would be fun to have grandma sleepover at their house Saturday night when their parents went out for the evening. It was a blast! Tim and Jen made us a wonderful supper before they left and we watched a movie and ate lots of popcorn. I'm sure they'll be finding popcorn in the couch and carpet for weeks!

I slept surprisingly well on the pull-out couch in the basement. Penelope was at the top of the stairs this morning at 6, calling Grandma. She came and snuggled and the boys joined us at 6:30. We played until 7:30 when they got hungry. Dad made them pancakes and sausages, while I came home to feed and let the dogs out. Then I took the kids to the Y for swimming and open play time. Being anyone's grandma is the best!!

I got home to discover that Tim had been here and cleared the end of my driveway where the plow had filled it in. Being anyone's mom is the best!

I continue to eat fairly well and feel quite good emotionally. I'm still having some minor drug side effects, but nothing I can't deal with, especially for a short term. I'm also feeling much more aware and present, for lack of a better word. I'm not feeling nothing, and seem to be managing what I'm feeling fairly well too.

I noticed something this afternoon that happened last week too. I got quite cold and then felt like I needed to eat. I did eat something extra, but in retrospect, I think maybe it was my body's way of letting me know that I hadn't had enough. Knowing that will help me not to judge myself about it. I think it's a good insight.

I'm off to bed. Love always, elly
