Definitely looks very attractive but serves as a nice reminder to think before trying something new. I was told by my mom I am now to follow my dad's rule of not trying anything new while she's not home. Fair enough I can handle that.
So Tuesday bestie date was just Leah and I since everyone else had the flu and let's be honest the last thing I need Is flu germs. It was nice to get out just the two of us. We went to el charro against our better judgment but it sounded tasty. I was In the mood for an adult beverage after the day I had so I ordered what was called a "Ragin Rita". The fact that the price wasn't listed on the menu should have been a good indication it was going to be pricey but it definitely wasn't $9 delicious that's for sure! Also $2.50 for a tiny side of guacamole seems a bit much! All and all tho I had a great night and shared some laughs with my best friend and managed to not injure myself the rest of the day!
Wednesday we met up with my aunt and uncle at a brewery they had been telling us about. It was a little strange at first since they only had one low top table and I can't sit in a bar stool. SO everyone else was up high and I was over there chilling at the end of the table. I typically hate sitting at the head of the table as it is but I felt like this drew even more attention to me. I had another really fun night out tho with an amazing group of people! 
Thursday After my second almost fall, I emailed my doctor to question the sudden change/weakness in my knees. She wanted to see me but since I am currently out of state for the time being upped my dosage of prednisone back to 60/30mg alternating days. This news really put me in a bad mood. I was so happy to finally be getting down lower in doses of my steroids in hopes my face would start returning to previous shape and now they are being upped. Between that and the expensive realization of purchasing my own health insurance to stay on with my doctors and treating after the 1st I was a total negative Nancy.
I had plans to go out with friends and was in such a terrible mood.
Went out with Jeff, Janine and Jason (J to the 3rd power) and had a really good time guess just goes to show you the power of a really good time and good friends :) And the hilarious things strangers say when they think they have walked in on something In the bathroom when really your just getting your chair in the stahl and walker ready haha
The weekend was a relaxing one which was nice since I felt like I had been running around all week last week being crazy.
Saturday Vanessa came by the house and we just hung out. It was nice I hadn't seen her in quite some time and it was good to just relax and be silly and talk shit just between the 2 of us. I was able to let her in through the sliding door but then was paranoid all day that the gate wasn't fully closed. Leave it to me to be a worrier about the smallest of things.
While enjoying our pizza we had watched part of an episode of extreme cheapskates. I've never seen this show before but I couldn't believe it! A women threw her daughter a wedding for less than $1000 the dinner included cheese sandwiches and chips and salsa. Oh and it was bring your own alcohol. I would be beyond annoyed if I was attending ha ha.
Later in the evening after Vanessa left Jeff came over and we had a nice family evening listening to some holiday tunes and just hanging out. I was beyond exhausted but yet could not fall asleep after Jeff left.
Fell asleep after 2 and woke up at 8am. Shoot me now
Had lunch plans with my friends I used to work with at noon so I attempted to get some more sleep without any luck.
Lunch with the ladies was great had a good time and made it home before the snow really started coming down. They were big fluffy snow flakes. The kind I like to watch come down from inside with a nice cup of hot cocoa. Granted it was cold but not too cold snide my hands still felt like they were a 180 degrees as per usual.
Spent a few hours wrapping Christmas gifts for the nephew and Besties. It was a lot more difficult with numb hands and trying to manuever the scissors. I think the most difficult thing was trying to get a comfortable position to do so. Usually when I wrap gifts I lean over the bed to do so and I can't do that now. It's funny how many things I never in a million years would have thought would be more difficult are! Anyhow I managed to get all the gifts I had here wrapped just waiting on a few more to arrive.
Walked about 10 steps or so without shoes on. (With both parents present in case of a fall, following moms rules) it was both scary and yet gratifying to do so since it's one of those things that I always feel like is never going to happen again. Having to put on shoes to have to pee is getting old!
Woke up with a terrible face ache I will call it. The kind where the inside of your nose is so raw but yet the mucus has drained all night from your nose causing your throat to feel a razor was actually what was in your nose. A nice dose of sudafed and robitussin didn't do the trick but Tylenol severe cold and flu seemed to.
***Was able to open front door while in wheelchair! Woohoo achievement unlocked level up!***
Samantha came over to hang out and we exchange our Christmas gifts. She got me a really cool skull print that hopefully I can get framed when I get home and hang it somewhere close cuz it makes me smile! After a bit of back and forth we decided to leave the house for dinner. Although my legs were feeling pretty good something happens when I hit that 20 degree weather it's like my muscles are screaming "it's too damn cold" and my joints agree and lead a mutiny lol. I even was rocking some stylish leg Warmers!
We parked in a handicap spot which was literally next to the door and by the time we got inside my face and hands felt numb (cold numb not usual numb) that's now my gauge for the weather, if my hands actually feel cold it's damn cold outside lol.
Anyhow had a great time just hanging out and being silly
Finally fell asleep around 1 and woke up at 4! Gotta love insomnia and all versions of it. It's now 6:30 and I am hoping I can fall asleep soon after finishing this blog. Guess maybe my mind is always thinking too much which leads to sleepless nights. It also doesn't help that people are always giving me stuff to think about.
Sometimes I wish they wouldn't even tell me but then I would probably be mad if they didn't.
Today is bestie Tuesday!
Finally going to National Coney Island after over a month of being here. That used to be one of my first stops but it's a bit different this time around to get there since I can't drive.
Speaking of which major shout out to my friends & family that aren't worried about having to load all my crap up in your car (you know who you are) and realize I am still the same person just a bit different. I know that it is shocking for some people when they see me rocking my walker like Frankenstein but I'm making the best of a shitty situation I've been given. I couldn't do it without all of you and thank my lucky stars daily!
Ok before I go getting too sentimental I think I should try and get some sleep so I'm not Cranky pants later today!
As soon as whoever is driving this loud ass vehicle outside my window decides to leave that is!
Things I'm looking forward to this week:
Bestie day
Kattee's birthday painting class
Toby Keith's I love this bar & grill
Finamore Christmas
