I STILL HAVE AN OWIE!!

I STILL HAVE A BIG LIP, AND A CROOKED SMILE FROM THIS STUPID ABSCESSED TOOTH.  I THOUGHT BY THIS MORNING IT WOULD BE GONE, BUT I GUESS IT IS NOT QUITE READY TO LEAVE JUST YET.  I EVEN GOT UP FOR MY 3:30AM PILL, JUST TO HELP IT ALONG, BUT I GUESS IT COULD NOT TAKE EITHER THE HINT OR THE HIKE!!  I HAVE A COUPLE THINGS GOING ON THIS AM.. I HAVE THE INS. LADY (KATE) COMING BY TO FIX MY POLICY SO THAT WHEN I PASS-EACH ONE OF OUR CHILDREN GET 1/3 OF NOT MUCH AFTER THEY PAY FOR MY CREMATION.  I WONDER IF I SHOULD TAKE CARE OF THAT NOW-BUT I THINK IT MIGHT BE TOO SOON AFTER WE ALL JUST DEALT WITH SUCH A MAJOR TRAGEDY IN OUR LIVES.  ANY HOW, I HAVE A TRIP TO CA. COMING UP THAT I AM VERY EXCITED ABOUT.  THOSE GIRLS OF MIKE & LAURA ARE GROWING IN LEAPS AND BOUNDS, AND I NEED TO GET SOME GRANDMA LOVING BEFORE THEY GET TOO BIG FOR ALL THOSE KISSES.  YESTERDAY WAS SUCH A LAZY DAY FOR ME.  I JUST TOOK PILLS AND RESTED UNTIL IT WAS TIME FOR MY NEXT PILLS.  I DID GO AND WORK OUT WITH MY SISTER VICKIE AFTER MY DENTIST VISIT, AND THEN WE WENT TO COSTCO, AND TO ALDI'S FOR A FEW THINGS.  I MADE US AN AVOCADO SANDWICH ON CUBAN BREAD FOR LUNCH, AND THAT WAS YUMMY, BUT I HAD TO CUT IT UP TO EAT IT.  WELL, I HAVE FED MY DOGIES, AND THEY ARE SO SPOILED.  I HATE LEAVING THEM, BUT CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW I CAN TAKE THEM WITH ME.  THEY ARE SO CLOSE TO ME RIGHT NOW-SINCE MIKE PASSED.  THEY HARDLY LET ME OUT OF THEIR SIGHT.  I DO FEEL BAD FOR THEM, BUT PEOPLE MUST COME BEFORE ANIMALS, (EVEN IF THEY SEEM ALMOST HUMAN).  I THINK THE TRIP WILL BE REALLY GOOD FOR CANYON TOO, AS HE WILL BE GOING WITH ME.  HE HAS GOTTEN SO TALL AND HAS GROWN UP SO FAST.  WE FEEL SOMETIMES WHEN THEY ARE YOUNG THAT THEY WILL NEVER GROW UP, THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THEY ARE AND THEY HAVE CHILDREN OF THEIR OWN.  I HAVE LOVED BEING A MOM, AND ALSO A GRAND MA, I AM SO EXCITED TO ALSO BE A GREAT GRAND MA (NANA)!!  LIFE THOUGHT VERY HARD AT TIMES AND SAD, ALWAYS HAS SURPRISES AROUND THE CORNER IF WE JUST HANG IN THERE.  TILL TOMORROW, I HAVE TO GET DRESSED NOW.  I HAVE BEEN WATCHING TWO RED CARDINALS SITTING ON MY BACK SCREEN DOOR AS I WROTE THIS. THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY  BEAUTIFUL. JUST ME
