Lazy Day

Christmas is over. Yay!.................and we had a nice time but, Yay! So now it's time to start thinking about filing my income taxes and organizing all the papers I should have kept organized throughout the year................and paying another semesters worth of tuition........and painting the living room.........and looking at the job ads.............but today I'm going to go to the movies with my friend, and out for a nice dinner.....................and I'm going to order some books online from Barnes and Nobles with the gift certificate my sister gave to me for Christmas.
Son and daughter went shopping yesterday to return Christmas gifts that didn't fit, or that they didn't like. It was cool seeing them hang out together. They don't usually get along so well. Daughter idolizes her older brother..........he can do no wrong in her eyes. I think middle son feels a little left out and he's been trying to improve his relationship with his sister. Maybe because they're closer in age they have a more difficult time getting along with each other? Whatever the case, it was good seeing them make an effort.......and it's soooooo great that I didn't have to do any post Christmas shopping!
My mom looks healthy. It wasn't too long ago that she weighed a mere 90 something pounds, was pale and weak.............this year she was able to put up her Christmas tree without help, cook for an army of people, and of course do Christmas shopping.............she's gained weight.................she's even a little chubby..lol.....cracks me up. She's taking a new cardiac med. and apparently she feels pretty good. She hasn't had any GI bleeding since the last time.......I'm optimistic that she's going to be okay for awhile.
I've had several invites to travel for the new year. I've been invited to go to the following places:
1. Las Vegas. My boss invited me to go with her in Feb. I doubt I'll go. We'll see.
2. I've been invited to visit my friend, Fatou, in Dubai. She moved there many months ago. I miss her, and would love to go. The place looks beautiful in pictures.
3.Taiwan. One of the NPs I work with wants me to go with her. I have no desire to go......is that terrible?
4. Colorado. My friend wants me to meet his family, and I'd like to meet them..............I've been putting it off because we've been on again, off again so often that's its been difficult making a commitment to taking the trip........as of now, looks like we'll be going in June or July.
