sunday

I got up early yesterday to ready myself for a day of shopping with daughter.
I had cleaned the house the day before so that I would not feel guilty for spending my day shopping.
I also made sure that boyfriend had a breakfast and lunch easily warmed in the microwave in the refrigerator.
I almost finished my Christmas shopping while with daughter. I had already shopped many of the things I needed online...so that made yesterday easier.
I think all I have left to buy is a gift for my oldest sister, and cat nip for the kitties.
I had a fun day yesterday.
It's almost always fun spending time with daughter, or any of my adult children for that matter!

Boyfriend burned his hand a couple of weeks ago.
He boiled water on the stove to make an instant coffee drink. He thought he was pouring the water in his cup but was actually pouring the water over his hand( he couldn't feel the hot water on his skin. the neuropathy from the chemo is that bad..) that was holding the cup.
He ended up with a pretty bad burn and yet he refused to go to the hospital/urgent care.
We've been treating the burn ourselves much to my dismay.
I think though that it finally looks like it is going to heal without becoming infected. Huge relief.....

Oh no! I am so sorry for your boyfriend and his burn! The neuropathy is sounding horrendous! I am glad the burn seems to be healing without infection.

Do you have a microwave oven? It might be best to encourage him to only use that for hot liquids until sensations are again felt in his hands. That is very scary.

It may be because I am a male.... but.... a day of shopping.... unfortunately seems like torture to me. I am very glad you enjoyed it, very glad you were able to spend time with your daughter, and very glad you looked forward to it. But... any way I can avoid going into a shopping establishment.... seems like a victory to me. :)

I hate to spend money Pipe but I love to shop! You figure it out! lol

I think many people hate to shop. I get it.

Boyfriends stubborn. He's going to cook even at the risk of getting burns.
