Last night I met Veronica’s parents for the first time. They are here visiting over the Easter holidays. I went to Patrick and Veronica’s apartment for dinner with all of them. Dinner was great and they are fabulous people. We chatted for a few hours and I’m looking forward to having all of them over for Easter dinner on Sunday.

Lots will be happening during the next week and I’m not sure how I’m going to get everything done. Fortunately I am off work at 11:30 am tomorrow and all day on Monday. Have a dentist appt. tomorrow and a doctor’s appt. on Monday. Will try to get some shopping done tomorrow in between leaving work and showing up at the dentist at 1:30 pm. Then will get started on getting the house cleaned for Easter. Hope I can get enough done so that I have time to do a bit of yard work as well.

Of course, all of the above listed work depends on my body cooperating. My right hip and leg are still giving me quite a bit of pain. It seems to be letting up a bit, but still hurts when I try to bend down or when I sit or lay down. Sleeping is difficult and I can’t seem to stay in bed more than about 6 hours before the pains start. Since the pain does seem to be a little bit less each day, I’m hopeful I may be able to get enough accomplished in the way of housecleaning this weekend. We’ll have to wait and see….

And then I have to start packing for Seattle! I leave next Friday……finally! With all that I have to do here and at work, the time will fly by so I plan to get as much packing done as possible on Monday while I’m off work. I don’t want to wait until the last minute and be up all night on Thursday. Thankfully I should be able to get by with just one suitcase.

Well, I’m going to go pop a vicodin and hope it gives me a bit more relief than the ibuprofin I’ve been taking. At least it should knock me out so that I don’t notice (or don’t care about!) the pain in my hip/leg.
