Good evening!
I have just gotten home with my sweetie, and I am sitting here with my girls keeping me warm! I have to tell you that I am feeling so much better than I have in the past few days! Thank you for all of the get-well-wishes, your encouragement means a lot to me!
We finished decorating for Christmas in the office today. I just love that!! We have Christmas garland, a tree, lights, ornaments, ribbon, etc. etc. It just makes the whole place feel warmer, cozier somehow! Plus add Christmas music to the mix and it just makes it feels so much easier to be there.
Jason is busy making me another hat. I know he had made me one already, but he liked it so much that he confiscated it for himself and I don’t ever get a chance to where it myself, so he is now in the process of making me another one! YEAH!! I can’t wait to wear it!
Update on my tattoo…well, it is still healing, looking like a peeling sunburn at this point, and the feet are really blurry, but I am told that is because it still healing. I hope they are right, because I will be sad if it doesn’t look like the feet print I first remember seeing! They were super cute, and I haven’t seen them since! I was hoping that, now that it has been almost a month they would be healed, but apparently not yet. I will keep you posted!!
