Time to Rest

I came home today, Totally wiped out. My back hurt, my body was just tired.
So on my visit to the doctor I discovered the reason for my HEAT and TIRED and Running to the bathroom as soon as I eat.
Yes it is the hormone that is dropping.
Of course he is doing nothing until after my January testing.
Why bother, He will drop it anyway.
I am sitting her sweating beads of water and I need another shower.
He did not expound on "Why they are dropping," He just noted they are lower than last time and the time before and Now What?
I will be happy to get January over with and back to normal.
I think  I Will begin my testing on January the 28, or whatever the last Monday is in that month.
Monday Shot
Tuesday Shot,
Wednesday Radiation,
Friday, Blood test and  Body Scan.
That week is shot. (No pun intended)  I talked to my boss and she suggested as late in January as possible,  January is a busy month for us.
OK by me, but I want to get this heat off my body.
Man I sweat through my head.

In other news, My kitty is sick. Not sure what is going on but he is just lying around, not eating and letting me carry him.
If you know Smokey he is not a cat that likes handling, He can take petting and rubbing but no picking up.
Today David said, "Honey I do not know what is wrong with Smokey but he has been lying by our door all day"
I go out and talk to him, Pet him and he just lies there. Little movement.
Later I pick him up and take him to the Rec Room. I have a pillow in there, A pillow he uses in the summer on the porch.
I lay him on the pillow and he just curled up and slept.
Not like him at all. After two hours he has not moved until about 5 minutes ago.
I walked out and petted his lower back. He raised his back body up, He is feeling better.
We are letting him stay inside until he is better.
No we do not let cats or dogs in the house, as a rule, but I refuse to let him die outside, unloved or uncared for.
He is our baby cat and he has been at our side for 7 years and literally at our side.
When we walk he walks with us,When we work he is right beside us, He is a such a good kitty.
I just hope he is OK.

More news. Ken can not make it down Christmas. That is OK. I do not expect someone to load up presents, 6 kids and reload the van to go back home. That is a lot of work and a lot of money.
So I may have a new guest on Christmas. Her name is Pat.
When I first started in July, I noted her demeanor. Just walk in , take a sample and walk on.
One day I asked her name. From then on I always called her by name and said "Hello" I would try to make conversation but she was pretty shy.

This week, as I was working at my counter, She walked up, I was busy bending over pulling out merchandise.
I asked. "Pat what do you do on Christmas?"
Her response, "OH Nothing."
I asked, "Do you have children?"  "NO"
"Do you have family?" "NO, Well I do have a brother in Alaska I have not seen in many years."
"So you spend it alone?" " Yes and I usually work"
( Pat is a motel room cleaner, This I found out today.)
So I asked, "Pat will you come to my house for Christmas dinner, I assure you, You will really like my husband and it will be just be the two of us."
Her face literally lit up. I can still see the smile that engulfed her entire face.
She hesitated, " I will probably work"
I told her, "OK you think about it, I will pick you up and take you home or back to work, Whatever you need."
Now when she comes in , her face is still beaming. I think she just needed someone to notice her and take an  interest.
She told me, "Sue I am, still thinking about it."
that is good enough, I do not want to pressure her but Yesterday I asked, "Pat what is your favorite main dish?'
First she said, "turkey," then "No I have turkey for Thanksgiving then I have Ham for Christmas"
I was happy about that, "I love ham" I told her. Now Ham is on my list.
It will be very traditional, Ham, Yams, Mashed, Gravy, Beans and Pumpkin Pie and homemade rolls.

This is something I always wanted to do, I just hope she can make it.
Oh in that, Sheri can I buy a scarf for her, from you.? She will  love it and I will pay postage and for the scarf. YES I insist on paying. Those are beautiful scarfs.
So now my Christmas is planned and we will have a beautiful purpose. I will miss my babies but I know they will understand Mamaw and Papaw can not make trips as often as we used to.
Maybe after the holidays we can go down.
Right now, we are pretty tired after a day of working and on Davids last therapy appointment, His incision looked bad and it was red and hot. They inflamed the tissues inside.
He never complains, He thinks pain is part of the healing process, Maybe he is right.
According to my Doctor, " Pain is NOT Gain"
Of course that is Heart Pain they do not want me to have.
