First time that I have ever attended 2 full 3-hour blocks on a Sunday.  I did consider only part of either, but it seemed a reasonable choice to make it through all 6 hours.  Add to that our ward choir practice and an appointment where we were called as 'zombie assistants' and we spent a lot of time in church.  Another one and 1/2 hours driving and you can understand how much we appreciated just 'chillin' when we were finally able to just be home, relax, and sit down.  It has been a long day.  Certainly good because we spent time with family and Avery gave her grumpa smiles before getting too fussy.  Shauni was the consummate host and fed us before we played hide and go seek, mostly with Abigail.  I really don't want to go back to work tomorrow, but....

Last night was the first time in 3 weeks plus that I slept all night in my bed.  Since my episode I have had to get up and sleep some either in the chair in the living room or my chair in our bed room or both.  I even laid on the massage table that I set up in our bed room. But the pain is gone enough to allow me to sleep in my own bed.  I still feel twinges and my range of motion isn't 100 %, but I am so relieved to be this near normal.   My hopes are high that this coming week will be good to me and for me and I will be good to and for Sheila and others and I am looking forward to it.
