Well I kinda was late to work this morning. After my long day yesterday I just couldn’t bring myself to get up. So I got to work and 30 min later we took lunch. We came back and dumped the truck from new years and then took all of our many packages over to UPS. Lane has gone ebay crazy. After work I went to hallmark to look for a get well gift for Kirsten. Wow what a crappy Hallmark. They had nothing there at all. Not even much in cards. So I decided to go over to Wallmart and see if maybe they had a cute bear or something. On my way there I decided maybe Michael’s would be a better choice. I wanted a bear with it’s head wrapped in a bandage. So I found a bear and picked out a white sweater for it. and proceeded to find some ribbon with which to wrap the bears head. Along the way I found some fake flower and thought it would be cute if the bear were holding a bouquet. I tore apart a bigger arrangement to make what I needed and in the process got yelled at by this old lady that I think worked there. I told her that I planned on buying the whole thing. I looked around to find some scissors. You wouldn’t think that to be a difficult thing to find in a craft store, but man was it. I eventually found some and completed my creation. I also picked up a sparkly blue gel pen to sign the card that I still needed to get. Luckily there was a much better Hallmark in the same shopping center. Got the card and wrote in it and signed it in the car. As I was writing it began to rain.
Next I was on my way to Kirsten’s house to deliver the gift. I got there and luckily she was awake. She was happy to see me. I gave her the bear and card along with a big hug. I sat and talked with her for a while. We talked about how she was doing and about school and also she asked me about Amanda and I. We talked for quite a while. We then went in to see what Mamma D and the gang were doing. I went upstairs to say hi to John and check out how the build was going. Their house is going to look great when it is done. John will really have something to be proud of. He is basically rebuilding the entire house and adding a second story. He is doing all the work himself. I think it is really cool how much he is putting in to it.
We went downstairs to have dinner, but Kirsten wasn’t feeling well again so she didn’t join us. She had been throwing up all day and had a really bad headache. So it ended up that pretty much all of the meal we had was stuff I didn’t really like. I ended up trying a bunch of new stuff. We had ham, broccoli, cauliflower, sour creme potatoes, and rolls. I ended up eating all of it. Chris joined us for dinner too. He wasn’t going to eat anything, because he didn’t like it either, but we forced him to eat it too. It really wasn’t all that bad.
After dinner we sat down and watched “Bad Boys II” Chris had brought it over. During the movie Lucy came by to see Kirsten. Kirsten woke up again and talked with Lucy for a while and then they turned on a movie too. Kirsten fell asleep a bit more. After the movie Chris, Lucy and I decided we should go. So we said our goodbyes and went home.
I was reading in some of Mamma D’s medical books about concussions and I am kinda concerned about what I read. I hope Kirsten will recover well and soon.
