Christmas Sunday

Well, that's done. It's out of the way, so I won't have to do that again. What, you might be asking, in the world is the moose talking about this time?

Well, you see . . . at least ONCE each winter I must, simply must, fall down in the ice or snow. Today was my day - and, so I don't need to do it again this winter. Ta-dah!

Hubby and I go out for breakfast each Saturday and Sunday. It's a routine we have followed for several years. On Sundays, I generally wear my black birks with my dress or Sunday go to meeting slacks - instead of my winter/snowmachine boots that I would wear with jeans and such. Today was such a day - good looks overcame good sense. I wore the birks.

Fine going in, but coming out . . . well, have you ever seen a moose take a tumble in what seems like slooooooooooowwwwwwww motion? Up one minute and down the next. Newspaper and purse went one way - car keys went the other way - and I landed on my left arm. Hubby says stay still, stay still a minute. I say something inane like but my butt is getting cold - and wet here in the snow. And, so he helps me up.

Midway through Sunday School Bible study my left arm began to hurt and I had to take some excedrin. Fortunately I had two with me.

Nope - pretty sure there is not a break. I think it is soft tissue damage - muscle tear perhaps. Certain movements are more painful than other movements. I'll see how it feels in the morning - whether or not I go in to see the doctor about it. Not sure there is much they could do for it other than to immobilize perhaps. So, we will see.

I'm tuff. It's not broken. Carry on, moosie, carry on. ;-) heh.

Daughter #1 and her family came down this evening to share dinner and Christmas goodies with us. What fun. Esp. the gift we got for SIL. I hope that daughter posts the picture - in which case I will either point you there or steal it and post it here. ;-)) Yes, we are ornery like that.

It's amazing how much noise three youngsters can generate in our small house. Amazing - and so thrilling to my heart. We love to hear them enjoy themselves.

Tomorrow we get to do it again - with daughter #2 and family. yay!

'night, all
