Some Christmas Cheer


Anwyn

Recommended Posts

My hubby forwarded these to me... Merry Christmas everybody! :(

Twas the day after Christmas, and all

through the house,

Every creature was hurting, even the mouse.

The toys were all broken, their batteries dead,

Santa passed out, with some ice on his head.

Wrapping and ribbons just covered the floor,

While upstairs the family continued to snore.

And I in my T-shirt, new Reebox and jeans,

Went into the kitchen and started to clean.

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,

I sprang from the sink to see what was the matter.

Away to the window, I flew like a flash,

Tore open the curtains and threw up the sash.

When what to my wondering eyes should appear

But a little white truck, with an oversized mirror.

The driver was smiling, so lively and grand;

The patch on his jacket said "U.S. Postman."

With a handful of bills, he grinned like a fox;

Then quickly he stuffed them into our mailbox.

Bill, after bill, after bill, they still came.

Whistling and shouting, he called them by name.

"Now Dillard's, now Broadway's, now Penny's

and Sears

Here's Levitz's and Target's and Mervyn's - all here!

To the tip of your limit, every store, every mall,

Now charge away, charge away, charge away all!"

He sprang to his truck, and he drove down the road,

Driving much faster with just half a load.

Then I heard him exclaim with great holiday cheer.

"Enjoy what you got - you'll be paying all year!"

(composer unknown)

AND THEN THERE WAS THIS COUPLE.....

Who had been debating buying a new vehicle for weeks.

He wanted a truck. She wanted a fast little sports car to

zip through traffic around town. He would have settled

on any ole beat up truck. But everything she liked was

way out of their price range.

" Look! " she said. "I want something that goes from

0 to 200 in just a few seconds. Nothing else will do.

Christmas is coming up, so surprise me!"

He did just that. For Christmas, he bought her a

brand-new bathroom scale.< /p>

Nobody has seen or heard from him since.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
