Im not good at this
This journal thing isnt my thing. I never know what to write about or how to write it. I always fall way behind and have no energy to catch it all up. No good, no good attall. At this moment, I am waiting for my tea to steep. Its "breathe easy" tea. Still all stuffed up. Still cant taste a thing. Lets see.... its been 5 days of no taste. I HATE it. Food is no fun. I missed tasting TWO Christmas dinners in a row. Im worried. What if its permanent? What if I'll never taste again? What if I'll never smell the the cologne I bought for Kyle?
Yesterday we went to church and then hung around afterwards because Kyle wanted to see Dean and his wife and Dave also. It was nice to see them both. Kyle reminisced with Dean while I talked to bearded Davud. The reason for his beard was not because of the chill in Edmonton, oh no, of course it has to do with a girl. After that we left and went to the hospital and visited grandma. She was bright and cheery, much better than when we first visited her. We had a nice visit, she really enjoyed the singing and wished that we all could have sang another song. She'll be ready to come out soon. Then we went to Ann's house. Im supposed to be calling her mom. Anyway, her delightful friend Barb was there. Barb is like a fake aunt to Kyle and her parents were fake grandparents to him. She's Ann's best friend. The wonderful part is that she knows Ann well and sticks up for us whenever she gets to nagging or basically anything annoying, she intervenes. She's a nice compliment to Ann, a much more down to earth person. I like her. I think she should be invited every time we go there. We visited and then ate. Im sure the meal was delicious, but it couldnt taste even a tiny bit. Ann insisted on having a tiny drink of pop despite her diabetes, and then after dinner was quite easily agitated and was arguing non-stop with Kyle about whether or not her remote control for her satellite tv would work for her new dvd player we got her. She finally tested her blood sugar level and was WAY over, way way over. So her and I went for a walk. Apparently that helps. She walks really slow and we were gone for a half hour. We had a nice chat. She IS quite chatty. I like walking, I wish I did it more. There's always a reason not to it seems. We got back and had plum pudding, and it was the first time for me. couldnt taste. Then we opened gifts. Ann totally spoiled us so much. There was this huge box up to my waste for me. I was thinking what could she possibly have gotten me thats this big?! It was a karaoke machine! So cool. I was really surprised! She got Kyle a very expensive home theatre amplifier and speakers. On top of all this were clothes, a new skirt and sweater for me (ironically the sweater is one I already own) and a pair of overalls with a reindeer on the front. Im getting used to telling Ann that I dont were things like that. Of course she was so excited about them and thought they were really cute. Oh goodness.
We came home and payed Evan and Esther a visit. It seems whenever we go there, I end up talking to Esther the whole time and Evan and Kyle do something. Carmen had a bath while I was there, it was so cute, her little rolly polly body and her wet hair slicked to her head.
This morning Im in the mood to play my dance game but I dont know how to set it up. I hate being so dependant on Kyle for that stuff. I need more knowlege.
