I have no major complaints today. I am feeling alright. My only pain is a hurting gumline in the back of my mouth. I am trying to take care of it. It will take time, and that is something I sure do have. I feel good enough to go get spencer today and spend sometime with his grandma. That is a plus because doing that even makes me feel better and there is nothing wrong with wanting that.

His grandma is back home at her assisted living place. That is a plus. We had just decorated it with halloween stuff when she pulled this stunt of cracking her ankle. Now its Thanksgiving and we can put up those decorations for her. She is happy to be back home I know. Being in a hospital Bed for so long is draining on anybody. Nevermind that she is 82 years old.

As for me, I am grateful to be having another warming day of feeling okay. I will keep taking care of myself, lay back and relax my body and then go on my field trip out to my other family for the evening.

Here is another drawing I did. There is more I could do to it but I thought I would put another piece up here. I call it first kiss.
