Things that have kept me sane the last week…
BySince I have been trapped in my house – and in only my bed for most of the time! – for the last week after having surgery there were a few things that I am thankful for that kept me from going insane. Although if I don’t get out soon the insanity will kick in! 
1. My family
2. Reba
3. HGTV
) are House Hunters, Property Virgins (although the name of this show is ridiculous to me I do like the show), and My First Place. I also like the show Flip this House which is on A&E. I couldn’t even tell you how many episodes of each of these I watched this week! It kept me from going crazy though! haha!4. Friends & extended family
I also had so many friends sending me messages through e-mail and facebook, checking on me, and wishing me well. That was sure nice to find when I managed to get on the computer!! (The nice thing about laptops is that you can ask your kids to bring you the computer in bed! haha!) I also had some nice phone calls from some who wanted to check on me and that was very comforting as well. 5. The thing that kept me most sane and comfortable though…
There are, of course, other things that helped me through the week but these honestly were the bulk of my week. It sounds nice to think of being in bed for a few days and not having to do anything but after a few days – especially once all the medication starts wearing off – it gets old fast! I’m glad to be doing well and that I’m able to get out of bed now. I still have to move slowly and take it really easy but it’s getting better all the time.
So glad you’re doing better!
I LOVE watching back-to-back episodes of tv whenever I can. I watch a lot of Hulu sometimes, especially old episodes of Arrested Development — love that show! One summer, Hubby and I watched a ton of Lost episodes and it was so fun!
And HGTV is awesome. House Hunters is my absolute favorite.
Thanks, Missy!
My husband has watched some stuff on Hulu, I think, and keeps telling me we should check some stuff out on there. I guess we really should do that.
We haven’t been regular watchers of “The Office” but people keep telling us it’s really good so he keeps saying we should watch that on there.
I love those HGTV shows, too! Although… I have avoided that one show just because of the name, even though I’m sure it’s clean and all, it bothers me when producers (or whoever decides those things) name a show something “naughty” or whatever, just to get people to watch. I say, “So there!” and don’t watch it.
Hahaha! I like House Hunters International, too! It’s so cool to see people buy houses overseas. Makes me think that, sometimes, it would be fairly doable to buy a house in another country — just the airfare to get there would be prohibitive!!
I hope you recover quickly, and that the matter was fully addressed and won’t trouble you further!!
I avoided it for a long time to, Karen, but I think one time it was on when I turned the TV on or something so I watched it and I actually really like it. You sometimes get to see more houses on that show than on House Hunters so it can be kinda fun in that way.
I like House Hunters International too but I don’t watch that as much for some reason. I think because so many people on there seem to be buying vacation homes and I can’t even fathom doing that so it makes it kinda weird for me. Quirky – I know.
Thanks for your well wishes!
