Sleeping Late

What a wonderful morning.  Ken was so kind this morning.  The tv is our alarm and when it came on he turned it off quickly, got up, got ready, and left without any noise.  So I heard the tv, but went right on sleeping for another 55 minutes and Ken was gone when I awoke. So my first day of Christmas break and I slept in!  It was 6:55 when I got up.  I had my shower and visited with Bryn, our youngest son, and his wife Vicki who are in from Georgia.  They have now left and I am planning my day.  I am kicked back in my chair with a fire in the fireplace, thanks to Bryn, and I am deciding what to do.  I have plenty of possibilities and some have to dos.  Hmm!  A lot of possibilities and so little time.  I think I will start with the have to dos.  Not much fun, but necessary.  The kitchen cupboards are pretty bare.  I think I will find some crock pot recipes, so they are easy, and get the shopping and as a by product the cooking taken care of for the week.  Not my favorite thing to take care of at all.  So take the medicine first.
Then I need to finish wrapping and assess the whole gift situation and get it under control.  Then I will feel like I can move on to something really fun like the sewing room.
I am very cozy now with the fireplace roaring, the house quiet, the cat warming my lap, and a drizzly dreary day out.  Hmm!  Why would I want to move.
I had a bone scan on Friday because I have been having unexplained pain in my upper right arm.  I went to the cancer center at 8:15 and got an injection of something that had to be guarded in a metal sheath and had a time sensitive life span on it.  That is pretty scary.  Then I went to school for three hours.  Then I went to the cancer center and laid on a 12" wide table.  Have you ever seen me?  My back side was off way more than it was on! I guess that was a good place to cut corners and save a bit of money!  I got to lay there for about an hour and 20 minutes.  The first hour wasn't to bad, but after that I got to move over so my arm was more on the table, which meant most of me wasn't.  I will say I have pretty good balance (I didn't fall off).  Then I got to put my arm up over my head for more scanning.  Today I get the results.  When I think of it I just try to start making my mind get around the fact that it could be bad news.  Which is negative in a way, but I am afraid I will need a lot of time to process this new development, and this just gives me a headstart.  Then if it isn't bad news I will be relieved for the time being, but I still won't know why I am having pain.
