The family picnic was very nice, got to reconnect with
extended family, and my brother and 2 of my 3 sisters, plus some of their
children and their children's children. J It was a pretty good turnout especially for my immediate
family, even my son attended. It was a
good potluck meal as always. My son and I made KFC. My aunt made her famous potato
salad, very tasty. There was also a nice selection of desserts.
Then the rain stopped and we were able to go outside and
visit. All would have been super great, if not for my damn back, but excluding
that it was a great success. Everyone seemed to have a nice time. I took a few,
very few, pictures. They are the photos posted here. The creek was actually a
river thanks to all the rain... I noticed the bench there dedicated to my
grandparents desperately needs to be sanded and recoated - something we need to
do sooner than later. Once the weather clears up, we will have to make that
effort.
When we got home I went straight to bed with the heating
pad, I can barely move. My sister gave me some medicinal gel (Voltaren) to try for
the pain. So far no relief, but I have only tried it once so far. I really want
to take some pain medication, I am fighting back tears the pain is so excruciating.
Whatever, my mood is still OK, not as good as it was a few days ago, but not as
bad as it was before. Still no suicidal thoughts, so bonus...
Talk to y'all tomorrow...
