First off, I am just going to share that John and I had a great Thanksgiving at his parents house! It was nice to see his brother, sister and his brothers girlfriends, and spend some time with all of them, so it was fun. We haven't seen them in a long time.
Black Friday was an adventure. I ended up getting up to go shopping at 4am at Kohls. I did pretty well, just about finishing up my Christmas shopping yesterday. That was nice. And surprisingly, despite the crown, I had a good time going out by myself - I think I would have been stressed had I gone shopping with anyone.
After braving Kohls, I went to Starbucks for a pick-me-up of a peppermint white chocolate mocha and a breakfast sandwich. Then I headded to Target, which opened at 6am. That was definitely a mad house! Apparently, they were selling Guitar Hero 3 with 2 guitars for $85, so the electronics section was PACKED. I wasn't even trying to get TO electronics, I was just trying to get by it and I couldn't! I finally was able to find what I was looking for, got two more Christmas gifts, as well as some stuff for decorating the house. We wanted some icicle lights to hang on the front of the house this year. Though, I realized after I got home that we don't have an extension cord for those, so I am going to have to pick one up today before we go. I am banking on getting some snow before Christmas to cover the extension cords running through my front yard right now to the rest of the Christmas lights :-)
After I got home, I discovered that I was having some really bad back pain, which was not fun. It was so bad, it pretty much had me in tears. The only doctor that was available was my OB, so in I went - hooked up to the monitor again, only to find out (as I thought) that the baby is fine and I wasn't in labor. So he is going to send me to physical therapy on Tuesday to see how that goes. He's diagnosed it as sacro-iliac pain. But, I've also discovered what I suspect to be a sebaceous cyst on my tailbone, which I'm sure isn't helping the back pain at all, because the pressure causes a lot of pain too. So I'm going to have to wait until Monday to call my primary care doctor (since my OB doesn't seem to have the time to answer questions), and see what can be done about that. I hope that will help with some of the pain, because now, it's even painful when I sleep, and the last thing I need is to be getting a poor nights sleep on top of the poor sleep I get as it is now! John was so great yesterday helping me out - he was just wonderful. He was concerned about me and kept would come up to check on me, bring me water, he drove me to the doctors, got the phone for me... I have the best husband in the world!
