spent a good portion of the day watching some of the overnight moguls, slopestyle and the opening ceremonies live…

lighting the torch…

it was lovely… the TV had been on all night but I did sleep through most of it… which was fine because I had PRV’d everything…

as I was watching the opening ceremonies the sun was streaming through the window… I do love the sun, lol…

sun on the garage…

napped for a while, and then watched more TV and worked on a project…

reminded me of the last time I was watching the Olympics… it was the summer Olympics in 2012, and I was watching from the main floor bedroom… we had brought in a bed from my daughter’s house and had purchased a new TV… I had just had my hysterectomy/hernia surgery… got out of the hospital earlier than planned and my nephew came and stayed with me for the first few days…

this was the first time in my adult life that George wasn’t there to look after me… big girl pants can be a drag…

I have bad reactions to drugs of any kind and within 12 hours of my surgery had stopped taking meds as the side effects were worse than the pain… but it did mean that I was hurting and had trouble getting up and out of bed for a while… my nephew was amazing and took great care of me… then my friend arrived and spent a wonderful week with me… she found treats to encourage me to eat as I really had no desire for food… eventually I was able to walk to the back of the garden and sit by the pond…

my friend headed off and I was on my own… and then the Olympics started… I was able to get in and out of bed, but needed lots of rest… so, I would watch for a while and sleep for a while and then watch for a while and so on… it was a perfect distraction…

I am very happy that I had today and have the next few days to watch all I can and then I will PVR all the overnight shows and watch them in the evenings…

and I am very happy that I am healthy and able to work…

life is good…
