Why oh why do some people sign up for things like this, and then not participate? Why do they do that??? I have had several people contact me over the past week about not receiving their Secret Santa gift…..I contact the people who had them, and come to find out that not one, but TWO of them have…
What really sucks about the people who just decided to not participate after saying they would is that they got their gift, but didn’t pay it forward. I’m still waiting for my gift, but I’m not holding my breath or anything.
With all the walking and stairs that I dealt with yesterday I figured I’d be really sore today, but I’m not. My knee doesn’t hurt and my left hip, which took some impact when I fell, doesn’t hurt either. Both were bothering me a little on the stairs yesterday though. I think I got lucky with this fall. It doesn’t feel like I bruised my knee cap like I did when I fell last year. I’m so happy about that. I wonder if this means I can still ride my bike…
I felt a lot better yesterday, which is why I went to Houston with the family. Today I feel like crap again, but I don’t have a fever. Whatever I have better go away before Friday. We have plans to go to NASA and the dog track. Then on Saturday…AGGIES!! GIG EM!!
NOTE: We rode the rail from the main station into town and visited the Museum of Fine Arts then rode to the Preston St. station, walked through Market Square and ate at Spaghetti Warehouse. We then walked to the Main Street Square station and rode to the McGowen station and got off and walked to Specs then back to the station and rode back to the Museum District and went to the Museum of Natural Science and walked all through the main exhibit. My brother couldn’t just be like “Ok lets start on the bottom level and work up.” We went down, up, up, down, up, down. After that we walked to the fountains then to the station and rode it back to the car.
