Seeing my grandson's family last night was great. We had a houseful of family and I always love that.

His little boy has grown so much. I can't refer to him as the baby any longer. I think one of the most precious things in the world is when they are put down on the floor and they run toward me at top speed.

I am grateful that I was able to stoop and scoop him up last night. That wouldn't have been the case a week or so ago. Sciatica is still giving me pain at times, but I am moving better.

My BP meds came out in generic last month, which took the price for me down over $400 per month. I am having a love/hate relationship with it so far. I have felt better over the past week than I have felt in ages, but have also had many spells of lightheadedness/balance problems. I hope they get better, and I don't have to switch back to the original because I am allergic to some filler.

Thanksgiving is a potluck and not at my house for once this year. I'll have much less work, so I should be able to enjoy the people more.
