Well today is my birthday, now that we have that out of the way, on to the day, ha. Yesterday Lori and I managed to get a lot done. After the gym, which killed my back, we cleaned up and de-Christmased most of the house, except for the tree. The cleaners were coming at noon, so we wanted to get the garland off the mantle and counters and railings. We ran to Costco for a bunch of beef ribs to cook for dinner tonight, James and Addy and Marty and Melanie are coming for dinner, or that was the plan.
You see, Marty and his youngest son Max, were wrestling a couple nights ago and Melanie got too close and was bonked in the head. She has an aneurysm from being rear ended in a car accident probably 5 or 6 years ago. Later that night, (3 nights ago) she vomited twice and her pupils were really small. Telltale signs of a concussion. They thought she’d get better but should have gone straight to ER that night. Anyhow, after dropping his oldest son and longtime girlfriend at the airport in Denver yesterday, they went straight to Anchutz Medical Center which is a big hospital in Denver. As of 10 last night, she was still having tests. She had a CT scan and was waiting on an MRI. I guess the aneurysm is ok, but they were checking out other stuff. Marty had his little dog with him so last we talked at 9 last night, he was driving the dog back to Frisco and then heading back down to Denver. So, not sure if they’ll make it tonight. Might just be James and Addy and us.
At 4, I went to cigar night with the guys. It was our first night in a homestead cabin built in 1878 that Andres, in our group, refinished and fixed up for James. It is the first homestead in Eagle County and happens to be on Addy’s property next to her house. When I walked in, (I arrived first) it was like stepping back in time. It’s really cool and fun. My buddy Shultz drove up from Denver to join us for a smoke. Pics tomorrow as my phone is charging.
When I made it home, Jagger had just plated the short ribs and homemade mashed potato’s. It was an awesome dinner. Lori, Jag and I ate it and watched some tv. Ty spent the night at Maddie’s as she made it back from London last night, where she was for Christmas with her family. Lori and I will pick him up at 7:40 this morning on the way to the gym and drop him at work at 8.
That is it. Won’t be long until 2024! Have a great day, be well, stay safe and God Bless.
