December 31, 2022 Nicky safely arrived at Natalie ‘a last night from Florida. Both will be leaving early this morning and driving here today.  What a great New Years Eve for Steve and I. Glad they will be arriving around noon since I know I won’t be up to greet the New Year when midnight hits but will wake up happy on New Years Day.  The girls arrived at 1:00 pm and Already went shopping and started preparing meals so that we will have pre made meals in the future.  9:30- I went to bed while the girls laid beside me. We were going to watch TV however ended up talking for an hour. It was so nice.  10:30pm-  For some reason, I had a cough spell with wheezing. Never had that before and not sure why.  The girls stayed with me until I fell asleep.  Didn’t make it to midnight but we cheered before I went to bed.  Happy New Year.
