Today was exhausting, but at the end of the day, it was fun! I feel good about what I've gotten ready for Easter, and what I accomplished today. This isn't my first holiday being sick, but it's the first one that I was this bad and had to really cut back on my efforts to fit with my abilities.
I love the way the deviled eggs turned out and I cannot wait for the family to see them tomorrow. The kids and I tried lots of different things with the eggs we dyed this year and it made a fun variety. We used hot glue on some of the eggs before dipping them and they turned out really cool, except for the ones that tore the shell off of the egg...HA HA! We used a new kit that had mini rollers in them, they were fun. I rolled a "rainbow" on a paper towel and made these really pretty pastel patterned eggs.
All that is left to do in the morning is to bake the beer bread. I cannot eat it but everyone loves it. It's my specialty apparently lol. The heating pad is my best friend right now. The steroids have been keeping most of the joint and muscle pain at bay, but today I overdid it and they can't hang. As much as I can't wait to be off of these "devils tic tacs" as people call them. I will miss the relief they give me from the constant joint pain.
Tomorrow will be a long day, but I am looking forward to spending time with family and relaxing. I finished a book today during my "forced breaks". I am eager to do some crocheting tomorrow in the down time. I am NOT looking forward to doing dishes, however. That is the one thing I hate about the gatherings. I do enough dishes on a daily basis in my household, I'm not sure why I am the designated dish washer lol. I hope you all have a wonderful holiday.
