Not much new, but it's been a month

It has been over 1 month since my last blog and I must admit not much is new. Our holidays were very nice and Sean and I had a quiet New Years, since he had to be at work at 6:30am New Year's Day. Brian was at a party and then slept at a friends house. He was actually out later than me!!! I have had a cold since Christmas that does not seem to want to go away. I started getting better this past Monday, but now once again it is a full blown cold, stuffy nose, watery eyes, sneezing, etc., but luckily I feel ok. My diet seems to be working and I have lost 12 pounds so far so I am very excited. Brian's roller hockey is in full swing and he actually scored a goal 2 weeks ago.

I had gum surgery this past Monday evening - my 7th one, so I am an old pro at it and I have 1 stitch in my mouth. The periodontist worked on it for 20 -25 minutes, and actually cut part of my gum off, but I only needed one stitch. I don't get pain medication either. I just take Aleve or Motrin if needed adn this time I needed it!! I kept ice on it for about 30 minutes and luckily the swelling was very minimal on Tuesday morning. The stitch comes out next Monday.

We had snow this past Saturday, about 2 -3 inches and are expecting another inch or so tonight, and boy oh boy has it gotten COLD. It's supposed to be in single digits over the next couple of days and like an idiot Sean is going out fishing this Friday, about 50 miles out in the ocean down at the Jersey Shore. His boat is out of the water so he is going with a co-worker of his on a "Charter Boat".

Brian's driving is coming along and he's doing very well.

Not much else is new here in bitter cold Dumont, NJ
