Wonderful Surprise Gift for Tommy

 My new wool blanket went on the bed last night. It was so cuddly. About 3 am, I awoke in a pool of sweat. It was gross and cold. Thankfully, I slept until 11:30. When I got up, I went to bathroom and then to the living room, while Tommy was puttering in the kitchen. Finally, I asked him if he was getting breakfast. No, he was not.

Do you remember when I said a man he worked with was sending him something? He came and brought. Neither of them woke me with loud guy talking. 

The guy had brough a huge box full of Honey Baked turkey breast and sides--green bean casserole, sweet potato souffle, Macaroni and Cheese and a pecan pie. It was all frozen solid as a rock. We had two slices of ham at lunch. 

Finally, around 6 pm, he brought the food and my plate to allow me to get what I desired. I am sure I got less of everything than he would have served me. He is too generous with food, not selfish at all. 

We had taken the frozen puck of pie from the metal pan and heated pie at lunch in the microwave. I took the empty but still clean pan of pie crumbs and filled it for our neighbor. He said, when I called him, "Oh, you don't have to do that." Of course, I did. When Tommy took it out to him, the neighbor said, "I was wondering what I was going to fix for dinner," I forgot to give him pie. I can do that tomorrow. 

This guy gives good gifts to Tommy. He handles Tommy's retirement account. He can work for Tommy forever. The meal we got was worth almost $200. Yes, I checked on the price.

I am cancelling the pecan pie I was going to bake because one is enough for one year. I had told Tommy that next year I wanted a $69 Thanksgiving meal from the grocery. Now, I want a $200 meal from HoneyBaked. 

Earlier. I shopped with a list Tommy made from the ads. I did well at Publix. I did not get some things that were out of stock on bogo. I was so tired and forgot to get a raincheck. I had to go home. 

It is now night. Even though I was too hot last night, I will put the wool blanket back on tonight.  I think the problem is I did not take off the smaller wool blanket. Plus, the sheets are cotton and do not breathe. If I had wool sheets, I would be better off for cooling and heating. 

I saw the lymph specialist on Tuesday. On Wednesday someone called me about getting help at home to put the legs on. Today, two people called Now, I have an appointment for assessment at home. Then, by Monday, someone should start. This moved quickly. 

It is thrilling to know I don't have to cook for at least three days, and there will be sandwich meat for another two after that unless we have a turkey sandwich for next two lunches. We could happily do that.

Tomorrow, I get my first haircut since 2018 or early 2019! Hallelujah!

I have had HoneyBaked turkey sandwiches, HoneyBaked turkey at other's houses, but I have never had a whole meal like the one Tommy received. Have you had HoneyBaked ham or turkey?

Do you like sleeping under wool blankets?

  1. Wow, that was very generous of the man to give you all such a wonderful meal! It sounds delicious. I’m with you on the leg pumps, they can be cumbersome to put on, I have the trunk pump too, but they do help, so I continue to use them. The wool blanket sounds nice. Hopefully taking the other blanket off will help.

    1. Belinda,
      I suppose the guy made enough money from Tommy's investments. I would love this next year!
      I won't stop because one calf is 1.5 in smaller and softer.

      I put the blanket on top again and did not get hot until this morning. When someone comes to change sheets, I will eliminate the smaller blanket.

  2. I have had their ham - it is good. Nice gift.
    Can't use wool - I am very allergic, it itches the daylights out of me. It would be way too hot for me to sleep under anyway.

    1. The wool is not hot at all. It was the cotton I had over me, too. And, I am not allergic at all.

  3. That sounds like a really nice and delicious gift. My investment guy (formerly my mom's guy) sends a card LOL.

      Maybe you could share this with him and up your gift.

  4. As a child we had wool tied quilts. They were made from scraps from men's suit making.

    I sleep year round with a down comforter in summer without a duvet cover. In winter covered with a lightweight cotton coverlet. I LOVE sleeping under a down comforter

    1. Janet,
      You reminded me of wool quilts made from men's suits. Maybe I could collect men's suits.

      I think I might like to sleep under a down comforter as long as it was hypoallergenic.

Okay, hoping the annoyances have gone away.
