today, i got dressed

That most definitely counts as news.

For the last two days, I've been in my nightgown.

That would be all day, all afternoon, all evening, all night.

I wasn't going anywhere, so why get dressed and tempt myself to venture out?

Indeed. 

This morning, I was still in my nightgown as I watched the Easter service - well, the latter part of it - with the Asbury contingent viewing on fb.

I've been in bed every night by 11 PM, if not before. 

Last night, however, had brought a bout of insomnia that had me up every hour until I relented and stayed up.

I watched the Thursday reward movie from Comcast: "Meet The Millers".

I dimly recalled seeing it before, though I'd somehow forgotten about Jennifer Aniston's stripper routines.

By the time it was done, I was ready for sleep, as the time coincided with my regular bedtime, i.e., about 2:30 AM.

I woke up about 10:30 AM, but didn't leap out of bed.

After all, I'm not the Easter bunny.

Bah dumm dum.

Just a little - very little! - joke to show I'm still here. 

(smile!) 

I caught most of Rev. Billy's sermon, so that was good.

Then came the "Alleluia Chorus" at the end, with folks in the congregation being invited to come up on stage with the choir.

I really loved that!

I seemed to liven me up, too.

After putting away to breakfast remains (Chocolate Ensure and two fig cookies), and verifying that my bowels were working well, I got dressed.

I'm wearing my dark blue dress with daisies.

Technically, it's a nightgown with pockets, but it looks like a casual dress and I've worn it as such on several occasions.

I will say this: it feels good to be in clothes for a change.

That includes wearing a bra for the first time since Wednesday morning. 

(smile!) 

And now, I have a lovely bouquet of flowers from the Easter service!

Chuck Long came by to deliver them just a few minutes ago.

My thanks to Asbury Memorial Church for this gorgeous display!

Now, what shall I do with my day?

Do I dare to drive my car yet?

Hmm... no, I think not.

While it's true that this is the first day that my brain doesn't still reel from anesthesia, I prefer to wait until tomorrow.

Meanwhile, I have plenty of movies to watch on TV.

Let me go find which one is next...
