I hope you had a good Christmas, or whatever you celebrate

I had planned on staying home. My brother goes with his wife to see her grandkids. My sister lives out of state. The roommate is off visiting her family. However, my best friend contacted me and said that her niece declined to go, as she does most years, she likes that overtime for working on the holiday since she also doesn't have kids or grandkids. Yes, she's old enough, I met a lady back in the late '80s or early '90s who was a grandmother two and a half times at 40. (Half because one was on the way.) So, I went to be with her and her two surviving siblings. However, after sleeping on the bed I bought, and one that I only ever plan to use off and on while visiting her, for two nights and then driving home two hours, I started having muscle spasms. Yesterday I only had them while standing or turning wrong, today it is worse! Before I left town, I knew I was going to have to come home and buy cat food! However, after yesterday, I also knew I was not going to be able to off load the cat food without help. So, I contacted my guy friend and asked if he could come over and help, meaning either today (Friday) or tomorrow. He came today. He put the food in the bin and I went out and fed them. Then I asked him one more favor. You see, there had been a case of water on the rolling cart that I needed unloaded before I could take it out for the cat food. I dropped a bottle on my toe. It hurt. However, when I went to pick up that naughty bottle, I saw I was bleeding. I went in, wiped most of the blood off and put a bandaid on it. Now, I can see it pretty good standing, but I can't touch it and if I can touch it, well, it is too far from my close up glasses (reading/computer) to see. He did that, I thanked him and sent him off. The roommate had thought she was going to come home in a few days... but now her brother-in-law is in the hospital. So, while I normally have no problem doing things around the house, tonight I hope I didn't alarm the neighbors when I yelped in pain trying to do things like... bring the dog in... I hope the rest of you have had a better day than I have! Let me know, did you see family? Do anything fun? My family used to go to the movies on Christmas, been years since I've done that.
