I missed you when you stopped by here lucylee! Maybe you'll come by again today. It sounds like you have some food sensitivities.
Feeling rested after 6 hours must be one of your many superpowers, trissie. Glad you can work from home today! Good luck on the research project and everything else - you can do it! And WTG getting Christmas photos done.
Your house must smell great, Doggedly. Are you having the same cold snap today we are? It is 7F (-13.9) at 8 a.m. See you soon!
Did you get in your walk today, Kitty? It looks like you did. Enjoy lunch with dh!

I didn't get back here yesterday. After lunch, I prepped for the seminar, attended the seminar online - very small. Then, I rushed out to meet with my personal trainer. Home again, I had some QT, went for a walk in the cold, and then spent an hour? messaging with AC and figuring out a hotel for our trip next week. Then, I had to change my clothes and spiff myself for the gala; it was an hour drive there -- there was a football game in the big city last night. Driving home was more like 40 minutes with a stop to gas the car. Dh and I got home from the gala around 10 pm. . . THAT was the rest of my day - not much time for other things. :roll:

Today, I need to keep working on the list from Monday that hasn't gotten done yet: laundry, memorial thank yous. I also need to prep for class, including making the practice test. I will teach 1:30 - 3:30. I might go to the local Kindlefest at 5 with K, S2, and J; I'd just stay at payroll and work on things and then walk over -- but I'm not sure if they're going. That still needs to be determined. I guess I could go by myself. . .It would be a good place to buy a gift for CK and EK since they highly value homemade crafts. Then, dh and I will go out for dinner somewhere.

I should do something for Christmas but the only 2 people who have put up their lists are dd27 and M, and I've already bought their gifts. I guess I could add links to my list.

It is 7F (-13.9C) right now and the sun is peeking over the horizon; the sky is pretty clear! It looks like we'll have some sunshine today. ☀️ Even with the cold, the sunshine makes all the difference, psychologically speaking.

yay for progress on the Christmas letter, kittykatt!
good luck on the errands, Dogged! What's the weather like today?
helia, I think all the thank you cards that you Americans keep sending must be what's keeping the postal services alive! It's definitely not a custom in the Austro-Hungarian cultural region!

Hi all! Last night for the second day in a row the evening was high jacked when my granddaughter called and asked for help with her algebra homework. After 30-45 minutes of algebra using text message pictures and the phone I am officially done for the night! :lol:
I have fixed the outdoor decoration issue by just not having them, kittykatt! We have a fair amount of indoor ones but nothing outside. I have an appointment with the radiologist on the 16, Trissie for a consult. I see the surgeon on the 17th who will either give the okay to start or say the inside needs another week or two of healing. I will be surprised if they can set anything up u til the week after Christmas but I could be wrong.

We have snow…. Which I think maybe about done… so everything is delayed for two hours.

Figure skating_ what a beautiful sport! When I was a child I would pretend that I was as beautiful and graceful as they were, as I played on the local outdoor skating rink, and had the attendant always help me lace up the skates.
I've been MIA for quite a while -
mother was in hospice, died,
family here, then went home, then came back for funeral
between, drove to Western SD (500 miles) for grand-Nephew's confirmation

Since, sisters and I wrote and mailed over 180 acknowledgment cards
it's been my birthday,
I've baked 6 lovaes of my great-grandmother's recipe rye bread
I've driven to Western Wyoming for Thanksgiving (1100 miles each way)
and returned
Now need to deal with both my mother's house and my own. My own will take priority, but there is a tenant who needs attention at mother's. She knows nothing about snow, having never had a winter in this climate. Born in Kenya, and worked mostly in Missouri and Texas.

I have a VERY long list, as I am sure you all do as well.
I'm wondering what has been happening with your lives while I have been MIA. About all I know is Helia had a grandbaby born.

Gma! Nice to see you:) How have you been? When I was a child, I did not get skates until I was 14... I pretend-skated on the slippery hall floors of my school :lol:
trissie Thank you! Had a rough couple of months but hopefully everyone is on the mend now... How are you doing?
LAnn - How is your little DGD? How is DD? How are you?
