Hello, everyone!

That's very good news that you can still run, Helia.

Laura, those gifts for DGS sound perfect!

WTG getting all the skis sorted out, Trissie!

Bama, I learnt about sultanas, raisins and currants from when I was a little girl and "helping" my grandmother pick over the dried fruit before putting them into Christmas cakes and puddings, so I think your theory may be correct!

WTG with all you've accomplished, L.Ann!

Enjoy the Christmas concert, Dogged!

Hi, Peaches!

The rain started soon after 8 am and it has rained continuously since then. So when the JWs rocked up soon after 11, they were very wet. I didn't keep them too long today, as it would have been unkind for them to get even wetter. And no cards were delivered today! I'll try again tomorrow or Friday. But the kitchen is clean and I've PUPA and hoovered through the house.

Well I feel like I got somewhere but nowhere today. The day rapidly turned around. Kinda. My life is about to change. In what way I am not certain.

Cookie party was fun but missing quite a few people cause a lot are sick. So is school missing a lot. Ds seems a little better now that he slept till after 1030.

No sooner I got to the party my sister called. Dad had gone into the support person at the hospital. Ended with finding a room for mom. Looks like she is going to the hospital tomorrow morning to stay until her spot at the care home opens. Big deal... I am sad but relieved. Dad is not doing well. He was desperate for help. And I know mom will get care while I'm away. Anyways spent a good amount of time on the phone and got mom and such. Everything is falling into place. Except my shopping 🛍 . I didn't get to any store.

Oh well maybe dh is thinking.

I did clean some. Should deal with laundry. Make supper. Gonna reuse some leftovers.

The concert was great. I'm glad that I went.

That email doesn't stand a chance against you, L.Ann.

Your good deed was mercy to the JWs who tried to interrupt your work at this busy time, Kittykatt.

Maybe your trip was the impetus your dfather needed to place your dmother where she can get the care that she needs. You can be confident that things are being looked after while you are away.
How many gifts do you still have to buy?

It sounds like a good sign that the doctor still wants you to run, helia.

Skis for Christmas, trissie? Sounds like a great time.

That is frustrating, Bama, to sleep and not feel rested.

[Bama]

I’m so glad you enjoyed the concert, Dogged! Remind me what kind of concert it was, instrumental, singing…
No worries about the sleep, I’m fixing to give it another shot.

(((Laura))), we look up to our parents so much as children that it can be hard to switch roles. It seems to hit harder over the holiday season. Prayers for your parents as they also deal with change.

Kittykatt, I read your post earlier and was going to say that sounds right but I asked dh when he got home what a sultana was and he reminded me where I’ve heard it before. It’s a flowering plant! Also known as an impatien. *headsmack* This stuck in my head all day and he was like “no biggie, it’s a flower” lol. My family may have used the term referring to food as well.

Hi LAnn. Hi Peaches.

I’ve done stuff. Can’t remember what. Turning in. Sweet dreams.
