I haven't much felt like writing a blog for the past few days, but I did have a great time, especially since Dec. 30 up until last night (Jan 3rd). It's back to the old grind today.
On the 30th, Jeannie & Donald helped me drink the growler of ale that I got for Christmas; we celebrated at their house on the 31st with lots of food, snacks, and champagne at midnight. I bought some pork tamales for our supper since I remember from long ago that it's good luck to eat tamales on New Year's Eve. I believe it's true, so I am expecting a year filled with love, luck, and joy.
I only see the chiropractor once every other week now, and today was the day. I always feel so much better after a visit to his office, and a lot of it has to do with the positive vibes projected from the entire staff. Today was no exception.
It looks like we are in for at least a week of rain mixed with periods of sunshine. It's cold though, so I rummaged through my clothes until I came up with a heavy duty set of long underwear. I know I'm getting old because I've never been bothered by the cold in the past.
I am going to see about a new prescription for eyeglasses on Wednesday. I am noticing my vision get worse by the day - partly the mac degeneration, and partly the fact that I need new glasses. At least I hope they will help. I've tried to change the settings on my computer so that the print is larger and darker, but it doesn't seem to apply to my email programs and
other applications.
My diet went completely off track over the holidays - I had carbs and sugar galore! I will be glad to get back to what is for me a healthier eating style. First I have to finish off the little bit of dips, chips, etc., that Jeannie sent me home with after New Year's.
I wish all readers love, luck, and joy in your lives this year.
- A Relaxing Day
I went to Jeannie's house today to spend the day with Ara before she heads back east. Jeannie, Ara and I put toether a big jigsaw puzzle, and worked 5 NY Times crossword puzzles. With three great minds together we just couldn't...
- See You Next Year, Santa!
Another Christmas has come and gone, and I'm still reeling! Our family had a wonderful gathering, with lots of love and laughs. I am drinking a super tasty cup of coffee this morning, made possible by my new Mr. Coffee. One of my...
- Doing My Part!
We need rain so desperately and are supposed to get a small amount this evening and again later in the week. I just came in from washing the outside of my kitchen windows, as well as the porch railings and trim. I'd be really surprised,...
- Sunday Relaxin'
I drove over to Jeannie's this morning for coffee and some tasty cookies. We sat around and worked the NY Times crossword puzzle, and talked about getting an assembly line together to make tamales. It would be so much easier than one person...
- A Fine Friday!
I won't become a year older until 5:45 pm today. My dad used to call me every Nov. 14th and tell me "In ** minutes you will be ** years old". I really didn't care to be reminded back then, but I'd sure love to hear his voice...
