I've never had luck with growing basil and am anxious to try it again. Also - hope that biopsy spot isn't painful. Good luck with the nasal/sinus stuff.

The garden is my husband's effort ... it is what he has been working on since he got home from the hospital, a little bit at a time. He enjoys it and it gives him something healthy to do and there's a sense of accomplishment when things grow. I like it because I get to enjoy it!
The biopsy spot woke me in the night with pain. It's quite deep ... with a punch biopsy, they don't do a wide cut but it is a deep cut. I'm not doing much today ... just letting it rest and heal. And I slept about 11 hours last night!! Tired from work but probably also healing.
I'm going to go outside and find a sheltered spot (very windy) and read a bit.

Did Gilad’s Step and Tone DVD today. The plan for tomorrow is to do Kathy Smith’s Total Body Lift DVD.
Soup kitchen today. I need to go earlier. I am planning to wear my elf outfit so I need to go extra early to get the “booties” on. Also have to go to the post office to mail the package for Denise and then the bank. Not sure if I’ll do that before or after the soup kitchen. Update: really, I didn't need to be there early today. They changed the date to Monday since they didn't realize that the kids weren't out of school yet. But I went anyway and we gave out bag lunches. Quite a few people commented on my outfit
M – get better fast. Hope the results are everything you hope them to be and that you get the results Tuesday
Karen VA – grrrrrr, what a pain! But glad you got it worked out
Lanette – I don’t know if I completely agree with the “eat like your grandparents did” theory. My grandfather and GM both ate lots of foods that were fried, lots of butter, pies made with (what I think was) lard, get they lived long lives. I honestly believe part of that is because they were much more active than we are.
JR – congrats to your daughter
Shirley – we have the kids send us a list of what they’d like
Tina in CA – Good news about your hubby. I know how hard it is not to stress eat, but maybe try a craft or cleaning – anything to get your mind off eating
Barbara – “Scale back” – I don’t think Vince knows how to do this. But he has said that next year he wants to start doing the decorations inside at least starting in September. Of course, he said that last year but I’m planning to really push him next year. Before we went to Iowa, I kept telling Vince that we should at least PUT UP the arches. Really, who’s going to take PVC pipe? And rebar stakes? I don’t think so. But for some reason he didn’t want to. Something about needing to have the infrastructure down. But it wasn’t down when we put the arches up – at least I don’t think so.

Today I will make the stuffing balls and the mashed carrot and swede.
I'm worrying about Christmas food, but really have no need to. The family is only here for about eight hours at the most! The local small shop is open.
What I find every year is that I am so fixated on the actual day that I forget we need to eat the rest of the time!
Hake tonight with a basil crust, spinach, and cannelli beans.
Lanette - I grow my basil on my kitchen windowsill. And winter parsley. I just buy supermarket plants and they stay alive for ever. My first task when I go downstairs in the morning is to water them.
I've been writing my memoir fairly regularly. It improves my day no end when I keep that routine going. Exercise and writing anchor me. I haven't always done my bonus afternoon exercise, but there's generally been some walking to the shops, or plenty of cooking, cleaning etc. Must fit in some rowing today.
Much love to all. Steady as she goes!

Tomorrow - Sunday 22 December - consider setting your Christmas lights to still so that people with photosensitive epilepsy can enjoy your display without worrying the flickering lights will trigger a seizure.

Machka 💘 the pic of your garden, and how sunny and happy you look in your new profile pic.
Barbara
Thank you!
My new profile pic is what happens when I'm forced to sit a lot ... I start playing around with cameras and photo processing on my computer.
However, it's the end of my first day of 16 off, and I have ticked off some things I wanted to do:
-- sit in the sun (late day sun)
-- sit in our garden
-- sit and read in the sun in our garden
-- lie in bed and read
-- sleep!
We've also been watching Christmas movies in the evening (yesterday and today) and listening to lots of Christmas music during the day.

Allie,
I would love to meet you for coffee or something when you are in Fort Lauderdale. I am about 25 minutes away from the Fort Lauderdale port and am familiar with the area. It's just an idea - no pressure whatsoever!
I have sailed to some of the islands you mentioned. Loved Grand Turk. Must be very cautious in San Juan (I would suggest a guided tour there - we did a rain forest hike). Frommer's Caribbean Cruise guide is loaded with information about tours and the islands in general. I found lots of hidden gems in the book the cruise tours do not cover/offer. I also always spring for a balcony room - very much worth it especially during "days at sea".
What a great way to celebrate your 60th!

Hello everyone.
This will be short - my laptop decided it was going to shut down Chrome in the middle of me typing up a rather long post. Of course this was as I was proofing what I typed up. I usually use Word and then copy and paste but was attempting to save some time.
Hugs to all and prayers for those in need.

Morning, afternoon and evening all...
Ranting over (aren't you glad?) and ended up getting a one-year prescription from them, instead of just the 30-day I was asking for.... one worry off for the holiday break, anyway.
Headed for town to pick up a couple of things on sale, before all the crazy people come out.
Allie - glad the news was good for your brother.
NYKAREN, and Machka - Enjoy your time off! I plan to revel in mine, and hope you're healing well and quickly, Machka.
Karen VA - Hope your partner is healing well.
Love y'all,
Lisa in AR2 -
Happy Winter Solstice ladies! Shortest day of the year in our hemisphere, longest day for Machka.
Michele - I'm sure you are right in that our grandparents ate fried food, lard and yes they were much more active than most of us are today. I think of my grandmother who would rarely sit down - baking, cleaning, you name it. And she didn't drive - walked to visit the neighbors, sometimes a mile or more away. More walking, less sitting.
NYKaren - enjoy your vacation from social media. Good to give our brains a break sometimes.
Machka - what you posted about blinking lights is fascinating. I don't have epilepsy but quite often blinking animations online and bright lights give me a queasy stomach like I'm coming down with a migraine. Something to do with my neurological wiring.
Lisa - glad to hear they gave you a year prescription. No worries about dealing with these people for another year!
We are at the tail end of the pineapple express. Flooding in town, but I'm not heading in until early tomorrow morning to get groceries. As Lisa says, before the crazy people come out, lol. Next weekend shopping should be a breeze.
Thinking about my goals/plan for next year. Haven't thought of a word yet.
Enjoy your day!

The line dance holiday party was fabulous. There were 37 dancers, almost all were dressed in some sort of festive clothing from funny t shirts to bling. Lots of people brought treats so I was able to bring home a nice assortment for Jake. Everyone knows that I don't eat treats and I don't eat in the middle of the morning so it was no big deal that all I did was admire the food and then helped at the end with the clean-up and picked out stuff to take home. Dancing to holiday songs was a blast. We did easy dances and even the newest dancers were able to dance along. I got lots of hugs and thank-you's. One woman even sent me an email saying "Today was a perfect example of the Christmas (Holiday) Spirit, as it should be, the gift of shared love & friendship with no money or material things" . Now I'm finished with Christmas except that Jake did some research and found that the great pizza place in the next town will be open on Christmas so that will be our holiday dinner. In years past we've gone to our favorite Chinese restaurant but this year he wanted something different. I had a prescription that had to be renewed by the doctor this week and I didn't want to have to add to her burden with the obligatory appointment for the renewal. Instead, she sent a 90 day renewal to the pharmacy, an order for needed blood tests to the lab, and a note saying that I could do the labs and see her in February. It continues to rain and drizzle here but so far, the dogs and I are doing well with it. There is some flooding in NW WA but not close to us. Barbie in NW WA 3

Back home with DH and Ella...not sure which one was happier to see me. Ella and I walked an extra long walk this morning to celebrate the solstice. Trip to Alaska was productive with mediation. The Settlement Agreement isn't signed yet but all parties agreed to the terms. Hopefully will be signed and a done deal by end of 2019.
My sister has been stumbling more since middle summer and three times had uncontrollable trembling in her right leg. Her doctor sent her to a neurologist and she had an extensive physical exam and an MRI. The MRI showed three tumors on the brain, one large one on the left temporal lobe and two smaller ones on the occipital lobe. There is much swelling around the tumors so she is taking steroids to decrease he edema and an anti seizure medicine and will come to WA and have diagnostic tests when the edema is controlled. She is a trooper and is handling the situation well. I think better than I am.
