Hi! I am doing well on getting to the gym, and setting slow increases so I don't hurt myself. But I am doing poorly on the cookies. Just because I can fit a little sugar in my calories doesn't mean I can resist the rest of them! I live with my mother who bakes them for me and my dad. I just need to drink water instead and then walk on by.
Happy birthday Luci!
And here's more wishes for a speedy and smooth recovery for Karen's partner.

KarenVa peace and healing strength as you wait for surgery to be over.
Beth it sounds like a good semester and your DYS is going to graduate in May, very hopeful yes? Hope the migraine relief is more lasting this time.
Rori love the idea of a creative outlet, especially one with photographs! Do you use shutterfly or adobe photo or some other app to create the pages? Love this idea, I think I'm gonna have to be a copycat on this one and plan for that next year.
Kelly feel better soon!
Busy concert prep day for my kiddos but the day ended with me getting to hug Rachel!2 more days before the start of my vacation, can't wait!

So today's meal was like yesterday. Sausage, wild rice, zucchini, spinach, but I cracked an egg into the pan. Mozzarella cheese sprinkled on top. Love the spices of turmeric, and cayenne pepper with turkey broth all married together in a pan. 💖
Saw this on my up-cycling group on FB. Its a 1911 sewing machine combined with a John Deere tractor!

Luci Happy Birthday!!!
_____
My partner's surgery was successful. The surgeon was so happy with the outcome he gave me a hug! LOL!!! My partner is in bed, reading. I'm really tired. We had a problem getting the pain medicine because of an incompetent pharmacy tech. It took a long time but we finally got it straightened out. I got a bit grumpy. My partner was waiting in the car & wanted to get home. We purchased a bedside commode that can also be used over the toilet. A neighbor helped us get safely into the house from the car.
Everything is OK.
xoxo

Happy Answer The Phone Like Buddy The Elf Day!
"Buddy the Elf was played by Will Farrell in the 2003 movie Elf. Answering the phone like Buddy the Elf not only surprises unsuspecting callers, but it brightens their day, too. As your day goes along, it will most certainly brighten yours! Who can resist a giggle or a smile when being elf-like. Simply answer the phone and say '(Insert your Name) the Elf, what’s your favorite color?' As you answer, smile and spread some joy. It’s nearly impossible not to."
Sue - The goats are adorable! I've always loved goats, and if I could turn back the clock a few years I'd buy some land and start a herd. Sorry to hear about the roof repairs... those big-ticket repairs are stressful!
Karen - Not counting the parrots, Mr. Phineas is the last of the creatures who joined us while we were living in New Mexico. He is a magnificent beast and he knows it! Sorry to hear about your car. What is the matter with people?!
Heather - Ooh, I think wrapping the sausages in bacon instead of dough is a fabulous idea. The only thing better than pork is more pork!
Luci - Happy birthday!
I'm still fighting this stupid respiratory infection. Philip and I are sleeping separately because we were keeping each other awake with our coughing and hacking. Missed another workout today, which irritates me but I saw him relapse with this crud after getting back to work too soon so I'm not taking any chances. I'd rather put on a couple of pounds than still be sick come Christmas!
Today's commemorative day was chosen because I felt like being ridiculous. However, I rarely answer the land line (because it's almost always people trying to sell something) so I didn't get to talk like Buddy the Elf.

Machka that must be a miniature mince pie
The seven fishes meals the others describe do not appeal, like you I'm not fond of seafood, and for me that includes fish :sick:.
Barbara, the Southern Oregon Coastie
This is a mince pie ... it's a tart.
It's slightly smaller than a meat pie or pecan and white chocolate pie which are quite a bit smaller than a Canadian apple pie.

For me, exercise (more than just casual walking) is one thing that seems to alleviate the pain, tingling, dizziness and nausea part of the hot flashes.
On Sunday, for example, I spent a blissful 90 minutes working out with none of that!

Hi Gals,
Best wishes, hugs for everyone. I had to share a great day, a few days ago my car’s headlight burned out… so I went to the auto parts store thinking “I can do this” bought the part and then with 2 hours to do this read the owners manual and watched a youtube video not a single part looked like the mess in my car! Not one!!! So called my mechanic (a local shop in my town that I’ve used for years) sure come on over, he said. In 5 minutes the mechanic identified that I had the wrong bulb, found one at the shop and changed it.. BEST part no charge!!! What a great start; then I had late breakfast with a friend who is in town for the holiday with her kids and while I have been trying to get her to go along with a no gift, just time agreement for a few years (with no success) today it was a break through. We will do birthday gifts but nothing for Christmas except gather for a meal, a walk or something. This is huge as she always overspends and it is awkward.
Someone asked where all the cookies my Mom and I go, well one went to my mechanic’s shop today! I actually am making a list of who gets cookies this year, I’ll share it when the holiday is over.
My dog and I walk each morning (5:30am) and I often think that Barbie and her dogs are out walking when I am, but quite a bit north of me. I truly agree with Barbie there is no “bad” weather just inappropriate clothing, but this morning it was raining, I was in full rain gear, a head lamp, and a reflective vest, our walk takes us in a 2 mile loop in which we cut across a parking lot. We had just walked out into the parking lot when I looked out and realized that the walk across the parking lot (a 1-2 minute walk) was nuts! It was raining so hard that I could barely see the fully lit up bakery across the lot that we walk by, and the gutters and low ground drainage was all flooding. So for the first time I turned around and headed back to home. It just wasn’t worth it. Even Levi who loves puddles didn’t seem to mind!

Luci, happy birthday, I hope you had a beautiful day.
This was bitter sweet for me to see this. Today would have been my sister's 75th birthday and her 55th wedding anniversary. She passed last month the day before my 70th birthday.

Running round like a chicken with its head cut off!! I'm finishing up for the year and preparing for punch biopsy of a mole on my leg tomorrow afternoon.
I just picked up a few pair of shorts. We're actually supposed to be getting something that sort of resembles summer weather over the next few daysand the shorts should be comfy for hanging around the house if walking is painful.

I started my day with yoga and enjoyed every minute. At home I worked on Christmas decorating. We have several little artificial trees and I relit one of them. The original lights were battery operated and not bright enough so I took that string off and replaced it with one that plugs into house electricity via a transformer. I am very pleased with the results. I hope to bring in the living Christmas tree tomorrow. DH wants to bring it in a bit later. We’ll figure it out.
