Thank you for the well wishes towards my pup Drew. I am still thinking of changing Vets. Right now all the Vets are swamped. Because of a bad snow storm I missed the Vet appointment. I was not able to reschedule for a week and a half. This is how bad it is here to get treatment. When you call emergency they are booked too.
I do not believe Drew has an ulcer. I did not do the five drugs Vet wanted me to do to prove to him it is not an ulcer. She is doing better. She is eating again. Her coat and eyes look good.
I believe it was stress and maybe something she ate that caused this. I did also have her nails clipped and her flea and tick/ heartworm treatment right when this was going on. I was particullarly stressed at this time too. Doing that medical regime of five other drugs would only cause more stress on her. I did get some cederwood and pepperment oil mixed with almond oil to do her flea and tick next time rather than a oral med. Heartworm there is no natural treatment so I will continue with that. Prevention is the best for heartworm.
Just like for us diet, exercise, rest, and a calm atmosphere are sometimes the best treament.
Just like with a doctor when I asked what is the best diet for Drew with her condition. He did not give me a straight answer. HMMM!
My good neighbor at son's house just had to put her beloved dog down. She is a single woman with no children. Suggestions on what to say and how often to check in with her. I did get a card that said how lucky Max was to have her in her life and I added my favorite memory of Max (the time he gave me a Max hug). I also included a poinsetttia (she has poinsettia decorations) and some poinsettia paper plates.4 -

I’m wondering how the entry/exit process went with respect to COVID. We are considering going in February.
Tina in CA
Lots of paper work. We each carried a folder of all of our documents -- I think there were six different things. Timing the Covid test was the trickiest for us, and we weren't sure we had done it correctly -- 72 hours? 3 days? Because of the time our flight was leaving, getting it actually within a 72 hour window would have been nearly impossible, because they required a PCR test. I think we were technically at 75 hours, but the Fiji Airways clerk just saw 3 days, and said we were fine. You must have arranged CareFiji approved housing for at least 3 days in country and CareFiji approved transportation directly to the resort. (And have proof of such before you can board -- some people had trouble with this at LAX). Once your approved transport has taken you to the resort, we had to quarantine at the resort for three days. Which was fine with us because we really just needed rest. On the third day, we had a rapid test (a hotel room was reserved for medical testing). Once we tested negative, we were able to leave the resort. That next day we took the village/river/waterfall tour. Which was probably the riskiest thing we did, but it didn't seem that risky because everyone is fully vaccinated and tested and we wore masks in the van/bus. All foreign tourists have to go through everything we did, and every business that was following the CareFiji guidelines had a sign on their window/door that said "100% vaccinated."
Anyway, I'm getting everything out of order because there was so much stuff. We each had to download the CareFiji app on our phone and have blue tooth enabled for contract tracing, and show such to Fiji Airways before boarding. We scanned in and out of some places, although not everyone required it, apparently.
To get back into the US, we found out, literally as we were flying over, that we had to have a form completed for the US government and get a rapid test 24 hours (1 day) before boarding our flight. Again, they did that right at the hotel. The Fiji security people at the airport checked that form, kept it, and we never had to show it again. To get back into the US at LAX, all I did was show my passport and walk through. My husband, because he has global entry, didn't even have to show his passport. That didn't fill us with great confidence.
On the planes everyone is masked, but I was most uncomfortable on the domestic flights between LAX and PDX. But we really did have uneventful flights, all legs. No rude or disruptive people, and everyone wore their masks properly, which the attendants thanked all of us for. The flight home to PDX from LAX was booked solid. It was weird to be that close to so many people, knowing that not everyone had to be vaxxed.
We were one of the earliest flights from LAX (not the first, so we didn't get the marching band and dancers at the airport in Fiji), so the flight attendants all wore PPE, the whole flight. I had a little panic walking onto the plane, because I don't see people dressed like that except when I had chemo treatment, but I got over it. Apparently they must have figured out that that wasn't a good look because there was no PPE (just masks) on our flight back to the US.
Once there it was amazing, and the people were so thankful. For almost everyone we saw, it was their first week back to work in over 18 months. I can't express how grateful to see us they were. People waiting for buses or just walking down the road would wave and greet us, knowing we were tourists, well because we're white, but also because we were in a taxi or a tour van.
Lots of trouble getting the paperwork together, but well worth going.

We have been to Fiji 3 times. It's one of my favorite vacation spots for various reasons, but the Fijians are the nicest people I've ever encountered. We never stay on Nadi (the main island), so we will need to determine quarantine requirements before flying to one of the other islands. This sounds like a lot of effort, and with Omicron making its way around, I'm not sure we are willing to do it.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this!

More reflections on survivor/treatment guilt:Thank you all again, for your understanding and advice. Before we left for Fiji, I remembered that a former student of mine, barely 40, was diagnosed with breast cancer a few years ago. I have been following her journey, and I felt motivated to support her. I messaged her, told her a little of my situation, and then said that I wanted to send her a monetary gift. As it turned out, just the week before, her husband lost his job (she isn't really able to work because of treatment), so she said she would accept it. I sent her $1000 to help them through Christmas.
In Fiji, everyone was very kind not to mention my weird body shape and that I was always wearing some kind of hat or cap, until our last cab driver. He took one look at me, stared at my missing breast and asked if I had cancer. I said, yes. He asked what kind, still staring, and trying not to feel really self-conscious, I told him. His wife, again, very young, in her 30s, died of breast cancer in March '21. He told us a little of her story, and the medical guilt increased. She would have had to fly to India to receive radiation, which of course, they didn't do. He is left with a 4 and 6 year old to raise. He shared more of his story, and when he dropped us at the airport, we paid him the fare, with a tip, and then gave him $100 to help pay for school uniforms for his children.
I know these are little things, but my husband and I will keep looking for opportunities to help others deal with the financial burdens of this horrible disease.
And I did end up getting a bill for some of my October treatment, some remainders due after insurance -- $40. So we will have some to pay, but negligible compared to what others are going through.

Yes. We were originally (we booked this back in February 2020) going to stay at Treasure Island, but it hadn't opened yet when we were there last week, I assume because of the difficulty in certifying Covid safe travel to the island. We had booked the Double Tree resort near Nadi as a back up, and it ended up that we needed that. Getting there was simple, and quarantining there wasn't an issue, but if we return, we would like to get off the main island. It just wasn't possible this trip, but perhaps in February things will be better? (or worse?)

Morning again
Went to see Homer and he was happy to see me and now im back home..
The bad thing with working on the afghan is i have been pulling apart the old one,well silly me,i started pulling apart the new one oh lordy.. im back on track
Poor Tracy was exposed to one of her coworkers that had covid.. sooo luckily i bought her a rapid test,she can take that and hope all us well.. she cant afford to take time off until she has the baby.1 -
Kim--What a good feeling to give to someone who can't for themselves. DH belongs to a club and they had a couple families that needed help with Christmas gifts. So he picked one with 3 kids 3-girl, 6-boy, and 9-boy. It was fun buying for them. They each got a toy and an outfit. When the grandkids were younger we would take them to the giving tree and have them pick one and take them shopping. Miss that.
Flea--What a Blessing you are to those people. It makes no sense to me why some people beat cancer and some do not. But you have nothing to feel guilty about, easier said than done I know. But you are here for a reason and helping others is a Blessing.
I have a 2-3 hour meeting this afternoon and I just hope I can stay awake. I woke up at 230 this morning and been up ever since. This not sleeping at night is getting worse. DH has his home sleep study to night.
Blessings, Vicki GRAND ISLAND, NE

Rebecca - Our daughter in law is a brilliant scavenger. She owned one amazing artificial tree that went from the main floor to the second floor ceiling. The staircase wrapped it just right. She found two additional trees that people were throwing or giving away. All three were beautifully decorated by her. I have a 1950’s aluminum tree that was my parents. I set it up once. Not planning to do it again. Last year I brought in a living Alberta Spruce. It was beautiful. I haven’t brought it in so far this year. I hope to avoid becoming a Grinch this year.
The two story tree sounds magical! My mother and stepfather had a potted tree one year, very beautiful. My stepfather and I had quite a traditional thing we did. We drove to the closed tree farm and picked out a tree in the quickest time possible! It usually ended up being a laughing, and tripping on tree stumps hilarious thing! I think one year it was 7 minutes! Then of course the crazy attaching the tree stand to the darn tree. " No its crooked, turn it that way, no the other way, nope still crooked"!!! One year my step father and I decided to create this beautiful 4 foot round wreath made of PVC pipe, green paint and bough branches. It was a disaster! The PVC pipe wouldn't hold (we didn't have Gorilla Glue back then). So I donated my hoola hoop and it was beautiful!
Hugs

Yesterday my neighbor that lives next door and I finally met. Last week the President of our housing assoc. came by and noticed a tree in between us was leaning into the street a little and asked if we were ok with it being cut down. It wouldn't charge us anything, (which I stated that we were renters) so if our management co was ok with it, have at it. Well the city workers were right there cutting another tree, so that afternoon cut ours. So between us is a pile of wood, that is our responsibility to remove. Thought that was chinzy! Well we chatted and I met her 30 some year old son officially. He was the guy that poked his head in our garage one day, telling my son to stop with the scooter revving! My son says he's annoying! I found him to be very courteous. Well yesterday the mom came over because her son has a hankering to trim the trees more towards the backyard, but still in between us. I told her fine. She's a walker and I said we need to go walking together. That should be fun, and hopefully the beginning of a nice friendship. She walks about 5 miles though, so I have my work cut out for me, keeping up with her.

Hello all. I'm on a 2-day streak, yay me!
Vicki: our snow didn't stick around much. Wow, it sounds like hubby has been sick! I'm sending healing thoughts~ good idea for both of you to use the gym. We had our 25th wedding anniversary reception and the band we hired (friends of ours) ended up not being able to play because two of the three members (the 2 unvaccinated ones) got covid, and he died. They were both vaccine and covid deniers, and when she posted on FB that he had died of it, she got so much hate mail from other deniers, that she had to close her account.
Today is in the 50s here and sunny. Tomorrow will be 72 plus sustained winds of 65 mph, then Thursday it will be back in the 40s. What weird weather.
We recently had a two-week Amtrak trip to the west coast, which was delightful, but did nothing for my healthy eating! But I can definitely vouch for Amtrak, especially if you get a bedroom.
I think I have been gone long enough that you don't know about our beagle puppy. Her name is Bella Beagle and it's a darn good thing she's pretty cute. OMG she is a handful. I'll have to get a picture loaded up. One of the three cats really likes her but the others, well, not so much. She did just graduate from reform school (beginner training). We take her to doggy day care for 2 half-days a week and on the other days, she gets a couple hours of walking. And that makes her just manageable. She is sweet though...when she's not eating cat food, kleenex, rocks, paper bags, toilet paper, cat litter, etc. I think 85% of our time interacting with her is pulling non-food items out of her mouth.
We finally discovered how she gets all this stuff. We have been very good about keeping things picked up so she won't get them. BUT Aurora Boreal-mus (her buddy) likes to shove things off of countertops, perhaps trying to hit her on the head, which she then eats. We have caught them in the act several times now. The favorite thing to shove off countertops, which fortunately is not edible, is coffee cups full of coffee. She just pushes them right off. She doesn't run afterwards, either!
Well, time for some lunch and back to Christmas decorating! Take care Meg from sunny Omaha.4 -
Hello all from my new computer! It is slightly larger than my last one; still a Chromebook, though. I actually got it all up and running myself. Got the apps downloaded that were on my other, everything else seems to have transferred over on it's own. Bonus...my old laptop still works, so I will use that for the kids who don't nap, while I can get things done on this new one at that time! Woo-hoo! I had a devil of a time finding my wifi password, though. lol Been so long since I have had to sign in that I forgot where I had put it.
Machka- love the new frames! I went from a bronze, to a purple, to a blue frame.
Michele- Sorry about the girls not being able to spend Christmas with you. Christmas has been quiet for me since DD (and her family) are in Texas.
Flea- Wow! Makes my heart feel good just knowing how you are passing along some "help" to others who need it! I am sure it makes you feel good, too!
Meg- So good to hear from you! Your Amtrak travels sound wonderful. My parents did a National Parks Amtrak tour after my dad retired and during one of my mom's cancer remissions. It was a month long tour and they had such a wonderful time and raved for years about the service, food, and rail employees. Great pics, too!
More of you that I wanted to respond to, but kids are going to be waking up shortly.
On a side note: My trip to Texas has been moved up and I will be flying out on the 24th. SO...I won't be home for my younger son's birthday (on Christmas eve) or Christmas day. Tim is getting himself upset thinking about it. (I have never been someplace else for the holidays) I will have to see if I can think of a way to make Christmas special for him, without me here. I am very excited to be with the grandsons on Christmas morning, though. I think I will try to viber with Tim on Christmas morning, so he can watch the boys open presents.

Meg and Vicki: Please don't get me started on the the freakishly warm weather we have been having. I feel like I am back living in SoCal. Potted pansies on my deck continue to hang on. Surreal.
Machka: I love your accounts of walks with Rhody. It takes a very special person to understand their feline's thoughts and raw instinctual behavior. (Yes, admitting to shameless bias here.)
Margaret: Nobody knows Drew better than you. Your instincts and observations are likely spot on.
Terri: You are an inspiration!!! Continued success, health and brilliant poetry in the New Year.
Flea:Thrilled to read you had the strength to withstand the ardors of international travel. Your positive mindset clearly is working to help you recover physically and mentally. Bravo.
Thank you everyone for sharing the photos of your gorgeous grandkids. Their faces and stories are a blessing to me.
To look at my home you would never know there is a grieving woman who breaks down into an ugly cry every afternoon during some smaltzy holiday movie living here. Nativity scene, lights, table top tree, holiday music and smell of healthy gingerbread in the air. I am going to do my best to embrace this first-time-in-what-feels-like eons opportunity to make the holidays about me. My memories, my taste, my simple pleasures on my time. Every day I have a small to-do list of chores or errands, but otherwise have hours to use as I so please. I have read, baked, crocheted, and sent out a few cards. I took a sewing course one evening (only 6 in group). Went to Broncos football game with my neighbor last Sunday. Have also started attending a church in person (everyone masked). I have tickets to a holiday light show in a botanic garden later this week. This variety of activity is just delicious to me and it does help balance out the blue periods which still hit me hard.
Errands call. Stay well, friends. We can do this.

Barbie – I will be pleased to receive your nudges. I like knitting and enjoy making blankets. Do you have an approximate finished size for the ones you're working on now??
Rebecca- I loved Whidbey Island the time we visited there. We thought about moving there but realized getting there was difficult enough that our own adult kids would not be able to visit us. We decided to stay here. We like our neighbors and have a nice view.
Meg from Omaha - It is great to see you posting. :bigsmile:
I have an appointment for a regular visit with my doctor this afternoon. It will be a simple check-up visit. I hurt my knee some time back and he is helping me to heal the damages. He sent me to physical therapy and I was helped but I haven’t been there since our return from Virginia. I don't know whether he will send me back for PT there now that we have returned home.

The weirdest thing happened just now, this evening.
We were watching a recording I had made in August of PLACE IN THE SUN, a series about buying houses abroad. This one was in southern Spain.
DH said, "Oh that looks a bit like Anthony, Mary's son." Mary is his twin sister, who he only discovered at the age of 48. She is a very passive person, who is now beginning to experience memory loss. The programme gave the same name of his son as in real life. I looked carefully and saw he was the image of DH and Mary! He also had a very strong Yorkshire accent, which was right. The credits rolled up at the end and the name was right!
It was a bit uncanny seeing someone who so resembles DH! Same mannerisms as his mother. DH hasn't seen him in many years. I have never met him. Saw his son once when he was a little boy.
An unexpectedly interesting evening!

Heather, Wow that is so interesting. Was it actually him, then?

Thinking I might be branded a snake oil salesman, but one of our little Yorkies (Mabel) has had problems with tummy ache/constipation/full anal glands on & off for weeks. She does well for a day, but the next 2 days she avoids eating, sleeps a lot, and acts wimpy.
Last week I started putting one drop of CBD oil in each feeding, and since then, she is perky and eating every meal and seems fine. I remembered CBD helped Farley & Bailey with arthritis pain, appetite, and energy/playfulness, so I decided to try it with Mabel. It seems to be a small miracle so far.

Flea- You have a generous heart to send money to a former student in need. You are a remarkable woman. I am happy that you were able to take your family trip to Fiji.
Rebecca – You have some good Christmas memories. It sounds like your step father was a good person. A hula hoop would make a spectacular wreath.
Meg - Happy day two. You have been missed and it is good to see you again.
(((Rori ))) – Grieving takes its own time and crying is sometimes the only thing to do. Stay well.
Karen – It is good to know that CBD oil has helped your Yorkies. We used it on our old dog, Schooner, when he was having pain. We both miss that dog and will be looking for another in the New Year.
We had a grinchy sad Christmas several years ago and brought a very old aluminum tree down from the garage attic that my parents bought years ago in the eaalrly1960’s. We still have it but haven’t set it up again.
This year I am planning to use our living Alberta Spruce tree. It is a comfortable size for the place I have in mind in front of the window and it survived being inside before in past years.
Have a good morning, afternoon, evening, or night.

Kim - it sounds like you, Kyle and the GF had a wonderful evening. It fascinates me how so many members of the subsequent generations don't learn to cook. I was cooking at 5 years old--my mother kept box tops from Imperial Sugar, and redeemed them for My First Cookbook. I was so tiny at the time, I would burn my knees on the open oven door while pulling my cookie sheets out of the oven. Not sure if anyone else remembers these, but the pic is in the spoiler:

Thank you, Lisa ... and thank you all about my new glasses. I'm getting used to them because they are a different configuration from my previous ones, but one really nice feature is that I can see my computer screens!
Regarding cooking ... my grandmother loved cooking, my mother did not. So she didn't want to inflict the process of learning to cook on me.
I tend to assemble food rather than cook it and I will take the easiest possible route.
For example, 90 second packaged rice in the microwave rather than actually cooking rice.
And for the beekeeper group Christmas party on Sunday, we picked up cookies from the grocery store bakery. When I could pick up a dozen shortbread cookies for $3.50, I wasn't about to go through the whole process of making them!

Katla, The blankets I have knit recently for Project Linus measure approximately 45 inches across and 56 inches long. I got the suggested measurements from our local Project Linus website. I buy yarn online for several reasons. When I was actually going into stores (Wal Mart, JoAnn Fabrics, Michael's) I couldn't always find colors I liked or a sufficient amount even if I found a color I liked. When I stopped shopping in stores (March 2020), it became absolutely necessary for me to shop online. Now I have many choices and can buy as much as I want and I have it come to my door or my mailbox. Barbie

Terri – you SHOULD be happy with that weight loss I’m so very happy for you.
Katla – I think you have me confused with someone else. I’m not going to Kentucky. We recently went to see Jess is Iowa. All the outside decorations are done, Vince is working on the last of the Christmas trees. He enjoys decorating. We really had to scale back this year (like we didn’t put up the arches and there are fewer ornaments on the trees) since we went to Iowa. Since Jess graduates in May, I’m thinking that we’ll be able to do more next year
Wrapped the presents we have for Denise, Pete and PJ. Just going to put them with the slide I have for him and we’ll give them to them when we go up next. Still waiting for a gift card to a restaurant near them then I’ll send them their card. Most of the restaurants by her wouldn’t mail me a gift card! One wanted to keep it at their bar and it can be used when they go there. Ah...no. There’s no way they’re going to remember that they have a gift card. Also, online Ruby Tuesday didn’t have any gift cards, but Publix here did. Go figure!
Messaged my neurologist to ask if there was a specific reason he wanted the sleep study where you are there (I forget what it’s called) and not the home study. Really, his answer didn’t answer the question. So I messaged him again saying that my husband did the home sleep study, was diagnosed with severe sleep apnea and got his CPAP a few days later. If I were to do the home study, I could get my CPAP even before the next available appointment for the sleep study you need to go there for. Actually, that isn’t the total truth. The truth is that it would be much easier for me to do it at home.
Worked then went to Dollar General. They didn’t have any holiday dishtowels (surprise, surprise) but they DID have distilled water for Vince so I got three. Then went to the post office to mail a towel to Steve and one to Ming. Then stopped on my way home at CVS and told them that I totally forgot my coupon when I bought the Regenerest yesterday. The gal said that she couldn’t just give me the $5 since it had already been purchased (huh? ok). So I asked her if I could return it and then repurchase it using my coupon. I took one off the shelf but when she scanned my receipt and the item, the register had a note that the item was not found. HUH??? She had it right in front of her. So I called CVS headquarters. Some of the questions the gal asked me were off the wall. Like she asked me for the expiration date. What does the expiration date have to do with a refund?
Allie – I was thinking of you earlier. Wasn’t there something about Homer having doggie dementia? How did that turn out? Lexi has dementia. I feel so sorry for her.
KJ – great that you got a new computer and even better that you can still use your old one. Multiple computers are a real god send
We were at ceramics tonight and the gal who runs it was saying to us that every Christmas Eve or Christmas Day they go out for Chinese food. Vince was talking about going out on Christmas Day so that’s an idea. I’m wondering if we should ask Ken and Lynette over for Christmas Eve mainly to keep my mind off the fact that Denise gave us such a poor excuse not to come down here. Have a great trip! How exciting!
Rori – we’ve been having weird weather, too. Today the high was in the 50’s. By Saturday it’s supposed to be in the 70’s. My sinuses are not liking this at all. Sounds like you are doing a lot but still (((HUGS))). I wish you could be here for Christmas Eve.
Well, the neurologist said that I could have the home sleep study but if there is sleep apnea he wants me to get a CPAP titration rather than an auto CPAP. Not sure what a CPAP titration is, tho

Katla, my step father literally saved my Mom and I. We were not enjoying life, that was for certain. It was interesting watching my Mom get wooed by him, he was very careful trying to do everything "right". He made my Mom laugh which was a thumbs up from me. He grew and tended bonsai trees on our deck, watching him was mesmerising. He was more like my father than my own father. It was only after I left to live on my own, that I realized that. Great memories!

Hi all! New here today as doctor says I need to lose weight and reduce my glucose levels. Getting a knee replacement soon so no exercising until Spring probably. Hopefully I can made some changes using diet only.
