    The vet thinks an ulcer might be the cause so her treatment is tailored to this. Only way to tell for sure is a very invasive test. A problem I am having already is two of her meds are taken with food and she is not eating again. She ate some of the rice and boiled hamberger and/or chicken. Today no go. Those who have dogs have you ever had this condition with your fur baby and how did you help them regain their health. :heart: Margaret

    Margaret I never had to deal with a canine ulcer. Good luck. Teddy did go through a stage of not eating when we first moved here. I started taking the food away after fifteen minutes, and he got used to the idea that he better eat promptly. But he wasn't ill, just being picky/anxious.

    I still need to do my Christmas shopping today. I get anxious over gifts as well as a hundred other worrisome things. Do you all have any gift ideas?

    Annie,

    I try to go consumable when I can. Food, drinks, bath/beauty if I know what they like but perhaps won’t buy for themselves. My BFF usually gets goat soap that she loves (and can afford but won’t buy for herself) from me.

    Not giving gifts this year, apart from the grandchildren. Only one person was put out. Most were just relieved. :p

    I usually get gift cards for the few people I give gifts to. Amazon is great. A few clicks on December 23rd, and I'm done.

    I bought books for my Dad and my mom. She gets Kristen Hannah. He gets an adventure about Teddy Roosevelt on the Amazon. And my sister gets luggage from her wish list, that is from me and my parents. So that leaves my Aunt and Uncle and my cousin. I'm not even really sure we are exchanging gifts with them. Or whether we will do a meal together and buy them a ham or something. I guess I need to go over there again and ask what they want to do. I feel so awkward about that and I don't know why.

    We are home and happy. We had a great time with our son, ddil, and grandsons in Virginia. We were happy to cuddle the new baby and play with his big brother.

    I have had some challenges logging in here and am grateful for my friends here who have helped me to join the thread.

    We have year around hummingbirds here and they’ve been peeking in our windows to see that we’re at home. A good friend in our neighborhood kept their feeders full while we were away.

    I am happy to be here with all of you.

    Took me over an hour but I got all the batteries in the toys- Ezie will have a lot of fun when she comes in Monday.
    I know, the one quilt really doesn't go with it BUT, that was made by my great grandmother. The top anyways. Mom had them for about 50 yrs before she had a friend finish them off for us. Grandma Bee loved to make crazy quilts and I love having it on my couch.

    Had a fun party tonight with lots of food, music and games. We got a little lost coming home but Siri got us on the right track.
    Thanks for all the book suggestions.
    Michele- I am sure they appreciate your working extra hours. Several of our restaurants had to reduce hours because pg lack of staff.
    Tired tonight as we had a bad storm last night and it kept us awake.

    I used to feel awkward doing that sort of thing ... partly because my mother used to be the one to do it.
    But then I realised that I'm in my mid-50s, and my mother was in her mid-50s when I was depending on her to be part of organising family gatherings etc. so it was time for me to step up.

    Go in with an idea in your mind of what you'd LIKE to do. Then if they are hesitant and not sure, you can say, "What if we do this ...". You may have to compromise a bit, but you've got a chance of getting what you'd like.

    Rebecca, I thought you might enjoy seeing the aprons my mom made for my sister’s daughter and two grandchildren out of the scraps from making them stockings and pillow covers and a piece of material she found in her stash of purple and gold dancers. hebzqpdfigp6.jpeg

    How wonderful!!! Great job!💖👍

    :) I just finished knitting another blanket for Project Linus. Our chapter has donated over 2000 blankets so far this year and there will be another delivery next week. I'll drop off my blanket tomorrow along with a few knitted hats.

    :) Knitting is what I do instead of decorating and buying gifts.

    Worked, then stopped at Food Lion for soda for Vince since it’s on sale today. The FL by me no longer gives out rainchecks so I went to another FL who usually has the soda and they did. Then we put out more of the Christmas decorations. Got in over 10,000 steps. How I miss my exercise!

    The plan for tomorrow is to do Bob Harper’s Ultimate Cardio Body DVD

    Am making a tunnel of fudge cake for Vince’s birthday. I’ll take it to ceramics Monday since we won’t be there Tuesday (I have to lector, I totally forgot feast of Annunciation)

    Ordered the wrong cat litter from Chewy so I wrote them asking if I could exchange it. Instead, they are crediting my credit card for the litter with the understanding that I donate it to the Humane Society. They’ve always been very good. One time we got some cat treats and the container opened up. They sent us a new container. This time they’re crediting my account even tho I told them that I know it’s my own fault. I think that is very nice of them.

    Rebecca – love those M&M characters. Where did you get them?

    Barbara – no, I don’t plan to quit BK. Usually I only work M-F. The gal who does the prep on the weekends is gone to Vietnam to see her father for the month. I’m going to be working the Saturdays until she gets back. I seem to recall that she’ll return around the 27th. I talked to the manager to ask her 1) if we’re open New Year’s Day. We are, but they are opening later. And 2) does she want me to come in on Jan. 1? It’s interesting, she said “I’d rather have you”. Guess I can take that as a compliment. I told her that I know what I’m going thru trying to catch up having been away for a week, I can hardly imagine what she’s having to do when she gets back. Also, this will make me look better (hopefully) when I ask to take a month off in February/March

    Lost my pen at work today. Oh well...not like that’s a biggie, I can always get another one. I did chop up extra lettuce and wrapped extra cheese for the manager who will be doing the prep tomorrow. She asked me to chop the onions. I didn’t think you could do that, but I did it for her. I was going to peel more onions, but didn’t bother

    Julie – why won’t you get the moderna if a 4th booster is called for?

    Really need to get started on my cards. Wonder why I’m procrastinating? That’s not like me. I usually have them done by Thanksgiving. Update: did them.

    Carol – handsome grandson

    Debbie – glad the cat must be alive

    DrKatie – loved the things your mom made

    Michele NC
    who is glad she isn’t working tomorrow and can exercise
