    Well I heard from another guy on the dating site. This one lasted twenty minutes. He refused to chat about his hometown, and mentioned sex twice. Nope. Not a gentleman and likely not from the town he listed. The worst part is that I let my frustration drive me to ice cream. I am just about done with this game.

    Meanwhile my friend who had the stroke has been in the hospital with AFib. I'm worried about him.

    And my mother is making plans for me to go out shopping for her. Christmas has way too many surprise errands.

    Had soup kitchen today. Texted the guy about the drain (he was supposed to be here today). I know it has been raining so I asked him if the rain delayed some jobs. He is going to come next Wed. or Thurs. Not sure which day, yet. The only thing we have is Newcomer bowling on Wed. night

    Karen – so glad you had such a good move. It can be really hair raising but you came thru it with shining colors

    Made the butter cookies to take to Jess, have them in the freezer right now. I’m procrastinating wrapping the presents, but I know that I have to do that tonight.

    Tried this chocolate thing at the soup kitchen. It was one of the peanutbutter balls! So I had to have a piece of fudge and then a piece of peppermint bark just to get the taste out of my mouth. Have to lector at the church tomorrow

    Flea – prayers for you and your whole family as you go thru this terrible time. My heart is with you

    Wrapped all the presents.

    Guess I'll be a nice guy and ask BK if they want me to come in Thurs since I won't be there Fri, Sat, the following Mon and I usually don't work on Tues. Actually, I don't want to come in Tues so I'll probably tell them that I'm not sure which day we're coming back, Mon or Tues

    Katla?

    Siblings: I had one sister, diagnosed with schizophrenia when she was 21, so not much help as a sibling. I mourned the loss of her my whole adult life. She died about five years ago, and I am thankful she is finally healed and at peace.

    I am with my mother. Hospice predicts she will pass on the next few hours or days. I drove up last night. My husband and son are on their way to Belize, and I will join them later, if I am able. This is hard, but my mom is ready to go. She is completely non responsive, so I have the lights dimmed and traditional Christmas music playing. She hasn't had anything to eat or drink for over 24 hours.

    So sorry Felicia. ((Hugs))

    Flea: I am sure your mom is looking forward to wearing her new angel wings. How blessed she is to have you and hospice help her through this sacred transition. A giant hug to you is coming down the wire.

    Machka: Topical arnica gel has always helped my bruises heal quickly. It also comes in little homeopathic tablets you take sublingual. Take care!

    To everyone else under the weather or feeling worn out, get well. Stay well. We can do this.

    Flea-thinking of you with your mother. I have been blessed to be with three people I love-SIL, mother and husband when they transitioned. I consider it a blessing because no one should die alone and I was able to show them love one last time. Hope it is peaceful for her. You need to also take care of yourself after the vigil.

    Karen-sounds like your move was textbook. We paid someone to move us to my current house nearly 30 years ago when the boys were small. We both worked. While the money was expensive for us at that time-it was a life saver. Kids to day care after leaving old house, came home to new with beds, etc. all ready for them.

    Katla-glad you are in new apartment closer to your husband and can be with him regularly.

    Annie-never used a dating site and doubt I ever do. Of course, I'm not particularly interested in dating at my age (68), but if would consider dinner with someone interesting if they are ever placed in my path.

    Pretty much finished with going into the office for the year. May do some work from home once I return from Arizona. Have a couple of items to follow up with on Monday. Today going to watch twin grandsons play different sports-one is playing basketball, the other indoor soccer. Will take Christmas presents to them. Rest of weekend giving house thorough cleanings-get to some of the stuff neglected past two months due to surgery. Leave Tuesday to go to Az with kids.

    Need to get some presents wrapped to take with me. Nice part is-all of the Christmas presents will be cleared out of spare bedroom soon!

    Take care all,

    Good morning ladies!

    Flea, our thoughts are with you as you share this special time with your mother. Hope it was a peaceful night.

    I received a selection of tea as a gift, so I will be experimenting with various levels of caffeine. Yesterday was green tea with peppermint and lemongrass. Very tasty! Today was Earl Grey, a favorite classic but with more caffeine. I hope to get a lot done! There's wrapping presents, and a couple thank yous, and the usual cleaning my room. Maybe I will wash my sheets and my
    blanket. Wheeeeee!
