    :)Heather, I had a good laugh. I read "Polish" app and thought you were learning another language. Then I saw your lovely photos.

    :) to all who are recovering. Sit down or lie down or rest in some way. Most of what needs to be done can wait another day or week or someone else can do it.

    Debbie, wonderful news on your margins.

    Machka, You look a good kind of tough with that black eye. Hope you aren't in too much pain. I hope you heal well and quickly.

    Barbara, loved that Joe shopped for Toys for Tots.

    Allie, good for you to hunker down and rest today.

    I'm getting over my bug. I think it was flu, as I never tested positive for Covid. I"ll go back to masking when I need to go out in public.

    Rebecca--Love the picture of the family with Santa.
    Allie--I agree stay home and rest. Take care of yourself.
    Machka--Sending prayers for quick healing.
    Going to a meeting this afternoon and it's just dumb stuff. But someone has an issue and wants to drag the rest of us managers into it.
    Another cold and windy day. Have a school program for several of the DGC tonight so plan to attend that.
    Blessings, Vicki GRAND ISLAND, NE <3

    Karen ... excited with you! Thinking "no ice, no ice, no ice!"

    Lisa ... the Cowboy cookies are HUGE! (not that anyone is complaining in my house ...) I do think I'm going to flash freeze some for baking at another time though ... or try making them smaller and mess around with the baking time. As luck would have it, I had the dough all ready to go and then the electric went out! I looked at my husband and didn't say a word ... he went and fired up the generator so I could bake the cookies. :D

    Terri ... glad you and your husband are starting to feel a little better.

    Allie ... I'm with Barbie, rest!

    Beth near Buffalo where it's very windy (still don't have electric) and another storm is predicted for the weekend ...

    Oh Karen! How exciting! Hope it's a smooth operation. <3

    We are at the grandkids. Edie decided she wanted to go to the carol concert, so we just had Bea. Chicken pox regime included lavender oil in the bath, Pyriton at bedtime, and some foam to rub on the spots. Bea did most of that bit.
    I ordered the fish and chips and mushy peas, but the order came up as cancelled after ten minutes. Probably staff problems as it is freezing out there. I reordered from another place and it all came along fine.
    My son told me that he had checked that the oil fired electric radiator was on, but it wasn't. After fiddling with various buttons, I found it wasn't plugged in. Now their enormous living room is warming up, but we are dressed for the Arctic, with blankets on our knees. Their heating system barely works, but as they are moving out in twelve days time, it's not worth mending. They are having a new system with the renovation. The kitchen is warm with underfloor heating.
    Hope they are not too late back.

    Love you loads, Heather UK xxxxxxxx

    My motivation has seeped away - as soon as I got the Christmas presents all wrapped for the grands, I've just been doodling away. I did talk to my sis and did some editing for her and gave her a little advice - she's writing a book on a subject I know nothing at all about, but told her I'd be willing to edit in small chunks (she's up to 85,000 words, and thinks she's about halfway through).

    I won't kid you, I was a little worried--I'm a sharp-edged editor, and when I'm editing a document, there is no "Well, maybe you could change this." You just get the red lines. She knows this, but sent it to me anyway... B)

    So, I told her how to restructure her introduction (it's a book meant for scholars, and there's an etiquette to that.) Also explained why she needed a foreword... She sent me back the heavily revised foreword, and it was honestly outstanding. She understood what I was driving at with my notes and incorporated them without changing her text too much. Makes me so happy that she's a good writer, that she has her own distinctive voice, and that she trusts me with her baby.

    I do hope we will continue to grow closer in the years to come. When the parents are gone, our siblings are the only ones who've known us our whole lives.

    Corey was going to try to ooooooze out of work an hour early, but I guess he didn't make it. He's really looking forward to his next four days off, even if it is a staycation. Not sure he's looking forward to the grands as much as I am, but I can't wait!

    Dang, Machka,     that looks so painful! Hope you're enjoying your staycation as well as could be expected. How does Rowan do when you're under the weather like this?

    OK, time to go get one thing done before 4:30. Swear.
    I'm gonna.
    Love y'all,
    Lisa in AR

    Two of my old school friends now have covid. P has had to cancel her flight on Sunday to Gibraltar to join her husband. She has managed to reschedule for the 26th. They are unconnected cases.

    I'm hoping we will be all well for Christmas. I think I might get some kind of backup plan together, with all these viruses flying around. Otherwise we will have nothing much to eat. I have skate in the freezer, so just need to think about sides. I can rustle up a nice lunch if needed from the stuff we were going to have in the evening. And we have champagne! And Christmas cake.

    Hope you thoroughly enjoy your family tomorrow Lisa. <3:D

    Love Heather UK xxxxxxxx
