    Pampered my feet just a little today. Well overdue. ;) I must do it more often, but always put it off.

    I'm making a big pot of Masala Peas, that should do for two dinners, if not more. Having it tonight with monkfish kebabs. Yum. :D
    Did a woolly wash and I've hung it up in the utility room. (No dryer)

    Terrible night's sleep. Will have a short nap in a minute when the peas are done.

    PS - I am playing with some sentences for the blurb. At least I've made a start.

    Love to all. Heather UK xxxxxx

    :)Annie stay strong and just put one foot in front of the other and you'll get through this challenge.

    :)Allie Thanks for sharing the photos and news that Carmine came to Miles' birthday party. I want so much for Carmine to find their way and for their parents to not be a road block.

    :) Annie, the puppy, chewed such a big hole in back of her dog bed that it nearly beyond repair. We may be going to Petco this morning to buy a new one.

    I saw Seth walk by the window,so I knew both came,and they brought Miles a card and a present.. she gave or let us all give her a hug and ,I sat at the dining table and bawled like a baby.. I thank Karen,Seths mom for finally talking some sense into Carmine..it was wonderful seeing her.
    After I left went to get kitty stuff at Petsmart and came home,and I looked everywhere for my phone.. nowhere,drove all the way back to Petsmart ,and someone turned it in..praise the lord..
    We are supposed to get socked in with snow but I'll believe it when I see it..
    Miles had 2 cupcakes and the sugar flipped him out..

    Allie so awesome about Carmine going to the party and ‘allowing’ everyone to hug her. I pray she visits more often.🙏

    Machka I‘ll look at the email metadata to see where it comes from and let you know. If I find a link to join it, I’ll provide that as well. I belong to Amazon Prime First Reads to get free books from there to, all digital though.

    Rita - I read that having coffee prior to "fasting" morning glucose readings can make it rise. In some folks, not necessarily all. I have the Reli-on glucose test kit I got at Walmart and sometimes check readings an hour or two after eating. They have always been well within range. So I think over all things are working pretty well despite my over 100 fasting readings at the doc's office.

    Carol - sorry so much chaos at your house this past week. Hope your hospitalized BIL does OK.

    With this new Windows 11, I see there's an MSN weather forecast appearing on the left side of the task bar at the bottom of this screen. It's pretty accurate. I like it. :p I think the old one had similar but there were so many apps in that taskbar it got lost.

    And another blessing in disguise with this laptop not being able to load my old "profile".... instant decluttering! No more scads of bookmarks and stuff to wade through. Here's a chance for me to keep things tidy in this machine. I like it.

    Gals - reminder to get the "weekly check-in" info to me today or tomorrow morning the latest. ;)

    Sunny (for the moment) SW WA State where I'm heading out to let the hens run for a few minutes.

    Debbie - what show is that? It sounds like one my Granddaughter might like.



    My daughter that has been trying so hard to have a baby told me tonight that one of their friends is starting a go fund me to help for their next IVF round. I’m so glad they are allowing this, it will help them to try again sooner. It takes a long time to save the amount of money they need for this. She estimates that they have already spent 30K over the last two years. They have done that, finished school that they didn’t take loans for and bought a house in the last 5 years and they have not asked for help from anyone as a matter of fact they helped others as well. They make me so proud.

    It is called "Bluey" very cute-they live in Australia so their comments are different than I am used to . A few I have had to look up.
    Love how the parents(they are all dogs) are very hands on with the two kids, especially the dad.

    Did Denise Austin’s Power Zone DVD then took a walk around the neighborhood. Then went to Aldi and home for breakfast and then helped Vince bring in most of the rest of the Christmas decorations. Then did the wind ever pick up!!!


    Tracey – it sure is amazing the people you meet!

    Annie – the story about the strangers coming to your house for Thanksgiving reminds me of the saying “guest in the home is God in the home” (apologies if anyone finds this offensive)

    When Jess came here she bought these articles of clothing for me to sew. Honestly, if it were me, I’d just buy new clothes. It’s not that much. And you know how much of a cheapskate I can be.

    Aldi had spaghetti squash on sale so I’m making that in the IP right now. Have yogurt in the other IP. I put it on before I went to help Vince then when we came in for lunch I noticed it said “off”. I realized what must have happened is that I didn’t push the “yogurt” button hard enough. So now it’ll be done around 10. Then I’ll let it drip overnight

    Carol – I’m so very sorry to read about your BIL

    kylia – you should see the condition of the break room at BK when I go in in the morning. Drinks spilled and not cleaned up, food wrappers, half eaten sandwiches, drink, just to name a few. How difficult is it to clean up after yourself before you leave? When you spill your drink, how difficult is it to take a paper towel and wipe it up?

    Barbie – I have Hoopla and Libby, too. But I do find that they don’t have all that many ebooks. I also have them not only from NC but also from FL. It’s interesting, if there is a book anywhere in NC, I have access to it. However, in FL I only have access to books in that county. Different states…..
