Morning peeps, we’ll….. it was bound to happen sooner or later, kirby tested positive for Covid. He had flu like symptoms yesterday so he went to bed early. We had two tests here so he tested himself and it came up +, I tested and came up negative. Got my mask on inside and we will roll with it.8

Pip, I know the feeling. We avoided Covid for 2 1/2 then I got a cough and tested positive. Dave was negative, but it only took 4 days for his symptoms to appear. Prayers that yours and Kirby’s healthy lifestyles will keep the symptoms minimal.
I almost have my house decorated for Christmas. I did everything but the tree yesterday. We have the tree up now, but I needed a break before I started the ornaments. So far, the cat has explored it without actually touching it. Fingers crossed on that one. He is still a kitten, after all.
I am trying very hard to follow my food boundaries in December. Luckily we don’t go to a lot of holiday parties or anything. I’m truth journaling three times a day to help. My questions were coincidentally about exercise. I got ip after finishing the journaling and did my back exercise. So, it is working. Early days though. I’ve been here before.
Lisa, another vote for “go for it” on the land.
I opened facebook last night to learn that a good work friend lost her 39 year old son on Thanksgiving Day. We haven’t been diligent about keeping up the friendship since I retired. I don’t know what happened. Obit just says brief illness. He has a wife and 3 beautiful children. They were all in the Thanksgiving family photo that my friend posted the day before. I’m thinking it had to be a heart attack or aneurism or something similar. Another reminder that life is short and we never know.

Annie - I've read every Agatha Raisin book by MC Beaton at least twice. It's almost time to read them a third time, lol. Same with Beaton's Hamish MacBeth series.

THANK YOU MACHKA!!! It was truly wonderful to reflect all month long! I had to put some thought into all of those! And I'm in to do it again. I will try my best to use DIFFERENT answers this month, since some of the questions are the same.
1 What is something that makes you laugh? my grandchildren and my dog!
2 Something about the current season you’re grateful for. giving
3 What about your body do you love/are you grateful for? my hair is incredibly easy to take care of

Carol - I haven't tasted them yet! They were quite a bother to mold together, but otherwise easy enough. I forgot to chop the dried cranberries. I aimed to make 16-18 and added more ingredients to do so, but only managed to get 14. My son says 8 are for him and we can have one each! This is the recipe.

DH is making dinner tonight. Because we were expecting his sister and boyfriend I hadn't got a meal in mind because we were going to the Persian restaurant. He is going to make his signature chicken stew. I can smell it cooking now.
I proposed going to the restaurant onTuesday evening instead, after our Bea pick up. It's really near their house and we can call in on the boutique brewery on the way! I think it is so important to have a 'date' now and then. We love it. But I hate dragging myself out in these cold nights. This way we will be on our way home anyway.

Annie, Have you checked with your local public library? My library has two audio book services that allow me to check out and download audio books for 21 days to listen to on my computer or my phone.

1. Something that makes me laugh - my little dog Teddy. His ears flop wildly when he bounces up the stairs!
2. Something about the current season - a warm house. I can hear the cold wind outside but it's cozy in here.

Lisa, I hope you buy the land & house. I don't think you will ever regret it. If you don't buy it, on the other hand...
Lanette, I bought a dog supplement from Amazon, and the package was sealed too close to the seam, so the seam split and the item was missing. I received an empty package. I asked for a replacement. I explained that there was no item to send back for replacement, that it was missing, but nonetheless, they charged my account for another bottle because I didn't send the original one back. I don't believe I still have the original packaging, but I did take a picture of it. It's a hassle I don't want to deal with. Also, I have had some delayed deliveries, very atypical for Amazon in the past.
Barbara, I love the name you chose for your Roomba.

I was given a leather recliner from a Buy Nothing group member for my brother's apartment! So now he will be able to have a guest over to watch TV with him or eat dinner. Now we just need a side table and small corner display cabinet and he will be pretty much set. Maybe another floor lamp. It's coming along. Today we will go to a tasting at the Leek & Thistle down the street from his apartment to see if their delivered food will be a possibility for some of his meals. Looking forward to it.

Thanks, Barbie, for the link to the new month.

Karen, I love the name of the shop Leek and Thistle.... so googled it, if items are as good in real life as they sound, its a winner... and the pricing is good! fingers crossed that it turns out to be so good. Who knows they might be willing to have a spot with some of DB's art work for sale... Or trade for one of their gift cards.

Ahhh I think I've found my way back. I've been back on MFP for some time but am now just getting back into the message boards. I would say I'm new but I'm not as I've been on MFP before and lost my way. Now things have changed.
I have chosen to take my life back so to speak in the sense of emotional, spiritual, and yes now physical health. By that, I mean that I lost a lot of me when my mom passed earlier this year due to complications related to Dementia. Being the youngest and with COVID I couldn't spend time with her and the guilt today still tears me up but I know she looks down on me smiling today.
I believe I was a member of the Group when I was "50" kinda ironic that I'm now finding my way back getting ready to turn 54 later this month. I may not always feel the blessings but I know I've been gifted something by the angels looking down on me.
Ladies if you'd be so inclined if you wish to send a friend request to a 53 soon to be 54 y/o New Englander who was born and raised in Upstate NY and who thinks just by reading the posts she's in the right place. I'll gladly return the favor and friend you back
Have a great evening,
Chris
