Christmas Eve Bicycle ride Testing the left hand. Could use more padding. Damaged 2nd CMC joint in my hand on December 2. That's approximately where the base of the thumb attaches to the hand and affects several hand bones that come together in the same general area. Not good for things like braking. Garden Planted 2 more…

We got 25.8 mm (1 inch) of rain yesterday so I only got into the garden for about 15 minutes. It rained here and there today too, but I managed a walk. I've been exploring our new neighbourhood. :) I also made dinner tonight! My husband has made this dinner before, but it has been a little while and he was feeling…

Can you both go home and get a good night's sleep now while she is sedated?

You don't have to do any of that. Those things are not important. Please take care of yourself, starting with seeing your doctor and getting your medications back in order. {{{{Hugs}}}}

Chiropractor - I've been going to one since I was in my early teens, on and off. These days, it's common for them to have their patients go to a GP to get a referral for the X-ray, as that is the less expensive route. Work-related gifts - we can't receive gifts from outside parties in my office, and we don't exchange gifts…

You know your household is dealing with long-term medical issues when the one and only Christmas card you get is from the local chemist. :) :neutral: That's OK ... I don't send cards so it's doubtful I'll get any. But it did strike me as funny to get one from this particular chemist. They know me by name now! Machka in Oz

Walking today ... was hoping to try cycling today but it was too windy for my wrist to hold the bicycle steady. So I explored our new neighbourhood some more. Yesterday evening, my husband and I went into the city. First we had dinner at the city's Street Eats -- a collection of food trucks and live music which is held…

Another couple hours in the garden today doing what I could while protecting a bad left wrist. I think I might have gotten a little overheated under the blazing sunshine. Inside, it was all about laundry and another Christmas movie. M in Oz

Like the others have said ... you don't have to rescue everyone. No one has the right to announce they are going to move into your house. If someone did that to me, that would guarantee a "NO!" response. Why not teach him how to find a storage unit for his stuff and a place to stay so that he can do it entirely by himself…

I have S. America, Africa and Antarctica left on my list. Prior to my husband's accident, I toyed with the idea of joining an Antarctica summer expedition. They're hiring now for next summer and I'd go as an IT Officer. We have a friend who has gone a number of times. https://jobs.antarctica.gov.au/jobs-in-antarctica/ But…

If it were me, I would laugh like he had just made a joke, and would say, "No". Then I would ask him what places he has looked at to move to already, and if he has any viewings set up for next week.

After I moved to Australia, I struggled with the Christmas feeling for a while because things are different here. It's the Southern Hemisphere, so it's warm and summer at Christmas, and while some traditions are much the same (based on British traditions), it has a different feeling. And I also miss the childlike Christmas…

I have been getting National Geographic in my email Inbox, but I cancelled it today because I know I can just go to Libby to see it. One less thing appearing in my Inbox! M in Oz

Relax and enjoy the good things. :)

What if you did something completely different this year. Don't buy your husband any gifts. Don't cook. Don't bring anyone food. Don't be anywhere near any of the drama. Instead ... Tell your mom and you and she are going to ... wherever (New York, San Diego, a ranch in Montana or wherever, Ruby's Inn at Bryce Canyon).…

Nice!! :)

Well, that idea went out the window as I spent 15 hours working on the database I'm converting yesterday. Fortunately, I was working from home, so I was comfortable. By the time I'm done, this database should be about a quarter its original size and a lot more functional. It's a beautiful day out there and I would like to…

Yes, unfortunately Canada Post likes to do that around Christmas. I'm not sending anything to my family this year. Machka in Oz (Canadian/Australian)

Bit gusty out there! We've got a Severe Weather Warning for Damaging Winds and a low pressure system going by ... again. It has been so windy here since the end of August. Machka in Oz

Sitting in the dark, except for the Christmas lights on, and listening to Christmas music is one of my favourite parts of Christmas. Peaceful.
