Replacing the much lamented 'On My Mind' profile option, this thread is for musings, jottings, whimsies, preoccupations and the rest of the thesaurus for anyone to jot down anything they please.
I can't remember what the maximum character count was before, can anyone else? But anyway it wasn't very many so let's keep to that.
I had the colonoscopy because the tumour from my endometrial cancer revealed a genetic anomaly that predisposes me to other lynch syndrome cancers. All in all the test wasn't too bad, probably because I can't remember any of it!
I was up for the challenge to have these delivered by Instacart, not an easy thing as the stores were out of stock, it took awhile.
Talking with G the last few months, he knew his days were numbered. He had several heart bypasses over 10 years ago and never did get his diabetes under control. I wasn't surprised when I got the news but I am sad - not for him as he is free of his earthly troubles - but for myself and the others who will miss him.
He wanted us to spread Gordie's ashes in Jasper this summer. I will do it in both their memories.
As much as I hate the idea of being caught up in the medical system I know how fortunate we are to have access to it.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
early bird - You ARE an early bird. but Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and all! 🤶🎅
Stay safe and be smart all.
Three NFL games cancelled tomorrow. Colorado Avalanche no games until the 23rd, ten layers out with covid.
It's on my To-Do list to get info about continuing school part time instead of full time. I've finished 14 classes and have 4 + capstone left, and I'm torn about whether to keep the pedal down or ease up. I think info about financial aid will help me decide. Not sure they would cover as much for part time.
This time of year always seems to bring so many extra responsibilities. My car needs new tires for the winter and my battery was dead yesterday so that needs a check up... and work parties and family gatherings and travel, and I guess the nephews/niece are getting cash again this year because I have no clue what to get them even if I went to a mall.
And I don't host or cook a thing! Hats off to those of you who do. :-)
Hoping there isn't a spike in covid cases after the holidays but... we'll see.
All the restrictions are slowing getting reinforced again. It's sooo depressing. I've got covid fatigue on top of covid fatigue.
No Christmas get togethers this year, not that I'm too disappointed about that cause I usually regret going to be honest but I am so sorry for everyone who this is affecting.
Over several hours, I've taken two melatonin tabs, two doses of dyphenhydramine, and glyciene. I'm relaxed... but can't sleep. Doc and I talked about insomnia last visit. She shared that she couldn't sleep for several days that week and was picking up her own Rx for Ambien. I think hormonal changes play a big part in insomnia for women.
the various hard situations we're dealing with.
emergencies, problems, illness...
wishing us luck! :)
sometimes, it's simply a matter of luck...our LOs's health is better/less complicated than someone else's health.
and then there's money...the more money your LOs have, the more options they have.
courage!! :)
we're trying our best. :)
Going to spend time with the kiddos today, spend the night, maybe make krumkake this afternoon, Mexican traditional holiday dinner tonight of tamales and tacos with fixens and sides. Follow up with my doc tomorrow early am.

The stuff nightmares are made of!
It makes me think of the time I brought a bunch of plants into the house because of an unexpected frost and inadvertently brought a garter snake in too and it came out to explore once it warmed up🤯🤣.
TG we don't have venomous snakes where I live!
Church Christmas school program was this morning. I lead K-3 choir. Everyone looked cute but this undoubtedly was the most off key rendition of “We Three Kings” EVER. Now I have to go to Girls and Boys club party.
wishing us a great xmas!!! :) :)
let’s make it the best xmas!! we all deserve it, after all this weird pandemic stuff/laws/etc.
i’ll be with my parents.
:) :)
i have lots of wonderful surprises for them. i hide roses every year, and then Santa appears (looks a bit like me) and gives them, with a note (handwriting a bit like mine). my parents are suspicious, but they still believe in Santa.
