….and thanks for reading. Don't forget, tomorrow, not today, is World AIDS day.
The tree in focus…at last.
I certainly haven’t said much these last 30 days. Usually I say more, and I apologize. You too have been busy I see. Busy is good.
Life has been quiet these last Shingly weeks. Holiday decisions have been made. Bee and Mikey are stopping by one day. Another, we have hopes to have an open house. Quiet things. I posted this photo of the tree on Facebook as an e-card for our friends there. A most exquisite, real card arrived yesterday from PQ. Other’s will probably come and wake up my guilt feelings anew. You would think now that I’m in my seventies, I could let guilt go.
A few family members will get real holiday cards from us….bought at the Cancer Society Discovery Shop. Most will get an email telling them how much they are appreciated and loved. And they are. There are two non-family presents, estate sale finds. There’s a little something for G from me under the tree, and a something from G for me. Our biggest present to ourselves was that glorious trip to Washington DC.
We will be home for the holidays…this second year in a row, and keep life as simple as we can. Have you made your plans yet?
- Keeping those on the east coast in my thoughts.
- Himself: Says he is feeling much better today. Added vitamins and did a half hour at the gym. Said he’s going to the one hour meeting tonight.
- Herself: I’m playing life by ear. Worked again yesterday to clean the back room book shelves and barely dented them. I ache all over and fell asleep after dinner. Could it have been the slice of cake I ate at work? No swimming before work this morning. Today I am the back room sorter, and all the sorting racks are full too. We don’t have enough volunteers to get things out on the floor.
- Reading: Brought home four new books.
- Balance: Slept eight and a half hours.
