Tis the Season

A week on the medicated shakes and I notice a boost in my energy level, improvement in the quality of my sleep, and a smoothing in the texture of my skin.

I am not hungry like I feared I might be, so I am happy about that.

Thanksgiving with my family was nice, slow and pleasant.  My daughter cooked a feast without stress and her bird was succulent.  I am amazed at the poise she exudes in the kitchen.  Her boyfriend Michael was relaxed and fun and a wonderful time was had by all.

I was so pleased. 

Last night I attended a concert of The Tenors.  Tonight I am going on a cruise on Lake Washington to view the lighted ships for Christmas, and Friday I am going to a tree lighting winter fest. 

I actually have 2 dates Friday.

I am back in Seattle for a week and then will fly to Kansas again, this time for Matthew’s college graduation. 

He’s focused on getting finished, getting a job, and getting out of Kansas.  I expect he will want to come here over Christmas.  My sister and her boyfriend are coming and with Matt it will make a full house.

Me with no decorations, no china.  I will not go buy any new, either.  We’ll hang some lights on my mahogany tree and eat on my everyday dishes. 

HoHoHo.
