From what I understand, not a lot.  They told her it would be a one to three month recovery period.

I have tried to decorate and bake and wrap myself into a Christmas mood and it's worked to an extent.  The biggest thing weighing on my mind is my mother's condition.  There's not much I can do about it, but there it is.

You might not want any of tonight's batch.  I accidentally put in twice as much lemon extract as called for.  Richard and I taste-tested and they seemed OK, but may "ripen" with age...

Tomorrow is my last day to get stuff done because we have to go to Lima on Thursday for a 2pm service.  At least it won't be late when we get home on Christmas Eve.

'night!

I heard from my adopted son Joshie before he headed off to New England and his family. We begin work on Encores! on Monday morning, Dec. 28. Big relief!

Great News!

Thank you, sir. You are indeed a gentleman. So giving.

The day after the new fridge was installed, I received a call that part of my disability is stopping, so beginning next month I will get about $600 less. It will be close to just get by.

Why such a large  drop in your benefits?

Part was through the State, and they've tightened their belt since the new guy was elected. Our governor is the ice cream guy, Cold Stone, but I'm not so sure about him.

The company that oversees that, Sedgwick, has been looking for anything to lower or drop me since almost the day before I was discharged during the heaviest part of my treatments. People have warned me about Sedgwick, plus the woman assigned to me is named Diane. In my entire life, the name Diane has been a bad omen, or something. I have never known a Diane that I befriended or who liked me, or had good news. I've had friends who've had other similar experiences, but with different names.


I will refuse comment since my sister is named Diane.  :-)

And so is mine. ::)

;D


And so is mine :)

I actually cleaned part of the front room tonight. It's rather scary. Put up the Christmas cards and cleared away some cookbooks and stray bottles in the bar area. Next year, I have to organize some of that stuff.

Next year ...
