My question for ASK BK DAY:

Are we to surmise from the notes that you perch on a stool as you work on the computer instead sitting on a chair?

New moon & solar eclipse:

Are you ready to make some important changes in your life? With today's amazing lunar energy working in your favor, there aren’t many goals you can’t accomplish when you make up your mind to just do it.
What's the key to success now? Set simple obtainable goals and work toward them with purpose. With Capricorn’s ambitious energy fueling the new moon and solar eclipse, you're poised to be a success. Letting go of self-imposed limitations and moving to new heights is what this special transit is all about.

Last night we watched the George C. Scott film of A Christmas Carol, directed by Clive Donner. I hadn't seen it in maybe ten years or more. I had forgotten how creepy it was - it is a ghost story - but I thought it was quite wonderful and very true to Mr Dickens' story.. Scott is excellent, but Annabelle's favorite Scrooge is Mr Magoo.

Annabelle has wonderful taste in Scrooges.

I watched the Thomas Birkeland version of the musical today. It still holds up after all these years.

I hope DR FJL's package arrives.

Speaking of which, they still haven't cleared me for the second part of my urology surgery (the first part was in June, but the sequel needs a cardiology clearance because even though my parents are 99 and 91, they have a substantial history of heart issues, which had seemed to make everyone nervous about taking responsibility. Every level wanted assurances from another level.

I was getting a vague feeling they were trying to delay and delay for some reason, and sure enough the new plan starts January 1, and I now have a cardiologist referral, which of course will not book me until January 2020. It's the same insurance company, but the two plans seem to be in different cost centers.

Had a lovely lunch today. Carol poached Cohoe salmon with lemon and dill. I made green beans sautéed with plenty of butter and Clementines along with apricot glazed carrots. I put together a cheese tray with what we had plus some almonds, dried cranberries and pita chips. Cooking and arranging things helped.

A friend of Carol’s joined us for lunch. Nice company, pleasant talk.

We’re off to see Bombshell.

The kitchen has a counter designed for the computer. It's high, like a kitchen counter, so I have a bar stool with a back that swivels. This new one is very comfy.

Darling Daughter and I had fun - she had spaghetti and tuna pasta salad, we opened presents, and then did our nostalgia drive, which was quite different than last year and really fun. Now I'll have some tuna pasta salad. She took the rest of the sauce and I saved just enough in case I want some tonight.

Yay.

Good luck with the tests & getting your clearance.

Can you request to be called if they have a cancellation?

It sounds very nice. I am pleased you are enjoying your Christmas & vacation. I know traveling can be stressful & difficult when things at home are of great concern.

Will she take the sauce home with her?

Good evening. Cold enough for everyone?

I got up at 2:30 a.m. to start preparing for today. I recleaned the floors, because babies always manage to find something, no matter how clean the floor is. We had a fun day. Everyone got him books, and he is still too little to really enjoy them.

It rained most of the day until late afternoon, when it cleared up enough for him to take a spin on his new toddler bike. Grandpa spent a couple of hours trying to figure out how to put that together last week.

We played One Little Finger, Old McDonald had a Farm, If You're Happy and You Know It, and other games, much to his amusement.

And we all ate too much. Well, except the baby, who dropped most of his food on the floor. Leonard hid all day.

Yes. Now that we are home it is warmer in Chicago & Silver Spring than it is here.

Nothing like a toddler enjoying Christmas

I do hope there will be a photo of him on his bike.

I have ordered a cover for my new tablet.

Jane · « **Reply #111 on:** December 25, 2019, 06:32:49 PM »

I had planned to look for a video tomorrow to help me set it up.

Jane · « **Reply #112 on:** December 25, 2019, 06:33:18 PM »

In the past I have had the store where I purchased the tablet do that for me.

Keith is doing it while I type. He told Bryan the gift is torture for him

When I plugged in the tablet to charge it I was thrilled the little connector plug snapped into the tablet. My current plug only rests in there & falls out easily. No wonder I have problems charging it.

Jane, I just got the referral for the cardiologist. It came earlier this week while I was away. But with my plan changing as of January 1, I have to make sure the cardiologist is covered in the plan I'm starting 1/1/2020, and actually, Skip says that I'd better check that the urologist who originally asked for the clearance is even accepted by this plan.

John G. · « **Reply #116 on:** December 25, 2019, 06:43:38 PM »

Sounds like a most excellent day, Laura.

We decided to see a fun movie for Christmas which for us was Jumanji: The Next Level.

Jane · « **Reply #119 on:** December 25, 2019, 06:50:13 PM »

Following the movie we took a walk around Fort Vancouver. Since we were hungry we only walked about 45 minutes.
