Last night I was alone because my daughter and her husband went to his family's for Christmas eve dinner. I sang and played Christmas carols on the violin...drank a cup of hot protein shake and came on here and read back a few pages....I just wanted to say, Thank you for keeping me company until my family could arrive today.
My family has changed so much over the years. We are all reaching middle age and have become a bit more compassionate people (well, almost all...my brother in law is still a jerk at times!
).
They know how much I have tried to stay on track...there were very healthy food options at our Christmas Lunch and though we're a poor bunch, they gave me gifts that were related to my having surgery soon.
Besides the socks and other unmentionables from my daughter...needed believe me! LOL
-a new pair of shoes for walking
-a tiny little crock pot to make tiny little dinners (from my daughter...it came with her big one)
-a small plate, a smaller plate and a small bowl for those tiny little dinners.
-a hand blender to make my food soft... It so much better then the bloody old blender and easier to clean so far!
And...
-a foot soaking massager to help relax and care for myself without food.
Got to love them!
Merry Christmas and a belated Happy Hanukah and I think I can speak for everyone, Joyous Solstice...now the days just get longer!
