HI, LIES - SURGERY WENT WELL. I AM THRILLED BEYOND BELIEF WITH MY NEW ABILITIES - I WOKE UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AND COULD ACTUALLY SEE THE CLOCK WITHOUT LOOKING FOR MY GLASSES.

And while he was here, that sweet DS installed DSL for me (courtesy of both kidlets) and actually thought I'd let them pay the monthly charge! Also did other mysterious things to computer which is now much more of a delight!

And dear bro took me to surgoen this a.m. for checkup. Doctor says I've exceeded his expectations re improved vision. Wow! Had good news re Monday's sonogram of neck and, a little plus, the tech checked my carotid arteries and called them PHENOMENAL. Now just how DARE I ever get down and grumpy with all that ringing in my ears?????????????????

wsw - so glad that stress is behind you but it has apparently taken its toll. Hope things go smoothly so you can get back on your track and feel better.

Thanks, Arabella, but it must have been their Dad.

And keep your dream - you have your leetle feets in the door and one never knows what ways fate will take those leetle feets. Wonderful that you found the right color. DS didn't even notice my change of color until they took the cap off it in recovery. He had seen it the night before and earlier that morning. Still, better than last time I colored my hair when neither kid noticed at all

Anyway, must take it calmer next few days but I'm on a high so will manage a few of the things I never get around to (hopefully).

Trick or Treat here tonight and I'm abstaining except for the dear little fellows next door and their baby sister. Wasn't sure how I'd feel surgerywise and while I'm ok, I still think this is a year to skip.

Cool and brisk again but not so windy and better weather coming in for next day or so. Won't walk today, but maybe tomorrow.

204.8 this morning, getting lower centimeter by centimeter. Tomorrow I'll post the festive challenge thread.

Busy Friday as us. here. I've got to nip out soon and pick up groceries and wine but first I'd better make a list if I don't want to forget a bunch of stuff. We've got friends coming to dinner tomorrow night and I'm not sure what I'm making. Thinking pizza, though... She's bringing a pear crisp. So... lesseee... apps. Hmmm... I'd like to do something different. Guess I'll think while I'm starting the shopping.

WSW, I'm glad you're feeling better!

Anagram, I'm thrilled at your news! How wonderful! I actually had caused a similar improvement in my own eyesight through Reiki but then slacked off on self-treatment and, sure enough, improvement went away again.


K, Dollings, I'd better fly Have a lovely and spooky evening!

What a thrilling number, Arabella!!!!! At 207 this a.m. but happy enough as menu has not been primo for me the last two days. In fact, I'm delighted with the 207.

Lovely day here today and I just came back from second "errand" trip of the day. Tested out driving earlier with shorter trip, then did longer. So far so good.

But for now, I think I'm going to try for a little siesta...............Did go through a few more things for clothing drive. Lots in trunk and all ready for next weekend. Maybe will look through a few more things between now and then (but maybe not too ).

Enjoy your festive evening, Arabella. Sounds fun. Pear crisp sounds good too. Did I mention last week that I tried some applesauce bran muffins and wasn't thrilled with how they turned out. Threw them in freezer and ate some with DS here. Amazing how much their taste had improved somehow. May try them again and then just freeze them before eating any. Don't understand but, hey!

Siesta time.............................................. ..

Lovely weekend, Royalles!!

I am away again...but by myself. No munch monkey this week-end...next though.

Other friends and I ate at a local diner...good food...I had turkey... real turkey, with baked potato, corn and greek salad. Very yummy and very filling! Fortunately I was too full to eat another morsel when I spotted the coconut creme pie....my fav...along with many others

So I am catching up with internet stuff in my hotel room listening to "House" on the TV. Dog is conked out on the bed....very homey. Except for the dog part...she doesn't sleep on the bed at home!

November! Wow.

Time flies. Arabella..WTG on that low number....you rock!

WSW glad to hear that that pan finally went in...and your water issues are hopefully a thing of the past.

Anagram...what a delight that would be...not seeing a fuzzy world and fumbling for glasses. I've not been brave enough to check into the procedure.

Anyhow....thinking of the 's Have a great day all!

Indeed, 'tis November And now let's turn our thoughts toward the festive season ahead and think of how to maximize our joy.
