Good morning, EarlyChicks! I actually slept until 7:20 this morning - without a three hour awake time in the middle! I took two Nytol and I think that's what did it.
Peachie, I can so relate to your disastrous shopping trip! One December 24, I got a very early start and shopped for a huge Christmas order. When I went to pay for it, I realized my purse was in the car and the car was locked! Thank God for the CAA and a lad with a Slim-Jim!
Sherrie, your Thanksgiving sounds great - no cooking. I like cooking turkey because of the aroma but sure like to go elsewhere for a fussy meal. I hope Tommie shakes off the current bug quickly.
Debkay, didja get the baking done yet? Maybe your friend can taste test it?
SamsGram, sounds like a double whammy holiday for you! Thanksgiving AND Chanukah back to back. I hope you can get the camera - holidays are precious times and need preservation.
Pooky, congrats on the job. Sheesh, you'll get to wear a uniform and everything. Do you get a gun?
Don't spread yourself too thin with school AND a job and family stuff. I've been there and it just ain't worth it!
Well today is the day before my wrist operation and I'm getting a bit antsy. They have not called from the hospital yet - they usually call 48 hours before. Part of me hopes the date change screwed them up and another part of me would be glad if it is re-scheduled again! (I'm such a baby! ) I'll be adult and call my surgeon's office when they open at 9. You can tell I'm not looking forward to two sore wrists!
Baked beans at a Bake Sale? someone asked yesterday. Sure thing! They sell really well. I put in a 5 pound batch last night before bed and they cooked overnight. The house smelled great this morning but I resisted a bean breakfast. This morning I bake those infamous pineapple cakes and will freeze them after they are iced. Somehow I don't think I'll be into baking for a few days after the op so everything is to be frozen. I've already made cranberry jelly and orange marmalade so we are all set for Saturday morning. Today I dig out and press the Country Christmas costumes.
Another longish walk for Lucy yesterday and she was a bit less nutsy at suppertime! She actually sat beside me and listened to music while we had out pre-dinner Scotch! Maybe we are over the hump.
Time for a tubby and a leg-shave. It beats me why you have to get all undressed when they are just operating on your frigging wrist!
Have a happy day. Hugs to all and a bigger one to MEW.
