Merry Christmas! I wanted to just record a quick update. I've been working so much lately, but I have some time off now to celebrate. My five kiddos will all be home. Two of my girls have their boyfriends coming for a few days. My nephew who lived with us for a while, is arriving from Alberta, Canada today! We have been waiting for him to come back to be with us for Christmas for years now! We will have a packed and busy house!

My weight has drifted up during the last week. Upcoming,I have a week of unusual activity to keep me busy, but much of it revolves around cooking, baking, and eating. I am going to be careful but not stressed out about every bite. I know I already have some recovery to do, so I do need to be careful. Mostly, I want to be able to relax. I am so tried and so tired of being stressed.

Four of us got our boosters this week. I had almost no reaction. Most importantly, my daughter, who is very vulnerable, made it through with only one horrible night rather than the feared three days of misery and barely being able to leave her bed. That was her experience with the first two shots. I am so thankful!

Happy Holidays to you all, my friends! Let us focus on our blessings and make the best choices we can in the days to come! Blessings!

Thank you so much, carol lynn1! Nikina, thank you!! Nephew arrived safe and sound, although he said the flight was the worst turbulence experience of his life. We've got some major weather on the way, so I'm glad he made it! Kitty just ambled into the picture and sat down just as I was about to take the photo. 😁 Not staged! Eva! Merry Christmas Eva! Someday I Will catch up and be online more than just a moment at a time!

Very late Merry Christmas to you too, Katsolo! I love this cozy room, Diana. We have a 4x4 ft sky light, which makes it so light even on dreay winter days. Chris, we must catch up! I hope you are doing ok and managing to stay on the roads on these horribly slippery days. Videos of buses sliding around on Seattle streets are the stuff of nightmares! Stay safe out there as you drive those monsters. Merry Christmas, Mermee! Sherry, I have so enjoyed being with my people! The day after Christmas we got a dump of snow that has made things even cozier and closer!

Diablo and Princess, I hope you guys are doing well. I am going to catch up with you soon. I have an email written, but I keep adding bits rather than just sending the thing! I will be back and working to get back to normal really soon! Thank you Erq, and thank you for all of your prayers and care. Love2! How much snow did you get? We are rather buried! I finally dug out a car, but it will be a while before I am brave enough to drive. My nephew had rented a all wheel drive pick up, and he is a very skilled driver in snow, but we have the very uncomfortable extra challenge of horrid ice and nasty hills. But, we have been thankful for rides here and there! Thank you, Dear Becky, and Merry Christmas to you too!!!! We need to chat sometime soon! Thank you, Buenitabishop! John, I hope you have had a beautiful time with your family this Christmas! Dear Bear, I bet you got some of this snow too. Stay safe and warm! Merry Christmas, Petra! It has been so nice to have time together. I have to go back to work tomorrow, and I am dreading it. Oh well, it has been a lovely break! Blessings on all of you, my friends! I will catch up soon!
