Karen: Good news on your dh's colonoscopy! I don't want another one bc I was to my stomach with the last one I had. You were lucky to get a dental appointment - good luck with your crown.
m0mmy: Tis the season to have a lot to do!
Dh has only taken one dose of extra strength Tylenol today. Didn't need any oxycodone. Yay! Going to take a long time to get his strength and stamina back but it will happen one day at a time.
I walked today. It was 48 degrees, beautiful sky. Felt fabulous!

Karen glad DH's colonoscopy turned out well. You will be glad when you get to a couple appointment-free months!
Wonderland, I'm glad DH is making progress. I don't believe in going around shooting people either. But we all know people who's treatment had to be delayed; sometimes with fatal results because insurance wouldn't pay. One's medical treatments should be between the patient and their doctor without someone sitting in an office (or an AI bot) saying what needs to be done and when. It is criminal to have 'health care' being a profit driven business. We're the only developed country where thousands of people go bankrupt trying to get the medical care they need. It makes me quite socialistic to dwell on it! 😮
WWW had so few people because there were two big funerals of long time citizens both happening yesterday morning. Many of our ladies were at one of the funerals (and several were working at the luncheons that followed). I went to HIT this morning & am on my way to Dance2fit now. I, myself, was at a funeral this afternoon. The Superintendent who hired me in 1975, and was my boss until he retired in 1993, died at the age of 91. He was a big advocate for both special and vocational education, so I very much appreciated his leadership. And always enjoyed visiting with him in later years about 'the good old days'. His daughter taught in the same special education as I, and his grandson was in my advisee group when he was in 7th grade. So many connections. It was a very big, and very personal funeral. They sang his favorite Christmas Carols & served Christmas cookies for the Coffee Hour afterwards.

Hope everyone is doing okay! I went to Zumba this morning & Dance2fit tonight. I did all my Christmas grocery shopping; except things that need to be fresh, which I will get Sunday or Monday.

The weather is warming up all week. The short days, the sun isn’t out long, but we still manage to walk. This morning I got a walk in as I didn’t need to leave as early. It was so nice, but cold
We leave in 9 days to go see our kids and granddaughter. Looking forward to seeing the little munchkin. it will be about 2 months since they were here. My granddaughter is 19 months today. She has such personality and it shines through in the photos my daughter sends us almost daily. We bought her a kitchen and a couple books for Chanukah. We will have to assemble the kitchen we when get there. DD#2 got her a FB yellow school bus with 2 little people and DS is getting her a coloring book for her age and fat crayons.
This is a busy last week before winter break! Several IEP meetings and reports to write for after the first of the year.
My brother has been sick for going on a month. He was in the hospital for 13 days, discharged and was back in the hospital 2 days later. He has a nasty lung infection that is antibiotic resistant. I talked to him the other day and he sounds good, but is tired and tired of being sick. He’s wasn’t sure how much longer he would be in the hospital. He lives in Ohio, so not close to stop by and say hello.
Not much else to report. Stay warm.

Hope your brother will start feel better soon, Karen. It's hard when your family lives far away, especially if they are sick and/or need some TLC. You will have so much fun with your granddaughter! I need one (a grandchild) so I can buy kitchens, coloring books etc.!!!
I went to a weight lifting class this morning & will go to Yoga tonight. We are predicated to have rounds of snow coming in later in the week. Boo! I have my annual physical Thursday morning & am not excited about the thought of driving all the way across town in a snow storm.

@karen1956 so sorry to hear about your brother. Wishing him well and thinking of you both ♥️

Karen: I am so sorry that your brother has been sick. That's a long time to stay in the hospital. Hope they find the right treatment for him.
Ruth: Ugh about your snow coming. You need to be able to get to your physical.
Ds came home for a day visit today. His partner and baby were not able to come. Will be seeing them in January. They are all going to her family for Christmas which is several states away so this was our Christmas visit. It was great to see him and getting caught up.
I had a bad situation with a neighbor last Thursday night. Only in my fantasy dreams have I actually cussed someone out like I did that night. It was bad but I'm proud that I stood up for myself. I've never talked (shouted at the top of my lungs) to anyone like that before. I'll have to let some time pass before I can describe what happened. I've been under stress with dh and his back and then this happened. I've had 2 afib episodes since Thursday so I've been taking it easy, deep breathing, etc. Today has been much better. I know seeing ds helped my soul.
Ds and I brought Dh to his doctor appointment today to have half of his surgical stitches removed. The incision is healing nicely. We go back on Monday to have the remaining ones removed. Improving a little bit each day!

Yikes, wonderland, I am so sorry about the situation with the neighbor. That is the last thing you need!! Look online for some guided relaxation or imagery CDs (they are probably on Utube too). I have a couple stress reduction CDs that I listen to very regularly (the mental part is also one of the reasons why I go to Yoga). Glad DH is doing better & you got to spent some time with DS.💓

Here's our Merry Dance2fit-mas Dance Party. (One of our ladies works at a Nursing Home & the presents in the front are for the residents.)

Fabulous pictures, Ruth! How nice that everyone brought presents for nursing home residents. Everyone looks so festive in both pictures.
Trying to keep things easy and calm. I've had 3 afib episodes since my screaming encounter with my neighbor last Thursday. The longest lasted 15 hour.
I forgot to mention that on Monday I had to have a tooth implant removed (it was put in sometime this summer). The crown was added in July and all was good until a month later when it started moving and hurting. It was determined that the implant was causing the problem. So on Monday I had it removed and a shorter and wider one put it. I think the pain from the procedure also set me up for afib.
I met a friend for lunch yesterday. Treated myself to a manicure today which is something I rarely do. Been taking it easy and today has been a good day. Also I have laughed a lot this evening bc my dd visited and told us some very funny stories. Laughter is the best medicine!

Wonderland, you should treat yourself to things every day & be with people who make you laugh too!! Sending a hug before I go off to my Pilates/Stretch class.

I'm officially on winter break :) Definitely need the R and R. I've been exhausted. The last week before winter break is always a hard one - I had lots of IEP meetings, reports to write as well as see my kiddos. I'm off till January 6th. Then it's a long stretch till spring break the end of March with only MLK and President's day off.
My brother is in the hospital for 5 more days. Still on IV antibiotics. He said he is having lots of GI side effects. I'm sure such heavy doses of antibiotics are wrecking havoc with his gut. It's always a long road for him when he gets an infection - generally lung infection.
5 days till I see my favorite munchkin. Cold, damp, rainy/wet miserable weather will great us!! A big difference from the mild weather here. Today is 64f!! The 10 day forecast is low 60s to high 40s and now snow, though the mountains might get snow. When we get back from seeing the munchkin, we are heading to the mountains for a few days of hiking.
Monday I go for my last follow up on the cataract surgery and get a new Rx. I can't wait as my current glasses are not right. I don't wear them driving or walking at night and not even sure if they are the right strength for reading. I'll have to wait till I get home to get the new glasses. I order online so I should start looking at frames.
Wonder, sorry to hear about your A-fib episodes.
I know I've missed a lot, but just skimmed the posts.
Have a great week-end.

Thanks for the hug, Ruth. ❤️
Karen: I am sorry about your brother. I hope the doctors have found the correct antibiotic for his infection. Sending healing vibes from NC to your brother.
Today has been a good day. My 2 sisters (twins) came to visit. They had gotten together earlier this week with my brother and sil to bake Christmas cookies. They brought my share of the cookies plus lunch! Just what the doctor ordered.
Dd makes lightweight clay earrings. She used glitter in these and I love how they sparkle.

Karen, does your brother have family who live nearby who are helping him navigate his treatments? (I hope so!). It is so wearing to be ill for so long. It was the last day of school here too & I am sure there were many teachers sharing your exhaustion! Glad you can get the new glasses ordered. Excited to hear reports about what clever things your granddaughter is up to!
Wonderland, I LOVE those earring! If DD would make me a pair, I would be glad to pay her for them (plus postage, of course). Does she do other colors too?

Hi Friends
I have been away for a month, just catching up. I had a business trip the week before Thanksgiving, then Thanksgiving and another business trip the week after - Dec 4-9 in NYC.
Arrived in NYC with a hotel on 6th Avenue the day of the NYC shooting that took place at another hotel 2 blocks away on , that was something…6th Ave (Ave of the Americas)
Returned home from that trip with a cold! it was 12 degrees in NYC that week and my southern VA body just couldn't take it. One night in the hotel I had the shakes I was so cold. Basically put me under the grey cloud for almost 10 days.
I do have a nice picture if myself and DH with the Rockefeller Christmas Tree a block away, I had a meeting at Christies Auction House on 49th and it was too crowded to get closer.
Today is the last day of school ahead of the holidays.
I got back to the gym this week, Sunday/Wednesay/Thursday/Friday…I'll call that a win.
I'll post some pictures soon…
Take care everyone, TT
