Thanks for the start Lennon!
Back to the daily routine - short weeks are sometimes really rough. Let's see how this week goes. My DD will head home tomorrow so today she will visit her grandparents again and spend some time with her sister. Her grandfather was hinting strongly that she should fly home for easter. I said if Grandpa wants you home so badly he can pay for your ticket!
I never did get my tree put up. The only decoration was a wreath on my front door. Perhaps I can make easter my new goal!
In my neighborhood there are a few streets that puts out luminaries to line the streets in the neighborhood. A local business pushed to expand this and he provided over 3000 luminaries to line the streets in the specific neighborhood. I was part of the crew who volunteered to light them. I went out to do it and a young couple were out there lighting them. So when I went back out later, I lit the ones that had gone out. It was absolutely beautiful. There was a buzz in town about this and so many cars driving through the neighborhood to look at the lights. On Christmas morning I went out with a garbage bag and managed to pick up about half the luminaries on my street. Someone else grabbed the rest. Of course I was thinking I had to save the sand to reuse or the half burned or unburned candles. Somehow I stayed focused and got the bag in the trash can.
OK - plans for this week - get stuff out of my car. It is a mini storage unit! Start eating better - these cookie snacks have to stop. I did good christmas eve (two parties) and christmas day. I only had two cookies christmas eve and a small serving of ambrosia christmas day. that's goals enough for me.

Good morning everyone!
I had a library book due but nothing to pick up so I was able to go there early and drop it in the outside slot, without having to wait for them to open. It's still really cold outside--8 degrees and feels like 4 below--but today it's supposed to make it to 26 and then tomorrow the warm, rainy week starts.
Now that Christmas and the anniversary of my sister's death are both over, I need to regroup and figure out my next priorities. So much to do, so little energy to do it!
Diane

Morning Everyone! Happy Tuesday! Thanks for getting the week started Lennon!
Diane - Sending you good energy!
My first up for the week at hand is heading over the to Drs. Yay (/s). I feel old now it seems that every part of me has its own Dr and next I need to find out who is a wrist Dr. I hurt my wrist a while back and it just continues to bother. I saw this joke where - Getting injured while young - lists off tons of dangerous stuff. Getting injured while old - sits too long, coughs, and in my case picks up Iphone from a bad angle while trying to shut off wake up alarm.
I am managing with wrist to snap it back i have to hold in place with thumb and two fingers and do Queen’s wave and then regular wave - My chiropractor is a genius - so it doesnt hurt and I am having to do this less and less as time goes on but bleep it should be healed by now. So I need to see what is going on. Today’s Dr appt is for foot which i need to get seen about for potential broken toe.
Oh for the days when I fell down a very very tall cliff face rock climbing (PSA - free climbing may seem fun but it also can be deadly). We used gear most of the day but decided to do a bit of free climbing at the end and my hand hold crumbled. I fell for quite a while before I hit a ledge, then another ledge, and then ended up rolling down the side of mountain all the way into the valley laying face down with dirt in mouth. I could hear friends screaming omg (TML’s real name) is dead. Then I sat up spit out dirt and was fine except for a bruise on hip where it took the second ledge hit. The first ledge was across shoulder blades on back - I had enough muscle from rowing those days that it didnt do much - head or neck and I would have been ☠️. My Dr when she saw bruise on hip (size of skillet) later was - you are an idiot and should be dead. TML is on 11 Plus life and yet I am having wrist issues from picking up Iphone wrong.

Thank you TT and TML, I am feeling hopeful about getting back on track today, the first thing I want to do is clean off my desk and keyboard, it's always a good sign when I want to clean my command center!
TML, you certainly have used up some of your 9 lives, you have led a very active life! You need an orthopedist on call for you 24-7! And yes, I have hurt myself while coughing...
TO DO:
Clean/dust computer desk Clean keyboard Restock water in fridge Delete 10 hard emails

Good morning everyone!
I used up every ounce of energy Christmas eve which is our big celebration and then slept for 2 days!
The chemo induced neuropathy is the bane of my existence. I stood more than 15 minutes 1 time on Christmas eve and literally lost all feeling on the right foot from the ankle down for 2 days.
to do smoothie am meds water (I didn't drink enough the last few days) Ants came in overnight and found the cat food bowl. Not good but better than the whole 17 lb. bag. I have my Dia....something earth and will do that. Whenever our temps drop so severely this happens with the little sugar ants. What a pain though. pm meds

Good morning PS, that neuropathy sounds awful. Are you able to walk on the foot when it has no feeling? I imagine you can but it would be easy to fall?
Next:
Take dog out and feed her Open box, put stuff away Fill up both bird seed bins 10 minutes PEEPing on 1st floor

Well, then you have lots more stories to tell. Besides your rock climbing fall and your serious car crash!
I ordered a small pry bar, one tool I did not have but should, so I could try to take apart one of the cabinets in the basement. But being me, I managed to stab my finger with the scissors I was using to take off the shrink-wrapped plastic from it--TML has dramatic accidents, I'm more the "death of a thousand (minor) cuts" kind of person since I rarely leave my house...
Next:
Wash some dishes Listen to phone messages, erase, clear caller record Update all lists Delete 30 emails

I got a call from my senior client during that last list, I haven't talked to her for a while so I answered and we chatted. She is still confused about her library books, although it seems like she found and returned the one she called me about 3 different times.
I'm going to stop for lunch and a movie break.
