Good mornin all!
I have my second to last PT today. I am so sorry glad it's almost over. Yesterday's appointment went ok. They upped my lyrica again. I've been having a lot of nerve pain in my legs and feet. If this doesn't do the trick it'll be a round of imaging. I'm about to become more zombified. Yay. Hopefully it'll work though! I'm over the burning sensations.
I was hoping someone on FB would want to buy something I make but alas no bites. Thankfully I am sending some made pieces out to my boss that should take care of Christmas stuff. I'm just giving money to my brother and SIL. The kids are all done, just waiting for things to arrive. My mom's is done. I got my best friend from high school a little something as I am missing her a lot. Will eventually send her a dice bag in the new year as she sent me a bit of money to help with a bill. I didn't spend just a whole lot this year but I don't usually have the dental bill. Or the internet. At least I didn't used to.
QOTD: I am with you, Krampus is my hero! Lol I would also like to do the Isle of Man.
B: eggs, cheese and coffee
L: turkey soup with barley
D: likely soup
Good morning, everyone!
A little change of pace this week, I'm going into the office today and will work from home on Friday. We have a seminar this morning, so it seemed like a good trade-off.
We have our Christmas tree up and decorated and we are just waiting for our wreaths. The shop near us makes them cross style, but it's a special order. Marilyn can pick them up when the shop calls but probably needs help getting the tall one up.
I picked up Marilyn's present online while riding the train yesterday. Ordinarily, I wouldn't do that but it was a really great sale. I still need to get her a few small things, so that she has gifts to open, and fill her stocking. I ordered some gift cards for the CrossFit trainers, but still need to get one for my admin.
QOTD: The Seychelles.
Breakfast: Bagel
Lunch: sandwich
Dinner: Ham
Have a great day, all!

I would go to Ireland because I have a ton of family there and would love to spend the holidays with them. One of my friend's husbands was stationed in Germany and they spent Christmas one year in the Black Forest. She really enjoyed Chritmas there.
Real life begins where your comfort zone ends
Good morning everyone. Not much going on today. I'm finishing up sending out Christmas cards and I have to get some pictures made for ornaments I'm making of the grandkids. Hoping work is slow today and tomorrow.
QOTD: If you could travel to another country for the holiday season where would you choose? I want to visit either Austria or Germany. And it would actually be for Krampustag/Krampusnacht which happens at the beginning of December. For those of you who don't know Krampus is a horned figure who goes around collecting naughty children, putting them in his sack and then hits them with reeds. Yea I know I like the oddities of the world.
B: coffee and protein shake
L: ham and swiss wrap
D: more corned beef and soup
Have a wonderful day!!!!

My late Merlin was a hunter to the core. If you dare tried to get the prey away he would let out these horrid sounds. He would eat most of it but always left parts. It was so gross.
Hope the vertigo lets up, that's just so awful to deal with!

When I was little we had a beautiful kitty named Gizmo. I wish I had a picture as he was the prettiest kitty I've ever seen in person! So glad you and Gizmo saved each other! He is lucky to have found you!
QOTD- I love both but only have cats now. Dogs are too much maintenance and I'm not sure I could do them justice. I don't have a totally fenced backyard so I couldn't turn them out. I love my cats I can't imagine my life without them.
I tried a bell collar on my "bird killer" cat, 3 dead in 2 days. He absolutely hated it. He got his paw stuck trying to take it off, and when I put it back on he hid under the couch and then under the bed. Even after I took it off he still spent most of the day under the bed. I feel so bad that I traumatized him, I was just trying to prevent more bird deaths. Of course he brought them in the house and there are feathers everywhere. When I tried to take the last one away from him he growled at me multiple times. He's never done that before.
The Ducks ended the regular season at 13-0, so much for them not being able to hang with the big boys. Both of the former PAC-12 teams came out well AZ State is the Big 12 champion and Oregon is the Big 10 champion. The Ducks have a first round bye and play either Ohio State or Tennessee in the Rose Bowl. But Jan 1 is a long wait, and I'm not sure I can get ESPN without cable, and ESPN+ doesn't show the ESPN games. Maybe I can see it on Hulu.
I've been dealing with vertigo since last week. I didn't work Thursday or Friday and tried not to move my head very much. On the plus side I hardly ate anything all weekend. I know what it is BPPV, and usually it goes away in a few days or I learn not to turn my head or bend down. Just not fun.
I'm not sure how the Seahawks won on Sunday but a win is a win. Not that I expect them to do anything in the playoffs.
I need to get back to work. Have a great day everyone!
