I love having the tree on all day when I am home too. Definitely does outweigh the grey outside.
18 hours sounds about right. I remember having a severe headache. After that it wasn't bad discomfort wise. But it looked pretty scary for a while. The eyelid lift was nothing compared to the facelift.

Greetings all
Another rainy day here but in our little burg it's not bad. Other towns have had heavy rain and Avenue of the Giants and other low areas are flooded. There are loads of rivers and creeks here and some routinely flood in the winter. Near Ferndale there was a helicopter rescue of an older woman from her car through its sun roof! She was apparently making food deliveries to older people and ventured onto a closed road. Her car floated! Grateful that we have dedicated coast guard to do this. They love to do water rescues.
I was going to go shop and look for food storage containers for the chicken liver pate I will make tomorrow but DH said we had a lot of them and he dug them up from the far corners of the pantry. Who knows what else lurks in there. Trip saved.
So I skipped scrabble today due to this cold. I don't feel too bad with a cold pill on board but have a serious cough and don't want to inflict this on my friends (even though that is likely where I caught it).
Jeez Paula you have more than your share of family drama. Hope it eases. Good on you for being the bigger person. Sometimes when a person is fussing unreasonably you can ask them what they want or need? Often it is just to vent. But hoping that the vent part is over. Drive safely. For your sake I kind of hope DSD stays with aunt. Unrelated note: the southwest Florida eagle camera I watch is in Fort Meyers. The nest is in a somewhat urban area so it is possible to take a nearby trail and see the nest. You cold go see it! One chick hatched but the other egg may not make it.
And yeah CC TSA pre is essential. I have loose skin and got patted down all the way up my inner thighs a few years ago when I did not have PRE. I think a lot of WLS surgery people have this issue. Anyway, you are probably mid air by the time of this post so almost there. I have no doubt Kirby is having a blast.
Peps agreed. The christmas tree should be lit all day. For some reason DH thinks it should only be lit after dark but cripes its cloudy and we need other lights.
Liz enjoy your slow day and some Christmas music. I had Pandora on at the gallery yesterday tuned to a Christmas station and an older couple came in and actually started slow dancing to the music! It was funny and cute. Hope you guys get just enough snow to look nice and then melts.
Well time to rummage through the closet looking for wrapping paper. Who knows what I will find?

201.7 up .5 which is a bit odd. I thought I'd be down a bit from yesterday considering my eating. But, perhaps the sodium was high?
My tree gets lit up the minute I get up! I love having the tree on all day. It helps on these cloudy days.
Liz, how nice for you to have a quiet day today! My day is turning out to be a quiet one, too. My DEXA Scan was cancelled, so all I have to do is take Molly to the vet for a blood draw. The rest of the day will be spent Christmas prepping.
Liz, surgery is January 7. I am a bit concerned about the discomfort. The surgeon warned me that the first 18 hours can be a bear! I'll have pain meds, but unless the pain meds are pretty heavy duty, they don't usually touch my pain. He prescribed Percocet (Tylenol with Oxycodone). I've never used that. Vicodin/Norco doesn't do much for me, so fingers crossed.
Another drizzly and rainy day here. Diane S., same for you?
Paula, clearly a lot is going on inside your step daughter. I think that losing a parent as a child/teen takes a huge emotional toll. My mom's father died when she was 14 and her mom died when she was 18. Her younger sister was 7 and 11 when she lost her parents. I know that loss affected all three sisters their entire lives.
Safe travels to all "on the road".
It sure is a pain when deliveries get mucked up like that! Always seems to happen when I travel unless I leave a lot of leeway (which I tried to do this year). But you can't control a gift sent by someone else!
Long travel day but your Dad and Stepmom will be thrilled to have you there for Christmas.

DH's pacemaker always clears but my replacement shoulder sets the detectors off about 60% of the time. Pre-check is the best! DH had it for years and insisted that I get it. So worth it! My DD got the same instruction from her DH (both DHs traveled a lot for business), and she loves it too.

So jealous about your Graeter's ice cream delivery! My absolute favorite ice cream is their toffee chip. We would often have it delivered for the Holidays!
Pre check sounds like it is the way to go. I'm always afraid that my defibrillator will make them pause at the scanner but I usually can walk right through it, wires going from my chest to heart and all!
