USA. Day 27. CD

I am continuing on my path of CDs until I finish off my leftovers. I am very proud of myself for controlling my eating and now I feel much better, since my Christmas feast, which left me feeling overwhelming stuffed! My only problem is that I had to go old school to reheat everything. I always use my microwave for that. It’s quick and easy. However, I burnt it out while using it to reheat items on Christmas day. It’s a Samsung and I really love it. If there is a reset button, I don’t know where that would be, so I have a repairman coming on Sunday. It cost $89 just to have him show up, even if he can’t fix it. Fortunately, there are a lot of great post Christmas sales right now, so if the repair cost more than the value of my microwave, I will simply buy another new one. Problem solved! 🙂

Funshipfreddie, I am glad your kitty is fine. I have three of mine own in my life and I loved them dearly. They are great at home companions.

NorthGeorgia, I am sorry about your mother. I can sympathize with you. Ever since Covid, everyone has gotten a bit conscious about making others sick at gatherings. It’s especially hard when it is family. I had all my vaccines but I got Covid at my brother’s funeral. Four family members did. I got the RSV shot because I didn’t want to take any chances. Even though I am 74 yo, my doctor didn’t recommend it for me. I don’t know why but I went out and got it anyway. He doesn’t remember that he told me not to bother and now he is glad I did it. I let him believe he recommended it! LOL.

Stitchincarol, I am right there with you about all the guests for Christmas. You are happy living quietly and then suddenly all the hub bub!. Nevertheless, it happens so rarely that I am so happy to see everyone, even if it is such a short time. Too bad Christmas and Thanksgiving are so close. That’s a lot of cooking! 😄 I am very much looking for that club dinner! It means I don’t cook and I get to fraternize with my family! 👍🏻

Jaifaim, sounds like you are enjoying the holidays!

Just checking in!

Day 28 – South Africa 🇿🇦 – CD

I got home at about 5:45 pm last night. It felt weird waking up without my moggie demanding breakfast. I’ll pick her up after brunch & picking up some groceries. The interior of my fridge looks pathetic – 6 eggs, cheese, milk & a bottle of diet coke 🙄

@stitchincarol – the road was pleasantly quiet driving back from Gonubie. I do get a backache sometimes during a long drive, but tweaking the position of the seat usually resolves it. Sounds like you’ve been working your tail off?! No volunteers to even help with the washing up? But I can’t throw stones. I only spent 3 days at my friends’ place, but I was totally spoiled & I didn’t wash so much as a teaspoon. I did offer though 😇

@northgeorgia – wishing you & your mom a speedy recovery 🤧

My friend’s stained glass nativity scene is stunning. She’s had it for a couple of decades, I think:-

Have a good weekend everyone ⛅️🌈
