Guest guest Posted December 10, 2002 Report Share Posted December 10, 2002 ~~~~~~~~Oh Happy day! I finished my last final! ~~~~~~~~~~~~ I’ve also done all my Christmas cards, bought and wrapped all but one or two Christmas gifts, and I’ve got my tree decorated. Whew! Now I can relax and enjoy the holidays. So far my pain is manageable, which is all I ask. I’m doing a few days of a detox diet in hopes that I’ll feel a little better during the holiday season. So far I’ve just got a headache, which makes me think I might be better off waiting until January. We’ll see. I’m not going to feel worse so that I can feel better. I still want to do a little baking, and I have 4 church related activities to do this week. Next Monday is my anniversary, then Tuesday I head out for the holidays. How is everyone else doing with your holiday activities? I think writing things down really helped me to keep a handle on what I’ve done and what needs to be done. Thanks again for the great ideas. Well, I’m going to go and relax. Stan’s out of town, and it’s a good night to just veg out in front of the TV. Love to all, Carol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 10, 2002 Report Share Posted December 10, 2002 Congratulations Carol, I go to school, well at least I was. I had to drop this semester due to the surgery. I know what a great feeling it is to be finished finals. I am anxious to get back in January. My daughter Laurie is currently in her room studying for her last final. She is a senior in college hoping to go on to grad school. Lynn (MeMom) Carol wrote: > ~~~~~~~~Oh Happy day!

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2002 Report Share Posted December 11, 2002 <PRE>hey carol, i have most of my shopping done, but being broke helped with that!!!i wrapped 10 presents yesterday morning and bout noon my middle nuckle on my left hand was red swollen and sore. i have my christmas cards out and maybe i'll do them today. most of my presents are baking and will probably tackle that late next week. my home is not decorated except for the christmas cards on the wall. but we are so cramped as it is plus with the 4 mo old kitten and my son gone most of the time it would be me dealing with missy mischief!!!! i have to go and pick up my mtx and syringes today and i've already been to the lab this morning for my labwork. kathy in il Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 11, 2002 Report Share Posted December 11, 2002 Hi Kathy, It sounds like you're really getting things done, too! Are you left handed? If so, be careful with that knuckle when you do Christmas cards. The day after writing out all my Christmas cards (even though I used address labels for both addresses on many of them) I could barely move my hands. It only lasted a day, but I didn't realize how much writing I had done. I'm actually baking my pumpkin bread as I type this. I really enjoy baking, but I left it for last because it's not a priority. I'm sure glad, though, that I have the strength and ability to do it. I want to do as many loaves as I can, because I can use them as extra gifts. I usually do pumpkin bread before thanksgiving, as a fall gift, but I wasn't up to it this year. I also want to do cookies, but I'm not giving them out as gifts this year. They're too much work. I'll save the cookies for family. Kathy, I'm glad you're getting into the Christmas spirit. I know it's a tough time of the year, but I'm glad you're enjoying it. We're here for you, too. Lots of love, Carol Re: [ ] Done with classes <PRE>hey carol, i have most of my shopping done, but being broke helped with that!!!i wrapped 10 presents yesterday morning and bout noon my middle nuckle on my left hand was red swollen and sore. i have my christmas cards out and maybe i'll do them today. most of my presents are baking and will probably tackle that late next week. my home is not decorated except for the christmas cards on the wall. but we are so cramped as it is plus with the 4 mo old kitten and my son gone most of the time it would be me dealing with missy mischief!!!! i have to go and pick up my mtx and syringes today and i've already been to the lab this morning for my labwork. kathy in il Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
