How are you feeling?
 

Feeling really good. My brother came and stayed the weekend and we had a delicious fish supper, watch some tv I had saved for him and chatted a lot as we always do about family. He is so easy going it is a pleasure to spend time with him. I would't trade him in even if I could LOL.

Starting to feel a little Christmas-y. The tree is up and decorated. I made the arrangements for my family's Christmas dinner at a restaurant. I started my Christmas card list. I did a little shopping. Nothing too strenuous or involved (okay, I never took the Christmas tree down after last year, so the only difference is now we turn the lights on).

Time for Hallmark Christmas movies and my standard yearly faves:
- The Nightmare Before Christmas - singalong!
- It's a Wonderful Life - B&W, I go old school
- Auntie Mame - the Rosalind Russell one, not the one with Lucille Ball

Time to listen to the holiday playlists and drink hot chocolate. Time to wish for snow (I don't think Brittany has ever seen snow - I wonder if she would like it?). Time to get out my sweaters and party dresses. Time to share joy and love and kindness and good feelings.

Yeah, I'm feeling it.

How are you Feeling?
 

Take care of you and get well soon Besame.

I had my gallbladder out a few years ago, and it was just as you described. It's good to go ahead and get it out because, as I'm sure they told you, unless it is out you just keep having those attacks over and over. Feel better soon!

(One thing that really helped me during recovery was an ice pack. If you have some soreness or aching, grab a pack of frozen peas.)

Bèsame*, I hope you turn the corner to feeling much better soon.

I'm feeling... exhausted. Am I alone in this? Between the politics and the weather and lack of sun... I want to like crawl into a cave for a week or a month or more.

I'm feeling rejuvenated after a much needed afternoon with good friends. We met up in Woodstock. I spent my lunch money on art and essential oils before we even got to the restaurant we were going to. It was a treat myself kind of day. I had an amazing tempeh reuben sandwich. We've all been going through it so we toasted with various mimosas, bloody mary's and a little whiskey for me. We took up space for three hours talking about everything and tipped very well for the time. Then we wandered town and stopped at many small businesses. I picked up a sage and lavender smudge stick and will go smudge the house I'm buying shortly.

Nervous. Today I’m having my eye surgery.

Really satisfied. I just finished today's Christmas gift shopping, and I'm almost done altogether. I still need to make a trip to the liquor store, but after that I'll be done.

I was afraid I would not be happy with this year's gift giving, because my family decided to do a white elephant gift exchange. That cut way down on the number of gifts I had to buy. But I am really pleased with the gifts I have purchased, and I think the recipients will be pleased, too. I'm also happy at the extra $ in my bank account.

I have done remarkably well in not buying myself a bunch of stuff, too. Maybe it's because I have spent less time looking at sales.

How did it go? I hope you're doing well.

How R You Feeling?
 

Feeling low. My best bud has got herself hitched up do cancel ny. All my friends have significant others and I refuse to be a third wheel. Goodbye Xmas and New Years..........Bah humbug.

My eye surgery went well, but it took twice as long because they found eight tears and detachments in my retina that they had to fix as well as the hole in my macula. I can’t see anything out of my left eye other than color. Vague shapes. I’ve been laying face down 24 seven. Except for Thanksgiving dinner. They did say I could sit up to enjoy the family dinner, but now back to face down. However, now I’m able to sit up more! ButI’m worried about the outcome of the surgery. I really can’t imagine how my eye is going to come back into focus

That sounds awful. Are you able to listen to audio books or something? I hope everything turns out back in full focus.

Dear Soft Silver, Im sending the best blessings and thoughts towards your complete recovery ..take care, be hopeful :rrose:

Kinda scared...as this will be my first full day alone after major spine surgery. I hope the pups behave.

I’m heading to the emergency room. I fullybelieve I have pneumonia. My granddaughter had it and then my husband had it. I’d start coughing three days before my eye surgery but it wasn’t wicked until this weekend. I’m worried about the pressure It’s putting on my eye when I cough. A round of antibiotics and a steroid shot will get me going well again.

Still can’t see anything but forms out my left eye. I got back to the surgeon on Wednesday. I’ve ever so grateful this happened in the winter when I didn’t have gardening stuff to do!
