			<<<<<<<~~~~ I am terribly sensitized to the traumatic results of the election earlier this month.  I don’t watch any news anymore (for now) but come across stuff online, once in a while.   
		
		
		
		
		
		
			To compound my heavy hearted sadness is the fact that two dear friends of mine have passed away and there are a couple family members/dear friends who might not live much longer due to health issues. ![]() ![]() ![]() Right now, I just keep my focus on making it through the day at work (which is a HUGE challenge — they voted for you know who). I still have bills to pay each month, student loan payments from hell, and a couple years of car payments. Going forward, each day, instead of my old habit of reading national news, I go to the gym early (before I go to work) and exercise for two hours based on goals I set with my gym coach. On my days off, I attend pool aerobics or do the Zumba dance class, then treat myself to a soak in the jacuzzi. Also, the holidays are ruined for me. I’ve canceled my views on holidays that most people celebrate and will now only entertain having a “holiday” (of my own making) that I use to reward myself for achievements that bring peace and joy to my life.

			I'm totally waiting out this month. I have an appointment with a neurologist. My doctor does not want me to work with this dizziness going on. So, I'm scheduled for a MRI and some X-rays of my spine. And we can proceed with the results. 
		
		
		
		
		
		
			I'm taking it easy and trying not to sit around and eat. In fact, I'm quite surprised that I've lost a pound. I'm hardly active as I was. I've already have Christmas decorations up. Seeing my pencil tree all lit up makes me smile. I have cut out a couple of quilts that I'll be sewing up soon. Next, it will be time to purge the kitchen. Between my Mom and I we had lots of doubles. Time to downsize. That surgery made me put my home and myself into, it's time to think about what will happen to my stuff. Also made me remember I'm not as young as I think I am! What frustrates me most...I'm not bouncing back like I used to!!

			I just learned about the Left and Right Twix thing.  I had no idea.  Have I been under a rock or is this not common knowledge?
