Wow... woke up at 6AM - rolled over and went back to sleep until 8AM. I do understand why. I did several LOs last evening. I had turned out the light at 10PM but one of the LOs was bugging me. I didn't like the title I put on it. Turned the light back on and came into the office and pulled it up. Thought long and hard and finally came up with a title that I liked. Then I decided to make a new siggy while I was up. Long story short... it was midnight before I got back to bed. I don't plan on being up at midnight tonight - I may watch the ball drop in NYC but hope to be in bed and asleep by midnight.

No, Chris... I haven't crawled under the desk yet. Think I will wait until DD#3 is here on Wednesday evening and let her help me install the new keyboard and mouse. I have to move the printer that is sitting on the desktop to get to the hole that wires have to go through. As for getting back up... the couch is right by the desk so can use it to help me get back up!!! :couchhide: Yes, I did have a PJ day yesterday and enjoyed it so much. Decided to get up and dressed before getting on the computer - otherwise it would be noon or later before I got dressed. Some how time slips away when I am on the computer. :floorlaugh:

@vickyday Ooooh... love the photo, the new avatar and new siggy!!! You are getting the New Year off to a great start with them. I wanted to start the New Year with my new siggy and avatar, too. Yes, a year sounds about right on back healing up. Hope the wrist heals up quicker. But... understand that it might take longer. My hands are still giving me fits at times. Mark sure is busy with the cabin. It sounds like such a great project. Would love to see more photos of it... once you are up to going out there.

@Cherylndesigns I hear you about not liking the crowds at WM...I feel the same. Didn't want to go there but I do like their brand of coffee. My girlfriends all raved about the coffee I made and were sure it some expensive coffee. Boy, were they surprised when I showed them WM can! I shouldn't have to go there again for a month or so. :lol23:

@bcgal00 So glad to see your streaming list... I finished watching "The Crown" and have "Shadow" on My List. I love the Jack Reacher books so will check them out, too. Decided it was much easier to find them on my computer - then add them to My List there. Then I can get to them on the large TV in the family room. So glad I went for 2 screens account for Netflix. Oh, wow... that course sounds right up your alley... and let's you get acquainted with others in the area. I am sure you will have lots of fun learning all about where to go. Hope you are feeling better by the time it starts.

HAVE A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR'S EVE
Thanks, Kay! Love your new avi and siggy, too! My wrist is sore after doing some of the elastic band exercises yesterday! It doesn't hurt while I'm doing the exercises but the next day it sure is sore! When I go back to PT this week I'm going to discuss the problem with her.
LOVE watching Jack Reacher on TV! Are the books like the shows?
Good idea to wait on your DD to help you with all the new hook-ups!
Wishing you the best throughout 2024!

Vicky @vickyday when Adrienne was a little thing, she loved this song. She used to belt out all of the words and it just tickled my dad (especially). He used to put her up to singing "Sunshine on the Water". She was very theatrical when she sang it, too. Back in the olden days, kids could ride in the front seat and she loved to stand with her arm around Dad's shoulders while he drove. GASP! She'd sing to him all the time.

Good morning ladies. I am heading out for groceries soon. I was looking at movie/series recommendations this morning, getting a list together of things to watch over the next week or two. We are really enjoying Jack Reacher right now, saw the first 3 episodes last night. I bought some frosted film for cabinet glass in my office. We'll apply that this afternoon (it'll hide the mishmash of items stored in the cabinet).

It's breakfast for dinner today.

I signed up this morning for a 12 week birding course in Calgary, starting Jan 10th, every Wed morning for 3 hrs each time, where we'll meet up at different parks and learn where to go for winter birding and get info from an instructor. Should be a lot of fun (but cold as the temps will be dropping in Jan/Feb but I'll dress super warm, I am prepared with long johns, hat, scarf, gloves, etc). It'll be fun to meet other bird enthusiasts too. They also offer a spring course so might enroll in that one too. They sell out quickly so it was a fluke that I came across it this morning (as registration just opened up). Meant to be :) I also ordered a Birds of Alberta book from amazon. I have one for BC but there are a few different birds out here.

@faerywings Glad you signed up for the hike, I'm sure you'll enjoy it. I usually do a new years day photo walk and this year I might go back to the park I visited last week to explore further.

I need to get a few things done and get out for groceries soon. HAGD everyone.
We LOVE the Jack Reacher show! We also love breakfast for dinner/supper, too!
Wishing you better health in 2024, Rae!

I know, right? How did our children ever survive all of the dangers of life? ;)

I don't know! I had a Corvette and the kids used to ride in the back (the hatch). We used to go on road trips and they'd make beds back there. They always wanted to drive the corvette so they could lay back there. One time, they got the hair brained idea to see how many kids we could get in the back. It was quite a few because they were laying on each other. :rotfl:

Happy New Year to you all! It was quite mild out today so enjoyed the dog park this afternoon and then got groceries for the next few days. I'm going to make banana bread tomorrow. Tonight we have Chinese food for dinner and I'm splurging with chips and dip later. We'll continue binging our shows. We started S5 of Fargo but am still binging Jack Reacher. It'll be a quiet night, probably won't even make it to midnight.

@faerywings Some shows on our to-binge list is Beef, Maid, Stay Close, Tribes of Europa, The Fall of the House of Usher, Ozark, The Witcher, Wednesday, Hijack, Shining Girls, Silo and Servant.

I like Foundation and Severence (Apple TV). On Disney Plus, I want to see Extraordinary and Andor.

@taxed4ever I thought about changing my on-line name but I've been bcgal00 for so many years, I just can't bring myself to change it.

I'm going to work on a layout and then get back to binging our shows. Enjoy your NYE everyone.

Good afternoon. Look who is back :rolleyes: And ready to tackle 2024. I really do feel better. It has been so good to have Sydney home and to be able to spend a week with my family around me. And, it is really good to have the TAVR within sight...I am anxious to get on with my life. I don't think that I had been aware of how much I was worried about that. I was constantly thinking about what if something went wrong while we were on the ship or out of the country. And, of course, all of my worries were for nothing. :rolleyes:

Anyway, my contract at work was renewed through the end of 2024 and they didn't care about me taking the time off for the TAVR. They only want me to make sure that I get well. They are very nice people and I'm glad that the contract was extended.

We had a great time on the cruise. The first couple of days were a little bit choppy. But then it settled down and it was pretty nice. My word for 2024 is TIME. I feel like there are so many layers to this word and how I feel about TIME now...looking forward to peeling back those layers.

Shaun is working 30 hours a week and has figured out how to go to school full time through the end of 2024 and graduate next December. He is ready to be done. I suggested that he might not want to work so many hours but he thinks that he wants to do both and most of the classes are online...so we'll see! But he seems to have a revived enthusiasm and determination so that is good.

Sydney and I are taking a 7 day cruise to Alaska as soon as she gets out of school in May. I'm really looking forward to the memories made there!

I don't know how much MOJO I have but I'm going to push through. I so appreciate the O and how supportive @wombat146 and @faerywings have been. Now let me see if I can get some reading done to catch up about what has been going on around here.

Welcome back Linda!! So happy to read you had a great rest and a wonderful cruise! xxx :hug2: :heartpumpred:


I am writing this from the future, it is 12.42pm on January 1 2024 for me Downunder! After staying up to watch some fireworks ring in the new year last night/early this morning we ended up sleeping in so I only got up about an hour ago! lol! Wishing everyone a fabulous new year and hope it brings you all that you are hoping for.!! xxxxx :grouphugyay::lovey3:
