Thought I'd wish everyone a Happy New Year! I hope 2018 bring us all health and happiness!!!
Well I got my stitches out on Thursday from the core biopsy. They got all good margins and it is all good, for now anyway. I have my regular full body check the end of this month, and I hope my skin is fine and there is nothing else that is new (in a bad way) or suspicious.
It is going to be really cold tonight and for the next day or two, with temperatures below freezing. I know it is no big deal compared to places that always are below freezing in Winter. But this is Central Texas and I never expect it to get that cold here.
It has been cloudy for about a week too. I hate the dreary gray weather. Hopefully it will get sunny soon too. Hubby just put away the last of the indoor Christmas decorations. So time to hunker down for a cold, dark January. LOL. At least February should start to show significantly earlier daylight and warmer temperatures.
Until then, I will strive to live each day to the fullest, enjoy life and make the best of the beginning of 2018 while it takes me a while to get used to writing 2018 !

Almost Christmas
I see I haven't blogged in weeks. Well I was busy with the Angel Christmas card project. I mailed over 300 cards! :) And I'm always busy at work, especially this time of year when folks take off so those of us who don't have off, need to pick up the slack.
I happened to have today off which is probably why it occurred to me to blog. LOL. I had an appointment at 2:00PM to have a core biopsy done on a suspicious mole clump that all the margins were not clean from the small biopsy they took last month. That just happened to be when it was scheduled, as I forgot I had today off when I made that appointment. It went okay but I can't do my exercise tapes for 8 days. That is when I get the stitches out. I'll just walk instead as that is something I am allowed to do. They don't want me bending or twisting alot. Yah right... with 4 dogs, that is going to be pretty hard to avoid. I was pretty good the rest of today...so far.
Hubby and I did have some fun this morning doing some Christmas shopping and then had lunch at a near by Mexican restaurant.
Last week I had root canal done on that abscessed tooth and it really wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. There is some medication that went in the root canal and there is a temporary filling in it. I don't go back until 'next year' to get it checked and if all is well, get a permanent filling on it (the crown was already there so they just drilled through it). I had no clue that they would let that one remain, but good thing as I saved a step that way.
I haven't done any baking for Christmas but will be making at least chocolate chip cookies when the youngest comes this weekend to visit. It will be here before we know it. I just have to get through the next two workdays.

Hump Day Off
Today I had the day off. It was one of the days I scheduled to use up the rest of my time off. I started out skipping the walk this morning as it was pouring rain and only about 40 degrees outside. It was already pouring last night when I went to bed so I knew most likely I would not be walking today, so I instead slept in past 7:30am, which for me is sleeping in.
Even though it was cold and wet all day today, I had a nice day off. We skipped going out to lunch since the weather was so yucky, but I did get a bunch of the Angel Christmas cards done. This is mostly due to hubby helping me write a lot of the inside card greetings. I have gotten 180 (out of 300 possible) done so far.
I also made a point of playing my guitar and singing which I haven't done in a long time. Hubby and I even sang a few together. We sound pretty good I think, although I'm sure I'm biased. So for the first time I actually sat in the 'music room' and used it for just that purpose. My fingers are a bit sore and my nails on my left hand are a bit mangled from playing but it was worth it. I need to play it more often!!
Well although most of this year has been about hubby's health issues this month seems to be my turn. Nothing major, but I have to go back and get a core biopsy done of that area that they took a light skin biopsy of, to get the rest of it (to make sure all the margins are clear).
And two days ago I had my regular dental appointment and showed the dental hygienist an area on my gums that has been bothering me. A spot that was reddish with a white bump that didn't go away. My dentist was not in (I only see her every 2 appointments - once a year) , but the other dentist that shares that office with her took a look, probed around and determined I have an abscessed tooth. I thought those hurt but apparently since mine is draining,it isn't painful. So now I have to go to an Endodontist next week and most likely get root canal. Fun fun.
Well back to the Angel Christmas card project.

December already?
I know..I haven't blogged in a while. But I have been busy with work and the holidays coming, as the Angel card project is under way and I've got 300 cards to try to get out. And there is the reading I am doing with the oldest for our Mom & Me book club. So yes, been a bit busy.
Today I worked some, gave Bella her first bath (which she was very good for), and decorated the Christmas tree. This will be the last year for this tree...because even though it is a fake tree, we've been having to pick up needles like crazy !!
I also worked on the Christmas photo for our fur kids this year. One picture on the bed would not likely be an option this year with the new fur kid (I don't think Bella would have stayed on the bed), so we put their scarfs on and took individual pictures instead and then I created a photo collage in Word. It isn't perfect but here it is:
