Happy Birthday Consuela!!

I got a Xmas card from dcp!!! Thank you so much

Sorry to cereal post. Today is not a good morning for M. I've been really worried about him because his anxiety has gotten so bad little things jus4 completely undo him. And big things. And living with his mom isn't helping. He is having a bad morning and the details aren't important but I'm have no idea how to help.

I am proud of him though because he did have an appointment at the VA yesterday and talked to them about this and his increased back pain. They are sending prescriptions for anti anxiety meds and also pain relief. And someone is going to call him about therapy.

I hate seeing him like this and I see a lot of how I was in the past in his anxiety and I know it can get better if he had the right tools and help. I just want him to get those.

I hope that the VA visit helped M, and that the meds provide relief.

Thanks. I hope they do too. When they get here. They have to be mailed so it's a pain.

We went to the Christmas Parade which was cute. Although it became a cat herding situation.

Tomorrow afternoon there is going yo be a big dinner at some restaurant. M's mom has arranged it and I think there will be around 30 people rhere. I'll have to go straight there after work I think. Or come home briefly and then go. I'm not really looking forward to it but I'm going to be prepared to bow out early if I need to.

Cute puppy!

I hope the meds help M, askye.

thank you!

I went out for a very nice dinner with my family last night, and even got dressed up with sparkly tights!

This morning I ran the dog before the rain and now I'm lounging around listening to podcasts and making playlists; later I will make molasses cookies. Probably I should go buy a tree but see above re: rain.

Anyone else watching all the men’s World Cup?

Heading over to my sister's later to bring her mom's nativity set and put it in her front yard. She somehow managed to fall out of bed yesterday. She fell around 4 AM and waited until 5 to call my brother. There was no way he and his wife could pick her up so they called the fire department. We can't figure out how she managed falling out since she sleeps dead still on her back in the middle of her queen size bed. She did say it was the first time she had so many men in her bedroom. She's sore today, but okay.

I've spent the last few days alternating sorting Christmas decorations, working, and reading. A lot of reading to try and keep from tumbling into too big a pity party here. One book on the computer, one audible, one Nook, and one actual hardcover. All at once depending where I am sitting! Brain exercise!

I've really only seen highlights from the World Cup, meara. I enjoy it a lot, but just haven't focused on it.
