Charm and I at Lunch
Sunrise Christmas Eve DayNot much to write about yet. Probably another day much like the last few. At 8:30 a.m. it was 22 below zero. Don't know what it was in the night. The first thing I do when I get up is go turn a faucet on to see if we still have water. And the news is just full of the way people in other places are having awful events with the cold and snowy weather right now. Joe went out to the ranch, and I'm hoping he has no trouble with the roads and getting in there. I don't know how much snow is out there now.
WOW! Nancy sent a wonderful care package with fun things. Bonnie brought it over since Nancy had sent everything to her in one package. It was just like Santa had come and just gave me a lot of joy. And that way I got to visit with Bonnie too. Nancy sent a pair of deerskin moccasins with my spirit colors in beading on the front. I didn't ask yet, but I'm sure Nancy made them. They are wonderfully soft and finely made. Also a fun thing was a back scratcher made out of a palm branch, the wooden part - if you can imagine the scratcher part being the wide end. It is all smoothed off without the spines. And VERY long. It certainly evokes a gift from the Southwest - they are in Wickenburg. THANK YOU MY SPIRIT SISTER, FOR THE THOUGHTFULNESS OF SENDING GIFTS. All I have for you is my best wishes to you both for the Holiday Season and the coming New Year, and thank you for your gift of friendship.
Yesterday had a nice phone visit from Sheral. They are visiting at their son's place in Denver for the holidays. They had been to their daughter's and other son's in Texas for Thanksgiving. The second daughter is on a cruise to Hawaii with her family, and having a ball I'm sure. They are my adopted family.
Charm and I are meeting for lunch at the Bottoms Up to celebrate her birthday. I really enjoyed seeing her this afternoon. After that I'll go to the grocery store, clinic and P.O. again. Might make some Christmas cookies. Might not. Might write the Christmas Cards. Or..... Might not. Have the pumpkin pie filling ready to bake a pie tomorrow. And hopefully the doctor is in his office so I can call and order prescriptions that I've procrastinated on.
Well, I'm pretty resigned now to the fact that I'll have this PICC line in my arm from now on. And am going to put up the hand held shower head that Betty gave me. That should work much better to get some kind of shower/bath and keep the line dry. I just have been in denial about this. To see a hand held shower head somewhere always seems to be a symbol of an invalid or infirmity. So I rejected installing it so far.... because..... I'm FINE! And Bonnie found a website for a place that makes a waterproof cover for PICC lines - will investiage that. She said it says "in the shower or the ocean". I don't know why I almost never think of googling things.
The new washer (second one) is making funny noises this morning.
Better go take my morning medicine. I keep forgetting to do it lately. Only can surmise I must feel pretty good.

I accept you Beautiful BIG Christmas Gift from your Heart and it fills my house overwhelmingly... thank you and May you know you are blessed and loved. nanny
If it will help any, I use the special shower head by preference. I like it better. Ann says that her two college student granddaughters in Florida also use them by preference. More versatile.
