We only had a dusting of snow so far... not enough to shovel. Big step for DC.. going from large catheter bag to the smaller one, anchored with leg straps. We may venture out of the house today ! I take the dogs to the groomer at 8 AM and have a Rodan and Fields business call later this afternoon. It is nice working with a skin care company I believe in !

Why no cats eye? I was looking forward to seeing a picture!
Weight 121, calories ?, but I don't think they were overboard. I tasted some good things at the holiday party yesterday but didn't go crazy. I did have a bit more wine than I should have but that contributed to some dancing with DH at home after dinner. He was happy.
Today we are going out for an early dinner, then on a canal cruise to view Christmas lights at 6. That should get us home early enough for DH. I have been forewarned that I should pack extra layers for warmth even though it is supposed to be 70 on land at that time of night. I will post pictures tomorrow!
Have a fantastic Friday!

Terrible cough last night made it hard to sleep!! But DH is home, garland is strung on the mantle and I'm feeling much better about not having a Christmas tree! And the weather is looking more and more like a nonissue--I'm glad we can keep our weekend plans, but a little sad they won't involve the cuddly-ness of being snowed in with a pot of chili and a crackling fire.
Chiming in from Chicago (23 degrees and sunny) to say how happy I am for Bonnie150 and all who love her. That's just the best Christmas present anyone could ever have. I'm so tickled for you!

Greetings Friday Festives
Amazing how in retirement it sort of doesn't matter what day it is. Friday used to be a big deal. Drinks after work. Not its just firing day at the studio and a day NOT to go to Costco.
Down a pound to 154 today. No clue why. Wore both my fit bits yesterday to compare but somehow I don't think it gave me twice as much steps! LOL. Since I didn't put them on at the same time I don't really have a comparison.
Diane O, sounds like DC is recovering on schedule and glad he can get out a bit. Much easier if there is not a foot of snow.
Liz glad you and DH did some dancing. Good for both of you. We used to have an X box with dancing programs though it gives instructions and might be difficult. Maybe some vintage dance music he will remember.
I am doing my good deed for the day. A lady called whose daughter was burned out in the Paradise fire and had a couple pieces of my art work that were lost. She wanted to buy something of mine. I told her I would give them to her. Least I could do.
I got instructions from OH on how to post pictures but they are totally confusing. Gotta make DH figure them out.
Pizza brought home by DH last night. Ate 1 and 1/3 slice of a small pizza. Very satisfying.
Sun's out and sky is blue which means my studio will be warm and stuff dries out. Bonnie150 since you are CANCER FREE get back to that studio when you can. Dogs are basking on the deck. Life is good. Diane S

Here is a picture of puppy Rudy playing in his Sherpa bag after his flight home to Utah as a 10 week old pup. (I had to go through all the steps to make sure I explained it correctly.)
I hope that helps you!!!!
THANK YOU Peps for writing some instructions in prose for me on the photos. The stuff OH sent looked like air traffic control diagrams. My photos are not very well organized and thats part of my problem. Plus I have to print out instructions because I can't remember them. Thanks. We shall see..... diane
