I like Chinese but we don't have it too often. We pick sushi more often if Asian cuisine is to be had.

Hope you get a good Justice walk in Liz!

No weight until we get back to FL. Like Liz, I have been pretty steady so I'm not too worried about. I stopped tracking calories and macros right around the time I had my PS. It feels freeing not to have to track and still maintain nicely. I know I'm not getting in the protein I did before but overall think my nutrition is pretty good.

DSD is coming this afternoon, a day later but she will stay with us. I got permission for the cat to stay here too. Thankfully the owner was willing to make an exception to his rules for us!

Making pasta tonight with red meat sauce and chicken Alfredo, garlic bread and Caesar salad, easy and will feed a crowd. We will decorate Christmas cookies tonight and the kids may go out to the bar for Karaoke night.

The dogs are still a bit anxious in their new surrounds and were up and down throughout the night! I'm feeling nappy right now but not sure if I will get one in or not. DSD and DC1 will both get here around 2, DS2 is up and socializing and DS3 is sleeping since he stays up most of the night (his norm), I ran into him eating chips at 2 am and woke to an almost empty box of Swiss rolls. The kid likes to snack!

Hope you all have a great Holiday!

Greetings from the hot house! Lordy, my dad likes it warm inside. I'm sitting in the uninsulated porch room right now with my slippers off to cool off. It's 74 in the house. I slept with the window cracked and turned the heat off in the room I'm staying in and it was still 72 in there this morning. Too hot for the massive comforter on the bed. It's 30 outside and even this uninsulated room is 70. Maybe I'll drop a few pounds from sweating!

I think I'm going to Meijer (our grocery/Target-like store) to get new Airpods today. Mine have a screeching hiss when I first put them on and it's going to damage my hearing. I researched online and it's a thing with no solution. They are 6 years old, so it's time.

I need to wrap my presents today, but that's about it. Despite the heat, it's so wonderful to see my dad doing so great. It's remarkable to see the difference from him this summer. He admitted he thought he was headed toward his end with how he felt all summer. He's spry, upbeat, and seems so much happier and engaged. Claudia agreed it's night and day.

Think I'll go get dressed and start the day!

Take care and Merry Christmas Eve!

Oh my goodness!

These look great. ds

I love having the tree on all day when I am home too. Definitely does outweigh the grey outside.

18 hours sounds about right. I remember having a severe headache. After that it wasn't bad discomfort wise. But it looked pretty scary for a while. The eyelid lift was nothing compared to the facelift.
