Must remember to type 2026 vs 2025.

I hope our ailing tribe members are recovering. DH is slowly improving and plans to play golf today. I don't think I would if I were him, but it's his choice. We didn't do much yesterday other than take 2 Justice walks. It was actually warm enough in the afternoon to take my jacket off. Today is supposed to be another 5 degrees warmer and by tomorrow be back to normal average temperatures for this time of year.

I finished reading This Tender Land yesterday. Thank you for the recommendation DD! Now I am in a dilemma as to what to recommend for my book club. I loved this book which is an uplifting coming of age story of four orphans fleeing a brutal school and making their way to a future during the depression. The other book under consideration is Maybe You Should Talk to Someone which is a memoir and contains some very moving accounts of both the authors therapy and the therapy of several of her patients. Very different books but both excellent choices. I may ask the woman who coordinates the club which one she thinks will resonate better with the group.

Not much planned yet for the day. Maybe I will take the Christmas decorations down. Or maybe I will go look at a china cabinet I saw on FB Marketplace which is a repainted older cabinet. It is about 1/2 hour from here so that may not be practical as I just remembered that I have yoga at 11.

Have a fulfilling Friday!

Here is the link for the 8 minute Tai Chi: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6L43P1MY2KA

Yay on the induction stove, I think you will love it!

So nice of you to continue to pay your house cleaner while she is healing!

Have fun watching the game with coworker and eating pizza. Who is your team again?

Greetings all

Happy New Year for real! We were asleep well before mighnight and did not even watch the NY ball fall. So jaded are we. Managed a good nights sleep - I think the fireworks were minimized by the rain. It continues today and probably for several more.

Sorry some of you still have illness. Spoil yourselves. Vernon's!! Never heard of it but now I am curious. Hope it helps CC. Nothing worse than one of those four alarm sore throats. Chloroseptic used to help but it tastes awful and would require procurement. Rest up.

You too Bonnie and Paula and anyone else who is ailing. Standing in a hot shower is a bit of comfort.

Studio buddy arrives soon for football. A good thing to do today plus allegedly she is bringing a pizza.

DD I am going to check out the 8 minute tai chi. Sounds like a fine idea. And how cool that they have lunk alarm at your gym. I so hate it when they drop big weights as this old lady is easily startled. Plus you have a grunt free zone. I plan to hit the gym tomorrow but expect it to be full. I am spoiled because it is ususally sparsely populated. And stay well for Brazil. Zinc and C.

I am not much for new years resolutions but I am going to get that induction stove. Hence easier cooking hence healthier food. Even though the old one still works it is slow and I think the oven is off temperature and it is 30 years old so time to go bye bye. Meanwhile, more pot roast is in order.

I am wondering if my cleaning person is ever coming back. I think I mentioned she had a leg fracture and has to stay off it but it has been 5-6 weeks. Would not blame her if she changed vocations but would like to know. I have continued to pay her all this time.

Anyway time for football. DH is enjoying the momentary quiet before studio buddy arrives.
