Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to work I go........

 

I have the match between Kokkinakis and Korda on, and wow, it's pretty exciting!  It was a bit disappointing that he didn't win the match, but it was great to watch!

As an update on the month long icky feelings I had, I am back on track to feeling good.  It turns out one of the medications I am taking was changed to a larger dosage.  I feel kinda stupid that it took me so long to figure it out.  

The dental office I retired from has called me again asking if I wanted to work for a couple of weeks to fill in for someone who's on vacation. This was 2 weeks ago, and I figured I could always use a few extra bucks, so said yes.  I am not buying anything to wear, there is no point when it's only 2 weeks.  I hate the pants I usually wear, and I have decided that at the end of this 2 weeks I'm throwing them out.  Luckily I can wear a nice pair of jeans with a button down shirt instead of dress pants.

I put the Christmas decorations away last week....we usually leave it up until after Theophany.  Then the boxes hung out in my office until today, when I re-organized it and put it away.  I really need to get rid of more of the decorations I have.  I did buy a new tree after Christmas, and got a steal on it at 1/3 the original price.  A big plus is that it weighs less than 15 pounds, so I can manhandle it to the upper shelf in the closet without help.  

I'm also painting our bedroom, it's been a long time and we're ready for a fresh coat.  I probably won't finish until I'm done with working though.  The last thing I will want to do after coming home from an 8 to 5 job is paint.  Nope!

Honestly, we have so many projects we want to do.  There's no rush, really, but it drives me crazy.  I just want to get them done!

Well, I need to make my lunch for tomorrow, and chill out a little bit.  Have a great week!

Love, 365

Happy New Year!.......

 

As you can see, Zoe was not impressed with the New Years celebrations.  Oh, not that we did anything, but you could hear the fireworks from the partiers nearby. 

I do not know what is going on with me, but I have been feeling sick more than I have been feeling well.  I had to pull over and throw up on my way home on New Years Eve.  There's nothing I hate more.  I even have special bags I use, which Romeo saw on Amazon.  But basically it's just all gross.  The next day I was very tired and still feeling a little nauseous.  Today I feel fine.  This is how it goes.  Sometimes I feel sick in the morning and fine in the afternoon.  Other times I'll feel fine for a week.  I think I complained about this before, so sorry about moaning about it.  So really, this has been going on for a month.  I have a Dr visit on Monday, so we'll see what she says.

 We have had the most strange weather!  We had 7 or 8 days in December that broke records.  Today was 54 f.  We have had one day of a dusting of snow and that's it.  I have never experienced such temps since we moved here in 1995.  In Texas these temperatures are not at all uncommon.

I made a try at making french onion soup, and it turned out pretty good!  The only thing I wish I had done differently was buy wine for it, but I didn't have any and ended up using a substitute.  It was ok, but next time I buy the wine!  I don't drink wine, it give me terrible headaches, so I never have any on hand.

I made a resolution to try new recipes at least once a month.  We will see how long it lasts!  Haha

I hope 2026 is kind to us all, with plenty of laughter and love.
