Last night (Sunday) and tonight I ventured out for a short while. I actually felt good getting out of the house for a bit. Last night I walked around Big Lots a little and bought a garland of sparkly red poinsettias for the mantel. It was really chilly and damp, we missed out on the snow. I promptly put the garland up and it is starting to look more like Christmas in the living room. Now tonight we went to a Chinese restaurant and drove through a snow squall, that was interesting! I had chicken, shrimp and veggies in a plum sauce-pretty tasty! We then walked through a new Staples store-I was impressed with the goodies aisle-nice for co-workers to run in and grab some chocolate covered pretzels or Kahlua filled candies. We looked at printers, etc. Mine is fine, but I do like the combos with the scanner all in one. I saw a swanky white ‘leather’ (not sure) desk chair. It’s fun to look!

I ordered Sean’s wishlist from Amazon.com and a few little things from The Hunger Site. I like that what I bought will give hungry children 70+ cups of food.

I’d like to go out tomorrow and get some color copies made of Christmas cards I made. I then have to assemble them and maybe get those yellow envelopes. I don’t plan to send them to everyone as I usually use 3 kinds of cards a year. I already printed off some photos I want to send out with them.

Bri is still so worried about me. He said, if you ever have to have something like this done again, don’t do it at Christmastime! Whoa-it’s not my fault that my mammogram was done in October and I had all the follow-ups. He’s not thinking clearly, poor guy. I worry about him too!

I had to peel off the top of the bandage as it’s really annoying me after 5 days (I didn’t take it off, just unstuck it). I did see a tiny clear stitch (like a knot of fishing line), so I do have at least one stitch. I keep the area covered up with a folded wad of tissues that I change all the time.

Not too exciting, but I’m getting around a bit! I wanted to share some old holiday photos one of these days. And enjoy my playlist of Christmas music. : )
