Granny's gone and done it again

Hope everyone had a great Christmas.

Ours was nice. We had to push through bad news on Christmas Eve that a friend of my Husband's had passed away from metastatic lung cancer. They thought he had pneumonia from Covid nope, it was cancer. Weird thing was that he had had a cancerous kidney removed two years ago, had just had his annual checkup with his oncologist and been proclaimed cancer free. I told him, two years down three more to go. He didn't make it....

He wouldn't have wanted us to grieve for him over the holiday, so we got up Christmas morning and made it a nice day.

It makes a person cherish each day they have on this big blue marble called earth...

I am sorry for your loss, Chick. But I agree the best way to clebrate your friend's life is .. to carry on ... to enjoy life in their honor.

That's what we thought. It came as a shock to say the least. He had called my DH from the hospital last month saying he was feeling better and hoping to get sprung soon. We hadn't heard from him for a few weeks, which wasn't unusual. Until we got the news from his family. They live a distance away, in Pennsylvania. When he went through the kidney surgery, his attitude was I'm beating this! and he thought he had. Just a very upbeat character who we will miss. He and DH shared a passion for RC airplane flying and I'm sure my husband will think of him in the future ever time he goes out to fly one of his planes.

I had a phoenix roo once like this. Found out it would lose his tail every fall. Pizzed me off and I sold it

Isn’t that normal molting?

I thought they kept their long tails but I might be wrong. It took all year to grow them about 3 ft. They lost them all 2 weeks later.

I did not do well on this diet thing today. Well, technically I haven’t really started anything yet, but I’ve been wanting to at least try to be a little better. Today that went completely out the window and in fact I was way worse.

It's always harder for any of us during the holidays when all the good stuff is around. I know that for a fact.

When all is said and done, the first person you are hurting is yourself and YOU deserve better from you.

I believe in you, Shrek.

Amen to that. Only time I go off my healthy diet. I ate my last cookie yesterday. No more. Didn't overdo it too much, Only gained a pound and a half over a week of occasionally indulging myself.

The hardest thing I've found to do is live with temptation in the house with me. Cookies and chocolate in the freezer, goodies on the counter for DH. Every day I don't touch it is a gold star for me, so to speak.
