Feeling – and Getting – Older

Feeling – and Getting – Older

I’m really feeling it lately. I’ve gained a few pounds, and I’m having that “GAH” moment when I catch myself in the mirror. It seems to be progressing a little faster than it was before.

TV Land

I haven’t really been a dedicated watcher of any regular television show for some years now. Since we finally replaced our ancient tv at Christmastime with a huge flat-screen, I’ve really been enjoying my nightly political news. My hero Rachel Maddow is almost real-size!

Tip for the sniff snuffle cough wheeze COUGH

It appears as though my “get sick for Christmas” tradition is active again this year. Can’t blame the tree, since it started before I got it. I’ve got to work tomorrow, but that’s my last day. I’m hoping to get ecards out – at least – before Christmas. I managed to send out a box to my mom and grandma – who are adjusting to sharing a house again after all these years – but that’s about it. So today…
