After last years snow season (we had record amounts) this year we have a record lack there of...ho hum Just 2 or 3 inches of increasingly polished powder and loads of totally beautiful ice crystals building up on surfaces outside. It is a cruel cold season so far though ..our highest temperature this season has beaten our lowest temperature for this time last year and I feel for the small birds that feed in constant rotation on the fat and seed feeder by the front door.How they survive this cold I do not know.
I'm sore and grumpy after surgery on Friday..I finally decided to deal with an imbalance caused by bc ..it's no good being a half buxom lass.. it does nothing for your posture or balance (well it did nothing for mine anyway) So I decided to go for not buxom at all... I am now strapped up like a twenties flapper and am awaiting results. Hopefully it'll be worth the fuss as I'm not partial to anesthesia..it gives me such a hangover...yuk...but after viewing last Summers holiday snaps, sad truths had to be faced up to. Next it's some dental attention and then a lot of work in the gym to compensate for loss of muscle strength. I don't recommend BC followed by breaking a leg followed by dislocating a collar bone and tearing up shoulder tendons..it's terribly aging to say the least. So now if I'm not working on a new me I am at least trying to resuscitate the old one...and who knows with a bit of time (some chocolate) a new hair cut who knows.
Oh my goodness. What a time, but it sounds like you're putting your best foot forward. Restyling sounds good to me. Of course chocolate helps. I'm sending hugs.
ReplyDeleteOh my reply got eaten..must've clicked the wrong button.I'll try again.
DeleteThanks Cheryl...I had a stiff upper lip failure..obviously I need to shop for starch.
The Elf points are brilliant. We've started off with decorated card circles and it's made for a lovely positive start to the day..Brilliant idea. I was starting to look and sound like the Grinch but the combined effects of Elf points and chocolate...:0)
Sorry to hear about all your woes. And to cap those with an earthquake! Not funny. Hope things improve for you soon.
ReplyDeleteThanks Cath...I was indulging myself with a good moan...and now feel a lot perkier.
DeleteSounds as things only can get better from now! With the help of chocolate I hope the new you will be back on track soon.

Thanks Margaetha !
ReplyDeleteChocolate has amazing powers doesn't it :0)
There's nothing quite like a good old moan followed by chocolate, a new hair do and more chocolate. Hope you feel better for it, Val. Thinking of you

Thanks Maureen :0)
DeleteI was obviously chocolate deprived and in need of a moan ...but I'm now a much happier camper.
I didn't know this, Val. I must not have been reading earlier posts in which you wrote about it. Your humor comes right through what must be not a bit humorous. Thinking of you.
ReplyDeleteThanks Nan you are kind :0)
Delete"A bit sore and a bit grumpy"?? Is that all, woman? You are a saint.....
ReplyDeleteIt sounds horrendous. Get better soon, and look after yourself. x
No Saint Rachel I can assure you ...lol
DeleteAlso No longer Grumpy ...there is nothing like a good moan.
Can I confess to still being a little sore but well on the mend :0)
I'm all for a bit (a bit? A lot!) of pampering. Good to hear you're feeling better. Take care.
ReplyDeleteI think I'm going to have to watch out on the pampering Liz...any more Chocolate and I'm going to take on the shape of a very Fat Christmas tree :0)
