Re: Rep Retirement Lodge: The Banana Bread Is Running Out

Good morning Lodge. Up way too early. Couldn’t fall back to sleep. Ugh.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge: The Banana Bread Is Running Out

Good Evening Lodge!!

Sigh. I am not in the mood to Christmas shop. The places I shop usually have lots of unique fairly cheap stuff. Not this yr. Barely any Christmas decoration stuff. Not a lot of anything. Not picked over. Just not there. Wonder if it is the tarriffs. Anyone else noticing this?
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge: The Banana Bread Is Running Out

Evening, Lodge. 4 day week next week, then a 5 day weekend. Thank God.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge: The Banana Bread Is Running Out

Good Morning, MEUSA! :)
Good Morning, Mookie! :)


Good Morning to the rest of tLodge! :)

We're at the start of a warming front here in MN, which is expected to last through Xmas, possibly to the end of next week.

Because we don't have enough going on, my wife and I are hosting Xmas Eve for her family this year. :rolleyes:
Her parents can't host anymore. Her mom runs around like a chicken with her head cutoff, trying to get their house ready for the family. It's been that way since I've known them, and her dad doesn't really help. So my wife decided to take up the mantle while she's pregnant and it's not even been two months since we bought our house. Yeah...

No more work for the rest of the year! Flying home (FL), folks coming down after the holidays to escape and hit the parks and other Orlando stuff for a week or so, that'll be good. Should be post-holiday mayhem, no chance I'd put myself through that crazyness around the holidays.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge: The Banana Bread Is Running Out

Good morning Lodge. Last day in the office today for the year. Yay! Can't wait. Though I'm sure I'll be dealing with a few things while I'm home. Not doing anything or going anywhere.

Went to see my surgeon this morning as I've had two new issues come up on my foot. I have a bunion on the external part of my foot. Have had it for a while but in the last month it's really flared up to the point where I feel it's hampering my ongoing recovery. He gave me a cortisone shot to see if that will help calm down the nerve, which is apparently flared up. Got an x-ray, you can see it. Other than having a procedure, there isn't much I can do. I did find a small toe splint on Amazon that I might buy to see if that will help.

In addition I've noticed a small bump on my instep, just above the scar. When I first noticed it, there was no pain, there's no irritation or anything. However, the last two days it's started to feel uncomfortable as it's located right where the edge of my shoe hits my instep. I was wondering if it was a cyst or a calcification of something. He says it a suture that he had buried but must have broke free. He said to go back to see him in a month or so if really starts to bother me and he can do a procedure in the office to remove it. I'm relieved as I was really thinking it was something more serious. All in all he's really happy with my progress. I stood on that foot and went up on my toes and he was like "Wow, that's amazing! People who have this surgery usually can't do that." So, I have that going for me.

My FIL gave me the best bit of advice when I first started hosting (which I decided to pay attention to about 20 yrs too late). He pointed out that the only person who knew what was supposed happen or be done was me. The rest of them would be happy they weren't doing it. Pretty much was true. I stressed like crazy and they were oblivious of what I wanted to happen that didn't. Other than an Aunt in Law. She insisted, the first year, we had to have turkey for dinner for Christmas. We were going to be gone from 3:30 Christmas Eve until about an hour before they got there at 4p Christmas day. We said No. We would have ham. She showed up with a huge roast turkey in a cooler. She never did it again. One might note that when she hosted she bought almost all the food ready made, including Chinese food :confused: In my family we never, ever, had anything on the table that didn't come out of some family member's kitchen. That meant you didn't care enough to make it yourself (and it also meant we were too poor to buy stuff)

Yay you! Feet are so tough. Not easy to get around without them and when they are messed up it is even harder!
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge: The Banana Bread Is Running Out

That is excellent advice regarding hosting. Thanks!

:) Wish I had really heard it all those yrs ago. I didn't. That and I tell myself I can be creative and have a thousand awesome ideas but there is no way I could do them all, even with an army of servants. I don't listen well to myself either.

Posting this as I prepare for an open house that will have >50 but probably more that that by a 'tad'. I have all these great ideas and mum les has added extra challenge to preparation. I enjoy the creative part and I have to do the basics first. I won't give up the creative stuff ... I need to be 2 people
