I did 3 more Christmas cards, just in case. I have one more person on my list I haven’t found yet. The rest are for people I SHOULD have listed, but didn’t or who might be at a Christmas gathering of some kind.

I’m enjoying the ‘great window opening’ at my place this afternoon. It’s 82 degrees and slightly overcast today. It’s a wonderful day for opening up, airing out, and enjoying the beautiful weather. The cross breeze is really energizing and I’m loving it!

I got a haircut this morning, so I’m looking less like a dandelion-gone-to-seed than I was. This man does a good job. He’s getting the fact that I only want to quickly wash it in the shower each morning after my workout and blow it dry. No rollers, no styling, no gels, no spray. Just clean hair that looks like someone had a plan.

We’re having some trouble getting around the past couple of days. There is no holiday as such happening now. The tourist season is in full swing, but it has been since around the first of November. I’m not sure what’s going on, but we’re having to build in more time to get where we’re going, since we have to wait longer than usual to get a GRAB.

The visit to Harvey yesterday was pretty good. He seemed to like the picture I painted for him. I was going to replace his birthday picture with the Christmas picture, but his nurse insisted I just add the Christmas picture to the wall. She indicated that I could cover the whole wall with pictures in time if I wanted to. Is she a wonderful person, or what!

I hope that you’re having a fun day wherever you are, that you’re safe from ugly weather, and that you’re surrounded by those you love.

  2. Oh yes! I am so glad Harvey’s visit went well and that his nurse will let you cover his wall with your beautiful ART!!! This is the best news!

    I hope I didn’t say too much in my other comment. you’re area may be getting an influx of people from the border due to whatever is happening there. I know nothing more.

    • Harvey has the best nurse in the world, in my opinion. She thinks of him as her dad, and couldn’t take better care of him, even putting up with his moodiness and occasional ‘demands’ that he shouldn’t be making. Thailand has Cambodians here now. Some have been here for years and others may be new. I don’t think we have an ‘influx,’ though with the bad results that might bring. This is the high tourist season, so it’s hard to tell. We have people everywhere, traffic everywhere, lots of things going on at any given time. Brian doesn’t seem worried, and he has been through this same thing many times in the time he has been here, so I’m not going to worry either, at least at this point.

      • Oh, good! On all counts. I forget you have said Brian has been there for some years. Well, we can only do what we can anyway, right?

        you have enough going on without worrying about stuff none of us can control.

        I was telling my uncle tonight how you inspire me. He doesn’t think I should get so embroiled over stuff on Substack. I always feel I can help. But I know I mostly can’t. He told me about a friend of his who died years ago who had always been upset over this or that thing that was out of his control. And that’s when you popped into my mind. We sure are connected in amazing ways.
