This is the last group of Christmas cards (unless I think of someone else I should have remembered.) I’m going to go through the 25 cards and make the final decision on which card is for which person on my list. I will probably start giving them to people Friday. It’s fun to say ‘thank you’ this way. 😁

It wasn’t as cold this morning going to the gym. I am not as bundled up now as I was yesterday, though I’m still really enjoying pulling up the shades and letting sunlight flood my place in the mornings. My son, Brian, is telling me to remember I said this when I’m having to leave the shades down until noon to give the a/c a chance to work… I told him that I’m living one day at a time and am LOVING ways I’m coming up with to get warm!

Brian has been mentioning my “puzzle chair” (above) each time he comes to my place. He is afraid the wooden chair might not be safe, though he did get me some cushions to make it more comfortable. He told me last week he had ordered another chair .

This is my computer chair and he ordered another one like this. It is supposed to be delivered today. If it is, he will come up and put it together for me.

This is my art alcove chair.

The “great chair switch” will happen when the new chair is put together. The new chair will take the place of the “art alcove chair” because I spend a lot of time sketching and painting. The “art alcove chair” will become the new “puzzle chair.” I will add the cushions Brian bought to the new puzzle chair for added comfort. We will put the old wooden chair out in the foyer and Brian will tell the office people it is available. They come pick up things people aren’t using and find good place for them. Did you pay attention? There will be a test later…😜

I have a quiet day today, other than the chair switch. I’m looking forward to finishing 4 thank you cards for Khun Nong, my housekeeper. (I put one out each week) I’ll get the Christmas cards organized so I can carry them in a folder in my carrier to give them to people as I see them. I may take some time to paint one of the sketches in my sketchbook today. FUN!

I’ve been neglecting my puzzle the last few days, so I’ll try to see if I can make some progress on that today, too. The dolphins and one good sized turtle are waiting to come to life!

SHOUT-OUT to Carla

Carla (in the light green beside the sign) and her son have a race car that was T-boned last week at another race. ☹️ It was iffy if they could repair the car well enough to race in “The Spooker Factory Stock Feature. They not only fixed the car and raced – THEY WON!!!!!!! Big congratulations to all involved. 🥳🏆

FAVORITE QUOTE OF THE DAY – My good friend Marsha and I were talking about how special our friendship is. We have known each other for years, emailing every day, sharing the good and the bad, and there are simply no words to describe how close we feel, even though we have actually met face-to-face only once. She said, “There should be a better word than ‘love’… just seems too little to me.” I will treasure this. ♥️

Today I’m using a free day to concentrate on trying to make some progress on my jigsaw puzzle. I think I’m about half way through now. It’s quite challenging because it has not only a lot of black in several areas, but also several SHADES of black. I’m learning determination, perseverance, patience, plus an increased ability to recognize SMALL bits of progress…
