I said was going to be off line until after the holidays but I am having a sleepless night. I have tried everything!!! I took my meds no go. I took another sleep med , no go. I had some tea, uh,uh!! Then I had a shot of Bailey's on ice, didn't do it. Next a 15 minute hot tub, not the answer. I give up!!!! so I decided to make some good use of my time by being with my Ds friends. most of you are snuggled in your bed, sound asleep, I'm jealous. It's now 4:02 here, Atlantic time for those on the Pacific coast, four hours earlier. don't know what's up tonight but my mind is going a 100 miles an hour. Must be the up and coming holiday especially my boxing Day feast for the family about 20 people more or less. I've gone over my food list and checked it twice, three times etc.... I think I've got it all. I really do not want to venture into the grocery store again. I do have to pick up my meds but that's not a really busy spot. I usually go to the coffee shop and have a cup while I wait. the liquor supply is fine ,my hubby is getting an extra case of beer. not that any of us are big drinkers but just to have the selection. I always have lots of non alcholic beverages as well, eggnog, apple cider, juice, pop, the ususal.
We went to Moncton, 35 minutes away yesterday. We wanted to have our hottub water analized but the place was closed. We then ventured into the Bulk Barn, lots of stuff in large bins with cheaper prices than the regular stores. We bought most of our X,mas candy there, my favorite too, CHOCOLATE COVERED COFFEE BEANS,yummy....! We also bought the dogs their special Xmas treats. Anyway, I'll end this little message and answer a few of your journals. I may even post my goals, we'll see. Be well, my friends, Debbie

yeah Debbie, me too...it\'s 3:50am EST, here. got woke up by Partying nieghbaors, upstairs. So what is Boxing day? Sounds like Super Bowl Sunday w/the champion football game. This is a busy time of yeaar. Sometimes I think it dosesn\'t give us time to think about our ill health, so that\'s a good thing, right? OH, you meantioned Coc.coffe beans....those are my favorite...yummmmmmmmyyyyyyyy.
I\'ve never had chocolate covered coffee beans!! I know my sleep routine is shot too, too much excitement for us old gals eh??? LOL
My sister, Carol Ann & her common law Glenn will be here tomorrow for a few goodies and gift exchange. They are going to London to visit one of his daughters Christmas Day.
I hope you have a Very Merry Christmas & have fun on Boxing Day!!! Take care dear friend, hugs Cathy
P.S. I love your picture, I can almost smell the scent of burning logs & feel the heat!!
Yes, you do have the most beautiful picture on your journals. I\'m kind of glad I\'m not the only one up so late into the night although I don\'t wish that on anyone else really. I\'m late reading your journals even but I wanted to be sure to wish you a Wonderful Christmas and the best Boxing Day too. Now try to relax a bit and give your mind a rest so you can actually enjoy the festivities and not be so caught up in the details of being the Hostess. (As if I could do that myself!) I do try though. Much love and happiness to all your family but especially to you, my friend. God speed.....Sylvia
I am picturing myself on the couch watching the light of the fire in the fireplace and the twinkling of the lights on the tree.
I pray you will be able to relax and get some sleep over the holiday. Merry Christmas to you, your hubby and daughter, and all the furry babies. Blessings.
