Nearly Christmas

I'm not ready, but it will come anyway!
It's summer here and quite hot. The cicadas are VERY loud here, deafening at times. Have to turn the tv up to hear it sometimes.
Our bed is fixed, after it went crashing to the floor one night - I hasten to say we were asleep at the time. But we like the spare bed so much we might stay there. No wonder the visitors say they have a good nights sleep!
I'm feeling the heat but just keep going anyway. Even mowed a bit of lawn this morning after the tenant moved his work truck
Good news  ... the dentist gave me the all clear, my bone density test came back clear, I've had a breast screen, the neuro was almost disinterested although he wants me to have a lp (pigs might fly) and I'm scheduled for minor surgery on my hand late in January.
All that's left is the cursed bowel scan test which I know I am putting off because last time I had to have a colonoscopy which was the nastiest thing ever - not the actual test, but the horrible prep you have to go through. It was all clear then so Hopefully I will be spared another one.
Christmas get together next week with family but no big deal on Christmas day. Neighbours will call in for drinks and snacks but I am not doing any cooking. Far too hot!
We won a huge ham at the meat raffle and while I doubt it will last till Christmas, it's such a treat.
