Connie's Corner

I'm so pretty.....(costumicon-wise)...

I decided to go ahead and put up my Christmas tree yesterday (artificial with lights already on, thank goodness). I thought it might make me sadder without Jim, but it actually cheered me up a little, all those sparkling colored lights and Mopsy acting crazy. It's sort of mesmerizing like the om in yoga. My tree is only a couple years old, but the decorations are ancient (1960's and 70's)...lots of good memories, some store-bought, some kid-made . I am glad I put it up.

My sister-in-law's sister fell and broke her hip last week; the ball part was broken and had to be replaced. She is 85 and seems to be recovering well, although she will need to spend about thirty days in a rehab facility after release from the hospital. She was in some unimaginable pain after it happened, but with morphine and percoset, she soon started thinking of other things . What an imagination she has and so entertaining. It takes a while for those drugs to wear off...wish I'd had a recorder .

Lonewolf gifted me a costumicon, a very pleasant surprise. I love it! It makes me feel special .

Life is calling, so...

until next time....c
