This Week (12/21) in the Wintery AN World

[LADavid]

As to be expected, things are a bit quiet this week.

First on Monday, Sara (Saralynn143) from Jefferson City, MO has a follow up eye weight visit.  Hoping all goes well with it, Sara.  Are you seeing good results?  Cold dry air seems to be a killer on the eyes.

Then we have two birthdays, first on Tuesday the 23rd, Cathy (doglover) in Iowa is having her birthday.  Then Steve (sgerrard) in Portland is having a birthday on Friday the 26th.  Happy Birthday to you both.  (and my sympathies if you had to go through those combined Christmas-Birthday presents).

Let's see there was one more event this week.  Now what was it?  Oh, I remember....

MERRY CHRISTMAS Everyone!

Have a great week.

I haven't chimed in in awhile....so Happy Birthday, Steve and Cathy[/font]!   And may we all stay warm.  It's been SNOWING in Ocean Shores, WA, on the coast, for two days!  Snowing sideways of course given our incessant winds. And I hope everyone has a good holiday season despite AN.
Love,
Dana

Thanks David for the weekly update.  Hey, you could get a gig with SNL!.  Happy Birthday one and all.  And thanks, David, for not reminding us that you are probably enjoying warmer weather than much of the US.

I remember living in Ventura, California when I was about 13 years old and people were over to our apartment and they had a football game on, and it might have been Green Bay because that was the Lombardi years, and it looked like they were playing in a blizzard, which I suppose they were.  I looked outside at our blue sky and the warm temperature and I thought:  Wow, how lucky am I?  

I'm looking outside now, and it's lightly snowing again, we have 6 or 7 inches of snow on the ground and it's all crusted over with ice and I'm thinking, How lucky am I?  I have a warm house, and a husband and son watching football, which I believe is the Seattle/Jets game and there you go.  The circle of life! HA

Thanks, David, my appointment went well. My vision is still good under all that Refresh PM ointment. My eye is a little dry -- that's to be expected this time of year -- but I need to run a vaporizer or humidifier in my office and bedroom. The doctor says my eye drifts shut all the way, though it takes a little time. I am supposed to try to train myself to shut my eyes completely once a minute since my blink is just not there. Then he cut me loose for another four months, unless I develop any problems.

Merry Christmas and Ho Ho Ho,
Sara

Thanks for the birthday wishes. Can I really be turning <gasp!> 50 tomorrow! In my mind I feel 30, but my body doesn't always agree with that! LOL.

Cathy

Merry Christmas, everyone.
