Christmas 2021

 

We celebrated at Shanna's house which made things easier to me. The kids played videogames while Snickers enjoyed being between them all

I made a black forest cake but no one ate it

Although it didn't snow on Christmas, it has since complicating my running. I went on the dreaded treadmill which I had injured myself on earlier in the year. Hoping a path will melt later today

Josh had professional photos of his family taken enlarging one of them for me

I'm back to taking jacuzzis with my light show, music and wine

I have had my laptop forever. Twelve years? It has become very slow, riddled with quirks and finally started making groaning noises. Even though I have virus protection, with non-stop ads to buy even more protection, I do get viruses. I thought that a Mac would be more free of that stuff but could I use blogger? Could I load my old files onto it? I spent a few years ignoring my expensive new Mac mulling this over but finally gave it to Naomi for her computer classes, although she needs a PC and comes to use Steve's. I figured I better transition over to a new PC before the groaning turned into outright failure. It's a work in progress. Although there is someway to load all my settings, it is not easy to understand so I have had to add all my programs one by one. Annoying. But the computer is quiet (solid state now) and fast. I will eventually like it once I have added everything.

I do hate winter though at least last week it was warm enough to go outside. Not so this week. I am sore from over exercising but not much thinner to show for it
