The original is on Flickr. I just wanted to play with a mask. My Thanksgiving cactus in both pots did beautifully. And right on time for the holiday!

Well xanga won't let me do the font I picked again.

So I will pick a whole new one.

I put new pictures up on flickr yesterday. Love the weedy vine one, but all sizes needs to be where you look.

I'm listening to my new CD, "I Dreamed A Dream" by Susan Boyle.

I used to have her on FB but all it ever showed was promotion for this cd.  I love her voice. She has "How Great Thou Art" that I can sing along with on this one.

No matter as I rarely pop into FB and when I use the Share button they recommend it won't let me comment so I can tell folks why I'm sending them somewhere.

I really should go walk because tomorrow is to be much colder. I missed any flurries that may have drifted down today and the advisory is over.

Need to go find a picture of mom and I. Have Christmas cards to start on. Want to include it.

Ever feel like this?  Even though I drink decaf I still want my day to start with a cup. 

Visit to the pain management Phy Asst. yesterday and of course my leg settled down so I couldn't show him exactly where the pain was. And you have to fill out a little sketch with markers for pain and numbness. Should of put numbness for my brain.  I couldn't remember how often this problem crops up or what I may be doing at the time.

I made the mistake of telling him about Sunday morning's stagger to and from the bird feeder.  Plus Monday morning's short bout of balance problem.  I think it is inner ear, he thinks I need a brain MRI along with back MRI.

So tomorrow it is off to the new place on the Southside of town to fill out paper work and be scanned. Only problem, someone ordering it forgot the brain MRI.  Efficiency at its best. I told the lady I prefer not to have to make two trips.  She's to call this afternoon and let me know if they got both requests.

Up at 1 a.m. too hot, changed into summer nightgown. Still couldn't get back to sleep. Rib cage hurts every time I move. Funny I don't notice it as much during the daytime, but lay down on the bed... ouch!  Have no idea what I did to hurt muscles there, perhaps the weight gain?  What else could stretch muscles around your rib cage?  Not been coughing either.

Well the birds are awake, time to feed.

No I didn't make this one. Grabbed it after I finally was able to do something at group. Guess the glitch was group, not my computer.

So far this morning I put my Netscape back on so I could use the editor. I didn't see I had a newer version so instead of 9 I put 7 back on. Of course I still use the real old vs. 4 too.

Then it was put winzip and wsftp back on as well. I have not put things needed for PSP back yet, in fact I haven't loaded psp9 either.

My leg gave me heck all night and again this morning. Do I make an appt. with pain doctor or see if it goes away again?  Shoot when I made an appt. with Ortho about it the day arrived and it was gone.

Need to start on Christmas cards. I only send about 30 out now. Not even going to mess with address labels, I'll hand address.

Our wreath is already on the door as I figured if Wil climbed up to see which box he put it in I may as well hang it rather than have him climb again. I also took a big red ribbon in the box and stuck some bells on it and tied it to the porch light. I need to go out and buy a little flag for the patio flag thing stuck out in the ground.  I call it patio flag for lack of proper term. It's the small flags that fade in the TX sun.  I had heard to spray Scotchguard on them first. Guess what?  It doesn't work.

This year for the bay window I'm thinking of using the two little bathroom trees and skipping putting one in there. I wish I could think of something to do with more of the ornaments that we can't use on small trees. I can only set up 4 ft. tree now. We gave the 6 ft. away last year. It was hard accepting I can't do it any more.

Neither kid can use the ornaments as neither sets up a tree. Daughter because of cats, son, bird.   We never had a problem with our cats and a tree. Squirt bottle came in handy.

Birds awake....later.

Well I'm back sort of.  I am unable to get the group page to work for me and I can't post. I've no idea if it is a problem in group or something both of my browsers are blocking.

Got a faster computer and apparently the slow loading is coming from my ISP!  That does  not make me happy. I move around offline with no problem so far. I've loaded the oldest PSP so far.

Want to see a good picture of Kahinah?  Son let me know he got some. Go here to see them. Can you imagine if I had grandchildren?

Missed church today. I could hardly walk a straight line as I tried to fill bird feeders. Then the horrible pain started in my right leg as well as my back. Perhaps I sat in this chair to long last night when I tried to get anti-virus and such back on. Or maybe it is the barometric pressure as it is cloudy outside and forecasted drizzle yet to arrive.

I talked to mom's caregiver for a long time on the phone last night.  She had taken mom up to the cemetery, hoping it would help mom. Instead it backfired. She is confused about graves, and doesn't want to be put there.

It was sad to hear Brenda say of all the older people she cares for mom is a first with little sweetness about her. It is hard to tell when mom is manipulating or it is the dementia. She has never seen anyone that can look at you with such hate in her eyes.  I told her I know all about that. Often now she has to go out and walk to keep from losing her composure. I know all about that too.

OK I have to stand up and walk a bit and a cup of tea sounds rather good.

This news in from Kovel's:  Michael Jackson's famous white glove auctioned for $420,000 (price, premium, and tax) on November 21. The left-hand leather and rhinestone-studded glove is from his 1983 moonwalk dance at Motown's 25th anniversary TV special. It was bought by the owners of Ponte 16, a gambling casino in Macau. They plan to open a shrine to Jackson in the casino's lobby. Nine other Jackson items from the auction, including the Zombie shirt Jackson wore in the "Thriller" video, will be enshrined at the casino.

"Open a shrine".  Is it just me or does that speak of our society now?

Have a good Thanksgiving everyone. Pray for those serving our country so we can have a gathering on Thanksgiving.
