Holly...
A friend of mine posted this on FB...(he lives in farm country so micies are familiar to him...)

twas the night before the night before christmas. And all thru my house. There was something stirring..it must be a mouse!..i drove in a hurry to ace for some bait...the sooner the better the mouse meets his fate! I placed the bait boxes by the chimney with care..knowing sooner or later the mouse will go there....i wa...lked thru my house in my feet that were bare... Now wishing my socks were on with such care.

cause all of a sudden i felt something splatter...i looked down below to lots of brain matter! I hopped to the shower to clean off my feet... As messy it was this mouse i did beat!... I scraped up the critter and flushed down the s#itter!... Now i can sleep without any fright.....merry christmas to mickey..and to all a good night!!!......


To which I answered...

YOU KILLED MICKEY!!!!

His reply...

It was Donald in the library with the candlestick...

Just popping in to say hi. I can't be bothered to read all the pages sorry!!

Thanks for all the messages over on Facebook - they have meant so much to John and me. You are a great bunch of people.

I'm feeling much much better today after a good night's sleep. We have had loads of snow so it looks all Christmassy for the first time since 1981. Trouble is I can't go play in it!!!

Just want to say to you all have a very Happy Christmas whatever you are doing and whoever you are with.

Marilyn, it's so great to see you back here! I love John for keeping everybody updated regularly. Glad you're home and on the mend! We all missed you!

...

Holly's still fighting a mouse or so...

and still wondering why she doesn't have snow...

I think the one I found dead under my tree was the last one.

And.....we had a BROWN Christmas. Temps were well above freezing t he past 2 or 3 days, and it poured rain all day, so what little snow we had melted.

 

[HollyTyler]

Good Morning Michelle. Are you feeling a little better today?

I'm not feeling so hot. I have an incredibly swollen and red ear....then the pain goes into the sinus and the glands and throat....an ear, nose and throat infection....very painful, but just on the right side. The left side is fine. Weird. I have not had a earache since I was a kid. Bad timing now, I can't go to the doctor until after the holiday. I hope it just goes away as fast as it came on.

I'm still snuffly... but the coughing is the worst... I almost choke and pass out... I've had this before... I just hate it... I'm taking Mucinex D - (the size of horse pills...) and just resting when I can because I cannot lay down to sleep without starting to cough all over again...)

& not to gross anyone out over breakfast..(sorry...)

But the other night I had such a hacking fit that I knew I needed cold air really quick... well...the QM's window is the only one not with screens in it still... so I ran over... stuck my head out the window and woke up half the neighborhood by coughing up a lung... THEN... I though I was gonna get SO and all I could think of was that I was gonna toss my cookies from the 2nd floor and by God it was gonna stay there until spring cause I wasn't goin to go chip it out of the ice...

Luckily the fresh air helped...

YIKES! I hope you both feel better quickly! (One for each of you).

They tried giving me morphine after my legs surgery. I told them to stop because of the pain involved with administering it....they put it in my hand and they had to flush out my veins before they put it in....that hurt so much all the way up my arm. I told them not to come near me with that stuff.

I was given Morphine once for a migraine and it made my heart pound so hard and fast, I honestly thought I was having a heart attack. I'd never been th at terrified in my life. I never want morphine again. After that horrible experience, they started giving me Demoral for the migraines. That worked wonderfully.

I loved the Bongo Christmas card from Ian too. I laughed so hard. You can't help it, they're just so funny. Thanks Ian.

Me too.....I just love Hoops & Yoyo!

 

[HollyTyler]

I can highly recommend "The Frog Princess" as a Christmas Day diversion. We ventured out into the snow yesterday to see it.

I think this is one of Disney's best animated films. In fact, I don't think they've done anything this good since "Beauty and the Beast."

Great! Can't wait to see it!

 

[HollyTyler]

OK heres a quick one for the ladys

That is sooooo cute!

 

[HollyTyler]

General Tso's & an extra eggroll please...

I always get General Tso's! 1/2 General Tso's and 1/2 Schezuan beef. Well, I used to. Haven't had it in such a long time because I know I can't be trusted to eat only a portion, I end up eating the whole carton, which probably could feed 4 people. So I just avoid it now.

 

[HollyTyler]

Sorry, shall I put it louder???

[HollyTyler]

I so agree! I use to think of Oprah but not anymore. Now it's Ian and Sukie!!!

Me too!

My ear infection got worse. Yesterday I started taking vicodin for the ear not the leg. The pain is unbearable. I phoned my doctor and he called in a script for ear drops. So I put the drops in and wear a piece of cotton in the ear. I haven't had to do this since about 40 years ago. I can't believe a have an ear infection as an adult. I used to get them a lot as a child. I have sinusitis as an adult. The infection is actually in the ear, nose and throat. It hurts in a triangle. It's nasty. My doctor wanted to script an antibiotic too, but I told him I was already on my second round of Bactrim....so he didn't need to. I don't understand how I could have gotten the infection if I was already on the antibiotic. I just hope it goes away soon. I can't stay on vicodin for long.

Deb, I hope you feel better soon. Sounds like awful pain.

 

[HollyTyler]

Havent drank that much tequila in a long time. My brother, mom and I were having too much fun. Poor V was the driver and had to babysit us! She says it was an interesting ride home!

Ouch Hope it clears up quickly. Enjoyed your pics Deb, I'm glad you were still able to enjoy going out for your Christmas dinner.

So... this is Xmas here in Glenville...

Cough... Cough... Cough cough.... cough....

I feel very sad being home alone today...I'm sick.. I'm alone... I can't really eat anything I want...

I woke up around 3 am and haven't been able to get back to sleep.

Talked to the QM... they are all doing well... They "toasted" me at dinner last night... Brian texted me the toast... (I think I'll put that kid in my will...)

I'm sorry you didn't have a great Christmas this year Michelle I'll toast to you having a wonderful year in 2010 to make up for it

Hey Bubba, what a great Christmas present!

Sukie and I went to see "Sherlock Holmes" this morning. I thought it was just OK.

I've made our Christmas dinner, vegetarian Toad in the Hole. I must admit that the gravy was rather fabulous.

Now the mince pies are in the oven heating up, and I've made some custard sauce to go with them.

Then I think we're going to collapse and snooze for a while, at least Sukie will. I'll be playing a video game.

We were too full for our mince pie tonight!

I made the candied sweet potato recipe you shared with me Ian, they were a great hit

Michelle and Deb, I hope you are both well again really soon. Sorry you were all alone for Christmas Michelle. Here's to a much better 2010 for you. You sure deserve it.

Bubba, great Christmas present.

Ian, sounds like you had a relaxing day. I love mince pies.

Holly, I loved the video I did watch of Tyler opening his present. It must have been such fun watching him live and a pleasure for you. I will go look for the other one.

Hi Kathe and Gydell.

I hope you're not going on THAT cruise line again... (V would never do that to you...)

I saw them making the yule logs on the Disneyland special they had this year... I wish I could get one of those candy canes too...

Ouch Hope it clears up quickly. Enjoyed your pics Deb, I'm glad you were still able to enjoy going out for your Christmas dinner.

Thanks Kathe!!! I put away the fixings for the Xmas eve dinner and we'll have it when mom comes home. I need to also invite Joyce over too... she's been WONDERFUL taking care of me from afar (ok... next door...)

Michelle and Deb, I hope you are both well again really soon. Sorry you were all alone for Christmas Michelle. Here's to a much better 2010 for you. You sure deserve it.

Hi Kathe and Gydell.

Thanks Marilyn!!! I've already decided that I'm going to have a better 2010. I've never had such a strange year... nothing seemed to work out ok... oh well...




Time for me to head back and see if I can get some more sleep...it IS improving.. I don't sound it yet, and I'm still coughing... The QM wanted me to go to the hospital last night... It's not that bad...
