Happy 2020

Hi All! My first discussion post of 2020 :-) And 2020 is sure starting out right I'm happy to say. Normally I go ahead and talk about the previous month and goals that I accomplished around my first posting of the new month, however, seeing as we are already well in to January I think I will just include that here. So, things have been busy, but.... good busy. I guess the big news is that my dad is in a nursing home. It is such a blessing, I can't even explain how much of a blessing it is. Of course he is not happy, but he wasn't happy at home, either. This way, he's safe and my mom is , too. As my dad didn't understand how caring for him was effecting her. Yes. I'm thrilled and thankful. Mom and I just got back from the Hope Lodge in Minneapolis, for her series of appointments. Dad wasn't with and it was wonderful to not have to wait on him in an already stressful situation. Mom and I enjoyed a lovely Chinese meal and visit with some of the other people staying there. You tend to meet the nicest people there. Mom will need to start chemo on the 20th this month, but her numbers are already down and this chemo will be a more gentle kind. Holidays were nice as well. Mom and I celebrated by ourselves on the 21st, finally. Then on the 25th , Christmas we went to see Dad. He was actually in a nice enough mood, though he couldn't open his gifts even though they were just the gift in a big with tissue on top. New Year's Eve Mom and I ended up going to one of my friend's houses. The food (potluck) was an odd combination, and the movies we watched weren't too great but the company was delightful so that's the important part. :-) Slowly I'm getting into a routine of things. December's Goals Exercise Goal 12 Days // December : 10 That went fairly well, I owe most of those active days to the fact I do some cleaning and take some classes 2 New Recipes // December: 2 Alright, I even forgot what I made. Books none - that's alright too though, I've been listening to podcasts So, that's about it, My Lot , actually, that isn't about it but I think this post is plenty long like it is.
