Taste Like Chicken Winter Solstice Wednesday

Lost a long post. Have a good day.

Thanks for the start, Chele. Hate that you lost your post. I thought Becky said she was able to save a draft, so maybe she needs to give us lessons because I haven't figured it out. Did Iggy go to the office today? I hope your weather has gotten warmer today. We are supposed to be in the 60s for Christmas. As far as we know, SIL does not know we have moved. I have been tempted to contact her ex-husband to see how he and the boys are doing but have resisted the urge. I said something  to Dale this evening about sending something to his aunt and uncle (we don't know if they are in touch with SIL) and he said he can't deal with that right now, so I guess we won't. 

Congrats on winning the pot luck trivia contest. Someties those legacy gifts can be the most fun. We had several of them where I worked in the 90s and they were very unique to say the least. One was a singing mounted trout and another was a pair of surfers on a surf board that was a little risque. Hope you enjoyed your Greek. I don't think we have a Greek restaurant anywhere near here, so I have to make my own if I want it. No candle lighting here. Did you?

Liz, I hope you are enjoying your time away from St. Crazy and your "elfing". I hope you managed to stay upright. Is it going to get warm enough to melt your snow and ice any time soon? Tell that hip of yours that it better start behaving. I bought my Flex as a result of my previous FitBit no longer wanting to hold a charge. Did you get a Flex 2? When do you go out of town? What kind of nibbles are you getting for DS's?

How was your last work day, Kathy? I'm glad you have your decorations up now.

Becky, was this a Curves day? Have your temperatures warmed up a bit?

I took Phoebe in this morning and it was a dicey trip due to freezing fog and black ice. There were multiple wrecks in Knoxville but I stayed off the interstates and only had minimal problems. They did surgery this afternoon and it was late enough that we did not get to pick her up. I talked to the surgeon around 6 pm and she said she was going to keep her on a high level of pain meds and if she was doing ok in the morning we could pick her up late morning and if she was still in need of more pain meds, it might be mid-afternoon. Given the way she bounced back from liver surgery, It wouldn't surprise me if they would tell us to come and get her when we get our update call between 7 and 8 a.m. Chemo in dogs is apparently not as bad as in humans. She will go once a week for a bolus injection and blood work (which we should be able to do the day before at our local vet if we want) and it should only take a couple of hours, so I will wait and bring her home. After the first 4 treatments, it will be every other week for a total of 8 treatments. I hope the weather will cooperate on the days we need to go so we can get this done and over with. I didn't sleep particularly well last night so I hope I can sleep tonight since we may have a rough night tomorrow night. I am concerned that they might not have gotten all the cancer this time around and if they feel it has spread quite a bit, I don't know if we will pursue aggressive treatment. I know we will lose her at some point but with all we have gone through this past year, I hope we can get one or two more good years with her.
