The implant will be another story, not to be told for a number of months. . . .The whole hassle of trying to find time for appointments is always hateful to me, almost as much so as the appointment itself.

A walk around Mt. Doug park followed by roasted potato soup and watching the little girls race around the living room.

The timing of work, a mystery illness (possible Dengue fever), etc, have all conspired to make this the least festive December in memory.

For starters, I don't find it beautiful this year. Also, everything is converging in the busiest way! I'm pleased to hear that you continue to heal - and so well that you could even go running. I mean, if it was still painful to movement, you wouldn't be able to bounce up and down for 16K, right?! That's gotta be improvement.K.Linehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350615302797686048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-19484047313673773672013-12-08T10:01:15.636-08:002013-12-08T10:01:15.636-08:00I am deeply enjoying not working right about now. ...I am deeply enjoying not working right about now.

The music is so different from the Italian operas but I do enjoy the variety of productions that Vancouver Opera Association offers. Today, I will be attending an Advent carol service. We really enjoy the music of Christmas.<br />Madame Là-bashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16703782237948233124noreply@blogger.com
