34 years of wedded bliss? No, but partnership, yes.

On Saturday, our 34th anniversary, we went to the City Bar and had their seasonal tom and jerry drink and a nice sandwich for lunch. Treated our friends. Not exchanging gifts this year.
Then in the evening, Pascha, Syd and I went to Jakers. I had fish and chips, Dad had drunken noodles and Pascha had some kind of noodles too. We were pleased the the service or the food, so no more Jakers for us.
Sydney bought me a great gift. On Weds. I will have a pedicure and a manicure and I am going to choose Christmas colors! What a luxury!
Syd collects the bearfoot bears and I found a set of bears working out at rehab! He has about 9 cardiac rehabs sessions left. He has done well.
I have such a time with my knee. If I am too far down, I'm stuck....so I've learned to use the handicap toilet in Walmart etc. Anyway, last week I went to rehab for me and they gave me some exercises to strengthen my knee. I don't like them and I'm not going to do them. I am going to see about a knee brace and maybe use a cane.
The latest plan is to bring a book to the basement and stay down here until all the laundry is done. One trip a day up the basement stairs is about all I can handle. I think I'll ask the doctor about iron shots? Sure hate feeling so weak.
I need to go into town in the next two days and finish up all my shopping for Christmas, just in case I don't feel up to it next week. Sienna comes this weekend and I think she'll go to see Santa, sled riding, shopping and maybe a movie. We will have her Christmas morning. Hope you and yours are almost ready. Carol
