Hello Fellow Travelers!
My stupid wheelchair is looking pretty BTS (Beat to S@#@!), well, you get the general idea. It's vaguely unsightly now, it works just fine. It's beyond hope visually. So my question then becomes should I bite the bullet and order a new one? Or should I try to get along without one? You guys know what I want to do... OK, I agree, no new chair. For me, getting a new chair would be like giving up and I won't do that until Needles freezes over. That, was a no-brainer.
Moving on, Christmas: Ignore or Embrace? I'm thinking this year I should try to embrace Christmas as much as I can. We're full on in the holiday season, right? I was thinking of returning to our chosen place of worship now anyway. Ho-ho-ho! Oh, we've been done with Santa for a few years now. I have barely acknowledged Christmas the last two years (thank you brain tumor!) and now I need to step it up and get my yuletide on. Problem: I can't make or bake anything yet. I can however, order online. There is a lot of Christmas out there, right? My patient spouse already ordered Christmas baked treats for my parents from Costco. What no one told me was that they (Costco) would deliver this stuff before the end of November. So now I need to come up with something else "Christmassey". I don't think that's even a word. Maybe it should be.
My awesome in-laws always keep Christmas really well, as does my pal, Mary (still makes the best eggnog ever! And she usually has at least two themed trees.) We still go to Midnight Mass, and I was going to that long before I was Catholic. I'm not particularly reverent just a night owl and really immature. The devout don't go to M.M. they go the rest of the year. That's why it's called going religiously. As opposed to going once a year which is called Midnight Mass.
