We decorated the tree yesterday, and managed to get it done without drama.  I&#8217;m working on patience with these kinds of activities, recognizing that Christmas is for young children.  It is not a list of chores to be got through.  Therapy and Clemmie are working on me to be a better mother and grandmother.  About time, eh?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.planetsusan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Lemon_Bundt_Cake-1024x682.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8359\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.planetsusan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Lemon_Bundt_Cake-1024x682.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.planetsusan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Lemon_Bundt_Cake-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.planetsusan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Lemon_Bundt_Cake-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.planetsusan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Lemon_Bundt_Cake-450x300.jpeg 450w, https:\/\/www.planetsusan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Lemon_Bundt_Cake.jpeg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Today is brother John&#8217;s birthday &#8211; he is 67 today, which means next month I will be seventy.  Doesn&#8217;t seventy sound oh so much older than 69?  I know, not really..it&#8217;s just a number.  Based on good genes and sticking with the gym, I intend to be around for a while..so much left to learn.  So Happy Birthday, brother!  I&#8217;ll bake you a lemon cake to celebrate your 67 years on this earth.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"184\" height=\"179\" src=\"https:\/\/www.planetsusan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Jack-the-Ripper.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8361\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>It feels odd not having a writing assignment every day, other than this blog.  I am still like a mule in harness..gotta pull the load and go somewhere.  But book 5 of the series is done and ready for publication on Christmas day, as previously mentioned.  Then I&#8217;ll simultaneously work on the new Trumpet project and finish up the <em>Algorithmic Brain<\/em>.  Just waiting for a book from the library that I put on hold to start things off with the trumpet project.  Any suggestions of superb trumpeters would be appreciated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also working on getting my sinus issue resolved..went to Jupiter Medical Center Urgent Care to get an antibiotic to clear up the infection I&#8217;ve probably had for a couple of years!  Now I just have to let my system recover from years of Flonase and Xyrtec.  Gonna try my friend Bobbi&#8217;s suggestion of Simply Saline as a daily therapeutic.  Getting tired of waking up every morning with a headache.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.planetsusan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Simply-saline.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8363\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.planetsusan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Simply-saline.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.planetsusan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Simply-saline-150x150.jpeg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s all for the moment&#8230;enjoy your week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s Monday, the week before Christmas.
