I forgot a couple of items when I came to my mom's house, so I persuaded her to take me to the local yarn shop. I asked about the fun fur. They have some gorgeous colors. It is on my list to buy sometime to make a scarf. I keep telling myself 'no new projects.'
And my mom called some friends of mine. One just left after a very nice visit. She brought me the book 'Charlotte Grey.' I saw the tail end of the movie the other night, but I haven't read the book.
The dr says my leg is slowly getting better. So, I have an appointment on Tuesday morning, and I'm supposed do what I've been doing for the past few days. And my mom is telling me computer time is over. LOL.
She promised me tonight that we would turn the lights off and watch for sugar plum fairies in the Christmas tree lights. My favorite babysitter when I was growing up would turn out the lights, put on "The Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies" and tell us to watch for the fairies in the lights. It is one of my favorite Christmas memories.
One more thing. I know there has been a lot of consternation about the lack of 'Merry Christmas' greetings in a lot of cities in America. As we were driving home this morning, KOSY 106.5 plays Christmas music 24/7. And as an interlude between songs, they did the narrative from 'A Charlie Brown Christmas', where Charlie Brown asks 'what is the true meaning of Christmas?' And Linus answers, quoting from Luke 2. It was excellent to have the religious part of Christmas emphasized as well as being wished a very Merry Christmas.
I'm glad to hear the doctor thinks your leg is continuing to heal. That is great news.
I know this is a hard time to take it easy and stay off of it. You're doing a great job of following orders.

You mentioned your radio station playing non stop Christmas songs. We have one here that does that too. AND yesterday I was waiting for my husband and son to unload the cart of groceries into the back of the truck, a car pulled in beside us. The man jumped out and walked briskly to me. He had a big smile on his face.
He said "MERRY CHISTMAS!!!!". I was stunned. Usually people are rude in the parking lots. I said MERRY CHRISTMAS back to him. That was a very pleasant surprise.
