The boyfriend had an eye doctor appointment at 8 this morning. All's looking good, and he's all set to have the other eye fixed on the 27th. A thumbs up.
Put together a chicken and rice casserole for tonight's supper. Had left-over chicken, so I added 2 cans of cream of mushroom soup, 1 can water, 1 can milk, a bit of onion powder and garlic powder, salt and pepper, 2 cups uncooked instant rice, and a cup of grated cheddar cheese. Added a bag of frozen broccoli. For dessert, we're having sugar-free strawberry jello. Woo-hoo!
Received a message that darling Cuddy will be arriving tomorrow at 4, instead of on Thursday. What happy news. Cannot wait for that little package of love to get back to us.
After this morning's eye doctor appointment, we went for a trolley out in the country. Saw a bunch of turkeys out in a field and one squirrel ran across the road in front of us. There's a small stone house we drove by, and I thought if we were young I'd want to buy it and fix it up. Kinda sobering to think that there's no longer any room for that kind of big dream. Will always love old stone houses, like the one I lived in my first eight years.
Ten days til Christmas Eve. It's the night before Christmas that holds the excitement for those of us who opened presents the night before. Isn't it interesting that after two centuries there remains debate about who for certain wrote the cherished poem, Twas the Night Before Christmas.
