Hola Queridas,

In this house we mostly use the feminine form of Spanish words.

How have you been? I’ve been busier than a one-legged woman at an ass-kicking contest (one of my favorite corny aphorisms).

I got a new microwave and dishwasher and then I had to get my new dishwasher fixed. Then I also had a bunch of work to do, enough to pay my mortgage in January. YAY!

Mostly, I’ve been working my Floppy Scoop and tremory fingers to the bone making Christmas magic. Aside from shopping for, unboxing, and wrapping every gift my mom bought for the Sister Club, I’ve been making stuff. See the cabbage above.

I’m putting together gift bags for a Christmas game we’ll play during a Very St.Martin Christmas. It will be epic. And if it’s not, at least I’ll have had a lot of fun in the process.

The big news is I saw a Cardio-Vascular surgeon yesterday. He was very handsome and laughed at my brain damage joke, so totally aces. I had to make a brain damage joke because my sister had to correct me twice about the date of my stroke. 2022? 2023? What’s the difference?

He said there’s nothing to do right now about the narrowing in my left carotid artery. Same with the weird lesion on my brain.

This was brand new information. What weird lesion on my brain? He said it was abnormal but nothing to worry about now and we’d keep an eye on it. That means I get to have yearly CT scans. So that will be fun.

Happy Holidays, Darling Ones,
Jodi
