The Daily Rave

Our favorite cherry orchard in Wisconsin, Seaquist Orchard, had their free shipping for Black Friday. We ordered almost all our Xmas presents from them. The bakers among our friends get dried cherries and another group gets special cherry jams. This year I am going to add a small bottle of cherry liquor to the dried cherries to they can try soaking some of them in it.

Consumables are the best.

Cherries! Wonderful gift.

Put in my leave slip for Christmas break. Will be off Dec 20-Jan 7. I am 80 hours over the cap and if I don't use it, it will get dumped into my Sick Leave balance. I have almost 700 hours of sick leave so really don't need any more although the more I have, the more money I will get when I finally leave for good.

Had first appointment with new direct primary care physician. She is wonderful! She looked at all my xray, MRI, and CT results from past year and ordered a bunch of blood work to rule some things out, which I did that day, and she called last night to tell me the results of all the bloodwork and schedule more tests to look more into a few things. It was amazing! I highly recommend going this route, it was like going to the doctor years ago, when they listened to you and worked at diagnosing. Feel like I wasted last the whole last year, but it will be all right now.

This is exactly my experience with my own direct care physician. I have been amazed at the times she reaches out to ask questions, give me advice, etc.

Yes, she even recommended specific vitamins I need to take. And she is not alarmist, very balanced.

I got a nice box of different types of bite size brownies from the customer whose hot air freight shipments I worked on every day of Thanksgiving weekend. Very tasty, but I had a few and put the rest out for the office to share the hip spread. LOL.

The Indian half of the owners who is such a jerk is now gone to India for about six weeks. It’s like a mini vacation for me!

My little house is looking especially cozy on this cold Vermont night so I thought I'd share a pic.
