Thank you. They’ve been sniping non-stop at each other. I had a rough day in terms of coughing, but I’m making tea and going up momentarily. I recently discovered “The Gilded Age”, so that will be my treat to myself for not killing them.

Downton Abbey without English accents. No thank you

We had to pick up our Christmas steaks today, while Mike is still negative. About two days earlier than I would have liked, but what can you do? They were fresh cut today by the butcher, so they’ll be fine.

Porterhouse this year vs last year’s T-bone. We’re running out of healthy bodies here, so I asked my brother to pick up the two restaurant GC’s I hadn’t gotten around to getting.

In other news, doesn’t look good for getting dressed today either.
The “like” was for the Porterhouse.

And maybe a little bit for the Jammie day, but definitely not for the lack of health. Hope you’re all all better soon.


I made NY strip steaks for dinner tonight, with roasted spuds and glazed carrots. We have a poorly-timed road trip tomorrow for a funeral in Connecticut, then I’m cooking the Feast of Seven Fishes for eight people on Sunday. All that after arriving home late last night from Ireland, where I was visiting my terminally ill favourite uncle.

The sad face is for the uncle. Was this your final good-bye, do you think? Also, how is Cousin Vinny? (Sorry, if you did update us, I missed it.)

My friend buried her dad today. We’re not close enough that I would have attended the funeral, but I would probably have popped into yesterday’s visitation. Clearly I didn’t.

Mike and Spenser are still negative. Except for getting extremely light headed (to the point of needing to sit down before I fall down) after each coughing bout, I actually feel a bit better today. I slept well last night. FloNase to keep my nose unplugged and my magic cough syrup did the trick.

Jennifer, you are so good to remember…I haven’t updated on Cousin Vinny. He was showing promise, then reverted to touch-and-go, which is why I went to Ireland on my own (yet with my dad), but he was transferred to a long-term acute care hospital this week, where they expect he’ll stay for about 25 days before going to rehab. The LTAC hospital will be working to get him off the trach tube and breathing fully on his own. It does look like he will lose the use of his right arm, as it has been non-responsive since the hemorrhage

I’m going back again to Ireland for the 6 Jan, so I truly hope I haven’t said last goodbye. My Uncle Charlie is the light and heart of our family, and he has his heart set on a Foster & Allen concert on Dec 28. He bought tickets to take his entire family (children and their spouses, plus now my dad) to the show, preceded by dinner, as his gratitude for those support during his illness. I found out that the medication they sent him home with is steroids that will keep him fairly well until even they lose their effect and he starts to fade. So it could be weeks or months. During the week I was there, he looked great, then good, then poorly, then good again. I dont know what to think. That’s one of the very sucky things about cancer.

I’ve had better weeks, but hey, I don’t have Covid. 🤣 Flonase is magic—I have acquired allergies and it keeps me uncongested.

And now I’m finished feeling sorry for myself. Thank you for asking, and for “listening”

It’s always good to be reminded that Christmas isn’t all presents and lights and feasts and magic for everybody. Even now, someone is holding the hand of a loved one and kissing their forehead as they are being called Home.

I hope and pray your uncle makes it to his Foster and Allen concert. It will be a wonderful memory for his family once he is gone.

Also my prayer. He is so looking forward to it. We kind of know this is his last Christmas (and are heartbroken over it) but I would truly love for him to have one more summer (and I have many people praying for one more summer for him!)

All that said, if he gets his family night out at that concert, that will be enough.

I have to say that I am so, so grateful for the support of my online friends. Most of us have never met in person, but that doesn't make the friendships less real. ❤️

We almost met in person. Twice, I believe.

We’ll try harder next time we make it to NYC. (Hard to believe it’s been 5 years since we were last there.)
