Yes, the back is better. I stopped having the spasms but it is still bothering me. It can take weeks to get over it. I slept for a few hours before it woke me up at 5:30.

We watched different types of movies last night. A bloody one about piranhas and then a cute one named Call of the Wild. Finished up with a funny one called We're the Miller's. I have watched more movies in the last couple of months than I have in the last several years.

Sure is more fun to watch with someone. A good reason to be up early is all the peace and quiet I have missed.

Hope everyone has a wonderful day. We are going to Christmas shop for Ken's granddaughter. This should be fun.

Good morning people.

Got home last night after watching our daughter's 2 boys for 2 days. What great kids they are. They're trying to be on their best behavior because they know the Elf on the Shelf, they named Chippy, is watching. Their daddy can't be home for Christmas morning so Chippy wrote them a note to tell them that if they wrote a letter to Santa he'd see that he got it. So they did and sure enough they got a very official letter from Santa. He told them that some parents have very important jobs and can't be home on Christmas morning, but not to worry because he makes a special trip to those homes so they can all celebrate together when daddy is home. Our daughter is amazing because she couldn't have handled it better. The boys had been very upset when they found out their Dad wouldn't be home Christmas morning and now they feel much better about it. Their Dad is going to drive home late Christmas night so he can be home the next morning, then he'll get a couple hours sleep before driving back to work. (The life of a pilot is not so easy)

Christmas day all 4 boys will be here at our house so they'll have presents to open and can play together. And Mike and I will be happy to have the whole family celebrate here in our new home.

@Rat2chat2 So glad to hear your back is getting better. Sure puts a cramp in your style when it goes out. You know you can still use the TENS even if you're taking drugs. It should help those muscles relax so your bones are free to move normally and get back to working like they should be. Glad to hear that Ken is there to help you, Also, have you tried putting cold compresses on your back. You can alternate with the heat, 20 minutes with each.

Hope you get back in shape so you can enjoy the holidays painfree!

Meet Me in St Louie Louie
Pickin' and a grinnin' at a winery in a few hours and have a Christmas Eve gig at an assisted living facility tomorrow ..

I'd fully intended to post a tune, but figured you'd all had enough of me for the time being ..

At any rate, may you and yours have a Happy Holiday ..

    While I doubt I'll ever pick up the guitar, I did buy myself a ukulele yesterday, mostly just for my own benefit. I'm a singer who never bothered to learn any instruments in my 50+ years. But one of the things I'd love to do in a year or ten (however long it takes me to sound at least halfway decent) is play and sing at assisted living facilities. Kudo's to you for bringing a little Christmas joy to the residents of the place you will be playing.

    And Happy Holidays everyone.

    Never. You silly, silly man! I love hearing you and admire your talent so much.

    I did buy myself a ukulele yesterday,
    I waited until my late 50's to try to play the guitar. I am not very good but enjoy it. I had problems with my shoulder and stopped. I missed it so much, I got a uke and I love it too. Very easy to learn and play. YouTube is wonderful. I also have played the harmonica for a long time. I am not very good at anything (although I throw down on When the Saints Go Marching In). I love music and it has gotten me through some rough times. I tell people that most listen with their ears but me, I listen with my heart. A song can say my feelings better than me.

    Enjoy learning the uke. It's fun.

    I am having some reservations but I guess I will be leaving for my 6th trip to Tennessee. I may end up laying the seat back for most of the trip but that is okay. I am tough as a $2 steak.

    Not sure when I will be back. I am taking two weeks' worth of medication so that is as long as I can stay. I would not mind being back home for New Year's but we will just have to see how everything goes.

    I went to the mall yesterday for the first time in 20-some years. Whew! I am good for the next 20. I have never been much on malls or shopping for that matter. I did have that little shoe fetish spell but that has passed.

    I hope everyone here has a wonderful Christmas. I will be thinking about you. I will try to post but a break from the rat might be nice too for you!

    Surely, you don't mean you won't be posting for two weeks.

    I may be able to use his daughter's internet but once we leave there and go to Waverly, I will only have my phone. I do a lot of amazing things with my phone but posting seems to be harder for me. The site does weird things sometimes. I miss Tap-a-talk. I used to post from there easily and keep up with everything.

    I am not sure I could stay away that long either unless I was really busy doing something really exciting. I will try though. I'm sorta hard to get rid of.

    I slept a little bit longer. Guess I have too much on my mind that I need to do. The coffee is already making my morning turn towards the positive.

    Been a long time since I have been in the shower at 5 in the morning. I probably will not enjoy it very much because my singing might wake up Ken. And probably not in a good way. After the hot water starts its magic. . . I will sing or hum quietly.
