long time no post
I'm not sure I can be bothered with capitol letters today. They can be a pain to do on a virtual keyboard so bear with me if I miss some.
Yesterday I had another EMG. They had to set it to between 55 and 60 percent to get any reaction from my muscles, beyond that I don't have a clue how it went. I will find out how it went in December, when I see Dr. Gorman.
Yesterday I also asked my gardening group if it was time to call it quits. I had enough responses from people who wanted to keep things going to decide to keep on with it. I set up placeholder accounts on Facebook and Twitter to bring us into the 21st century and plan on having some activities to hopefully revitalise interest.
If I continue to be this strong I might arrange to be some where to meet members while ralph is off for the holidays. I don't think I would rent a space but maybe keep it casual and just meet in a pub or Starbucks. I don't know what Ralph would think of that and I am a little worried about how I look (I'm so fat I could play a member of the Hutt clan in Star Wars ffs) but I guess I can cope with it and if I can cope so can everyone else.
Last night we broke down and ordered takeout...pizza because the place we usually order from is closed Wednesday? It's the first time I've had takeout pizza in a long time...unfortunately it led to the usual 3am chugging of liquid anti-acid! Oh well, it was very tasty and worth a little heart burn.
Meanwhile, I have started thinking of the dreaded annual gift giving holiday...I ordered a few materials to maybe make some stocking stuffers and I know I have this years ornaments/decorations to complete around here some where. I named to compile a list of groceries for the holiday and to keep us going until the end of January. Things are always a bit tight in January since December is a long month. This year we might need a new fridge too. Ouch!

Since knitting is a trial I have been doing a little crochet and embroidery to keep my fingers limber, I'm thinking of adding macrame to my list of things to do. I'm pretty sure tatting will be the next big needle art but I'm not sure I want to pursue it. The scale is so small for older eyes. I am still waiting for space for my easel to open up.
Herbie has been a little odder than normal. I swear the last time we put him in hamster jail he got so upset he fainted! Maybe he felt threatened and was playing dead? I don't know. He was on his back with all four little feet up in the air, he could have been napping but it was a very odd position and he had just been yelling at us at the top of his little lungs. You would have thought he was being tortured instead of sitting in a perfectly normal pet carrier with plenty of bedding to hide in and a variety of his favourite snacks in with him. He's a very odd little bloke. He goes out of his way to avoid being stroked and gets upset and starts screaming if you talk to him too much so not a very lovey pet,though he loves us for our peanuts and will take them from our hand. One of these days I might work up the nerve to pick him up and pet him whether he likes it or not!
