One month from today is Christmas Day. This year has just flown by. It just seems like a week ago we were cutting grass and trimming trees. And now here we are sitting in snow and wearing boots and winter coats. Oh how I miss summer. And when we are just starting the winter season. Summer seems far off. Thank gawd we have Christmas in there to break things up.

I have been here in BC first of all Chetwynd, and now Dawson Creek with Jamie and the boys. I love to spend time with them all. We got a nice little condo and were very comfortable. We were going to be here until Christmas. But as always with the pipeline things change and the boys are moving again, this time I can’t go. So my little time away has just gotten shorter and I will be back home this time next week. On the positive side I will be able to get ready for Christmas a lot easier from home. But so sad to leave Jamie 😢 that is pipeline life.

We have had some fun times in my month or so here. I bought Jamie a thermos to take his beloved coffee to work. After he had taken it a few days, he brought it in one night as always I took it to clean it out. It was pretty full, I thought that was weird because he loves his coffee. Anyway I turned it upside down to empty the coffee out and out fell the paper that tells you how to use and care for your “NEW” thermos. Mac was over that night and him and I got the giggles as we saw the papers fall out. When Jamie realized what was going on he said the coffee tasted bad for three days. But never told me that before. No wonder. Lol lol 😆😆

Then I go to the car wash to wash my car it was so dirty from the warm/cold weather every other day. Anyway I am washing my car it is spraying so slow a guy who works at the car wash comes up to me and starts saying something. I cannot understand him finally he takes the wand and shows me where you push on the handle to get the high pressure. I was using it wrong for a good 15 minutes. In my defence I wash my car in my garage usually with the garden hose. I forgot there was high pressure. Lol. So I get home that night I am telling Jamie and the boys and I told them I was having a blond moment. Where Jamie then says was there a blond there. Oops forgot I was a brunette now🤪

I have had so much fun and many laughs and giggles with my guys. So nice to cook for a few good eaters and not just myself. Gonna miss you guys ❤️❤️

On another side…… I am feeling so great, and working really hard on and concentrating on being positive and not worrying all the time about what could happen again. I promise you it is something I think of at least 20 times a day. I make myself go somewhere positive and think only good thoughts. I truly believe if I didn’t, I would have no quality of life at all. You really need to stay positive to keep yourself healthy. I believe in my heart this is true. The last thing My México Doctor told me before I left this last time was not to let yourself be stressed and no accidents. Lol lol. So I am working on both.

So now off we go into the Christmas season full force ahead. It is not my favourite season. Ever since BJ died I have lost my love for Christmas. I do go along with the motions. But it has never ever been the same for us. Jamie and I talk each year about just getting through it. I will be alone most of the month of December so I might just be calling on all my friends and family to help me get to the 25th still sane. Oh yea….and now I have to put my tree up because I will be home before the 23rd as I was expecting. Shoot !!!!

Merry Christmas 🎅🏻🤶🏻🎄Everyone. Please everyone this holiday season reach out to someone who might just be in need of a friend. There are so many people who find the holidays very difficult, no one should feel alone. Depression over the holidays is very real. Be the one to reach out❤️❤️❤️

Today’s saying: one of the greatest gifts you can give someone is thanking them for being part of your life ❤️
