Sitting in a waiting room for my third doctors appointment this week, next week will be three more + my long overdue surgery. And there are additional visits to the pharmacy to drop off prescriptions and more visits to pick up medicine (unlikely in the US they don’t fax prescriptions to the pharmacy). I’m tired of wearing a brace or crutches. And I feel sorry for Ted who has to be a chauffeur for everything I need… yes, it’s getting old. Or maybe I’m getting old?

Well, in the meantime it is October and that means: it is almost Christmas! According to the grocery stores, who think they need to remind us, they are fully equipped with chocolates, truffles, Santa Clauses etc. Stollen and Lebkuchen and everything you might need!

And of course everybody complains about it to be too early again, but I like it! First of all: I love chocolate and second: I love Christmas! And in 6 weeks there will be Christkindlmarkets everywhere and I’ll be in heaven 🤩
