Today is Day 331 of my Daily Food Diary! 🥳
This morning, I am just going to jump right into my wins since I posted yesterday.
1) For the forth day in a row, Molly and I went for our morning walk solo. Molly was very good, again. But, it was COLD! Despite wearing 2 sets of gloves, my hands were freezing. When we got back home, my fingers were stiff and in excruciating pain. I grabbed a jar of CBD cream and lathered it on. By the time I had it rubbed in, the pain was easing – and in no time my fingers were as good as new. CBD cream for the win!
2) Last night was dart night for Dan. I cleared up the kitchen, did the dishes, massaged my hands and did my nails. After digging in garden dirt, pulling weeds, and the like all spring/summer/fall, it felt good to show my hands some winter love.

3) Finally, shortly after Thanksgiving we asked our Genie if she and her husband Alec would consider hosting Christmas this year. It is all rather complicated but with help of Alec’s Mom (who is the official hostess) that is now the plan.

CBD cream is the best. I dont like taking any painkiller pills so it’s great for me. They are both 22 – both old souls but look like young teens. 🤗

I love the picture of the bright cheery flowers! we are having blizzard conditions here and it is very cold like you said. The wind is just cutting right through you. If it wasn’t for the wind, it would be pretty exclamation

When Genie was just a tot, maybe 3, I told her that I was a little girl like her at one time. She just looked at me for a second before she realized that one day she would be as old as me. The look on her face was priceless. 🥺

Thank you, Jackie. I can’t stand wearing rubber or garden gloves so my hands take a beating. I like that ring too. I got it in a candle. 😆
