bubbling over

I just have to write here this morning. I have finally gotten over my thanksgiving illness, what ever kind of cold/flu it was and put me out for 5 days! I didn't eat much for 5 days. I did have fish and chips, and strawberry/rhubarb pie for thanksgiving at my local Irish pub. All other days where kind of a haze of 1940's Charlie Chan and Sherlock Holmes movies!

So, today the sun is shining and I feel good. I have noticed that some of my clothes are loser - nice feeling. I am getting in the Yuletide spirit by listening to christmas music and especially watching my list of xmas movies - last night was "The Shop Around the Corner" with James Stewart and Margaret Sullivan. I did see "The Grinch who Stole Christmas" Chuck Jones cartoon over the weekend. I think tonight will be the "Nutcracker".  I hope to get my tree up this weekend, find blue xmas lights.

I haven't been doing zumba dancing over the last couple of weeks - but I hope to get back to it soon. The exercise really does help take the pounds off.

I did start a list of what I was grateful for on Thanksgiving, but didn't get far since I wasn't in much of a mood to write with my head feeling like a cement bowling ball. So I will modestly say that what I am thank for today is sunshine, christmas music, breath, warm showers and feeling good!
