Are We Still Here?

 

 

     There has been some discussion about the world ending today.  It appears we are still here.   I don't think too many folks were worried about it, but I feel sorry for those who had to be afraid of the happening. 
      I developed a headache overnight.  Don't know if is allergy, sinus, virus or pinched nerve.  Fortunately I was already scheduled for a chiropractic adjustment.  I think that helped, along with an ice pack, a nap and not moving around very fast.  Hope I am all better by tomorrow because it is preparation day for 3 days of Christmas celebrations. 
     I've been spending a lot of time at the piano.  I am going to play and sing an original Christmas song for my church service on Sunday morning.  It is a song a wrote a number of years ago, but haven't done much with.  So, it is a matter of figuring out a set accompaniment, learning it, practicing with the singing part and exercising my voice so I don't sound like a grandma (hello). It feels good to be at the piano again.
    I'm a little lonesome for my Wisconsin family.  I am getting to know folks out here, but the city is still bigger than  the 2, 900 citizen town of Park Falls.  I am NOT missing the  2 degree temperature they are having right now.  Friday I am flying "east"  for a Christmas visit.  Yeah!  (As long as there in no snow on the roads.)  Oh, last night my car was frosted over.  Ick.  It was gone by  today; the afternoon temps were quite mild, but I wasn't up for a walk.
