Yesterday was a great day: sunny, mild, got a lot done. It's still mild, so we could get at least two out of three.

Oh. Not sunny. Now it's up to me.

Good morning OF. My cookies are coming along fine. I did the white background flow icing on the candy cane cookies yesterday, and the little dash of red sanding sugar. I did the background on some of the snowflake cookies too. I knocked out about 40 cookies. Today I will put the stripes on the candy cane cookies, and they're done. I'll finish up the white backgrounds on the snowflake cookies, and tomorrow I'll finish detailing them. I may bake my Christmas tree cookies tonight, depending on how I feel, and start the backgrounds on them tomorrow, after I finish detailing the snowflakes.

I really could use a pastry rack, or some stackable racks. I've got cookies on racks, all over the kitchen, waiting for icing to dry, but mine don't stack, so they're spread out all over the kitchen counters. A pastry rack, or stackable racks would free up a LOT of counter space.

DH and I take 500 mg calcium citrate with D3 daily to prevent that (and for my old bones).

If he forgets to take his calcium (even though I set out his little dish of vitamin/mineral doses for him every day ) he starts getting "charlie horse" cramps again within a few days. Worth a try, can't hurt!

That’s a good idea! Thanks!

Good Morning Old Folks @getaclue those cookies sure sound good warm right out of the oven.

Last Monday I hit over 30 lbs lost and at the ortho appointment that day I was at an acceptable-for-insurance-purposes BMI and so we set a date for my first knee replacement on January 17th.
Since then I have been filling out the office's medical passport which requires rather a bit of digging for info. More things to do and appointments coming up: EKG, chest xray, blood draw. Hopefully not another sleep study.
Looking forward to being quasi-mobile again. (I mean, I sort of get around now, just not very quickly)

Stay safe please ma'am. I see the FL weather is quite bad at the moment down where my SIL lives in the Bay Area.
