My best wishes to you and all your loved ones...LOVEsteban...

what a crazy week it's been so far and it's only Tuesday! LOL! update on my knee, today, I went back to the doctor for my post-op checkup, she was very pleased with my progress. She said the stitches needed to stay in for a few more days, but with Christmas this week, I will go back on Tuesday Dec 30th to not only get the stitches out, but to also start physical therapy. She also told me after seeing my knee from the inside, I will probebly need a total knee replacement in about 5 yrs, give or take..
We had to take my computer to the computer hospital yesterday morning,  after keeping it overnight, with no word, we stopped by the shop after my doctor's visit this afternoon, to find out what's going on (we did call once yesterday late afternoon, it still needs a new battery, which THEY said would take another 3 weeks, we decided I would bring it home as is. My hubby called another Apple verified repair shop to ask them about a battery, the hubby ended up taking my laptop there, he did a quick check, ordered the battery it needs, said it should be in his shop by Monday or Tuesday, he'd call us when he got the battery, we would bring my laptop to him and he should have it ready withiin a few hours. John even liked the people in this 2nd shop better, they took the time to talk WITH him, where the other shop worker didn't want to take the time for anything... I know this time of the year is busy and stressful, but that's a business, and John was the only person in that shop. SO, one day next week I won't have accesss of my computer for awhile.
I also posted an updated bulletiin about my brother-n-law, Robert, it was dire for a day. 

Hello, Today, as always, I finished.

Time to get Mom ready. Remember:

Sleep is free, and staying awake

thinking nonsense is very expensive.

May every star light up your rest.
