Daughter's boyfriend won't know until Saturday what hours he's working Christmas Eve. Argh! Just want to know so I can figure out the rest of the day. I have a lot to do and timing counts.

Have back pain again so not doing much of anything. Supposed to do dry needling again on Tuesday for physical therapy. Ugh, ugh, ugh...thankfully it's two days of PT and a dermatology appointment, plus a run to get rid of all the hazardous stuff we've accumulated over the past few months.

At least everyone likes the apple pie, though I find it too rich for my taste. I can hardly eat any of it anyway. Don't know how to deal with that and homemade cinnamon rolls for breakfast. Probably plan for a long walk.

Just want this week done and over with already. With med side effects and back pain, I'm a bit of a grumpy bear.
