raging vortex, that's nice to read about the Christmas cheer you experienced. I've noticed some, too. I hope it keeps up.

Blue Bird, I hope you enjoy your walks! It's great that your coping skills have served you well lately, but hopefully the anxiety will ease.

I didn't sleep that well last night because of soreness relating to my two root canals. Then I woke up at about 5 am with a swollen upper lip. When I tried to talk to hubby, who was up, I was slurring my words. He made an ice pack for me to put on my upper lip and it actually helped a bit, but it's still a little swollen.

I'm hungry, but don't feel up to making breakfast. If hubby does it will basically just be Cheerios. He doesn't make the yummier breakfasts I do. But even if he went for some (like bagels), I probably couldn't eat it. Bagels would require I chew with my front teeth, which I can't. I'm picky in that I don't like eggs for breakfast, only lunch. Hubby could manage eggs, though. Heck, hubby's sleeping again with no idea I'm daydreaming up things for him to do. I might just push myself to make it.

Update: I made banana pancakes with roasted ground pecans in the batter. They were yummy.
