So, here we are, well into yet another Monday… and it’s raining in fall time fashion, as usual. I LOVE IT!

I am a Beanie loving, sweater wearing, fluffy slipper donning creature that comes fully online, the colder and wetter it is outside… time for soups, old movies and dreams of what wonders the coming holidays will bring. It’s awesome! This year is bringing some added Joys with our Virtual Season of Holiday Celebrations. Each week brings us a little closer to my favorite month of the year, December! Not only is it Christmas, but it’s my birthday month as well!

The first time I experienced Christmas, or my birthday for that matter, was when I was 15 and in the first foster home that actually had a desire to help children in need. Until that time, I had either been on the street, in an abusive foster home, or in a Juvenile Detention Center. No one thought about me for the holidays, not to mention remember the day I was born.

That first year of loving celebration I experienced, sparked a love and passion for the Holiday Season that has never faded for that lonely girl. Even now, after most of my life has passed by and loved ones are mostly all gone, I still love this time of year.

This year is the first time I will be actively celebrating the season, though only in Virtual form. This will be, however, the most fun I have possibly ever had… why? Because it will be free… the sky is the limit, as we not only don’t have to actually pay money, but whatever we do stays here in the lobby… so no having to find storage for the boat I might buy you, see what I mean?

For now, we are in the season of Pumpkin Spice Lattes, red and golden leaves everywhere, and soon to be seen… tiny little adorable characters seeking goodies at our door. Kids love the collecting and eating of said goodies, while parents relish selling it off to their family dentist. Ah….. fun times!

Anyways, as far as this week goes, things are moving along reasonably well. I uploaded the next entry of My Truths in the Lobby, for anyone interested.

Aside from the usual jokes, pics, songs and such… Live Novel Friday continues, featuring BRUTUS so stay tuned.

Thursday I see the Sports Medicine Specialist about my arm, so I am praying that God oversees the process, and I will go forward in faith… I need both my eyes and my hands if I am to write, so for these reasons I understand the necessity of good medical care… not pills… just good medical care!

Though I am still unable to see out of one eye, the surgeries have been scheduled so there is no going back… just let things unfold as they may. I know you might think me strange, but I sort of look at the surgeries as a Birthday present to myself… all six appointments begin shortly before my B day and continue through the third week of December… so by Christmas I will be able to see clearly for the first time in over a year and a half. I think it is going to look spectacular out, and I will most assuredly be enlisting my hubby for as many drive thru Christmas light displays as possible.

For now, however, we will satisfy our holiday desires with some food… that always works! After Live Wire this Sunday, be sure to stick around for a Fall Festival Celebration I am planning for us all… no spoilers, its my treat… no tricks!
