December’s Here… Finally
December rolled in like, “Alright, everyone calm down.” After a year of chaos, appointments, extreme heat for months on end--not to mention knee battles, and one extremely rude rattlesnake (Birdie's snake bite healed thank God but she still has an intermittent limp) I’m grateful for a month finally that feels softer and a little more peaceful. Mostly because the rattlesnakes are hibernating!
Next year, I have two knee replacement surgeries to look forward to. I get my last round of cortisone shots in both which will allow me to walk and partake in holiday activities, but that's it. No more cortisone. Cortisone weakens the immune system, so one must wait 4-6 months for it to clear before a major surgery and they only last for 2-3 months, plus, we are planning the second knee replacement next fall (just a few months after the first) so, ugg! However, next year at this time, I intend to be dancing down the halls I deck with two new knees! As for 2026, I've already made my resolutions: I'll be writing more, resting more, icing, and pouring whatever energy I can muster into the worlds of Rudy, Pinky Pickle, and a few other books. "Billy" William Fourr's story and my own life's story are well on their way to being finished.
And since winter is the perfect time to curl up with a good story, here’s your reminder that my books are on Amazon — ready for cozy nights, stocking stuffers, or gifts for the grandkids :) follow the links!
Rudy’s Rescue (Book One):
PINKY PICKLE SERIES: Pinky Pickle Discovers a Bully
Pinky Pickle Rides a Bull
Pinky Pickle & the Pirate Peas
Pinky Pickle Hardcover Collection (3 books + activity pages!)
If you’re looking for winter reading, Christmas gifts, or something uplifting for the new year, you’ll find a whole shelf’s worth of fun right there.
Here’s to December—finally a month that lets us reflect and enjoy a relaxing read, a cup of cocoa. I'm sending blessings to you~
