Oh this made me smile :) Especially since I am only getting around to watching it on January 7th! You can get an idea of when my Christmas cards went out! And yes, people seem to understand for the most part. Spoonie Holidays!

@neartpuppy That's the way to do it! No rush, no deadlines -- just get to it when you can. :) Big hug, Diana

I agree that dishes can wait without fussing! Mine are always sitting so quietly in the sink and not a peep comes from them, lol. Glad you had a fun Christmas!

[PrettyIll1]

@potsiemommy Gotta love cooperative dishes! :) I let my nerd show when I told my husband that Christmas week would be like finals week in college -- when I'd let my dishes stack up because I focused completely on studying. He looked at me like I was from Mars! Ha. But yes, if it's not screaming, it can wait. Take care of yourself, Hon! I know the road has been a bumpy one lately. Big hug to you, Diana

@sarahdionna Yea, I used to hide, too (obviously, that was before I 'came out of the closet' on YT!!) Recently, I decided NO MORE MAKE-UP for doctor appts!! It's not worth the effort, and BOY, they understand NOW that I'm sick!!! Ha. Being an over-achiever is one of the symptoms of hydrocephalus, Hon. It just makes me wonder a little about Diamox for you! :) Sorry, it's hard to keep my "doctor" side in the closet... Big hug, Diana

[sarahdionna]

@PrettyIll1 Lol yeah. Most people don't ever see me being really sick or even think of me being sick because I am such an overachiever wanting everything perfect. Plus, when I am really sick I stay in bed or the bathroom and have nothing to do with the rest of the world so they have no idea. I have been paying for all I have done and I am actually getting ready for a Dr's appointment right now. It was worth it though! :)

@rickileeway I thought about you when I made this vid! I am still using the same (dang) microphone. I forgot to ask Santa for a new one. I'm so sorry the sound is still not up to snuff, but I promise to work on it. K? Meanwhile, thank you for chiming in! HA! Yes, you can have my brain. Take it. Someone. Please. :) Big hug, Diana

[PrettyIll1]

@NJSMKMMS Oh, Hon, you are SO welcome. You made me teary, I must confess. The improvements that you've made and the hope you now have for your family is why I do what I do. You make it all worthwhile. Thank you for sharing that. Now, LET'S CELEBRATE THE NEW YEAR! It's going to be YOUR year, my friend. :) Big hug, Diana

@debradebbiedeb My Carol Burnette is showing? Are you talking about my roots, my friend? ha. If you only knew how hard I worked at HOLDING BACK, I bet it would frighten even YOU. Big hug, Diana

@kirafaye Great idea! OK, next year, I'm headed to Australia for gift wrapping. :) Thanks, Sweetie. Supporting a great cause while you relax. HARD TO BEAT! :)
