Happy Boxing Day, Second Christmas, Blessed St Stephen's Day, Kwanzaa.
Hey, @Drew Espinosadoes the Imperial Texas Court observe the tradition of Boxing Day and the Lord of Misrule? If so does that mean the rebel leader @spike382is in charge of the Empire for the day.
We're planning our usual Monday morning visit to the local creperie. Dinner will be either leftover baked shrimp and grit casserole from Christmas eve or leftover frittata from yesterday's brunch. Either will be accompanied by a mixed greens salad and warm mincemeat pie.
The fine print only states ... "Do Not fold, spindle or mutilate." Nothing about temporary decoration. Clo would have returned him with residual glitter in manner of cracks and crevices.
I saw the opthalmologist this morning. MRI results show no masses or signs of brain disease rather the lower eye muscles are in enlarged. As a result I cannot raise my eyes to a normal position. Likely cause, thyroid disease. I will begin a 28 day course of prednisone to hopefully reduce the inflammation. If that works I may be a candidate for a new medication to prevent a recurrence. The more worrisome thing is I seem to have developed glaucoma. After a brief improvement the pressure in my eyes was again as high as before I started treatment. I will be using two additional eye drops 3× a day in an effort to get things under control. Follow up in two weeks, a new sort of birthday celebration, hopefully one with good news.
We're having unseasonably cool weather with Christmas Eve and day forecast to be at or below 40/4° for the high temp. That's cold even for the depths of winter because the lows are forecast to be below freezing for a few days.
