So do I, and I find myself here just about every night between 2 and 3 in the morning. Between Ruthanne's generous cookies and the ice cream that I bring, I am rather contented when I crawl back between the sheets.Also, Ruth, I want to thank you for offering this peaceful and caring safe space where a person can take shelter. I love it

Ruthanne, I really hope that you can get some long term relief from the tendinitis. I had it in my shoulder and chest several years ago from working out too hard and it could really hurt at times. A friend of mine recently treated his with Occupational Therapy and that gave him a lot of relief. But like you, he did have to change some of his everyday practices.I took Spanish 1, 2, and 3 in college because I needed it as a prerequisite after not graduating high school but only getting a GED. I loved learning it but don't recall much of what I learned from lack of practice....
It's nice to see so many have visited our Night Owl's Hangout!
Happy Friday to all!
I finally got to the Orthopedic Doctor today. My tendinitis is, in part, from having the injured tendon that I got last year and partly from repetitive thumb movement. So, I'm going to try to remember to use the "pen" that comes with my cell phone instead of my thumb and also wear the new brace as much as possible. She also gave me a stronger cortisone shot. Right now the area hurts a lot. In addition to all that I will be going to Occupational Therapy for it in several weeks. She gave me the option of surgery but I turned that down.
I've made some French Country-Style Almond Macaroons for all who would like some:

I will leave them on the virtual counter top and there are plenty so have all you'd like people!
I will certainly look forward to a few of those delicious cookies later tonight.
Have a great evening my friend.

Hmm, I have Canadian ice wine, lemon tarts, shrimp and crab canapés
No problemo! I brought some macaroons cookies, too, and have asked all who like to bring us all the goodies they like so we can help them eat them up
There is an image of them in one of the previous posts.Sounds scrumptious! Crab canapes? Ooh, I do like crab!

it’s subtle, but I do get the strangest inkling that perhaps Pecos is a teeny bit obsessed with food? 
Yes, that tendonitis can really hurt--I think I will try try the OT for it after a few weeks and also after seeing how this cortisone works out. Did you see a doctor when you worked out too hard? I forgot to ask how that arm is doing now, is it healing?
Enjoy those cookies and all the food you may find here tonight!
Yes, it's in the light hearted discussions...I try to stay my distance from the Current News and Events as some of that can get rough.
