Post-Wildcard Weekend...

There just isn't enough coffee, today.

What a long weekend of football!

First up...The Peach Bowl.

...I rarely watch college ball...but Indiana was playing...

The Hoosiers absolutely crushed Oregon. 

It was spectacular!

Bring on Miami! 

Then, the one and done Weekend Wildcards began.

The Rams beat the Panthers.

The Bears beat the Packers

The 49ers beat the Eagles

The Patriots beat the Chargers

and the Texans beat the Steelers.

...which included an intentional Crotch Crush on Nico...the guy grabbed his junk and squeezed...after the play...while he was on the ground...and how could there not be a flag on that????

So, now Panthers, Packers, Eagles, Chargers and Steelers are all out!

Exciting times.

Probably watched Aaron Rodgers play his last game.

...hopefully...

He has been declining for several years.

...should have learned from Brady...

Looking forward to the playoffs!

I think John and I are backing The Bills and/or The Bears.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

James is 39...Week 18...and a Slow Start to 2026

 

 

Okay...if I moved any slower I might be stopped...

Despite all my good intentions for the beginning on the year...truth be told...I'm still battling the inertia of 2025. Have accomplished very little this first week.

I'll do better.

Really.

Today, James turns 39.

Beginning his last year of the 30's.

Sometimes it seem hard to believe!

We are getting together next week to celebrate!

...well...dinner, anyway...

The regular football season is over.

Week 18 was dismal for both the Chiefs and the Colts.

We are completely out for the playoffs.

The Wildcard Weekend is coming soon.

So many good teams for the playoffs...they will be lit!

John and I aren't sure who we will be backing right now.  

Maybe the Bills?

Anyway, just working on myself and the house-mess.

love,

Carla 

 

 

2026

 

 

A bright shiny new year...full of possibilities!!!

And the chocolate-covered cherries are gone...therefore, December is over.

Winter still has a couple of months to go.

As John and I learned on NYE...midnight is way past our bedtime now...lol!

This year's motto?

Stephen King summed it up best.

This year I choose LIVING.

Several noticeable changes in ability...and still not sure what is real and what is stress-induced.

...and 2025 was stressful...

This year we are hoping for much less stress and low-impact, peaceful living.

Started the year with everything paid, and no debt.

Need to work on OT and PT.

 ...we've both lost some muscle mass...have 25 pounds we could lose...and I'm having a lot more loss of small muscle control...primarily on my left side...and my handwriting has turned to shit...again...

John's battle with cancer and my "stopping and recalculating" resulted in an overall "stuck-ness" last year and, admittedly, some depression with new limitations.

Feeling optimistic with the New Year!

If John can beat cancer...surely I can get stronger and get interested in life again...and relearn to sign my damned name.

And relearn to use my camera...

...don't ask...a bit of information that has just fallen out of my brain...

 

                                   Here's to a better 2026!!!!
