It's down to the Shabbat wire

When our Sabbath begins we have to be finished with the cooking. This week it's like 4:35 when we have to stop, and that's less than an hour from now. Our helper who cleans on Friday did a fabulous job today, the house is spotless, I have challah rising that Heshy and I made, Marshall is setting up cholent, a traditional bean stew that cooks all night, this one has meat in it. We are having company for lunch tomorrow, close friends all, and the cholent smell will be filling the house until we eat it. mmmmm

Ellen the yoga teacher stopped by today with an adorable hat, so soft against my tender scalp, I have it on still. It' so nice of her to think of me. And she reports that the folks in the yoga class ask about me every time. Warm hugs here.

Tomorrow is the last injection of the magical drug called Neupogen which helps my body produce white blood cells. My blood work results are excellent. I have to inject it myself from days 3 to 9. Verrrrry carefully.

Time to iron now. Pray for a peaceful and easy Shabbat for all. And to those who celebrate the birth of Jesus, have a wonderful Christmas.
