A Christmas resolution

It has long been my intention to take better care of myself, but I never do it. Today is a good example...I had a wakeful night, and felt awful when I got up. So what did I do? I turned the carcass of last night's Christmas turkey into seven containers of turkey broth, ready for the freezer, with, I admit, some help from my husband.
Did my aching back feel better after that? It did not. Am I now lying down to rest? I am not.
No, when I don't feel well, I tackle a household task that only makes me feel worse. I do it all the time. Click on the link below to find out what I should be doing.
I should take the advice of Nat King Cole, to straighten up...


So...Happy day after Christmas to all
and to all a wonderful 2017

Now I will have a nap, and then make
a concerted effort to straighten up and
fly right, for my own sake!

Can't imagine you not flying right. We didn't make turkey this year because there are only three of us. I asked Wayne for a suggestion and he said, Cornish game hens. They were perfect baked on top of a pan of dressing. Easy to make, easy to clean up, and just enough leftovers for one more meal. No carcass for broth, but that's a small disadvantage. I like using bullion. It takes a lot less space at the cabin and lasts almost forever. - Margy

You have to take a leaf out of Lindy's book. Nothing that can't wait for tomorrow (or at least later today if you do plan to wake up in the middle of the night).

Hope you're feeling better. Sometimes moving around helps, you know? Keeps things looser. I find that the more I sit around, the more likely I am to stiffen up. Plus you have some yummy soup to show for it!

Happy New Year -- thank you for the song, which I love. I know your Christmas was wonderful -- and I can almost smell that turkey broth. It will be like having money in the bank having it in the freezer. You have soup starters now for when you don't even want to get out of bed. Of course you wouldn't feel like that if you hadn't made the broth --- this is kind of a circular thing isn't it?
