I am so glad your mom is doing well after her bouts with breast cancer. While no cancer is good, breast cancer is one of the less deadly if caught early, which is a comfort in an of itself. Still, it is scary and I worry about my mom. Both of my grandmothers had breast cancer and I know my chances are high. <br /><br />We are having such fun with the book advent calendar. :-) I'm sorry to hear you struggle with carpal tunnel syndrome now and then too. <br /><br />Thanks for visiting, Carole!Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-36091610739645511162017-12-08T10:13:58.104-08:002017-12-08T10:13:58.104-08:00Katherine - Thank you.

I guess she didn't clear enough of a margin. Yes, rest is much needed! Maybe after the holidays. :-S I've actually been resting my wrists when I can and the carpal tunnel seems to be receding. Hopefully it will stay away for a long while again. I am glad you are enjoying The Voice! I really like how positive the coaches are too. I like it much better than American Idol, which I watched in the earlier seasons. <br /><br />Thanks for voting, Katherine!Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-57435810067186940422017-12-08T10:05:01.664-08:002017-12-08T10:05:01.664-08:00Charlie - I am glad you are enjoying your December...Charlie - I am glad you are enjoying your December so far! I hope it will continue to be a good one for you as well. Thank you for your well wishes for my mother and your prayers. <br /><br />My wrists seem to be doing a bit better at this moment. I've been wearing my braces at night and that has helped. I'm also taking more breaks from the computer (and my phone). I haven't had the surgery. Mine's not that bad yet, and I'm hoping to avoid it if I can. <br /><br />Thanks for stopping by Charlie.Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-83287678122460429182017-12-08T09:53:47.514-08:002017-12-08T09:53:47.514-08:00Natalie - I was a little surprised we had enough h...Natalie - I was a little surprised we had enough holiday themed children's books to make it work--but then, I suppose I shouldn't be. It's been a lot of fun so far. I know quite a few others who are just beginning their holiday shopping. I have so much on my plate in the next three weeks that I'm so glad I was able to get mine done relatively early. I'm not sure when I would have fit it in otherwise. I am glad to hear you are enjoying The Woman in the Window! I'm sure you are either finished or much farther in now than you were when you wrote this comment. I hope you ended up liking it. I can't wait to read it!

My mom had breast cancer at 45. 10 years later it returned on the same side with no breast (she elected not to have reconstruction). She beat it a second time. About 7 years later, a different type of breast cancer was found in her remaining breast and she had her second masectomy. I only tell you this because she beat it for the third time and is still going strong. <br /><br />I love your book advent idea. I wish I would have thought of that when my girls were little. Bummer on the carpal tunnel. I deal with that myself off and on and know it is now fun.

I think we all could just use a week of naps and lots of rest. I think most of us are running on fumes and this month is not going to help with that! I went with the historical mystery but any of these look great! I've got 1 and 3 coming up on my reading list. I've been watching The Voice too this season and am really enjoying it. This is the first season I've ever watched and I just love how positive the coaches are.
