Ceramic tree is in closet. Maybe since i. Started to walk ill dig it out. No room really as i put up the microscope.
Have not decorated in least 2years.

It might cheer you up to put some simple decoration up.
:sadhug2:

Thanks for the thought but with a bad case of shingles its gonna be awhile before anything can cheer me up:(

I think shingles affects the nerves & its hard to manage that.
Remember its sort of a remnant of chicken pox. I had chicken pox.
Be careful as I was reading if you have blisters you can infect someone with chicken pox & not sure if birds are immune. Funny they call it chicken pox.

So do we!

We get them for our kids and their family and pets too!

Just told hubby we may want to go to metal because of grandkids.

I'm on an antiviral and a pain med-neither seems to be helping much-back to the Dr Monday!
I literally feel your pain, I have chronic shingles (I've had it 5 times so far) and as soon at my leg starts burning I start an antiviral. I've found cabbage leaves help smooth the rash part, you boil some water and quick dip the leaves in the boiling water, then smack them against the counter a couple of times, put as many leaves on as necessary to cover the affected area and let them sit for at least 30 minutes. I found the cream I was given the first time just stung and didn't seem to do much, so off to the internet I went! Unfortunately I have not found anything for the nerve pain :( I called into work once my excuse was "guys, my leg hurts too much to wear pants!"

Our tree isn't as 'dignified' this year, as we went with mixed-decorations instead of the red and gold set of metal and glass ones that we usually put on the big tree (we have a second, smaller tree that my brother and I usually put up, but we haven't had the time to this year :( )

I dug my ceramic tree out of the closet & put it up in the hallway on top of a file cabinet as there is a power strip.
So I'm celebrating walking again for christmas!

For the first time ever-I'm not putting up a tree, just to depressed I guess:(
Well, you are loved, don't forget that. I wish we were neighbors, I'd love to have a friend like you. I'd love your "Greys too!" They are such amazing birds. Still don't have my babies yet. As soon as they are ready I'll have my baby "Linnie's, can't wait! Have a great Christmas and remember that lots of us and your birdies love you! :)
