 We had a busy day.  We went on a walk to get money for the Cleaners tomorrow.  Then I went with Carol to Ceramics, then When I returned I had a late lunch.  Then Jessi came over to change the carseat.  The boys had gotten haircuts and Lewis liked his but Wesley hated his.  Now I am blogging and then we will have dinner.  Tomorrow is the Cleaners and Friday the Gardeners.  We hope we can see Jessi for Saturday.  They are going away for Christmas for a week to Lego Land.  They deserve it.  We are not sure what we will do, but Riyad, Nora and Nikolai will be around.

 I had to go to the dermatologist today to check my face, and they took a bit of my face to do a biopsy.  They will know next week if it needs a biopsy, but probably it can wait until January 2 when I have my full body checkup.  Also we had the house cleaners here today and I took a walk by myself beforehand.  After the dermatologist we went to the Rockridge Cafe for lunch.  Then I watched a movie.  Now I'm blogging and after I will hope that dinner and everything goes well.
