The Seated View

Before I get to today’s winner, just a reminder to Terri B. and Momzilla to contact me at leneATyourlifewithraDOTcom — you won a Loopy Case. Please contact me by 6 PM on December 31, 2017. I don’t hear from you, I’ll have to pick other winners for the third giveaway . It was great to see I'm not the only one who wanted one of my calendars and a mug. Thanks to everyone who entered! The winner is: Deb who said “Still doing last minute shopping....wrapping like crazy...My kitchen is a mess with packages everywhere! It will all get done as it always does!! Merry Christmas Everyone!.” Congratulations Deb! Contact me at leneATyourlifewithraDOTcom and let me know which calendar and mug you'd like. Don't forget to include your mailing address! On a personal note, I had plans to write more for this week but my body has informed me that it’s time to rest. Wishing you a safe and happy new year — see you in 2018!   

And so, we come to the end of this year’s Advent giveaways. Throughout the year your comments, thoughts, jokes, and support means so very much to me. It has been wonderful to be able to give something back to you. For the fourth Chronic Christmas Giveaway, the winner will enjoy two things that will hopefully make 2018 better. One will help you keep your life organized so you feel less overwhelmed. And second, often, a bit of downtime starts with a cup of something hot — the other will help you transition into the Christmas habit of hygge into a year-long way of taking care of yourself.  The person who wins with get their choice of one of the five calendars I created for this year , as well as their choice of a Chronic Christmas mug or a Your Life with RA mug . To enter, leave a comment on this post. Say whatever you want — are ready for the holidays? What’s your favourite Christmas cookie? What are your wishes for 2018? And if any of those seem too complic...

Did I mention I love my Loopy? It has made using my phone so much easier and even expanded how I can use it. Dear Loopy Cases people: thank you for inventing this! Also thank you to the wonderful Loopy Cases people for donating not one, but three cases for this giveaway and including a protective screen of tempered glass for those winners who have an iPhone. It’s incredibly generous and I’m very grateful. And the winners (and their comment entries) are: Jocelyn , who said “This came at the perfect time. I was just diagnosed with RA this past summer, and as the cold sets in, I'm noticing that my grip is getting less sure and my hands hurt more.” Terri B: “I would love to try this out. Thank you.” Momzilla: “That would be amazing! I'm always afraid of dropping my iPhone due to the unlexpIned (sic) numbness and weakness in my arm and hand,” Contact me at leneATyourlifewithraDOTcom to learn more about how you can claim your prize.
