Yep, the cold front is on the doorstep. Even the air smells colder! Temps in the 40s tonight, so all windows will be closed.
Supper is done and cleaned up. We’re in chillage mode. T-or-T tomorrow at 5:30 - I hope the kids get tired right away. Guess I don’t get grandmother points for that crack … 
Hi all! Just popping in for a quick reply and to let those who don’t see me on the Book of Faces know that I live.
Still not 100% sure what’s going on with my hands. The surgeon doesn’t think it’s carpal because my ENG came back normal. But he did inject one hand with cortisone as a diagnostic. I’m not sure if I’m actually feeling more in my right hand or if it’s wishful thinking. I go back to the doctor at the beginning of December, so we’ll see.
I saw my PCP about my back and, after an x-ray of my lower back showed no bulging disks, she’s prescribing PT. I still need to make that initial appointment. Otherwise, I’m doing fairly well. I’m still a bit unsteady, but as I work on my core, that should change.
I’ve lost 10 of the 15 pounds I’d gained after coming off Rybelsus. Not sure why, but not complaining.
Still having problems with both kids. CtE is having more depressive episodes and we’re having to go tough love because they admitted to their therapist that sometimes they call to come home even when they aren’t in crisis. BtY is failing every class because he refuses to do homework. I’m just trying to keep my head above water.
I actually dressed up for Halloween this year. Sadness from Inside Out.
Poly life is going well. Still with my two long distance partners and now I have a local partner that I’ve been seeing for about a month. I’m bringing a lot of what I’m learning trying to be a good poly partner into the rest of my life (particularly with communication) and that’s helping. I’m also meeting more people in the community, which is making me more friends. So I’m happy. Which is good.
Other than that, I’m just trying to keep on keeping on. One foot in front of the other, doing the best I can when I can and being kind to myself when I fall short. Hopefully I’ll be able to get in more regularly and interact a bit.
I just pulled up a satellite view of the neighborhood where I grew up, and I’d guess that my brothers, friends, and I hit at least 120 houses every Halloween. Probably another 50 if we included the little area to the north, and if there was time, a good 100 or so more in the next neighborhood south - all without having to cross any busy streets. So you see, there was no time for pulling pranks; we were quite busy getting our trick-or-treat on. The “trick” part was never a serious threat.
Costumes were always homemade; sometimes elaborate, sometimes not. A couple of my memorable ones were the Tin Man from the Wizard of Oz, and Charlie Brown - complete with a giant round papier-mache head.
Once I outgrew trick-or-treating, I still wasn’t much into pranks. I suppose I did my share of TP’ing in high school, but I don’t recall that ever being specifically tied to halloween.
My favorite adult costume was the year the future Mrs W and I attended a party dressed as candy bars. I was Almond Joy and she was Mounds. Why? Because, as the commercials pointed out, Almond Joy’s got nuts; Mounds don’t.
Well, I leave Arkansas tomorrow, but of course there had to be a fire drill of sorts at the end of the project. Everyone at the client that we were working with on a daily basis was quite happy with what we were doing. We were pretty much wrapping up early today, when the big boss at the client company decided he wanted us to label all the empty warehouse locations, which had never been discussed before. The word came down from our management as basically “Make the customer happy.”
So we stayed two hours late today doing the necessary data entry, and instead of being done, we’re getting up stupid early tomorrow so we can print and affix the approximately 400 labels - representing literally nothing - before having to head to the airport (flight time is 3:00 pm). And our poor project manager can’t leave yet; he’s got at least another day to make sure all the loose ends are tied up (which we thought we were doing today.)
What’s good is that I’m making back a few of the hours that I lost by going home early. What’s bad is that I have to be completely packed and ready to check out of the hotel by 6:00 am, then get all dirty in the warehouse and get on a plane immediately afterwards, plus I’ll need stuff in the morning that I want to pack in my checked luggage - it’s all just more headache than I need. And if they’d just stuck to the original schedule in the first place we’d easily get this all done by Thursday, instead of scrambling like headless chickens.
Okay, enough whining. I’m going to order some food, crack open a beer, put the ball game on, and start packing.
Up from naptime, watching hockey, and having bacon cheeseburgers and an Old Fashioned. Sports is continung to disappoint me.
And always go where the locals and ex-pats hang out.
Yeah, because if it’s got multiple barcodes, it’s gonna bounce around for a sort or two, till some one figures it out.
We’re on a mission from God.
Well, it’s 73 degrees Ferret Height at 7:50P.M., so it ain’t here yet. Lots of leaves falling, though.
Ah! I was wrcking my brain to figure theat one out on FB. And {{{{Fishy}}}} on all the rest of the stuff.
Oddly enough, I dreamed I was doing that earlier(not sure why I was in a hotel in Wyoming, when I was working at the home building).
Hope everyone had as good a Monday as possible.
I started reading last week’s MMP and only read through part of Mondays because it was a CRAZY week:
Monday-I was up early and all ready except for eating breakfast because my Monday morning walk buddy wanted to go at 7am. Well as I was eating breakfast at 6:40am, Hubs texted from upstairs asking if I could take him to the ER. We arrived at 7:30 and by mid-afternoon the Infectious Diseases Doc said he would be admitted. I stayed until 4:30 then hightailed to work where I was able to get 4 days of transactions recorded in just over an hour. Of course, it helped that I had asked the Manager to print all the reports that I would need. That alone generally takes about 5-7 minutes per date.
Tuesday-up early, got a bunch of stuff together to take to Hubs then went to the Fitness Center to workout. Then to the hospital. I went to the main entrance and stopped at the desk to ask what room Hubs was in because when I texted him asking where they had moved him to, he didn’t reply; (later found out that it was because he had turned his phone off because the charge was getting low). I was VERY surprised to learn Hubs was still in the ER. He’d been moved twice from a room with 4 walls and a door to a cubicle that had 3 walls and a curtain across the front. Was told by nurse that he was one of 14 people in the ER waiting for a bed in a room to open up. I opened the bag of stuff I brought, more than Hubs asked for, the main things he wanted were a charger, toothpaste, toothbrush and clean underwear. I also brought slides, and other clean clothes and reading material. Well, it turned out I brought the wrong charger. shucks. So, just stayed about an hour then checked out a former restaurant that I used to frequent for lunch before I retired; yep, still open, so I kept it in mind for dinner. Drove to Kroger gas, parked my car at back of lot and walked home. Got the correct charger, etc and had a very quick sandwich and drove Hubs car to Kroger gas where I parked both cars at the same pump, trunk to trunk and fueled both vehicles which together took just shy of 26 gallons. Since I had $1. off per gallon gas points, I saved almost $26. Got gas for $2.09/gallon. Then parked Hubs car at back of Kroger gas lot and drove my car to the mechanic shop. Hubs’ buddy said he would have one of the guys drive me back in a few minutes so I ran across the street to the Middle Eastern pastry shop and bought a chocolate croissant. But sorry, I forgot to ask what kind of cheese they put in the cheese croissants; I promise to ask next time I go. So, young Dan, (4 yrs younger than my daughter) drove me back to Kroger gas where I hopped in Hubs’ car and drove to the hospital. He was still in the ER and was happy to get the correct charger. I stayed about an hour and a half and was there when the Infectious Diseases Doc came by. Then called the restaurant and ordered a ground beef enchilada dinner. After I picked it up, went straight home and ate about 2/3 of it. Just as good as I remembered!
Wednesday-worked, came home, cleaned and washed almost a week’s worth of dishes because Hubs hadn’t felt well enough to do so while I was in Chicago and this was the first day I had time to do so. Then back to the hospital. Hubs finally was moved to a room on Tuesday night at 9:30pm so he was in the ER for 38 hours. At least he wasn’t on a guerney in a hallway like about 4 or 5 peeps that I saw. He had called me as I was driving there and told me the nurse had taken out the IV so he would be discharged soon. Took him home, had other 1/3 of enchilada dinner and crashed.
Thursday- Hubs’ bud picked me up at 6:50am and drove me to the shop where I gave him my CC and ended up signing for almost $3,400 of work; went to work and also to the Fitness Center and worked out.
Friday-we went to the hospital for a 30 minute Pulmonary Test. I had to make 2 calls to reschedule Hubs’ various appointments that conflicted with other appointments that are happening this week.
Saturday-my sister picked me up and we went on a lot of stops;
first- Sabina’s restaurant for sis to pick up a quart of dill pickle soup
second- market for sis to pick up Srodek’s Pierogis (I have plenty of pierogi in the freezer)
third- cemetary to clean the grave marker for our Mom’s sister who only lived 2 weeks. It was partially grown over so we used garden shovel, small hand rake, then washed the grave marker, lastly lit a candle and said a prayer.
fourth- candy store that makes the best candy! I got 3 boxes of dark chocolate, one for me, one for daughter, one for BFF. My sis got 9 boxes, 3 for herself, 3 for BIL and 3 for service workers.
fifth- different cemetary where our Mom & Dad, Babcia & Dziadzia, Wujek and Aunt (my godmother) & Uncle are. We dug out the grass around our parents markers and put pea gravel around them to try to mitigate the grass growing back, then pushed back the grass around all the other markers, washed all, lit the candle and said prayers at each grave.
sixth- went to Polish Village Cafe for lunch. THEY have the best dill pickle soup which I had along with a roast pork sandwich while sis had one city chicken and a half order of meat pierogi.
seventh- home where I watched my dear Spartans lay a big egg (but not as big as the prior week); at least they scored 12 pts this week as opposed to a big goose egg last week against THE OTHER school.
Sunday- mass, worked out at Fitness Center, Krogering, watch Spartan basketball charity exhibition game against Tenn (they raised funds for Maui) and unfortunately they were on the wrong end of an 89-88 score. Gosh darn it guys, make your Free Throws!
So, that’s it for last week.
Today- walked to work with friend, wore long sleeve dress shirt, sweater, jacket, raincoat, hat and gloves, so got a ride home when done. Hubs went to chemo himself so I vacuumed and filtered water.
As far as the week’s holiday, Oct 30 was called Devils Night so us older kids in the neighborhood would go out and ring doorbells and run and hide. We soaped the windows on a few cars. When a new family moved onto the block, they didn’t know about Devils Night so they went somewhere for the evening and left all the lights off. So, a bunch of us soaped many of the windows of their house. The wife cried when she saw it. Somehow it came out which ones of us participated so we ended up with pails of water, soap and rags to wash all the windows by hand next day.
I lived in a neighborhood of ranch homes, blocks and blocks of them so we ended up getting tons of candy. My favorites were root beer barrels. I liked chocolate candy also, particularly Snickers, but the root beer barrels were special. Each of us would sort then line our candy up for Mom to take a picture, then came the trading.
Oy, vey! What was up with Hubs? Glad he’s home.
Evening all. Cancelled soccer practice, it was 45F with complete cloud cover and periods of rain and 10-12MPH winds to put an extra chill in the evening, so simply not worth it. Then went out to the field to check and yep, one parent hadn’t got the news, so good that I did. Then rode over to watch a friend’s U15 team play, but only could last the first half due to the cold (yeah, it was 45F but for N. Ali-bama, that is cold). Freeze warnings for tonight and into Wednesday, so the heater will be getting some work after having a week off. Wendy’s provided the evening repast.
As for cruising, I come down on the “I like it” side, albeit it ain’t for everyone. Last few cruises have been with a large group of friends, one of them is a travel agent and he arranges some interesting places and tries to get us on nice ships. He’s in charge of the one I start next week through the Panama Canal with about 50+ friends, acquaintances, and complete strangers.
Flyboy, April is a better month for seeing Alaska, everything was open and the weather was pretty nice (except for the glacier, pack ice had the channel closed off). To each their own.
shoe, sounds like a nice costume. And I’m a big fan of root beer flavored Dum-dums.
boo fae, hope the storm doesn’t make travel to difficult.
Cookie, some cruises go places where you can’t get to any other way (two I’ve had in my life are Antarctica and the Galapagos), but those cost the big bucks, most are designed to give as many people as possible as many experiences as possible. The Panama canal cruise I’m taking is interesting as we’ll have 4-5 days at sea with no port calls so we’ll see how that goes.
Pilot, hope your home safe and sound, thanks for the wonderful trip-in-words, really enjoyed it. New Zealand is worth the visit, I went with a tour that stayed each night in hostels to keep the costs down and had a lot of fun. And India and Vietnam sound interesting.
Oopsie, love that Blues Brothers take.
Real Fish, sounds like life is moving along with the usual bumps in the road (hope the lads get straightened out).
I chortled. Safe travels, will you have access to your bag before check-in? Most airports have a lobby restroom (pre check in) and I’ve done a few quick changes there in my life.
Cat Glove, that was quite a week. Hope Hubs is doing better.
Pardon, me, WHAT!?!?!
OK. have a long list of You Tube channels to watch and some other things to get done, so all y’all take care and I’ll see you on 2sDay.
Happy Moonday!
No park today. I slept through several alarms, and it was wet and miserable out anyway.
Today is moving day.
The movers were scheduled to come between 1-3, but they changed it to 2-4. They are supposed to call me when they leave their previous move and let me know they are on the way. We’ll head over there after they call. I had thought about going early and getting in a soak in the tub, but I feel icky this morning and I know I won’t want to go upstairs.
I wish I didn’t have to go over there at all. I may wait in the truck with the dogs. I forgot to schedule them for daycare. My son can let them in and show them what needs to go.
No pranks on Halloween for us, my mother patted us down as we went out the door.
Costumes were those with plastic masks, whatever we wanted to be that year.
We had one neighbor aka, the neighborhood witch, who gave out full sized Hershey Bars. That didn’t make up for her bitchiness the rest of the year.
One neighbor made homemade cookies or candy apples for just us neighborhood kids.
How cool to drive a combine, Taters.
I hate to say this but, when my dishwasher was doing what your dishwasher is doing, it wasn’t the dishwasher. The main line out of the house was starting to back up. I hope it is the dishwasher and not a plumbing problem.
Glad you are enjoying your trip, Pilot.
MetalMouse, Echo has gotten worse since Ripple died.
Echo was a social butterfly until the park got closed for the plague. After we went back, she started getting bitchy with dogs she didn’t know. The entire group worked with me and we got her somewhat back to normal. She may not always listen when I tell her NO!, but she listens better to men, and she especially will listen to Lucy/Petey dad. She adores him and if he scolds her, she gets her feelings hurt.
Then after Ripple died, she got worse. She doesn’t want any dogs she doesn’t know coming near me, and the area she considers to be near me is a pretty wide area. She’s fine if I’m not around.
Ripple was a steadying and stable influence in her life, now she seems insecure in a lot of ways. I think she wants to protect me, but she doesn’t have the discernment to tell what is or isn’t a threat.
There has been a lot of change for her too. Lucy died several months before Ripple, and Lily doesn’t come to the park anymore because she is getting grumpy with other dogs. Once we are settled in, I hope Lily will come by and she and Echo can reunite. Lily was her best friend. The morning group is basically gone, all of her pack is gone, and then we are moving.
Although, I think she really likes this house. She gets excited when we come here, and I know all three of them love the bigger back yard.
My son hates this house. He says everything is inconvenient.
We just have to get used to it. He has to admit, having a separate laundry room and no washer in the middle of the kitchen is nice. No basement stairs and not having to empty the dehumidifier every day is a plus too.
I never finished this morning.
So, the College Hunks Hauling Junk showed up. Two little scrawny guys, I was expecting big burly football player types.
Neither one goes to college, one never went and the other is still in high school.
It did not go smoothly.
First, they went to the new house instead of the old house. The orders had them reversed.
They had to take my bed totally apart. I thought they would have to take the headboard off, but they still couldn’t get it down the stairs.
My son says the wall upstairs needs to be repainted after they banged into it a few times. All the walls need to be painted anyway, so no big deal on that.
However, my dresser fell apart as soon as they picked it up. They loaded all the pieces on the truck and delivered them. My son wanted to take the whole mess to the dump, but seeing how upset I was, he managed to put everything back together, although it is a bit wobbly.
I have some suspicions about the dresser, and I’m not putting it on the moving guys.
My son put the bed back together so I didn’t have to pay the moving guys to do it.
All things considered though; I think it probably would have been cheaper to buy new bedroom furniture.
I’m disappointed that the furniture won’t fit in my bedroom the way I wanted it. I don’t want to switch to the master bedroom though. There’s only one small window in there and I like lots of sunlight in my room. My son sleeps during the day, so it is better that he has the darker room. Also, I wanted to have the door to the backyard so I can let the dogs out easier.
It’s so funny that one day I was thinking that I want to add another room to the back of the house. Then my son said, we need to add another room back here. That’s something I never expected to hear out of him.
It’s all done though. There are a few things left in the old house that we can get tomorrow. I’m going to get some pros in to clean the place. I was supposed to meet with the realtor tomorrow to talk about listing the house, but we are rescheduling to Thorsday. I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed right now, and I think she wants to take her granddaughter ToTing.
We’ll get Adam on Hump Day when two of the dogs are in daycare so he will have time to explore and find his place without being harassed. Rayleigh is pretty good about leaving Adam alone, so I’ll keep him home.
Rayleigh is going through another fear phase, I think.
My son has some ocarinas and as he was unpacking them, he started playing them for the dogs. Echo and Misiu were fascinated, Rayleigh put his tail between his legs and left the room. He’s been a little nervous about new stuff lately.
Misiu has confidence to spare. Nothing fazes him.
I need to order groceries to pick up tomorrow. I also need to reschedule two doctor appointments. They are on the same day that my son has jury duty and I would like him to go with me in case I want to take the walker. Depends on how I feel. Today I didn’t need a walker or a cane, other days I feel like my balance is off. My son says that if I stopped looking down and didn’t stiffen up, I would be fine.
Gotta pay bills tomorrow too. And work up a budget for repairs for the old house.
Still so much on the list to do.
I’ll try to remember to post a pic.
… and you can keep anything root beer flavored to yourself.
Trade ya for strawberry, watermelon, or grape flavored?
Deal.
Amazon will sell you a whole big bag of nothing but root beer dim dums and you were saying you are looking for something to wean your snacking away from cheese balls……
Congrats on getting to the new place!
Canes pulled it off. i need an AED.
KittenMitten, dang, that was a week. Hope Hubs keeps getting better.
Sari, glad the move is done. And maybe Echo will get better now that all the change is done.
No tricks when I was a kid, they weren’t really a thing and my folks always came trick-or-treating with us so they could visit with the neighbors.
Mom always made our costumes, I wanted a plastic mask and cape like all of my friends, but noooo, I always had to be the one in the fantastic handmade costume that all of the grown-ups had to gush over while all the other kids were eating their candy.
Later, I became a big Rocky Horror fan and was Magenta for years. “Unseen, I see all.” After that, I became Lola from the Coco Cabana. Not the hot chick featured at the beginning of the song, by that time I was much better suited for being the crazy washed-up drunk with faded feathers in my hair showcased at the end of the song.
Nowadays I’m just an old woman in a sweater handing out full sized candy bars. I think the kids like that costume best.
Our housekeeper is coming tomorrow and we will buy a dozen candy bars to hand out in case kids come to our door. This is highly unlikely, the homes are far apart and the roads are dark. Folks usually take their kids to the Trunk or Treat instead, so we will also pick up a couple of bags of fun sized bars to donate for that.
Today I made a batch of Divinity and my new mixer didn’t bog down and get whiney when the Divinity was ready so I kept mixing it and it is super dry and crumbly now. My fault, I should have checked better instead of assuming anything.
It still tastes great but I’m a show off and won’t share it with friends because it is ugly and not perfect. Instead I will give it to our housekeeper because her grandkids won’t notice how bad it looks.
shoe graciously accepted my offer of cookies but we didn’t discuss candy. shoe, I won’t send any of this batch to you but let me know if you would like some of the next batch. It will look much better.
Well, there you go! We are going to have to wash our fountain tomorrow too, woe is us, LOL!
We had several neighbors who gave out popcorn balls, but that was before fear of razor blades, so we got to eat them. Not to mention that at least one of my parents was with us to see that Mrs. Johnson was giving out popcorn balls, so we weren’t eating food made by strangers.
One lady made beautifully decorated cupcakes for certain kids and her house was always the first we visited because Mom wanted to sit and have coffee with them while Dad was shepherding us around the block. I remember that we all got to pick a cupcake and I remember Mrs. Pritchard putting the cupcakes on a plate for Mom…but I can’t ever remember eating one. Hmmmm…Mom wouldn’t have kept the cupcakes for herself while we were gorging on cheap candy, would she?
I am so sorry. Our dishwasher died during the end of days and it took over a month to get a replacement. It sucked.
Spending the money did as well, but hand-washing dishes when you are spoiled is really ick.
Great, just great. But at least nobody actually was able to use it cause that can turn into a serious PITA.
There’s nothing like stepping into a pile of warm cat puke first thing in the morning to wake you right the fuck up.
“because like JtC’s parents, mine didn’t let me out of arms reach.”
I’m sorry you didn’t have a wonderful time, even sorrier that you caught the plague. I hope you recover quickly. The folks I know who believe in science have seemed to recover much more quickly than the anti-vax people, so hopefully that will apply to you and the Mrs. as well.
I’m so glad she did! It’s good she’s feeling well enough to be bored, hopefully she will be home soon.
Cracks up!
Hey! Tell them you have it around the beginning of April and we can have a mini-dopefest while watching the sky go dark.
This is one of the few things I miss about working.
Love your costume, I’ll bet you rocked it!
HURRAY!!! Go you!
It’s good to hear from you. Dang about not knowing what is wrong, that must be such a hopeless feeling. I hope you stay well and that things improve for the younglings.
What a week, but this is the most concerning part. I hope he is OK.
I figure the one year I don’t buy some candy is the year we get clobbered with adorable little mooches. 
Well, DH starts a new job tomorrow. Could only be a few weeks, but the pay rate’s good. Seems the local electricians’ union is quite eager to get their members irking (which since part of DH’s dues will be a percentage of wages* benefits them as well).
I’m still trying to find a large percentage of the apartment, rather limited by my back. I hope to complete unpacking and shelving books tomorrow, then I can tackle the more miscellaneous boxes of “what the hell’s in HERE?”.
I’m inclined to think cold is worse, but that’s a pretty subjective scale.
We got the latest vaccine a couple of months ago.
Abbey is showing her belly, so I hope she’s feeling better. We’ll take both cats to the vet on Saturday.
Well, of course that is how it happens!
I have to admit that I’m a little surprised though. I would have thought that parents would love to take their kids ToT at apartments because folks live closer together and don’t drive cars on the well lit walkways.
I’m super happy DH has a new job, temporary or not.
My father was a life-time union member and one of the things his dues went to were his retirement bennies. Thanks to that, he was able to retire when his health went south instead of being forced to work even though he wasn’t physically capable of doing the work anymore.
And aren’t showing the serious symptoms Hubs and other anti-vaxers I know. “Better living through chemistry” isn’t just a DuPont motto, I live it every day!!!
Up, caffeinated, and sheveled. Off to heave.
LOL. If my parents knew a quarter of the things my friends and I did, I’d still be grounded at age 52.
Considering that last year I made as much money as I ever did in a non union management job, with better, cheaper benefits, a (good)union is worth every penny of the dues.
Morning, mumpers! It’s properly autumnal today - currently 11c/51f with a predicted high of 12c/54f and rain showers. Weather app is unimpressed and asked “It’s rainy. Who ordered this fucking shit?” It is very dismal out there, it’s been raining on and off, and the sky is very grey. Also, it’s 10.20am and still dark enough to warrant having a light on in the room where I’m working. On the plus side, it’s nice to be at home rather than out there!
Seanette I’m happy to hear about DH’s new job, even temporary is better than nothing and hopefully it will lead to more permanent things.
flyboy I’m sorry about the covid crud, but having had the latest vaccines you’re better protected against the worst of the symptoms. It’s not a cure, but should keep symptoms to the more mild end of the scale. I’m still annoyed that I can’t get a covid booster here at all, I am below the age threshold and don’t have any illnesses that would bring me into a “vulnerable” group. 'im indoors has asthma so he got a free flu shot and the covid booster. I would have had to pay for my flu shot except I got a voucher from the uni to cover the cost.
Cat Glove you certainly had a year that week, didn’t you? I hope Hubs improves and you get a little more peace and tranquility in your life.
sari glad to hear the move is nearly done, but sorry about the ongoing woes 
Nothing much exciting here - I had a reasonably quiet irk-day yesterday, logged off at a reasonable time and managed to get a couple of chores done before settling on the sofa for some quality lap time with Shadow. Today I have a minion meeting this morning and not much else in my calendar apart from something I’ve blocked out time for myself.
Grocery shopping tonight which means I need to get my list finished, and I’m being hassled about wishlists for hexmas gifts. Bah!
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. YAWN ‘Tis 57 Amurrkin out and clear with a predicted high of 72 and N.O.S. for the day. TWPTB say we will have our first frost tomorrow night/Thursday mornin’. We shall see. The big item on today’s agenda is laundry. I can hardly contain myself. I dug the really big (15 quart) slow cooker out last night in order to make a batch of chili today. Some will be for sup tomorrow and the rest will get frozen for future chili purposes. Tonight’s sup shall be leftovers from yestiddy. There will, of course, be the usual sloth, general overall uselessness, nappage, and day drinkin’. A full schedule today!
TrueFish glad to here from ya. Hope you get more of a handle on the health stuff soonest. Also hope things get better for CtE and BtY.
Cat_Glove that sounds like quite the week! Glad hubs is doin’ better.
sari glad the move is almost done. Bear in mind that no matter what you do, you will always wish the house had this or that. I know, cause I had da cave built and still wish I had done some things and not done some things. Humans be weird. Hope Echo settles down more now and that Adam gets acclimated to his new digs.
Nettie yay for DH’s gig. Here’s hopin’ it turns into sump’n more permanent.
Now I need more caffeine and to feed rumbly tummy. Then, onward into the day! Rah.
:
Happy Tuesday Y’all! ETA: HAPPY HALLOWE’EN!
