The receptionist’s birthday was yesterday. She took the day off so she wouldn’t have to endure birthday attention. So she got a party today. 😛 I tried to avoid carbohydrates, but I had to have a cheese-and-green onion enchilada. I also had three chicken wings, one coated nugget of chicken, three slices of fried SPAM, and two pieces of celery. I’m still working on a 24-ounce, no-carb Rockstar. [asterisk]oof[/asterisk] I’m stuffed. ---

> [@SCAdian](#): > > _oof_ > > Is that what you meant to say, **Flyboy**? Yes, but the new board won’t let me do that. If I use asterisks, it makes the text italic. Like this: _oof_ So I have to use [asterisk]text[/asterisk] instead. It doesn’t put asterisks in, but it _says_ what I want to do. ETA: It didn’t even keep them in the quote. ---

Today is one of the few days I’m glad I don’t own a car. Everyone is scraping windshields and skidding into parking spaces, and I’m here sipping tea and thinking, “Huh. Look at that.” Oh, who am I kidding? I miss my dear little car. I cleaned out my pantry. Actually, no cleaning was involved. I just needed to see what was in there. It’s a deeeeep, dark cupboard. I have to use a flashlight to find things. I discovered I had three (3) tins of cocoa. See? It’s so dark I can’t see I have cocoa in there, so I buy more. You’re welcome, Ghana. Since COVID, I haven’t been able to feed anyone but me, so I find supply greatly exceeds demand. Speaking of which…[eyes liquor cart] Nah. Not feelin’ it. Maybe later. A little liqueur and a hot bath cure many ills. ---

> [@nelliebly](#): > > A little liqueur and a hot bath cure many ills. So does hot cocoa, homemade and shared with friends…sigh. Wish I was close enough (and vaccinated) so I could help you whittle down your stock of cocoa. Brownies are really good for that too. ---

Or glog of rum. At the moment I have bottom shelf brandy in stock. Waiting for the right rum to be on sale. Hot cocoa out on the west coast is sounding better by the minute. ---

Pre-surgery checkup is done and as expected, I’m medically cleared. The countdown to sigmoidectomy continues! ---

> [@gotpasswords](#): > > The countdown to sigmoidectomy continues! I hope you weren’t planning on using that again… 😃 **Taters** , it’s very difficult, but I will continue to refrain from making my usual recommendation of trephination. **Boo** , from what the NWS is saying you’re really going to want that enhanced hot cocoa over the weekend! Even I don’t want that kind of weather. Very simple supper tonight – Lady SCAdian made rice, and I added pasta sauce and sprinkle cheese. ---

Howdy Y’all! 🎵 🎵 🎵_It’s a rainy night in Jawga!_ 🎵 🎵 🎵 We have been sloths of the highest order today. I foresee the same for tomorrow as it’s supposed to be rainy and dreary all day. Might need some of that spiced hot cocoa tomorrow. ---

Even I don’t want that kind of weather It is going to be very, very nasty for me and mine for the next few days. Double digit negative wind chills and winter storm advisories involving snow, dammit. I may just need to call you folks and have a hot cocoa (enhancements of your choice) zoom party just to keep my sanity. Never mind, the sanity thing is a lost cause. But let’s still do virtual cocoa. And **swampy**. I don’t want to hear about any of your d\*\*n 74 degree rain. Keep that to yourself. ---
