Sorry about the theft, Soapy. It’s a horrible feeling, isn’t it? Hugs…
Yeah, this is one of the reasons we have the MMP. Thank goodness!
Yay for successful surgery, tarra! Hope you can have the second one really soon.
Longish day, but nice evening, including a fairly long walk. Yay!
Now I’m deciding whether to frog part of my handwarmer so that I can re-knit it a bit more neatly (glove-y things can be a pain). I’m leaning toward yes, only because I didn’t do that with my previous set and really should have.
The soup and cornbread were wunnerful! Know what’s weird though? It’s actually gotten warmer this evenin’. That’s kinda spooky. No talk of tornadoish weather but the high tomorrow will be 80 Amurrkin. Then down to a high in the 50s Wednesday. Uber wierd.
I seriously had this semi-dream as I was waking up this week. It was about a plot for a made-up movie concerning a guy in 1970’s Australia called Bruce whom everyone makes gay jokes about due to the python skit. Plus, he has some nameless illness that might kill him at any time. Then, when it gets to be the late 80’s and 90’s and he still isn’t married, his relatives start to set him up with women, but with lousy matches on purpose, because he stands to inherit a lot of money and they want to have it instead if he dies soon.
Then, in the 2000s a series of fortunate events occur: they find the cure for his condition and he is saved, AND it turns out he really is gay and he finds another guy and they get married thus robbing their greedy relatives of the inheritance.
The title of the movie? Don’t Bring Me Down, Bruce.
Dinner was the NOM! I made a pound of boiled peel and eat shrimp, and some salmon patties. I haven’t made salmon patties in years. They were yummy! Along with sliced maters and green onions. Sooo different than turkey!
We’ve got some hairy weather and possible tornadoes headed our way! Finally - some interesting weather. Unfortunately, it’s already caused a lot of damage.
I’m making chocolate chip oatmeal cookies tonight and the house smells delicious. I’m taking them in to work tomorrow and I think I might take in a carton of milk, too. The breakroom refrigerator is full of beer and Coffeemate, so just a small carton of milk.
Soapy, I’m so sorry to hear about the theft. Very scary stuff. And a big sentimental loss too.
This thread is timely because I had a really vivid dream last night. I haven’t been having all that many dreams before this. Last night, I dreamt that a guy was trying to convince me to have an affair. It was so real. I remember his face, his clothes, the room we were in, the color of the bedspread (orange). It was weird to wake up from something that felt so real.
My lower back hurts because of the day of the month. My right shoulder hurts because the Big Hole (an enormous pore which apparently is inherited, as Mom has one in the same spot and so did her dad) needs emptying. The weather still sucks. I’m having a general case of The Grumps.
Sorry to hear about your cramps, Nava. Try putting a hot water bottle on your lower back, and settle down with a cup of chamomile tea. At the very least, you’ll be more relaxed. It works that way for me, at least. (but I’m not gonna have to do this anymore!:D)
As long as we’re talking about weird dreams, I had a vivid dream last night about being a teenager and my mom walking in on me having sex with some guy in my room. All she did was roll her eyes and said something like, “Dammit, Lucky, you could have at least locked your door.” What was weird to me was, she wouldn’t have been so blase if that had happened in real life. Another weird thing is that I knew I was going to get pregnant already, and not just because of a lack of protection. Afterward I saw the face of the baby I was conceiving with that guy, only a year later when it would be 3 months old. That was very strange.
Right now I’m getting everything ready before I have to go to the hospital early Wednesday for my hysterectomy. (Wonder if the dream I had is somehow connected to this.) Tomorrow is my last day of work before I go on medical leave. Groceries are bought, along with most of my Xmas presents, laundry is done, and I just have to pay bills, do some cleaning and pack a bag for the hospital tomorrow night. Wish me luck, y’all! I know I’m going to be fine, just a little nervous, that’s all.
Congratulations on no more cramps, heal fast! No chamomille available, ibuprophen has moved the pain to tolerable levels though. I think I’ll get Littlebro to empty the Big Hole, he’s coming to visit next weekend and has performed that duty before.
You heal fast too, herbs, and that’s an order young lady. Your “I have something in my eye” sounds exactly like how I felt after my own eye surgery, we had to wear super-dark sunglasses (the same pair was used by Littlebro for Lasik, then myself for same, then Grandma for cataracts) and were told that when we felt like we had sand in our eye we were to use salt drops, not scratch, and to be liberal with the drops. “It doesn’t matter if you just put some in five minutes ago, if it’s still bothering you, use them again”.
