Final with a bit of white highlights. Yes, that’s Monkey obligingly holding it upright (channeling his inner Vanna Black White) and yes, that’s the container from a Brie cheese wheel.
I eat that stuff like it’s going out of style, and have found the containers to make excellent coasters, ashtrays, etc.
Now with decorations!
Evening all. Walking and pedaling at the gym has been done, so irradiating a Stouffer’s Mac-n-Cheese for dinner, have already had some ice cream and an apple to assuage my stomach. Hopefully a quiet night, I will do mowage sometime late tomorrow morning and hope it’s the last one of the season. Still about 53F outside, but will get below 40F tonight so probably a good thing I got the heavyweight bed comforter out yesterday. Car is now bare of soccer stuff until the spring, probably should take it for a wash and a good vacuuming tomorrow, but we’ll see.
And 21 messages to read in the past 5 hours. Best be about it.
Bright Tree, used to stay at their old place, lots of space in a house with three kids in it, but since they retired and moved to a smaller house, there isn’t any room except at the inn. And glad the news from Family in Arizona is positive.
Mollie, that’s a bit of a gut punch right at the start of the Holidays. All the best to Mrs Magill and I’m sure with her resume she’ll find a new position quickly (or the old one will be begging for her back). And I see from your later postings that she probably won’t remain unemployed for long.
Cookie, I completely forgot tomorrow is a holiday (Veteran’s Day). Will have to check the TV listings to see if anyone is playing my personal favorite WWII movie (Battleground from 1949).
Thanks for the pic, shoe. Trees should start changing around here soon, we’re due for a cold snap starting Thursday. And dive in! As Robert A. Heinlein said:
Cat Glove, glad the procedure went so well for you. As for my foot, the corn is gone but it still gets rather red and a little sore when I do my treadmill thing, so I’m still using the tube of stuff she sent me home with and monitoring it closely. Enjoy the game!
Swampy, IIRC you need 2 jabs for the Shingles vaccine to work, so you have another one to get down the line (and JtC beat me too it).
JtC, would love to see you in your Ball Gown.
And dinner is digesting, carrots have been gnawed upon, and You Tubes are queued up and ready to watch, so a good evening to all.
I live in the land of good (and cheap!) tortillas unless you go for whole wheat. Therefore, I buy a very small package of those and more corn tortillas. I feel your pain with the slow progress of medical issues.
Nah, she just took a side quest to Houston.
I’m sorry about MrsMagill’s job, mollie.
Try something that isn’t knit. Nelson doesn’t like anything that has to go on over his head, but something with velcro fasteners work great.
Pretty!
I wasn’t kidding about the FUBAR Fairy. Now Doc is saying maybe five more weeks of this crap. I flat out told him that it WOULD be out by Christmas, if I had to take it out myself. At this point, I feel like that I’m being d!@ked around, even if I’m not.
Then, on the way home, I was within blocks of my apartment, when, in the dark and rain, I ran up a narrow median and got stuck. It cost $232 to get unstuck, but the tow truck driver said that it likely didn’t do any undercarriage damage. Still, I’ll take it to the shop for a look see tomorrow. I hate driving in the dark and rain. The officer that responded didn’t even make a report, so I shouldn’t have any insurance issues.
Yikes, wonky line linework, but I couldn’t resist trying a monochrome contrast.
I’ll bring it to work tomorrow, see if someone needs a stash box.
I just saw all this. I can’t imagine how frustrating all this piled up must feel … the F’ing Fairy needs to fly far away from you!
You did all that freehand, didn’t you? Amazing. And super cute.
Thanks but you didn’t need to demonstrate how much worse it could be. That seriously sucks and I’m sorry it is going so slow. I just feel like I have a muscle cramp, that’s nothing and now I’m feeling pretty whiny.
Dang about running over a curb, I agree that driving in the dark and rain isn’t fun.
So we forgot about Harry. He’s been so distracted over the chestnuts that we didn’t think he was even paying attention to GDIL wanting some cruelty free chicks. Plus now that the Mrs is gone, he has allowed his inner grumpy old man to come out.
He complained about the chickens but decided that the prefab coop GDIL bought wasn’t good enough and spent a week building the Taj Mahal of chicken coops.
He also knows some folks up north that breed and sell fancy chickens, the roosters are also valued in that community so don’t get culled. If the broody chicken is still alive in the spring, he’s planning on bringing her three fertilized eggs.
I’m getting ready to call it a night, my eyes are getting tired. This really tells me that I need to start turning on more light because it gets pretty dark at night.
Up from naptime. Having a Greenpoint, and chicken, mushrooms, asparagus and rice with mushroom cream sauce for dinner.
{{{{Mrs. Maus}}}
I don’t think I could 
you more.
As a member of the ABCD club, I also hope so.
Cool art, and cool reuse of the Brie container and S.E.G.
Crap. I’m sorry, even if the car is good.
100% except for a couple of circular random objects as stencils for the initial monochrome.
Doodle, puff, doodle, puff, color, puff. Lil’ drink. Color. Go pee. Puff. Dafuq was I doing? Oh, yeah .. well, that gave the ink ample time to dry. Color. Go pee again. Puff. Dafuq was I … oh, yeah! Oooh, pretty!
Jeebus the monochrome really needs cleanup, tho.
.. the what now?
Small Egyptian God
After 10pm, my brain is moving toward shutdown mode, but will still get a last late-night final out. Have done nothing of consequence since my last reporting except watch You Tubes and play Spider solitaire, so nothing worth reporting.
red , hope you get your medical Xmas present without any problems. And sorry to hear of the car issue, hopefully nothing got damaged.
shoe, that’s quite a nice bit of doodling there.
JtC, glad to hear Harry is re-engaging with life.
And brain has just noted it has gone to emergency auxilary power and I’d better start getting myself to Slumberland. Catch y’all tomorrow.
Needle for hand sewing or for machine sewing?
Yup, they’re both right. Second dose 2 to 6 months after the first.
… SHINGRIX is administered intramuscularly as a 2-dose series1
I didn’t find the second worse than the first so here’s hoping the same for you. I learned to get the shots in the arm on the side I didn’t need to fall asleep on and to take Tylenol as I left the house to go get the shot. Because of my birth year I was one of the lucky ones who got to get the two shot versions of both the earlier version (Zostavax) and then the 2 Shingrix.
And @Kitten_Mitten, those threaders JtC offered are the best in my opinion. Oldie but a goodie. You can pay a lot more for a fancy one but it’s less likely to work well or last as long as those.
To bed with me, have pulled the lidocane patch off my back so’s it don’t come off and Ms Peach chomps it during the night.
Do you need shingles vaccine if you had chix pox as a youngster?
Yes. For those of us who didn’t get CP as a kid, we just get that vaccine.
Absolutely yes.
Up, caffeinated, and sheveled. Off to heave. It’s currently 46 degrees Ferret Height(7.778 Centipedes)
Morning, mumpers! It’s currently 7c/44f with no predicted change and cloudy. Weather app says “True story. Mammatus clouds fucking look like boobs.”
Mollie much as you will miss the opportunity to see and hear the band stuff in Orlando, Mrs Magill is wise, and you don’t need that kind of pettiness going on when everyone’s there to have a good time. Big hugs to Mrs Magill and to you, I hope she finds something new and far more rewarding (should she decide to look). Rotters, all of 'em!
Cat_Glove I hope everything went well for you!
JtC a friend of mine spent a lot of time and effort building a fabulous chicken coop, he calls is Cluckingham Palace.
Yesterday was indeed a busy day, and I had a weird intestinal pain on and off all day. Can’t say what that was all about, but it persisted. I was in two minds about going to the gym but decided to go anyway. I’m feeling better today but still just a bit “off”. Anyway, am on campus and about to head into my first meeting of the day.
I may go out with my friends tonight, and I might not, depends how I feel later. Onwards!
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. YAWN ‘Tis 47 Amurrkin out and cloudy with a predicted high of 72 and cloudy with a slight chance of rain early afternoon. We shall see. Provisions will be procured this mornin’. We shall partake of sup over to the church house this evenin’. We’ll take separate vehicles. Both of us will attend Evening Prayer before sup, but other Verger and I are doin’ an acolyte trainin’ after we eat, so OYKW will head back to da cave. Don’t blame hime for not wantin’ to hang around for that. There will, of course, be the usual RDOS sloth. We must keep up our cred!
JtC yeah I know I need a second stab for shingles. This will be done in March 2027 exactly four months from yestiddy when I go back to get vampired and such. Love the Taj Mahal of chikins description! Good for Harry for comin’ through.
shoe that’s real purty!
red so sorry you had such a rough day!
BooFae glad you feel better today. Cluckingham Palace is givin’ me serious giggles! Brilliant!
Back when I was still working on my post-retirement “career”, two of my gigs required that I drive a good bit of my commute down an unlit country road. I hated rainy mornings (a good part of the year, I drove to work in the dark.) Unless there was a driver ahead of me, I crept along with my eyes firmly on the centerline and/or the line on the right, and when there was an oncoming car, its headlights would reflect off the wet road and make it very difficult to see either line. Lots of white-knuckle commutes, I tells ya. The second retirement was most welcome.
I started my day in the shower for a change. As soon as I post this, I’ll head to Food Lion, hoping to avoid the off-from-work crowds. Only 42 Ferrets out there, and a peek at the rest of the week shows a chance of getting below freezing. So when I get home, I’ll be bringing the houseplants back in the house. That’s all my plans so far.
And so it begins. Happy Wednesday!! And Happy Veterans Day to my fellow vets!
Happy Veterans Day to all who served! Thank you for your service! 
Are you sure? My understanding is that it’s a 2 shot process; the second one 3 months after the 1st. Did they even give you a lollipop for the pain? Oops, ninja’d by JtC, metal mouse and our expert night nurse. Still wondering about the lolli. 
yes, but that gives you the opportunity to escape from the couch and the infernal watching of the boob tube. Also, my suggestion is that if they don’t want to go on a drive or on a walk or an adventure, that you just go do it yourself.
Thank you so much! I definitely did. The Spartans led from the first bucket to the final tick of the clock. MSU 79 - Duke 73.
This time it was our PreSeason All American senior Point Guard leading the way!! I have to say it was more enjoyable to play them because we didn’t have to see the sneering face of K. And our defense was close to stellar. But might I ask what ABCD stands for? I’ve come up with Always Beat C??? Duke.
hand sewing. I have a number of garments that need repair. My eyesight isn’t what it used to be.
swampy some time ago when Daughter had preached the homily, you asked if she was in some program, IMS. Well she’s been in discernment for the past year and yesterday the Discernment Committee gave her the good news that they agree she has a calling and recommended she study for the priesthood.
