Howdy all y'all. It's terrific Tuesday!
We have -2 (Celsius) clear degrees with an expected mostly sunny high of 12 and 2% chance of precipitation.
I managed a full day yesterday. Jason is at our office in Murrell's Inlet, SC for the week. He traveled yesterday, with the assembled unit I have been testing. I helped load it into his car only to the extent of keeping the cart from rolling down the driveway while he lifted the device.
He'll be demonstrating the device there, and our sales manager and vice president of operations will be taking it to a trade show to demo, next week I think.
I wouldn't have minded having it here for a bit more testing, but this project has been hot for a while and the trade show defined deadlines for it.
Now I'm having to re-boot my brain to work on some of the other stuff that had been somewhat on hold.
I managed to do everything without Jason here, though there is still some pain and swelling. Some of it was done rather slowly, but it was done. LOL. Nothing extraordinary, painwise, and it has after all only been a week (this afternoon) since the surgery, and the expected minimum time to all that going away is at least a month.
We have a co-worker who lives fairly nearby, and I can call on him if something comes up that I can't manage. I don't think I will need to. And Jason will be back Friday evening.
Ice packs several times a day, along with a little ibuprofen and I'll keep sailing along.

good morning
Sorry you have to be alone for a few days, Ed. It's tough when you're not feeling well. Good to take things slow and easy. I hope the ice packs help.
We got our new dishwasher yesterday, and surprise!, they installed it when they brought it. Yay!
I cleaned the bathrooms and did some laundry, yesterday. Found and set up my holiday card holder, and am reading an easy book.
We have a craft session at the preschool with our grandchildren this a.m., and then I will go to my Clay Crafters group in the afternoon. Busy day.
It's currently 28F, -2C. Sunny. High 47F, 8C. Winds SSW at 5 to 10 mph.
Wishing all a fun Tuesday. 🌞🧤🕎🎄🍷

Howdy all y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday!
We have -1 (Celsius) clear degrees with an expected partly cloudy high of 15 and 3% chance of precipitation.
I actually slept through last night without getting up even once. That was nice. I did wake up 10 minutes before the alarm but that close does not count! I spent a few minutes cuddling the cats before getting out of bed.
The big demo at the home office is today, for staff and one VIP guest. And then the unit will be presumably ready to travel to the trade show. I don't know if today's demo will be livestreamed for us remote workers or not, but that's not terribly important to me because we had the unit right here in my office space for development and testing so I've seen it in action. There are a few new bells and whistles already, but if I don't see them, I can run them shortly in emulation.
Dinner last night was frozen pizza with turkey sausage. Lunch today will be the same.
It's nearly time to put the ice pack I'm currently using away, to refreeze for later use.

Good morning;
Currently 41F and sunny.
Ed-Thats good that you slept through the night. I unfortunately did not. Sophie was being a cry baby off and on all night. I don't know what her problem was because she had water and plenty of dry and wet food.
Hi Irene and Vix.
I worked this morning and now I am getting ready to do a little housework.
Enjoy your day! 0 -
Hi,
Good that you slept through the night, Ed. Good that you're feeling better.
Jo, I hope Sophie's ok. I hope you sleep better tonight.
Hi Irene.
I haven't been sleeping well either, up in the middle of the night. I had a massage this morning which was really nice.
We ran our new dishwasher last night, nice and quiet, dishes all sparkly clean.
It's currently 43F,6C. Abundant sunshine. High around 45F, 7C. Winds WNW at 10 to 20 mph.
Need to exercise and catch up with some things around the house.
Wishing all a happy 🐫 day! 🌞🕎🎄🧤🍷

Howdy all y'all. It's thrilling Thursday!
We have 5 (Celsius) clear degrees (feels like 4) with an expected sunny high of 14 and 1% chance of precipitation.
I did not sleep through last night, but that's really not unusual as I do sometimes have to get up for the bathroom in the middle of the night anyway, depending on how much fluid I drank, how late I drank it, how high my glucose was at bedtime, etc.
Yesterday's demo went really well, from what was posted in the Teams chat.
And, based on deposits to my bank this morning, we have received a Christmas bonus check!
This morning I worked on building up stamina, by making sausage gravy and biscuits for my breakfast. Can't really sit down while making gravy! So there was a bit of extended standing involved, though not too long.
I enjoyed this breakfast immensely and now I'm sitting at my desk sipping tea.
Not sure what's on the work agenda for today so will see in a while.

Ed, glad the demo went well. Congrats on the Christmas bonus. Yay! Glad you're feeling a bit better everyday.
Hi Jo and Irene.
My massage was wonderful yesterday, but wears off pretty quickly. I made applesauce yesterday. Simple, but tastes so much better than the kind in jars.
Going to see our son and family this morning (and babysit a little while), and our daughter and family this evening. Joyful day. 🥰💗
It's currently 26F, -3C. Sunny. High near 45F, 7C. Winds W at 5 to 10 mph.
Wishing all a wonderful Thursday and Happy Last Night of Chanukah! 🌞🕎🎄🧤🍷0 -
good afternoon,
been busy finishing Christmas shopping and wrapping gifts glad I am done0 -
Good afternoon,
Ed-congratulations on your Christmas bonus and your demo going well.
Irene-good that you are all done with shopping and wrapping.
Vix-applesauce, yummy! I think everything homemade tastes so much better than store bought. Have fun with the grandchildren.
Nothing new going on here.
Have a good evening!

Howdy all y'all. It's fabulous Friday!
We have 0 (Celsius) clear degrees with an expected sunny high of 14 and 1% chance of precipitation.
Hoping for a slow work day, but it will be what it will be. I have things to test and one running process I'm watching in the background.

Good morning;
Currently 35F with a high of 53F.
Grocery shopping and laundry are on the agenda for today. Later today we will be burning all the twigs that have fallen off
the trees with the last winds we got.
I also have to get gas for my car and make a trip to the library and Petco.
Enjoy your day! 0 -
good morning
Irene, so nice that you finished up your holiday shopping and wrapping!
Jo, hope you are getting some time to relax. It's always wonderful spending time with family. I brought everyone some applesauce! It's one of my holiday things.
Steve made latkes, excellent for the first time. He's such a good guy. Will and Lilly lit the candles (with a little help from Mom).
Maddie is getting bigger, about 7 lbs, 11 oz now. Yesterday was her due date, and she'll be 4 weeks old on Saturday. She's such a sweet baby. It was wonderful spending time with them.
My housecleaner is here this morning, and I need to go to the library today. May make some soup later. That's about it for me.
It's currently 49F,9C. Plentiful sunshine. High 54F, 12C. Winds W at 5 to 10 mph. A bit warmer today and pleasant.
Wishing all an easy Friday. Almost weekend! 🌞🕎🎄🥳🍷0 -
Friday afternoon update.
Well, I actually got out for some minimal grocery shopping today, taking a slightly long lunch break. Nothing very heavy, and not a lot of groceries, just to Kroger. That counts as today's walking exercise for sure.
It wasn't as bad as I had feared (my first time driving since the surgery last week) but it was a bit awkward and tiring. I feel good about it anyway.
I bought my annual end of year holiday season box of chocolate covered cherries and rewarded myself with one after I got the groceries put away.
I think I have finished my gift shopping as well. My surgery will be my gift to myself this year. It cost more than I usually spend on myself. LOL.

Hi all
just got done making cholate chip cookies for George he loves them and I don't make them very often too much temptation .
We are going up to Pa on Sunday and staying over night we will visit family we are both from the area so it will be nice to see everyone.
take care0 -
Good morning;
The temp. is currently 35F with a high of 49F.
Ed-Glad you are up to doing a little more each day. My hubby loves chocolate covered cherries.
Irene-Enjoy your visit with your family. It was so sweet of you to make George's favorite cookies, despite the temptation.
Vix-how time flies. It doesn't seem like it has been that long since Maddie was born. I bet everyone loved your applesauce.
Who doesn't love homemade gifts, made with love.
Today I am going to the last of the Christmas markets of the season. I really don't need to buy anything. I just like to look
and see all the homemade products and maybe get some ideas.
Have a great day! 0 -
good morning
Ed, glad you're starting to get out and about. My sister loved chocolate covered cherries for the holidays.
Irene, so sweet of you to make chocolate chip cookies for George. Glad you are getting up to see your family this weekend. That's always nice.
Jo, have fun at the Christmas market. I love walking around and getting ideas too!
It's currently 36F, 2C. Sunshine and a few clouds. High 56F, 13C. Winds light and variable.
I have a bit of a cold, so I'm thinking I'll probably just hang around the house today. I made hot and sour soup yesterday, which should help.
Wishing all a happy Weekend! 🌞🕯️🎄📫🍪🍷0 -
Howdy all y'all. It's satisfying Saturday!
We have 8 (Celsius) cloudy degrees (feels like 7) with an expected cloudy high of 12 and 24% chance of precipitation.
I may get out to a different grocery today for more walking therapy. The only holiday goodies I have at all are the small box of chocolate covered cherries. There are some cookies at Aldi that are great for Christmas, and I could use more frozen, heat and eat, meals for a while yet.
Jason got home about 5:45 last night and we went to Culver's for dinner. That was nice.

Good afternoon;
Vix-I am glad you are feeling better.
Hi Ed and Irene
Yesterday afternoon my daughter came over and we made spritz cookies and Pizzelle's. This morning I made S'more cups,
peanut butter balls and almond joys. Tomorrow I will make Lemon whippersnapper cookies and then package everything all up to
give as gifts. I will save a little for us.
Enjoy your day!

Good morning
Currently 60F. It is raining hard and very windy. I have tree branches all over my yard.
This morning I packaged up all my treats and I still have 2 more batches of lemon cookies to bake and package.
Over the next 3 days I will be distributing them.
Ed-I hope your work day is smooth and enjoyable.
Hi Vix and Irene.
Have a pleasant day!

Oops, my post from this morning didn't post! I'll try again.
Ed, good that you're getting out a bit.
Irene, I hope you're enjoying your visit with family.
Jo, your treats sound fabulous! Lucky, those who are getting them as gifts!
It rained/poured all day yesterday into the night. It's still very cloudy out, but the sun is trying to peak though and we have a wind advisory. I can hear it whipping around outside.
I stayed home yesterday, got some things done around the house and rested up.
It's windy. Mostly cloudy skies will become partly cloudy this afternoon. High 48F,9C. Winds W at 20 to 30 mph. Winds could occasionally gust over 40 mph.
I'm still trying to knock out this cold, so haven't planned anything for today.
Wishing all a bright shiny new week ! 🌟🌬️🕯️🎄🍷0 -
Howdy all y'all. It's terrific Tuesday!
We have -3 (Celsius) clear degrees (feels like -6) with an expected mostly sunny high of 8 and 1% chance of precipitation.
Work-wise, continuing to look at the software (in a virtual machine emulator) for the device that went off for trade shows, and determining whether we need to change my work computer from Windows Business to Windows Pro. I'm sure we had requested Pro back when we ordered it, but our engineering team seems to set up machines for business and/or support work rather than development and testing and I think they may have to change our licenses. I and one of the programmers have the same issues with system performance and both of us were given the wrong versions.
I guess you could say they really gave us the Business...? LOL!
There really shouldn't be this much difference in performance though, so there may be something else causing the issues.
I expect we'll get some resolution before the new year.

good morning
Ed, if the users have the business version, you may need to test on both if they're going to use it.
We used to keep a variety of machines and versions in my old testing lab. Sounds like they're keeping you busy!
Hi Irene.
Jo, I guess you'll be out delivering today, nice.
It's currently 34F, 1C. Sun and clouds mixed. High near 40F,4C. Winds NW at 15 to 25 mph. Higher wind gusts possible. Chillier than it's been.
It's craft day. My cold isn't completely gone, but I think I'll put on a mask, and go to class a little later. I haven't been out since Thursday. (except a quick stop at the library Friday)
Wishing all a fine Tuesday. 🌤️🧤🕯️🎄0 -
Good afternoon;
Currently 47F and the rain has stopped. After work today I spent about an hour picking up branches and twigs from the yard.
I still have more to pick up.
My daughter is still without power and stopped by this morning to store some food in our refrigerator and freezer.
Vix-I hope your cold is gone soon.
Ed-good luck with your testing.
Hi Irene-I hope you are having a nice visit with family.
Have a great day! 0 -
Howdy all y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday!
We have -3 (Celsius) sunny degrees with an expected partly sunny high of 11 and 1% chance of precipitation.

I need to make a grocery run soon.

Irene, enjoy your holiday time.
It's currently 23F,-5C. Plentiful sunshine. High around 45F,7C. Winds WNW at 5 to 10 mph.
