Loving my cup too

Raine how is it going?

Good morning and greetings from Brazil.

Didn't sleep worth a darn on the planes. Will rectify that soon.

Mornin' BBB.

Today is day off. Need it. Yesterday was nonstop.

Love the retro coffee cup, Kelly. Skip kinda reminds me of a Yeti.

Team Billy the Greek is in Cambridge, Maryland for the Open Nationals and if I was there I would sure drop in on you at the VFW, Skipper. Maybe you should go watch today...the last series will be run today. Just hook a right south after crossing the Chespeake Bay Bridge. Tell Billy I said "go get 'em!"

Steph, get some rest and heal up. Hope moving isn't stressing you out. Maybe a beer will help?

Lou! Cão picado por cobra, tem medo de linguiça. Just a random Brazilian saying.

When I see all the bad things going on in the world and cyberspace, I am so thankful we have our little community here that focuses on being positive and uplifting.

BBB OP ;-)

Morning BBB

Yesterday was a long day of a floor reset. A couple finish are going back this morning to finish up. Department Christmas party this afternoon.

Feeling a bunch better. Did t wake with sare throat or a hacki g couch for the first time I'm over a week. Still have the couch but at least didn't wake me.

Good morning BBB Friends.

• Started the morning cooking for the Methodist Men's Breakfast. Truth be told all I did was wash pots and pans.
• Enjoying a cup of coffee in my new Dachshund cup.
• Our frequent flyer (Steph) probably recognizes Biscoff as airplane cookies. In our house they are the preferred Fika treat. https://sweden.se/culture-traditions/fika/
• Dave finished another bowl. Life is good.
• Enjoy your day off Lee.
• Get some sleep Lou.
• It is good to have friends when you are moving.

"...pin drop."

LOL, Mary.

Skip, I hope you have a great time with your dad, and that he tells you how proud he is of you. And NICE mug! I had a Yeti, but I seem to have lost it. It was AWESOME.

And Kelly, I agree with Skip. Life it too short to keep toxic people too close. They can go be toxic elsewhere. Good for you for setting a strong boundary! In the study that I used to do at the rehab house, we got into a really great discussion once about walls vs. boundaries. We decided that walls are erected to protect us, usually at young ages and usually as a result of some sort of trauma or pain. They are based in a place of fear, and breaching them is terrifying. Boundaries, on the other hand, are based in a place of WORTHINESS. They are thoughtfully set, respectful to all parties, and maintained out of self-love. Totally different thing, and very important for maintaining serenity and compassion.

Lou, LOVE the artsy pic of you and Cecelia! I hope you're enjoying Brazil!

Raine, I hope it warms up for you guys ... it was COLD this week in Florida! I saw that HJ got some swim time, so maybe it's a bit better today. Does it feel good to be there?

Did you get some rest, Lee? I hear ya ... I could use a little, too.

David, do we get to see a pic of the maple bowl? You are SO talented!

I hope you enjoyed your party, Steph! Did you get to wear an ugly Christmas sweater? You should have seen all the interesting things people were wearing at Disney ... oh my. Guests were literally in costumes. Christmas costumes.

Dennis, I'm sure they appreciated the help with those dishes! You're a good sport!

Mary, I had a cleaning lady for a while, and it was wonderful. In fact, she happens to be the one who delivered my groceries tonight. And, even more importantly, she is the one who found me on that awful, horrible morning before I got sober when I was going to kill myself. She called dh and stayed with me until he got home, and probably saved my life. We LOVE this woman. She also was one of my WW members at the time. Cleaning ladies are the BEST, and sometimes they do a lot more than just clean.

Sam, I'll bet you're the most FUN babysitter ever!!! And I can't thank you enough for the gifts ... the mugs just make me smile, I can't WAIT to try grits (are there instructions on the box?), I think we'll enjoy the cookies on Christmas, and the oil smells divine! You are amazing!
