    Up way too early. Can’t sleep.

    Day off was filled with HOA and regular work drama. Ugh.

    Bring on the weekend.

    Hope recovery continues in Indiana.

    Good morning

    65,000 without power here with wind storm. We are not one of them. This could've been way worse with a twister touch down. Some angry weather for sure.

    I'm heading to hospital for 4th infusion with a Moderna booster to follow later this afternoon. I will work remotely from there today.

    Big push to empty and sell off what office furniture I can for mid Jan. Complete shutdown. We will spend the weekend tweeking my home office for now. Then finish its set up after 12/25.

    Finished shopping online and at sporting goods store last night. Got ds2 a new fishing pole and some lures. He wanted short ultralight spinner pole.

    Seems we can't get all our kids over same day, so we'll will host his Christmas eve. And mine Christmas day.

    These charcuterie boards are all the rage, so we'll do that for starters.

    Seems like December is going fast, let's hope the balance of the winter does as well.

    Have a nice day BBB
    Be safe out there!

    Good morning BBB crew.

    Just saw a long-range projection for weather over the next three months. They forecast warmer to much warmer weather for most of the country ... except the Pacific Northwest, where the prediction if for colder than normal weather. It's another La Nina winter, the second in a row.

    Chipping away at Christmas purchases. We need another present for DGD, to balance those we already have for her brother. We don't buy anything online that we can buy locally.

    Morning BBB

    My shopping is done. I venmo'ed money to sister for a new porch swing for dad. That's the only gift we do. We buy mutual funds for the kids but usually in Feb.

    Crazy winds and tornados in Nebraska too. My Facebook feed was full of pictures.

    Have a great weekend all.

    Good morning BBB Friends.
    • Up very early to make breakfast for the Methodist Men. Breakfast and the speaker worked out well.
    • The meal was not WW friendly. Actually, most of my meals lately have not been WW friendly and the scale is being very mean to me. I guess I need to get serious again after the first of the year.

    Morning,
    charcuterie boards? what's the difference from a snack tray on counter?
    Have not been in a store, but all purchases complete; well may get DW a card to new car wash in town where she can go through as much as she wants for a year, special right now $199 for year can take car through every day if wants to.

    Sam - thats a great gift! Mine charges $69 a month (unlimited interior/exterior). They do a pretty decent job - and I generally go several times a week. I can't drive a dirty car.

    OK, Lee, you really did make me laugh out loud. The Easy Cheese is a nice touch.

    I'm curious what the heck happened to the YOLKS in the hard boiled eggs? Bueller?

    Afraid to ask what the "pink" spread is.....

    Made me laugh though!

    Pink stuff? Potted meat? DM use to give us potted meat sandwiches, have not had one since I knew what was in it.

    Looks like what my dad eats most of the time (before girlfriend…he is trying harder now). Except he would eat right out of the package for no dishes.
