Good morning BBB! As you sip your favorite morning brew and let its warmth embrace you, settle in, for it's time to gather and unite for our morning roll-call!

    Hard to believe its December! Oye!

    11 hours at hospital with me Dad yesterday for a one hour surgery - good grief. I now know why parents video their kids after wisdom teeth extraction. DF had only a "sedative" to take the edge off before being wheeled from pre-op to OR and was babbling like a baby. Finally got him home at 9p! Ugh.

    Off to have coffee with a childhood friend I grew up with who now lives here in Southern Maine.

    Dennis - sending T&Ps for your brother.

    DMIL being treated still for blood clots in her lungs now. Ugh. DW is frazzled.

    I miss my doggo!

    TGIF, BBB!

    Its December! Already!

    Hoping to deck the halls, get the tree inside and start decorating today. Dh's holiday work dinner party tonight and he's off today . I'm the designated driver.

    Sam, did I miss a photo of your pup Pablo? What breed is he? Would love to see a photo of him.

    Hope those ailing are feeling better!

    Have an outstanding day BBB!

    Good morning.

    Dave - even if the beer had alcohol, I'd still rather have my wife here.

    I lost an hour of sleep last night when I woke up at 3 to pee and the brain started working. Mr. Sandman finally checked back on me sometime after 4.

    Cecilia's heading to her mom's house today after a couple days by herself to unwind. Her mom is in rough shape. Not eating, depressed, etc. I've seen this movie before, unfortunately. The siblings are considering sending her back to Rio which would likely include hospitalization. I guess what I'm saying is, please lob a prayer in her direction, because this awful year isn't over yet.

    Ugh, Lou! Sorry to hear this update. Sending T&Ps for DMIL and Celia too!

    This sure has been a *KITTEN* year for many in our small eclectic family!

    Good morning BBB friends.

    Your family has gone through some tough times, Lou. Consider my prayers lobbed.

    Rita should get home around 9:30 (PST) tonight. Can't wait. By then the PAC-12 championship should be over, too. Rita tolerates my football viewing, at best. Go Ducks.

    Morning BBB

    Rough year indeed for BBB. Prayers sent to all.

    Cold snap is over in Florida...might even wear shorts today for our walk. We are heading up to the nearest intersection with shops to get batteries, a calendar journal and a few other odds and ends. Since we borrow our friends dad's car (and pay $50/day) we try not to drive unnecessarily and since we go for walks every day anyway it just makes sence to combine walk with shopping. It will probably be 7.5 miles round-trip.

    Did i mention we bought an Xbox. It has been so good for Ron's overall well being. He is up and down off the couch, using his dexterity and it takes his mind off his trouble. We have been mostly playing co-op or puzzle games. So glad we did that.
