    GM~

    T-2 weeks until beach trek! ANXIOUS to get some R&R.
    Busy day today - prepping for what will surely be a rousing HOA meeting tomorrow.
    Have to go to Genius Bar appt for Macbook later this afternoon - something is preventing document syncing. I cannot figure it out.
    VA appt today for routine follow up (virtual). Pretty impressed with their standard of care.
    Wet and soupy here today (again)!

    Cheers,
    Skip

    Mornin' BBB

    Glad you got replacement specs, Mary.
    Rainy here too.
    A client brought their dachshund puppy in the other day. They named it "Tube". He was adorable.
    How's the Shi Tzu situation in Austin?
    Bermuda weather OK? Hope the detour hasn't been too much of an inconvenience.

    BBB OP ;-)

    Good morning.

    We're under two weeks.until our pre-Christmas trip to Fredericksburg where we'll stay in an Airstream for some reason.

    The dog refused to acknowledge me when I tried waking him to go pee this morning. It's cold out and he knows it (first.freeze warning last night). So I'm rolling the dice that he doesn't howl 10 minutes after I leave wanting to go relieve himself.

    We have a little Blink camera that allows two-way talk, so she's going to keep working woth him on leaving a few minutes and building up time as well as see if she can calm.him down talking through the camera. Otherwise, we'll see if the vet has something to offer on Saturday.

    Good morning BBB friends.

    Sassy keeps going to the window and growling. I suspect there are deer out there in the dark. She has to protect her turf.

    When I used to wear expensive glasses full time, the screws were always coming loose, even though I only took them off and on a couple times a day. Now, with cheap readers I take off and put on hundreds of times a day, I never have one loosen. What's up with that?

    Running errands and doing some Christmas shopping today.

    Morning gang

    Ron's foot is still all swelled up and tender. We will stop by the clinic on the way home from spanish classes.

    I also have a cut and color scheduled...it's way past time.

    My Christmas shopping is done. My sister and I gifted dad and Missy tickets to see Mannheim steamroller, dinner and a hotel. I just had to venmo $ and I'm taking one of the bowls I made earlier this year filled with pistachios to the gift exchange we are going to here.

    We used to gift the nieces and nephews stock for birthdays and Christmas but that became a hassle. Now i just give them a lump sum when they turn 21.

    We had over 3.5 inches of rain overnight, as rain quit this morning wind picked up and temps are dropping.
    Finished Christmas for all that we are doing, now hope Amazon delivers timely.
    Pablo will be back in doggie day care tomorrow as we will be in Athens most of day.
    Steph, is Ron taking Baking Soda to keep gout in check?

    Okay, i posted this in the wrong place. Let's try again.

    Good morning BBB friends.
    . We are getting closer to EST. Only an hour ahead now.
    . We'll be in Bermuda in a few hours.
    . No immediate plans for a new dog but the topic is on the table. I would really like another re, short hair dachshund.
    . I've only done it once but I had a really good experience buying prescription glasses at Costco.
