felt pooky not porky

All shall be well.💖. I have decided to wrap up Christmas except the tree, with red apples, tree skirt, and jewelry tree. Everything else I will stow away. Husband getting boxes so we can start wrapping up sons Legos. Hopefully we hear from the management company for the new place we want. This is the first time we have ever had to move because of what they want to to. Most of the time it was because we were transferring etc.

I hope your banking issues get sorted!

Rebecca Whidbey Wa

Oh yes still on Whidbey. Its nice being 2 hrs from husbands yearly liver doc, plus all the advantages of the base here. This new place we're eyeballing is maybe 5 miles closer to base and away from our old house here. Fingers crossed. Today we start packing up eldest sons Legos and things for his storage unit.

Barbie – fortunately, there aren’t very many times that Jess and I are in the kitchen together. For the most part, when she’s cooking I just stay out of her way. But T was different. I wanted to help Vince as much as possible, I just didn’t feel I could depend on Jess to help him even tho she said she would (one time she was just playing games on her computer, another time she took a nap)so I wanted to get things done in advance so I didn’t have to spend hours in the kitchen. Well, it’s all working out.

Jess just called to ask Vince if he would go to a concert with C today. Really, I don’t think he wanted to and J didn’t want to, but he is going

Mo – that was so sweet of you to send Pip that dog! What a thoughtful thing to do

Lanette – how scary for T

Allie – every Christmas day my husband has to watch Christmas Story. I like it, but I really don’t care for it 3 times in arow...lol

Rebecca – here are the hippo slippers. I do have to say that they are very warm. Congrats on Onderland

Like Lisa – been cold here, too. Some days a cold rain (like today)

Barney has an irritated area on his upper back and J is trying to get it resolved. She’s gotten him a sweater to keep him from chewing at the site, and somehow (we have no idea how) he got it off and we can’t find it. Then she bought him “pajamas”. This morning I saw that he got the top part off. He really doesn’t like clothing on him, I guess it makes him feel weird.

Speaking of pierogi – I need to get the cheese. We were going to get it tonight after ceramics, but it looks like ceramics isn’t going to happen, that is, unless Jess gets home early and we go

Rita – what kind of facial cream do you use? I use L’Oreal Revitalift. Do you use it all the time, or just in dry weather?

Margaret – it’s weird but ever since Covid, I’ve had this urge to constantly drink water (or tea in winter). I usually have 26oz of water while I’m getting ready for work (along with something to eat)

Lisa – thanks for telling us about Kim. Next time you talk to her, tell her she’s being thought of

Kim – so sorry about your mom

barbie – lately, when I’m walking Ganon, I’ve been listening to Audiobooks. Thanks for the Cat in the Stacks recommendation

I think all of the Christmas decorations are done. When it warms up a bit, I’ll go out and take pics and post them here.

Denise called for T and we got to speak to PJ. Ken & lynette came over for dinner. You know, Lynette just picks at her food. In a way, it kind-of hurts. I cook and she just picks and picks. Oh well…..

Melanie – Jess has to have the rabies vaccine. I remember taking her for the series when she worked for New Bolton Center. Went to her office Sunday, I know she wanted to show it to us. I did think they’d have more animals there, but she said that they couldn’t have animals without a vet there and there hasn’t been one at the place since February.

Katie – good looking bunch

Rebecca – oh no! Wish they’d waited until after Christmas. I would be majorly bummed, too.

Trying to think of a housewarming gift for Ken & Lynette. I’m thinking that maybe a personalized doormat.

Better go take Ganon for a walk

Michele NC

Flea - that curry looks delicious. Are those peanuts I see? Like your oatmeal too. You are giving me all kinds of ideas, thanks.

Mo - thank you for the laugh at the golden dealing with the carolers. My Rosie would have "sung" right along with them, lol.

Barbie - fancy Christmas decoration! So far I'm the winner in the decorating contest on my road with garland wrapped around the mailbox post and a wreath on the garage. Waiting for the other neighbors to show me up. Update - they are busy right now.

Rebecca - what a surprise. Thank goodness you have 90 days to get it sorted. That 55+ house sounds interesting! To your credit you are such a minimalist, other than DS's Legos and favorite items, your packing should be easy as other ladies have mentioned.

Michele - your pierogis sound so good. The folks in the little town where our farm was located were primarily Polish heritage. Every year, the town ladies would come together and have a huge pierogi making "party". I was never invited, they probably didn't want them turning into something Italian like tortellini, lol.

Melanie - WA State requires pets to be vaccinated for rabies every 3 years. When we lived on the farm, the barn cats would often bring dead bats to show us - at the time, I had no idea that bats were the primary rabies carriers. All the barn cats got rabies vaccinations when they were kittens and were neutered, but after that, they were on their own. In 1995 a child in WA State died from rabies = bat bite, and in 1997 a WA man also was diagnosed with bat-caused rabies. No report of his death. Happy Birthday to your little fella, so nice they live close. Reminds me so much of my grandparents who had the farm next door when I was a kid, they were there for everything.

Debbie - hope that tooth gets taken care of quickly, I can imagine the pain. Sounds like a fierce infection.

Heather - sorry to hear about the continuing boiler troubles. Glad you got the bank transfer sorted out.

Anymore, I dread this financial stuff when there are hiccups. Had another incident with my credit union yesterday. Again. This is the 3rd this year. After many years of walking into the branch and interacting with the same employees and having business easily and quickly taken care of, it seems these days, it's mostly staffed with new employees haven't been trained properly. They are either doing things incorrectly or giving the customers (like me) the wrong advice. I need to contact their training division and volunteer to be the old lady that comes in with situations for the newbies to handle. 😁 By the end of the day yesterday, the manager I was continually interacting with via email probably resigned and applied for a job at Panda Express, lol. I was kind and professional, but direct. Welcome to the world of management and having to put out fires caused by other departments. I felt sorry for her.

Collette was here this morning, and I told Rosie let's try hard to keep the place looking nice for a few days.

SW WA State

Rebecca- so sorry to hear about you having to move- It isn't bad when you are the ones wanting to move and you can choose when- Moving during the winter is the worst time they could pick.
Hope you can find the perfect spot for you.
