That's wonderful that p/t is being so helpful!

DH has started griping that I'm not doing the heavy duty decorating I used to do. This body just isn't up to it. I hope the surgery goes okay! I sure wouldn't want DH's sister descending (even though she's a nurse).

I took Christmas down today. That's always a little sad but at least I can check one thing off my list. We got snow AGAIN last night. I've had enough already.
-
Helene - wow! I'm glad you were able to get treated but so very sorry you had to go through all that. I just ordered hiking poles. One of the places we feed is at the back of a VERY long yard (with owner's permission). I really didn't feel comfortable yesterday slogging through the snow.

It's been snowing here all day so DH is outside with his snow blowers (yes, plural) while I'm inside trying to do my work. The guy next door who is younger and retired and seemingly pretty well off (enough money to hire a service) actually asked my 76 year old husband to clean out his snow. Of course I see where he got the…

What a great thing to do - and how VERY delicious that sounds!

Happy New Year! Aortic dissection is what took both my mom and my sister. I'm so sorry! Hard to believe my mom's been gone 25 years and my sister almost 5. One of our cousins had the surgery. I continue to beat on my brothers to see a cardiologist as we obviously have a family history (and it's obviously on our mother's…

What a relief! They shouldn't do such vague messages.

Pam - that cake is absolutely scrumptious looking!

I'm SO glad it wasn't bad news!

Happy holidays to everyone!

I got all your extra Christmas chores. It seemed to be never ending this year! Lucky recipients of your baking. I hope all your doctor appointments go well!

Best of luck with the hand therapy. I had a great hand therapist but that entire facility has been shut down (University of Maryland bought Kernan Hospital and then proceeded to close it).
-
I just had a conference call and got to hear all about their "too busy at year end woes". It was all I could do not to just say "join the club, sisters". LOL! I think I'm 98% through my personal and CROM Christmas lists, thank goodness. DH's presents are bought and wrapped. Stockings are hung. I'm not doing much else.…

Sorry about the crummy motel! Most of the trip sounds great except for that scary instance! There's a Ramada near us that is just in terrible shape. I think they are housing homeless people. I often wonder what a business traveler who accidentally wanders in there would think. What's sad is I see a school bus stop there to…

No, we've done quite a few. They are slowly dying off though.

We set up a cat show booth this weekend. We waited AN HOUR for them to get out tables for this. You'd think the set up folks weren't getting paid to do it.
-
Pam - that sounds like a great way to spend the day. I'm sort of regretting buying turkey parts instead of a turkey. Only because I know how to cook a turkey and I found conflicting instructions on cooking parts online. At least I do have a meat thermometer.
-
I hope each of you have a great Thanksgiving! Because I'm veering from my usual, I find I'm fretting over "what have I forgotten?". I almost forgot DH's cranberry.
-
I was just wading through a long article of the ins and outs and all the complications. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-mass-deportation-undocumented-immigrants_n_6740ec94e4b078cce4af32e4 Can you imagine the cost and confusion and children torn from their parents and the social upheaval? I just opened my last pandemic…
-
Yeah, it's a sad commentary all right! I was at the post office Tuesday and there was this LONG line at what I now know to be the passport window. Never saw that before.
-
Helene - I'm sorry about our BIL and hope your eyes heal quickly! I'm past distraught about the election. And totally disgusted by the actions we're seeing so far. Robert Kennedy? Matt Gaetz? Mass deportations? I just don't want to listen to any more news. Even DH has started to turn on the music oldies channel during…

LOVE!!!

My baby brother's wife is of (fairly recent) Ukrainian heritage. Her family was already worried for their relatives and now they're terrified. A good friend has a family member who is gay and one who is trans. They are trying to figure out if they can emigrate before inauguration day. An acquaintance, who is extremely…

I'm really really down today. I have NO clue what people are thinking. It boggles my mind how many people in bad economic circumstances seem to have voted for this creep who obviously doesn't care one fig about them and will do everything he can to enrich himself, whether it hurts them or not.
-
She hasn't gotten that specific. I think she's just scared like we all are around here. And we certainly are in better shape than some places. Lots of their policies scare me but the one thing that absolutely infuriates me is how they talk about women. Childless cat lady my *kitten*......

We voted a month ago. Easy peasy. It should be this easy to vote everywhere. Reading about folks who walk hours to vote sounds like Little House on the Prairie or something. I'm trying to work today but having trouble concentrating.
-
I'm having trouble buckling down and concentrating. I just got an email from my best friend from law school. The subject line is "I'm scared". Me, too.. Me, too! I talk to people every day who are just going about their day. But I'm terrified of what's going to happen to all of us and this whole country. My friend is…

That's great! If I end up having to have that I'll know it's not so terrible.

Great news! I hope you do make a full recovery.
