thermostat wars are real. I basically live in a hot house, visitors will actually strip down —not kidding. My DH has very poor circulation and starts to turn on the heat in October at the first inkling he feels chilly. And yes, he can and does control the thermostat remotely! KarenVA I can relate!!!

Morning ladies, Michelle my DOS turns 65 in June, she was planning to retire on her b-day this coming June. This layoff accelerated her plan by 2 months, but actually gives her a windfall of around 8 months of extra pay by way of severance, so no worries there. It felt funny to her as she has been gathering up her courage…

Michelle may the procedure go quickly, important test to get through. I remember how light and relaxed I felt after my…

KarenVA I can't say our elopement was romantic, we had the license already so we knew we were going to get married, we just looked at each other and said why not do it on our Birthday?! So we headed out after both working that morning, city hall is a short walk from our house and we got hitched! Still felt pretty nervous…

Oooh Thanks Margaret, I will look up that color. My summer project list is growing and I'm getting excited about that. So far I have: --throw a party for my daughter and niece (both graduating college) and my DOS who is retiring, thinking open house type garden party --have my soil tested and my friend who is a master…

terri love your 20 for 20 goals Rori a day to oneself is a gift for sure. I am a big fan of soft-yellow paint color for bathroom. In another year or two we will have to repaint and I will be looking for that kind of yellow-our current yellow isnt quite right-some kind of green undertone I think. This month we also will…

Also having a cup of coffee and checking in with you all! Allie I always get anxious about packing for a trip, but take Trudy's advice, pack less, wear things more than once (nobody will notice, trust me) and yes, you can always pick something up if you need to. I'm so excited for you taking this trip, wowza! Barbie my MIL…

Barbara love your phrase "Pay Attention!" Sometimes when I'm joking with my students i'll Say "Two words people: Focus!!!" this is usually followed by a couple of beats of thinking and then someone will say quietly, that's only one word.... love it!!! Amber When Pip gets her boot out, that means she's encouraging us to…

My streak of no media consumption after work is now 3 days! (dancing emojis here) But, I'm suffering from a bout of insomnia, and I think it's because I use the media to fall asleep and now it is turned off. In addition to this new habit, I have also walked past the chocolates everyone seems to be dumping in staff rooms…

Karen VA can Lilliana be any more adorable? Enjoy every cuddle with her. Sharon I am inspired by your solo trip to Mexico and it is so smart to get the DDS work done when you are there, it is sooo crazy expensive in the US. Work errands after school yesterday but I didn't sink into the couch afterwards, so 2-day streak! I…

Katla, isn't the bone scan the easy peasy test where you just lay on the table, no fuss? Or am I mixing that one up with something else. Either way, take care of yourself. NYKAREN

Sleep schedule is off but I'm sure it will settle down once I get back to my regular work schedule, teaching makes me tired and therefore I sleep better! I'm up early with a cup of coffee and a catch up with you all. My new actions for January will include looking at how I do things habitually, like coming home and…

Morning ladies, I'm up early as usual enjoying my first cup of coffee, what a delight. Lots of cleaning up and errands from the holiday to complete today. Laundry, cleaning and grocery shopping. Also Rachel needs to have her phone repaired, what a rabbit hole that may be! We will go back to work tomorrow, wow, that's the…

Ladies, today’s New York Times has an article about Svalbard (where our Penny lives). Sorry I can’t post a link but I’m sure you can search for it, it’s about welcoming in the new year in that part of the world. Love to all, NYKAREN

sweet sweet sweet vacation is here!! I am going to turn off social media for the next 2 weeks for a complete rest. I will, of course, be setting goals when the clocks chime 2020, but won't post them until later in January. Know that I'll read posts, because you ladies mean so much to me (and you are a really chatty…

Karen va grrrr right there with you on the RX snafu. The simplest mistake costing such aggravation gets me soooo mad, especially when it can mean pain for someone you love. Remember that scene with Shirley MacLaine in “terms of endearment”? get my daughter the shot!!!!!! Well folks last day of work for 2 whole weeks :p the…

Luci KarenVa peace and healing strength as you wait for surgery to be over. Beth it sounds like a good semester and your DYS is going to graduate in May, very hopeful yes? Hope the migraine relief is more lasting this time. Rori love the idea of a creative outlet, especially one with photographs! Do you use shutterfly or…

Lanette Rachel's civic is sitting in our garage, she will get to drive it back to school in late January. I just got off the phone with her, her ride has decided to leave tomorrow instead of today due to the weather. I'm glad they are playing it safe and the "3 amigos" (that's what I call the girls in her house) will…
