3hree!!!

So apparently Christmas is on but New Year's Eve is cancelled here.  People are allowed to gather (up to 10 people) on Dec 24, 25, 26, 27. But no office parties and no New Year's Eve. Everything else (restaurants, gyms, movie theatres, bars) stay closed till January 11th. I actually don't really care about any of those four things (as take out is still open and i was not comfortable eating in a restaurant anyways). But I am not thrilled about not being able to go in my sister's house.  I feel like many people are probably doing what they want while trying to be careful.  It's going to get so cold between now and January 11th. So visiting outside is not super practical.

Although for some reason it is supposed to be 60F today. yet our first snowstorm (of only maybe 2 inches) is scheduled for Sunday. Yeah for today. Not happy about the possibility of snow.

I am sorry you can't be with your nieces.  Is this because there will already be 10 people there?  Is it possible for you to have a smaller gathering, on a different day, with just you?

Sorry maybe I explained it wrong. Yes I could see them on those 4 days (if we decide it's safe). I meant for all of the other days between now and January 11th.

I like DR Jane's suggestions about DC Stella.

I have been on hold with See's Candy for a good while.  I am trying to find out why a tin of Toffee-ettes was delivered today.  It say to me and from me on the box label but nothing is inside.

  So?  Do you have to send them back??

Mystery solved once I found out the address of the sender because there didn't seem a name, except for mine. to go with the order.  They were a gift from good friends which is why I recognized the address.

The nice woman helping me was concerned she gave away a secret, and maybe an address.  I assured her all was good and the speed at which I recognized the address proved I knew them

[singdaw]

DR Jane has a secret admirer, apparently!

[Jane]

Or did Keith secretly send them to you?

No way.  He wants me to eat less candy, not more. 

[John G.]

I’ll take candy.

[John G.]

Logging off with glee. The last two hours have been frustrating, to say the least.

[singdaw]

Logging off with glee.

Would you call that a glexit?

Tomorrow’s epic is Mephisto, a German movie equating the Third Reich with Satan.

I suspected I wasn't understanding this.  It seems to me that you would be considered part of your sister's family.  Your strict rules are probably why Canada, except for poor Manitoba, is faring much better than the US which is the "greatest" country in the world.

Thanks.

I am very proud of my sleuthing abilities

We have achieved weekend in these here parts.

[bk]

Back from the mail place and no food.  Will now have to wait until five, which is irritating, as the Zoom rehearsals should have been done by four-thirty but I have two breaks of thirty minutes each because no one ever can do consecutive times. 

[bk]

I find I have two copies of that Barber set - six CDs - so if anyone here would like to have it, it's only $20 plus shipping - the set is still sealed.

[singdaw]

If I didn't already have it, I would take you up on that!

Very good news!  Now, you can eat them and not have to worry that they've been poisoned!

[John G.]

Oui.

[John G.]

I'll take the Barber set. Sounds good.

How much is the postage?

[John G.]

Donny Jr. has covid. Just going to leave that there and move on.

[Jeanne]

Hello, everyone.

[Jeanne]

I've been doing a bit of quarantining of sorts for the past two weeks. I had a cold, which passed quickly, but left me with a cough and feeling fatigued. I doubt that it was Covid, but I couldn't see my doctor and didn't feel like doing much, so I stayed home. The cough is almost gone now, so I won't be persona non grata.

[Jeanne]

I did go out yesterday for a haircut. The salon was very busy at one point. I think many people are expecting hair salons to have to shut down again soon. I stopped for some groceries on the way home. It felt like such an outing after being in so much!

[Jeanne]

DR Elmore, have you spoken to the vet about Stella? She may know of something that would calm her down a bit.

[Jeanne]

The original poster asked for a 3-word caption. My submission was: "Dole Whip Don't."

I am very glad I did NOT see THAT yesterday!

[Jeanne]

Jennifer, sorry you can't see your family as much as you'd like. Cold weather certainly makes distancing more difficult.

I liked your idea of a book club with your niece. Do you do Zoom (or other) visits with them?

[Jeanne]

TTFN.

[John G.]

Off to a socially distanced, outdoor birthday party. Thankfully the weather's warm.

[John G.]

But first ...
