DR Ginny - is this day at all bittersweet for you?  Or are you just ready to GET ON WITH IT?    :)

Ginny's packing up
Ginny's moving out...




We also discussed quite frankly the new assistant manager in our department, who wrote on my retirement card, "You will be missed - and resented."  No people skills, that one.

WHOA!  You can say that again!  -Or maybe it's best not to.

Five people at the above us are trapped so they have someone working on the road :)  Good for us.  Maybe now it will be fine tomorrow.

We have Craig & Ioana home & all was looking up.  Now Bryan has missed his flight & is in a long line to get another one.  We don't know if he will be here in time tomorrow.

Guess I'll explain all my whining & nervousness. Tomorrow at noon, in a very small casual ceremony, Craig & Ioana are getting married.  If the county clerk can't make it up our road (rather Keith can't go down to get her & bring her back) we will have the ceremony in Lithia Park & meet her there.  It will be very sad if it is just the four of us and Bryan can't make it.

A wedding - ooo, I love weddings!  Vibes that the weather cooperates!

I hope TCB doesn't mind, but I posted his wickedly wicked Jeremy Piven thermometer joke on All That Chat.

Mind?  Of course not, I was thrilled (till I read the comments)

So happy for DR GINNY.  I have been busier since I retired than I ever was before!

Friday afternoon greetings!  I'm more than halfway through my last day here.  The information-waitressing is going fine and my successor is picking up that routine quite quickly.

I wonder when DR Elmore would like to come over to sit by our Christmas tree and eat Shaddock's pizza?

Soon! Did you get your phone message?

I did, but not until I left work at 5:30.  How 'bout tomorrow evening?

Thank you, DR JRand.  I'm not really retired until January 1.  The next week and a half will just seem like a nice holiday break - it will hit me on Jan. 2, I think.

Randy and Jo are out tonight, so I'm here alone with the dogs Maddie and Max, working on the final edit of Babes In Toyland with tv to keep me company.

DR Nursie, I hope the ceremony goes well tomorrow.

DRGinny, check your phone messages.

Since I moved into this house it's gotten better all the time.  I hope to stay here for years and years and years....it will probably take that long to get the floor done, lol

I picked up another 5 gal water jug while I was at the office and can't think of anything that can't wait until it's safe to be out. 

Crazy I tell you, crazy!

Couldn't  you just melt snow?

LOL,  I suppose I could, there is plenty of it !

Well, if you do and it looks like lemonade - don't drink it!

I don't think I could live with all that snow.  To much work for me and my arthritis.

They will be putting the new carpet in at work over the weekend.  We had to pack everything up.  The dust was horrible.  Everyone was sneezing and it got into my eyes.  At times like that, wearing contacts is not pleasant.

I did get to go home at 4:00 instead of 4:30.  :)  Once everything was boxed up, we couldn't do any work and had no place to sit because even our chairs had to go into the unused conference room.

What an interesting day.  I spent quite some time setting up the Mail program on the MacBook - now all my AOL mail from my various addresses goes into the Mail program, where it is very simple to access, respond, AND save without ever having to log on to AOL.  The only downside is one cannot port over the AOL address book, although I gather there is third party software that enables you to do that.  So far Mail is working very well and I'm very happy I finally did it - thanks to Jose.

My darling daughter paid me an early Christmas visit, since this year she won't be able to come on Christmas day.  We had a really fun visit, had dinner at Stanley's, and she's gone back to her friend's house now.
