It's OK that we don't have elaborate Christmas plans for this year because our new kitchen countertops are scheduled to be installed on Dec. 22. We will be in a bit of a mess that will probably take a few days to clean up.

TOD (cont'd) - I'm ready to turn the whole holiday entertaining enterprise over to the younger generation. Just tell me what to bring and what time to be there...

I arose a little earlier than I planned, but I am off to work after a two month break.

The knee is still not okay, but I maxed out my medical leave and would be losing my health coverage. So I am back.

Mike, does your company allow Shared Leave? Perhaps there are some fellow employees who would be willing to donate some of their leave?

I was shocked back into reality yesterday, when SnoopDog mentioned that it was the first Sunday of Advent. That certainly put me face to face with Christmas and all that it entails.

I have been out of bed since about 5:30, not because I was rested; but rather because I was having severe leg cramps. That is usually a side effect of being exhausted. I will probably have to nap a couple of times today.

Self-realization for today: I am too right-brained to be an administrator.

I hear that DR GINNY!

However I did get the title of the next volume of my memoirs from one of your posts yesterday:

ENTERTAINING THE BISHOP (and his wife)

I have decided that this December - now that it is December - that my mission will be doing errands for my working friends.....I have let it be known that if anything needs to be picked up or purchased or driven to, I would be glad to do it.....just make sure it's on my schedule in a timely manner.....although I do expect a couple of emergency runs.....

I have my first ANTIGONE meeting/rehearsal this Thursday evening, so I will miss PETER PAN, but I do not think I will mind that.

THanks for the link DR DRUXY.....once my gubbermint check comes in this month, I plan to purchase the book.

And I am home from therapy. I need to do the laundry and get to work. I need to talk to Joshie about tomorrow's schedule.

DR CILLA LIZ - several people are tweeting live from the courtroom.....nothing today, but court Tuesday and Wednesday.

Juan Martinez should be up on Tuesday with his re-direct of the first defense mitigation witness who didn't fare very well under direct cross.

The defense seems to be re-trying the guilt phase rather than presenting mitigating evidence that will keep the death penalty off the table. There have been a lot of specious allegations that take up a lot of time.....at $300 per hour for the defense attorneys....and there is no end in sight. This is the first defense witness, and who knows how many will be called.

TOD: Too much is already happening with a growing number of office parties on top of everything else. But the big focus of the holiday season will be heading for Louisville on Dec. 18. First time I'll be spending Christmas with the folks at the old homestead in 35 years, if my math and memory are correct.

DR JRand, that is a very thoughtful and generous offer. As a retired person myself, I try to do my errands during hours when others are likely to be working - to stay out of their way.

I am back from the bank, where I deposited a couple of small (impressively small, if you want to know) checks, and the contents of the self-counting coin jar on my dresser. It usually gets to $62 to $63 before it's difficult to add any more, and today was no different. However, just as the coin counter was about to swallow the last pile of my treasure, I thought to pull out three pennies -- which I am going to place on the windowsill. If DR Elmore can do it and WIN, then so can I, damn it. Right? Right? Am I right?

Jrand74 · « **Reply #50 on:** December 01, 2014, 09:26:04 AM »

Same thing I do DR GINNY.......when I was working I used to be amazed at the number of OLDER people.....now MY age....who were doing their shopping, Post Office and banking chores, in the late afternoon after I got off work....

Now 9 a.m. - 2 p.m. is my store/bank/Post Office time....barring emergencies of course.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #51 on:** December 01, 2014, 09:26:45 AM »

Three pennies on the windowsill always works!

ChasSmith · « **Reply #52 on:** December 01, 2014, 09:27:55 AM »

On the inside part, right? I guess that's the actual sill, not the part between the glass and the screen, if there is a screen.

And face up or down, or just however they fall?

ChasSmith · « **Reply #53 on:** December 01, 2014, 09:30:52 AM »

Oh, and something extra came back to me via the rejected coins bin today: a square-ish 1945 five-cent piece from Ceylon. Isn't that interesting? I have no idea whether it had been with my coins or if the last person might have missed picking it up. But it's so unusual, and of such fine vintage, that I feel I should do something with it.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #54 on:** December 01, 2014, 10:50:55 AM »

On the inside sill.....face up....in a line or triangle or circle....however you wish.

I wish Bryan still lived in Portland, then we would go for Christmas. It will just be us here and Bryan is working. Craig likes to stay home with Yogi & Kitty. Maybe one day he will have a house we can go to.

I, on the other hand, am up. Nine hours of sleep and I'm ready to do something. It took a while to get to sleep because my brain is working overtime on a couple of things.

Despite claims of the big rain being today and tomorrow, at this point there is none and the sun is trying to come out. Go know.

What a nice gift which I'm sure will be appreciated.
