Chilly today. Around zero with the wind chill.  I've got on my sweatpants and a fleece jacket. Perhaps I'll break out the hot cocoa.

If this were an Internet outage in my building, I'd either go unpaid or have to take vacation time. But since it's on the state's end, I think this is paid time.

Mom is headed back to the ER. She may have had a stroke.

Oh, no! I'm so sorry.

Okay, it's announcement time!

I would ask for prayers for Rosemary's Baby, but that might be a bit too much, all things considered.

Hang onto yer asses, here goes nothing...



I hate this show, but I wis you well with it. Take comfort that it will never be as rotten as the original Broadway production. Nothing could be.

Thanks!  :D  I never thought anything of it, having only heard ad infinitum about the Broadway disaster.  Then I began listening to the off-B'way revival version and came to really like the score.

Carrie has a couple of nice songs in it. Love the version of Unsuspecting Hearts that BK produced.

I’m surprised that I did some decent work. Earned that nickel.

Wednesday afternoon greetings!  We went to Dayton this morning for Richard’s 5th burn clinic appointment and they are pleased with his progress.  We need to keep treating his foot with collagen and honey (medicinal-grade) patches, but we don’t have to return to the clinic until January 5.

On our way home we had a nice brunch at First Watch and I made a very fruitful stop at CVS for stocking stuffers.  My gift-wrapping is now complete.

No DR JANE - the two exclusions have not been issued an invitation to the private sale.....

My two nieces are coming today - the last of the relatives.  And then we start on the three friends.....one today and two tomorrow.

Thank goodness it is almost over.

I will just say this and not mention any names or anything.

It is very difficult to work with someone who is never wrong.  This is particularly true when you are never right.

You are so very right.

Yes, I am still in Johnston SC, the "peach capital of the world" as our water tower proudly proclaims.

This town is basically very friendly, with many people knowing just about all the other people herein.

Even I get included in greetings from strangers who knew my mom, know where I live, know my comings and goings...and yet I know not one thing about them.  Nor, may I say it, do I care.

;D

Yesterday morning, it occurred to me that I had some bills to pay that were comng due sooner, rather than later.  One was a property tax bill, and another was the insurance premium on the house on said property.  The latter was due Dec. 24th.  I had conveniently buried the invoice under a pile of annuity checks I must take to the bank (a pile is merely three, but still in a pile).

I wrote a check for property tax (due Jan. 13) and mailed it during my post office visit.

Happily, State Farm, who insures my house, my car and my truck, is only six miles away.  I departed my house and began the drive, only to remember reading that an organization had placed wreaths on all veterans graves.  Since it was on the way, I entered the cemetery and there, indeed, was a beautiful green wreath on my father's marker.  My parents are buried side-by-side, and there is an urn in middle of the marker.  I had placed a wreath over the urn two weeks ago, so there is a lot of greenery and red flowers to be seen there.

I find it touching that people honor your father with a wreath.

Mom is alert and talking again. The nurse said they’ll likely keep her overnight.

Great news that she is alert!
