Well, you've read the notes, the notes wore tennis shoes and lost four paragraphs, and now it is time for you to post until the tennis shoes-wearing cows come home.

That's pretty scary about that Indiewire website and what happened to your computer, BK!

Today, we don't have to go into work until noon...so I won't. My normal-ish time to go in is 9:00, so I'll get to use at least three hours of Emergency Leave (since it's determined by the admin, there's no limit per year) instead of Inclement Weather (capped at 16 hours per year) or my vacation time. And if they close the building early, or open late tomorrow too, that's also more Emergency Leave.

I slept well, got plenty of sleep, but I would still like to go back to bed and sleep some more.

Good morning.

My cable went out for about 20 minutes. This happens way too often, so I called spectrum, spoke to a technician, and told him I did not think the problem was in my apartment buit in the cable coming into the building. He checked it, confirmed my theory, and between 9:00 and 10 today a supervisor will show up to check the situation.

Annabelle ate this morning for the first time in two days. She's gone back to sleeping in her bookcase aerie, which hasn't been vacuumed or cleaned in six months or so since I can no longer climb up there. I think she gets her sinuses clogged with dust, cannot smell, and therefore will not eat. I've been rinsing her nose with a wet cotton ball, which she hates, but last night she slept at the foot of my bed . . . and she ate this morning. I hope this continues.

I swapped sides of the bed, so I wouldn’t have to get up on the side that has vertigo. But it felt like sleeping in a new bed.

It is now 59 degrees and cloudy here.....the windows and screen doors are open so that we can enjoy the weather.

It's a bit damp....but not bad for December the 27th.

I am thinking I will be here for the NYE celebration. I have not been invited any place else.....but then I am usually a last minute invitation....like maybe in the afternoon of December the 31st.

Tomorrow is a banking day.....my sister has lost her glasses. We have been looking everywhere for them....

I hope they turn up.

What's with all this weather in the Pacific Northwest? eh?

I'm thankful we're staying relatively clean of it. We had that inch on Christmas Eve which finally melted off by Christmas afternoon. That's enough White Christmas for me, thankyouverymuch.

Tonight we're supposed to get some freezing rain or a little mix. It will screw up everybody's commutes in the morning but will melt off through the day.

I don't use Malwarebytes or anything else on the Mac. Maybe I should? Who else here besides His Lordship uses any kind of third party protection on their Mac? Maybe I should go with at least the free version?

I do use it -- the paid version of Malwarebytes -- on my old Windows laptop. I view that as essential. Also, because I never upgraded from Windows 7 which is no longer supported, I'm very careful to keep it offline except when necessary for short periods...even WITH the Malwarebytes protection.

New Year's Eve -- I may drop in from time to time. I have zero plans, as usual.

Weather: Here in Carolina del Sud (that's Eye-talian for South Carolina), we are having a warm spell, with highs in the 70s all week. It may rain at some point.

I have it in my mind that today is Monday. Is that right? Saturday felt like Sunday, and yesterday felt strangely like Monday, but I had to keep reminding myself that it couldn't' possibly be Monday.

Retirement is rough.

Will they likely be at the bank?

I had to look it up to be sure, but how interesting that "south" is the same word in both Italian and German. (In German, it's Süd, but same difference.)

Or maybe that isn't so unusual? I'm ready for a second cup of coffee anyway.

People around here seem full of bonhomie. That's pretty awesome given the state of the world.

Oh, yes...and Good Morning to all.

Couldn't there also be a country in which it's: Suds?

Also in French!!

In Spanish it's Sur.

Good morning, friends.

Yes, it's definitely Monday. Back to work for me.

DR singdaw, if you needed to know what day it is, all you had to do was ask.

We are here to serve.
