GoooooO morning, dear O-Fam. Honestly, I am not in a much better mood today but I am going to fake it 'til I make it today. :madgrin::madgrin::madgrin:

yesterday, I got to chat with my mom a bit and she and my dad were thinking about driving down the shore, packing sandwiches to eat in the car while watching the waves, and heading back home in time for dinner. I haven't talked to her yet but I hope that she did it. I joked that she needed to tall the ocean that I missed it and would see it soon. :pray2: I stayed away from the news for most of the day and Cait and I worked on the puzzle that she got me for Christmas- all about feminist/activist/female leaders. I have to say I was slightly annoyed while reading the bios of the women Prime Ministers who were from other countries while we still haven't had a female leader in the US. We will be getting closer on the 20th!! :whoo: I spent some time playing with the rats, Dill and Liv were being cute and snuggly and the babies were being adorable little brats. I wish they would let me hold them more but darn, they have the cutest faces.

Scott and Leah are heading to PA for a couple of days. They are so lucky to see different walls. hehe. My "big" plans for today are to catch up on some stuff here and clean my BR. I took most of the stuff out of my room to steam clean and I haven't felt up to putting it back yet. The sun is shining so I am going to open up the blinds and let the light cheer me up too. W had me up again at 3 to take her out and it took me over 1.5 hours to get back to sleep so I am dragging a bit so I will be pleased if I can get that accomplished.

Who has fun plans for the weekend?
Hugs!
 
Trudy- did you ever get to see some sunshine yesterday? I hope it wasn't too dreary while you were running your errands. Pizza sounds delish, I wish I could order in tonight. With Gary not being able to eat nuts and not having people here for the holidays, we still have Christmas cookies left. I will tell Scott and Leah to take some with them. I don't even want to *think* about my weight. I am going to need to soon but not today *wink*
Thank you for the hugs!! Backatcha- :kiss: I wish I could find the image, but Scott showed me a meme he saw on FB. There was a line about 2020 being a totally crazy year. Then it said... Six days into 2021... and a photo of the tattooed rioter wearing horns and the fur cape inside the Capitol Rotunda.

2021 is off to a bang-up start in the US of A. :?

Hope that the woman loves the painting you did!

Cheryl- Thanks for resharing that gorgeous and inspiring photo!!! The sunbeams-- wow!!
It gave me a lump in my throat and a bit of a twist in my heart. I am echoing the sentiment wholeheartedly.

Felis- that is fantastic that you had a workday again. Are you going to be having regular hours again? Hehe-- the couple of times that I was able to clean for my friend while she was away over the summer, I was so discombobulated (I hope that translates!) and it took me forever to get anything done.
Foxeysquirrel's designs are amazing- congrats on the win!!!
I think some music might help-- the Rent soundtrack is always my "go to" when I am feeling hopeless.

xoxoxo to everyone!
 
good morning - I have been processing the events that happened. What makes me the saddest was just to see that once the police arrived they were just allowed to walk away. That is all I will say. I have been having great walks with Luther. As we were walk a group of kids were playing with their dogs. One on a leash and two were free. The little French bull dog came running into the street to meet Luther. Luther (of course) was awesome. He just let the dog sniff. The dad finally came out and rescued the kids and the dogs and apologized. But everything was awesome. I am a proud dog owner. Watching a funny show "no tomorrow". I think it must have originally been on CBS. It is about a man who claims that a meteor will strike the earth in 8 months and so lives his life like no tomorrow. As he encounters others, his life style profoundly effects those he meets. Also reading a lot. Today is sunny and cold. My oldest son had decided to change jobs. He dislike the new manager where he worked and another dealer called him and offered him a job with a raise and not having to work on the weekends. He will be much happier but it is a bit more of a commute.

Chris glad you had a good talk with your mom on her birthday. Hope the hot water get better. I need more than a warm shower. Have fun with the pets! Hope Scott and Leah have fun in PA.

Trudy glad that your meet up with your sisters was so fun! Sorry no hugs. My sister and I talk every Friday and we have yet to FaceTime LOL. We both agree better that way. Glad you still swimming! Hope the painting goes well.

Cheryl hope you get internet via your satellite soon. Using phone is not fun. Your doggie's antics sound cute.

Felis congrats on the busy work day. Believe me we cant understand the happenings in the Capital so it makes it pretty hard to explain to others what these people were thinking. What I will say is that I feel the majority of Americans did not like what they saw happening and we need to take a hard look at ourselves make sure in the next 4 years we come more together.

Take care.
Have a great day.
 
Happy Sunday- a day of rest! Will I rest? Probably not. But did I sleep better last night? Thankfully, I did. W woke me up around 2 am again but it was only for me to let her under the covers. Why she cannot simply wiggle under there on her own, I have no idea but nope, she has to paw at someone until we lift up the sheets so she can get under them. But at least I didn't have to get out of bed and for that, I am happy. I asked Gary to *please* let them all out before he came to bed. Good man! :)

My "big" project yesterday was to pack up all of the yarn that I was given two months ago. I sorted them into smaller boxes by color and shoved a lot of them under my bed. hehe. I felt bad for my mom when I talked to her. Her b-day and trip down the shore seemed to only make her feel more sad and lonely. I got the feeling that she thinks she might not make it back. She didn't come out and say it in so many words but the way she was describing how they drove by all of her favorite places, her old house, the places she went as a kid (that weren't destroyed by Superstorm Sandy), where we stayed the last few times we went down. Just a vibe I got, it is very possible I am reading more into it.

We started to watch the new Ted Danson TV show, The Mayor. That made me laugh out loud a few times which felt good. Not much here today, I have to re-plastic the window in Caitlyn's room and clean the house a bit. I am still very tired and achy and asked Gary to make sure I am not relapsing. I see my LLMD in March but if Lyme is hitting me again, I do not want to wait that long. It is hard to tell, this always the time of year that does me in, plus the stress of the entire past year has a big part too. My brain doesn't feel like concrete- that is always a sign for me when it refuses to work and I can "feel" it all gunked up. I know that sounds crazy but it is the truth ;)

I have a LO or two that I need to post and I want to spend some time in the Gallery. We will probably work some more on the puzzle. Even Gary was helping us yesterday. Itis just the three of us for dinner tonight so I am going to ask Gary how he feels about making grilled cheese. It feels like a good night for that.

Have a fantastic day!!!
 
Nancy- just us this weekend so far! This past week has made me heartbroken too.
I keep thinking that I need to take the dogs for a walk but then I am told darn cold- this week we might get into the 40's so maybe it won't be so bad. I would also like to get all of the g-parents to come up to visit too. the temps and sun and patio heater might make it not too miserable.
Gary and I are always looking for sitcoms to mix in with all of the dramas we watch. We have been watching Life in Pieces on Amazon which is very cute. Where is No Tomorrow on?
Good luck to DS on his new job!

Hope all of you are enjoying the weekend!
 
Morning everyone! I was MIA from here yesterday, because I of coursed jinxed myself by saying that I would not be having a busy weekend LOL. My Gary had lots of errands to run and we also had to take all of our bottles and cans to recycle place. We have not been there for almost a year and it was good to get rid of all of that stuff! We were fortunate to time it just right too as we were the only ones inside after we got all the sorting done. You have to sort all of your stuff into different categories outside the building and then they only allow so many inside to drop it all off and get paid. The young man at the counter was quite the joker and had us laughing the whole time we were there! :love: it really is amazing how laughter can make you feel so much better! Once we were done going here and going there for different things it was time to come home and have a cup of coffee and then get supper ready. DH offered to BBQ Hamburgers, so of course I took him up on his offer LOL. Yummy!! One of my most fav meals!

Chris - I am glad to hear that you had a better nights sleep! Too funny that your dog will not just crawl under the covers! Awww I feel so bad for your Mom! I know how she feels as yesterday I had a bit of a melt down too and cried because I am worried I will never get to hug my kids and grands again! I had been txting our son and he is missing us, has to be home all this week to make sure the kids are doing their online learning. Dam Covid!! I hope that you can have that visit with the grand parents!! How is the patio heater? Do you think it helps for your outside visits? Have you been watching Yellowstone on Amazon? It is really good! We have been enjoying it very much! Also watching the re-make of The Stand. I am on the fence about it as I think the original was better and went into the characters personalities more.

Nancy - Yes it must be sad to have to watch the happenings in the States! Wonder what next week will bring?? Your Luther is such a good boy! Hope that you continue to have your great walks with him! Nice that your son has found new employment, hopefully he will be happier in his new job! Hope that you are having a nice Sunday!

Ok I will be getting breakfast for my Gary and myself. I am thinking poached eggs sound good! We might be going for a drive to see MIL and FIL and dropping off some wine that we bottled for them a while back. Also :washing: and other house work today. Hope you all have a great day! :wave:
 
I took the past 2 days off... a difficult milestone day on the 8th. Still feeling sad and missing hubby so much. Woke up to snow this morning - but only had about 1" and most of it is melting away now even though the temp is only 38* and that is suppose to be the high for the day. Yesterday, DD#3 and GSon came by for a quick visit... masks, distance, etc... to bring me my Christmas present. 2 pair of fabulous skinny pants in wild prints. They are so soft and feel great against the skin. I have some long tops that will be perfect to wear with them... once it is warm enough to wear short sleeves again. They were so helpful - changed the sheets on my bed for me as the fingernail is still too sore to use that hand to pull fitted sheet on and tuck things under the mattress. It was so nice to climb into a fresh-made bed last night.

Have a family chat this afternoon... hoping that will lift my spirits a bit. DD#1 is home from AZ but is self-isolating for 2 weeks.
 
Hello my lovelies! Happy (or at least try to have) Sunday!

Chris, thanks for your heartfelt comment about my Cherokee Prayer! I got a lump in my throat reading about the lump in yours. SO happy I could give you some happiness.

Nancy, our Daisy is such a cutie - I just wish I could share her with all of you.

My sweets, hang in there - I know things are "rocky" and I'm not sure when they're going to get smoother, but we have each other, right? Sending hugs to all.

Sweet Kay, I'm sending you a cyber hug and lots of special and tender love right now. Anniversaries are the worst when you've lost somebody you love. ALL of them are bad, but especially the day they left us.

Love to all and a great big group hug.
