Morning, Cammy Cat!Looks like we bumped each other into the pool!Meet you at the swim up bar? Glad the guys closed for a long weekend.They deserve it! It seems to take longer every year to recover from some things.
Goldie--Good for you!

I was just coming back in looking for u. Lori great u have a genny, Kim do u have one too. Maine has so many crazy winter days, worse than Chicago...but I'm glad u got some down time. I notice ur starting to work more and more and I hope things get straightened out by the end of the year. U can't start this over again.

Yea ur martini didn't really go over but I would have eaten the. potatoes.
OK enough of my lecturing.

HI friends- visit with the eye doc went well, except they had an urgent care open there this morning so there were screaming kids everywhere. My apt ran about 20 min late, but met with one of the nice opthalmologists who checked my eyes and said pressures good and they also said I am already 20/20 in that eye three days out with healing. Whoot. I will be going back next Friday for follow up #2. I ran some much needed errands and now am home. Per Dr. Cami, I need to rest too and I am ready for a NAP! The storms are gone but we have a biting wind today and it was not fun being out for hours in that.
JCS, because we are the desert, the moisture usually evaporates or sublimates, but we do have run off too. The snow pack supplies our water here to the aquifers and also to the Rio Grande (which also feeds some of the bigger reservoirs here). Any moisture is good for us, as we need it for water supply and to keep the fire risk down. And well, the ski industry makes big money off the tourism over the winter time here too. I like the snow, I grew up in the east coast but have not seen so much this early before. Makes me wonder if it's going to be a snowy winter?
I like that you are doing a girls weekend. Those are so fun, and I can talk to my girlfriends for hours on end when I see them. Hope it's awesome and a good break for you with all that has been going on.
NM- sounds like you had a stormy holiday like we did too. I always think turkey is good any time and there is a place here in town that makes a dish called "Pilgrims Feast" which has turkey, stuffing, sweet potatoes and cranberry sauce. I might get some for take out tomorrow or maybe this week.
Sounds like you have had a really busy work week. I work with many at this healthcare org whom work those 12 hour shifts and know they are exhausting. Take care of yourself and glad you and Miss Sadie slept in. And yes, I need things simpler as I get older, especially with end of the year holidays. There is always a lot of "expectation" from others and decided not my job to meet those.....
Ill- that drink looks yummy.....

Since I had all the ingredients, here’s the blue Monday that I think NM posted a month or so ago.

Cami, I don't know when the last time was that we had to use the generator. It does come on every Saturday for about 20 minutesm but that's just to keep it running and in good shape. Was it you that asked where all the rain/snow melt goes? If it melts slowly or rains slowly, it will go into the ground and into the aquafer. Otherwise, into the washes it goes and I think eventually into the Colorado River.
Oops, guess it was JCS that asked and Jazzy answered, pretty much the same as I did, except for the evaporation.
Baby Girl, what's in the tipsy Mermaid?
NM, I'm like Cami and don't want you to fall into the same circus you just came from. I know you are passionate about your work and the patients, but you have to take care of you too.
Jazzy, so glad your eye/s are doing so well. I'm jealouse of those that can nap. Heck, I have a hard time falling asleep at bedtime!
Put up my little tree yesterday, will get the rest done today. I dread when the time comes to pack it all up and take it all down.
Took some things down to my neighbor yesterday, her fridge died and she moved from her sisters delapidated trailer to the house her brother was in. She got here about a month ago, after being homeless. The house is disgusting. Her brother was a drinker and did nothing. Fed the mice in the house, had snakes getting in. She showed me her mom's old bedroom, he hid his garbage in there, the drawers in the kitchen are full of mouse droppings. Just horrible. I feel like I should help her clean it out, but it really doesn't look like she's done anything and wants to hire a cleaning company! She has COPD and smokes, the house reeks! And she said when she coughs she has blood that comes out of her behind. Oh my!

Good Morning, Loungettes! Happy Sunday Funday!Did you ladies know there was such a thing as purple carrots? Some came in my Misfits box this week. I cut them up and cooked them up along with the orange carrots and the yellow carrots and potatoes I got for a chicken pot pie. Did you know that purple carrots turn the cooking water purple? I was a bit surprised when I took the lid off the pot to check them the first time! Figured I'd have a purple chicken pot pie when I got done, but the potatoes and turnip did not pick up the color. I also tried a new recipe and method for making the pie crust, and did it come out GOOD! I love my Mom dearly, but I'm ditching her pie crust recipe, which never worked as well for me as it did for her anyway. The pot pie came out great. I used the blueberries in the box to make blueberry pancakes for breakfast this ayem. Poor Sadie is tuckered out from all the time and energy she spent trying to get between me and the counter as I was cooking yesterday. I swear she's learned just when to joggle my arm to make me drop something, and it never hits the floor!
Cammy Cat--Yes, the work hours have crept up a bit, and I am putting a strict no-extra-hours this week in place so I can get reset at home and caught up on my work. I am not going to work myself into the ground again. Hopefully we'll get a traveling nurse in soon and get the open positions filled with reasonable people shortly after and can get past this. So I am paying attention to your lecture!
Illi--love the Tipsy Mermaid!
Jazzy--Hooray for 20/20 vision!Sorry about all the screaming kids, and I hope you got your nap. It was a bit of a crazy week, but it's over and done. I feel better already and still have a whole day of recovery to go! So many expectations this time of year, I'm learning to take easier ways out. Gift cards are a wonderful invention! Especially for the last minute shopping.
Illi--pretty drink, isn't it?
Goldie--I am being very careful about what I pick up for covering work. I keep telling myself, not my circus, not my monkeys, but it's hard when it's MY people that need taking care of. I have learned not to make any decisions when I'm asked to cover, and absolutely will not work 2 days in a row. Your neighbor sounds like she needs some real help. I hope she does have a cleaning company coming in. Cigarette smoke is the worst smell to me, and always kicks up my asthma. If she has blood coming out her behind when she coughs she either has honking hemorrhoids or really needs to see a doctor! Poor lady.

Goldie- it is good you offered the woman some food. That being said, that house sound like it is very unhealthy and their may be rodent born diseases in there as a result. I am pretty picky these days about houses I will spend time in for any reason. She sounds like she need someone to clean out the house, and with COPD, does not sound like a good place for her to be. You are a good soul to help out with what you could. Do take good care of yourself too!
NM- I did know about the purple carrots, our farmers market here sells them in the summer and also one of the health food stores. And yes, they do change things color, but not sure if purple carrots have something different than orange ones? I know they are good for the eyes and have some regular carrots in my chicken noodle soup I am making today. And Sadie knocking your arm for food, she just cracks me up.
Happy December everyone. How did we get here so fast?

Jazzy - you're right - how did we get to December? So glad your eyes are great! I'm looking forward to getting my next one. I will really enjoy my vacay ty!
NM - I can see Sadie joggling your arm strategically, such a clever miss!! Glad you are learning to say no!!
illi - I may have to try a tipsy mermaid in Mexico this week, sure looks yummy!
goldie - I'm with you, I am okay putting up the tree, but taking down gets me every time. Yikes your neighbor sounds like she is daring her copd, though I guess sometimes people just feel they would rather go out 'enjoying' (coughing and spewing is not my idea though).
Happy December to everyone, we are heading to bed early as we leave for the airport at 1:45 ayem, yuck! so going to try and snooze for a few hours. No wifi, or very limited so I will be off the grid till after December 10, getting sooooo excited. Adios amigos Cheers

Good Morning, Loungettes!Happy Monday Monkey day! Sadie and I had a wonderful day yesterday. Made some baked apples, and some pear turnovers and started binge watching Call the Midwife from season 1. Cold outside, another bout of snow coming in, got my head organized for grocery shopping after work tonight. Got an extra bonus last night, Sadie had her feet against my back when she started dreaming, so I got a nice massage!
Jazzy--I knew there are purple and blue and red and yellow potatoes, I should have figured there were purple and yellow carrots, too! Don't know if they have anything different nutritionally, but they taste good and look cool in the pot pie! Happy December!
Janky--Yup, Sadie has me well trained. She pretty much gets what she wants out of me. If I don't spill or drop something I'll actually pick out a bit to give to her, so it's my own fault. But I do like having her company in the kitchen when I'm cooking.

Mornin ladies,
Some good stuff here.
Jazy ur eyes really came thru fast and good. That's wonderful.
Illi great drinks, I'd like both of them for sure.
Janky ull have a great time, just leave and enjoy.
Kim I so enjoy how u and Sadie interact she's a hoot and ur just fun with or without her, but mostly with.
Lori don't u even think of it.U;'ll think about ur neighbor and wonder when u can go and what u can do. NOTHING, not in that house and I don't care how good u feel. That exposure is horre ndous for u. So keep out. Maybe after she gets a company to come in and really clean it out u can bring her another meal, but that's it. U can be such a softy, but not this time.
I talked to my BFF last nite for 2 hrs, I guess we had a lot to say.. Now my phone has rung 2 sofar so I'd better get things straightened out.
Hoping everyone has a good day
LUBS U ALL

Good morning ladies- well the long weekend is over (as is my time to rest and recover). Back to work today but feel really good and will pace myself today. I have the cleaning company coming this morning for the monthly cleaning and getting ready. You know "the cleaning before the cleaning".
I was going to go the movies yesterday, but decided I was enjoying being home and got in to finishing my summer to winter clothing exchange I usually do in October (I started it but as you know, October turned in to something else). Got my closets in good order, and some more things to take to donations. I have things pretty ready for the Molly Maids and will be working from home and then in to the client site for my day. I found a missing pair of reading glasses as part of my clean up yesterday. You know what they say, when you are missing something, start cleaning.
I also decided I am going to leave this contract as scheduled end of the month and let the prime know this morning in an e-mail. That got thrown at me the Friday before last and right before my surgery, so I could not really get my head around it nor any good answers on what the expectations are. I remembered this weekend that the goal of this organization has been to hire more FT project managers and reduce contractors, they have been talking about it since I got there. I am good with it, as the gig has served it's purpose and has gotten me through 2019 with regular income, helped me to have the space and out of pocket for surgeries and to pay off the house. Lots of new work inquiries coming to me and ready to move on. I am offering to be available on a consulting basis for questions, etc. for a period of time in the new year to help with the transition.
I requested my pay off statement on Friday after paying my December payment and by 12/20, this house will be mine all mine!
Goldie- you might want to suggest Molly Maids to your neighbor, but given you are in a more rural area, not sure if they are there. But I have used them for years and you can hire them for a deep cleaning. But based on what you said, she may need a specialized firm that can go in and clean out the situation there (like companies that help hoarders, etc). I agree with Cami, once the place is in better shape, you can go back or just leave something on the stoop with a "sorry, have to run". You are a good soul to help where you can.
Cami- a good long talk with a BFF, nothing like it. I have a few girlfriends like that where we can talk for hours about anything and everything. So glad you got that time with her.
NM- am I hearing that right that Miss Sadie gave you a back rub with her paws? That girl is adorable. I hope your weekend is reasonable and know the big storm we had is over east now. Be safe.
Also, I found this on line as I am curious too about potatoes. I always here that the more colorful the veggies, the better. I buy purple potatoes myself regularly and it's the cartenoids that make the difference. Anti-oxidants and all that jazz. And who knew sweet potatoes are not really in the potato family? Read on friend.....
https://www.livestrong.com/article/465529-what-kind-of-potatoes-are-the-healthiest/
Janky- we know you are gone and hope your time away is good?
Chi- hope you guys got back okay with this big storm that has moved in to the east coast, etc.
Gotta get going to my day and week and will poop after my next eye follow up this Friday!

NM, glad you can remind yourself "not my circus....." But I know your concern about your patients, I would be the same way. So nice of Sadie to give you a massage. Yes the house stinks and so does she. I don't know what the water situation is over there, if she has a washer or can even take a shower. No fridge that works. I had to laugh at the "honking hemroids". She does have a vehicle, old broke down truck with a broken steering column and dead battery. I just hope she doesn't ask us for rides and such, my DH will have nothing to do with it. She posted this morning about hearing a rat the size of a beaver chewing outside in the corner of the floor in the living room!
Jazzy, rodent born disease was a concern of mine too. Didn't stay too long and didn't touch anything. I don't know what kind of cleaning services are availble and not my responsibility to find one, like NM...not my circus! I didn't take a meal over, I took non parishable things the I haven't used. Good luck on the work front, but you always manage to find something.
Janky, do be safe in Mexico and aware of your surroundings. Lots of not so nice things going on there, but I don't know if it's anything near where you are going. I've never been, my brother goes every year to Cancun.
Cami, I decided I am not going to help her clean. Like I said, she has been in there for a couple of weeks now. And I can't see where she has done anything, but then again, I have not been in that house in probably 10 years when her mom still lived there. So I don't know what kind of condition it was is in when she moved in there.

Goldie - definately not your circus & monkeys 😁

Lori, down in AZ, rodent-borne illness is not a theoretical textbook concept : rodents in the SW carry hantavirus. I hope the place can be cleaned up to the extent that the only threat to your neighbor is her own smoking; sounds like her other health troubles are behind her now...literally.
The flight home wasn't too bad, though security was a bummer. As I'd expected, Fast-Track meant arbitrary & capricious agents deciding on a whim who had to take off their shoes and who didn't. They ordered me to take off my flats & blazer, remove my iPad and baggie with liquids. Even though my orthopedic hardware didn't light up the scanner, they pulled me aside anyway and unpacked my carry-ons--and had a ten-minute four-person conference about what to do with my little portable Screwpull corkscrew (which never had been a problem in any other airport--including Heathrow in 2016 & 2017). They decided not to confiscate it. But then after having ransacked my rollaboard, they made me re-pack it. We did have enough time for a quick flute of champagne at Prunier, and I bought a "caviar shot" (less than a tablespoon of sevruga) in a sealed and shrinkwrapped tin to use up spare coins my bank won't buy back. They put it in a little fabric-covered shopping bag with a cold pack.
We were in the last row in Economy Comfort, and I feared our seats wouldn't recline. They did. The food wasn't the equal of business class, but worlds better than regular Economy. Sadly, even though I did mostly eat "around" the carbs (had prawn curry but left most of the jasmine rice, which was overcooked) I did have about half the little slab of cheesecake. I did turn down the proffered ice cream bar (it was milk chocolate anyway), but the margherita French bread pizza was too good, I was too hungry, and it'd have been too messy to gnaw off the toppings & leave the bread. Watched two movies (Rocket Man and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood), but the 300-lb. 6'4" guy with ADHD in front of me kept fidgeting & squirming all 8 hrs and treating his seat like a rocking chair on a Cracker Barrel porch. I nearly got seasick trying to watch the seatback screen bouncing around at random. (Good thing this wasn't a theater or I'd never have been able to see the screen).
Then when we landed, Global Entry made CBP a breeze--just a scanner, no lines. Took awhile for the bags to come down, but they eventually did. So we headed for the exits & handed the Customs guard our exit receipts. We truthfully declared we were bringing in way less than our duty-free allowance. He began to say "welcome home" and wave us through when his little power-hungry trainee spied the shopping bag from Prunier. "Is that caviar? What's Prunier? Where did you get it?" I told her it was a prepackaged souvenir I bought at Heathrow, and it was factory-sealed six ways from Sunday and cost only 25 pounds (about $30), but she insisted I go all the way down to Customs lane 1--where they ran everything through X-ray and grilled me about the caviar. They unwrapped it from the tissue paper and examined it, holding it up to the light like a FL recount inspector studying a hanging chad. They called for the supervisor, who snorted "It's sealed, canned & shrinkwrapped--let the poor woman go home and enjoy it." (Shades of 1999--I'd bought a little tin of pate at CDG airport to use up Euros before our flight home from Paris, but Bob insisted on answering "yes" to the question on the landing card "are you bringing in meat?" He almost answered "yes" to the question about visiting agricultural land--we took the hokey Moet & Chandon winery tour in Champagne--but I convinced him they were concerned about actual farms & ranches. So the Customs guy pulled us aside and made us explain what pate was, where we bought it, yada yada--and then the supervisor said "it's a sealed can, for pity's sake--sorry to have inconvenienced you, welcome home"). Honesty is the best policy, but my former boss had a saying he used to tell clients about to give testimony: "Always tell the truth...but don't always be a-tellin' it."
Rehearsals are intense & exhausting, but fun. I got the costume changes down pat--I wrote down where to put what pieces & props and when to get and drop them back off. But we moved our stuff out of the Bar Assn. and into the theater tonight. Tomorrow is tech rehearsal--we learn who will get which mic packs when, from whom, and to whom to hand them off backstage. That adds a layer of stress, especially in light of some quick-changes, because you're not supposed to leave the backstage with a mic pack on. At least this year we get to keep our mics taped to our faces the whole time, and just play roulette with the transmitter packs. Wed. night is full-dress, we open Thursday and run through Saturday. When I started in 2002, we did six performances--with dress being the afternoon of opening night; over the years, budget constraints knocked it down to five and then four performances--including Sun. matinee--for the past five years. Three is just not enough time to get a groove going. Old-timers tell me the show used to run two weeks, as dinner theater in the Hilton ballroom across the street--with an open bar all evening. Cast & band would get sloshed by the finale. Hilarity ensued...until one day it didn't, when the stage collapsed and several cast members were hurt. Imagine a ballroom packed with personal-injury lawyers: the flurry of business cards must have looked like giant snowflakes!

Good Morning, Loungettes!Happy twofer Tuesday! Getting up and expecting to see snow, not seeing much at all. Lots of reports of slippery roads, but nothing that I haven't driven through a million times. Go slow enough and all is well. I'll be a little late getting in to work unless I leave a little earlier, we'll see where I'm at when the coffee mug is empty! Sadie says Woof to everyone!
Cammy Cat--my life is much better WITH Silly Sadie, I have no doubt whatsever! I just hope she's as happy living with me as I am living with her. A good gab session with a BFF, what a treasure! Gotta love those times.
Jazzy--how true is that saying--start cleaning to find something lost. How many things have I found that way! Do be sure to pace yourself at work. And I'm so glad you decided to stay home and enjoy your home, that must be such a great feeling. Good for you for putting an end to a long and sounds like troublesome work project. And paying off the mortgage, what a Christmas present for yourself!WOOT WOOT!! Yes, Sadie gave me a backrub with her paws!She was sleeping behind me, with her legs/paws against my back when she had a dream and was dream running. It felt pretty good! There is a pretty good storm moving in, but not supposed to dump as much as they've been saying. It's just starting now and was predicted to start last night. I'll take it easy going in, and coming home. Great article on spuds, thanks for sharing!
Goldie--I'm going to post little notes with "N M C,N M M" in various places in my office to remind myself to only worry about the things I have authority or control over. Emotions are running hi at work right now with the staffing being down and the holiday season being here. Got to keep myself out of the stuff that isn't mine. I did get my own work pretty well caught up yesterday, which feels good. OMG, your neighbor is posting about hearing rats??? I wonder if the house needs to be condemned! I'm with the others, don't help her clean, but if you do, be sure to wear a mask. Not one of the flat paper masks, but a formed mask like this:
alt="Image result for face mask for dust">not like this:
alt="Image result for isolation mask">It provides better protection than the flat paper masks. Rodent related illnesses are a real problem. Hantavirus Pulmonary syndrome, leptospirosis, lymphocytic chorio-meningitis, plague, tularemia are all present in the US. Did you know that there are average of 7 cases of plague in the US every year?
Chi--good heavens, what a trip home you had! All that fuss over a sealed and wrapped can of cavier, what is the world coming to? At least someone had some common sense and let you onyour way. Oh my goodness, what a crazy time the show must me, and what a catastrophe when the stage collapsed! And in front of all those lawyers!

Sandy, what an ordeal getting home. And then the guy in the seat in front of you! I'm always aware that there is someone behind me and rarely recline my seat. Being tall, I know how a reclining seat can make things a little more akward, especially crossing my legs. Got a chuckle about my neighbor having her troubles "behind" her!
NM, good idea to put up your sign and only you will know what it means, until someone asks you! I will NOT be helping her clean, I have my own health to worry about. She has made some bad choices in life, drugs, drinking and even jail. Her mother raised her daughter, and I know her mother would be so disgusted to see what her son has done to her home. I can't explain how disgusting the inside of the drawers are.

Mom, when she lived here made all of her own raised flower beds out of rocks from her land. She would roll them up on a dolly and move them to where they needed to be. Not sure when the son moved in with her, but he is a heavy drinker and a mean drunk. He went on a binge one time and tore up all her gardens, ripped out all of her veggies and flowers. She left because she was afraid for her life. And at one point, I had to go down there and get all the guns.

Hi ladies- just a quick note before I head out for an early apt before I head to work.
Chi- I am glad you made it back safely. And right in to rehearsals, I bet you are pooped sister.
Goldie- the reason I suggest these things is because I always seem to have people looking at me to do things for them would never sign up to do. I have an elderly neighbor who I know has dementia and has tried to get me to volunteer to clean up her yard, clean her house, etc. I usually will say things like "my cleaning company is Molly Maids, you should try them" or suggest she look on Nextdoor.com for a yard person. I say no and offer a suggestion to find that resource elsewhere. My neighbor is living on a fixed income, so she is looking for free. You have good boundaries around the situation sister and think you have been kind to offer the food. It is very sad what is happening for that family.
NM- the prime on the contract said they are going to notify the program manager about my plan to leave end of the month as originally scheduled. I was not approached yesterday so chances are, they are probably going to be sure they offer a replacement, should they want one. But I don't think they will, they will move it to someone internally in the group, that has always been the plan. I want to be able to tell my teams as soon as possible, which may not be until next week. And yes, the house pay off is on the horizon.
Hope everyone on the east coast survived the big storm yesterday, but it may still be going on too. Twisted Butternut wishes you a good day!

Goodness! Sandy, what an end to a great trip. My kids are landing in Chicago and have a long layover, but I worry about Customs. Fingers crossed! Backstage is always crazy, but sounds like you have it handled. Oh Goldie! My heart goes out to your neighbors. It is so sad how families get into these situations. You have a good heart and are strong enough to do the right thing. Mainer, a snow flurry here is enough to stop traffic! Too bad Sadie can’t drive.
Today I am finishing the Christmas shopping (I hope!) so I can start wrapping. Tomorrow I will go to the country and visit a dear friend. My kids get back from Paris and the grand dog will go home. Thursday is cards with my “old” ladies. Friday I should get chemo. I feel great so sickness is not a problem. Have a PET scan scheduled for the end of the month. Hopeful that shows no progression. Oh! Then Saturday, I am off to the mountains. Gossip, wine and good times!
Weather here is beautiful. Chilly, blue skies and calm winds. My younger son will come for dinner tonight. I am reading an interesting book about the IRA in Ireland, a murder and the history of the Catholic/Protestant conflict. Life is good right now and I am enjoying it.
Hope all are well

Mornin ladies,
LORI JUST KEEP AWAY. It's to bad tho what happened to her home, and YOU actually went to get the guns out. OMG . Well u know now so we don't have to worry about u, cuz u know better without us telling u. So we're all good and more than anything I like when ur feeling good.
HaHaHa Kim everyone will ask what that means, just say u forgot but those are ur favorite letters out of 26.That's why u used a couple more than once. And if they say ur crazy just say nope ur colorful. A nice message from Sadie, good going. Now she should get a double belly rub.
Jazzy great the way u have the whole year wrapped up like a Christmas present for urself. Proud and happy fr you. What a wonderful feeling it must be.
OMG Sandy just trying to get home from airports for u is a big chore. I was laughing cu in my mind there are people who actually get thru with illegal contraband then there's u trying to get some caviar home to enjoy. And now straight to rehearsals and shows. Ur a bundle of energy for sure. u should be proud of urself, in such a short time u've covered the world and now in a play. Take ur vitamins.
Well for now I'm twinkly dancer oh yea that fits. Jeez I thought this was Monday, it's not.
Hi to everyone and hope u all have a good day.

Jazzy's happy dance0 -
Good Morning, Loungettes!Happy Hump day! Our first major snow fall left us with a good couple feet of snow once it all got done. Very pretty, and going to be a very nice drive to work now that the roads have been cleared. Nothing like a white Christmas! Sadie's not quite so crazy about it, when she squats to pee she shivers all over! I would too, if my who-hah was down in the snow!
Goldie--those pictures don't really show what the history is. So scary when someone is violent in any way. I'm glad the Mom is safe and hope the other sister stays safe while taking care of the brother. So sad about the garden beds.
Jazzy--sounds like the prime is upset that you are sticking with the original contract. Too bad for him/her! Some people just seem to think that the contract is just a suggestion, and they should get whatever they want, whenever they want. I think it's good for them to not get their way sometimes!
Merry Shooting Star says Merry Christmas to everyone!
Librarian--You live such a busy life! Sounds like you need a social secretary! So happy you are feeling well and able to do all that in between chemo doses.
Cammy Cat--I'm planning to put the letters in places where I will see them, but other's won't particularly notice, and make them small. But if I have to explain, I'll just say it's to remind me not to get caught up in the drama, and stay focused on the work. There's lots of drama going on right now. Sadie definitely got an extra belly rub, and has been getting extra ones every night just because it's a good way to get the bed warmed up! Actually, she deserves it for all the putting up with me she does.

Jazzy, we don't have Molly Maids, but there are other resources. She has a phone and internet, she can take care of it. I'm afraid if I do or offer too much, she will rely on me for things and I don't want that. Like NM, not my circus. I not only gave her food, I gave her a pair of footie pajamas, sweat shirt and sweat pants, both too big for me. Containers to put food in and a small cooler. She saw a bunny under the house and now wants to buy rabbit and bird seed. I told her it would only bring in other critters.
JCS, you sound pretty busy as well. Love the gossip, wine and good times. Get it girl!
Cami yes, I'm stayiing away! Twinkly Dancer, I can just hear Chevy! Wish she would join us again.
NM, a couple feet of snow???? Oy vey. Yesterday on our news they said that our ski resort has the most snow in the country, but maybe not so now! The sister is not caring for the brother. He had friends pick him and take him to CA to get proper health care. He almost burst his bladder and has only had a catheter in. They had the fire dept come out to get him and then met an ambulance at the black top. Sister does not think he will be back. He has lived up here all by himself for 10 years. And I am positive Miss Sadie is just as happy with you, as you are her.
