Hi hermits- well, I got the beginnings of the table set for the holiday dinner. I had to do some re-arranging of the dining room area, as I have it differently for the winter months with all the plants I have to move indoors for the winter. They live there until the warmer months as it gets good light there. Looks like a greenhouse for sure, but think I got things where they need to be. I will set the dishes and the rest closer to the time, just got the table cloth place mats, etc. on the table so that is done. Still lots to do here at the house today, but a cold day outside and a good day for indoor things.
Mags- yes I do have a busy week ahead. Working three days, plus three prof networking events Tue-Thurs. Important for me to keep putting myself out there right now for new work opps for next year. I may opt out of the Wed night one though as I realized it is a bit much. The Tues and Thurs ones are must dos though. One is the morning, and one in the evening. I don't like to be out too many evenings in a row (just cannot sustain that energy wise).
I hope your apts go well tomorrow and you get to and from safely.
Mommy- well, I am sorry about your kitty. Sometimes things happened like this unexpectedly. I hope you can make today and easy day.
Lily- so glad to hear you had a good chat with a friend who can just listen. My best friend still lives in my home state and is always able to listen to whatever is going on without judgement. It sounds like it really helped you. It is important to be heard when going through difficult times. I hope that friend is going to keep in touch with you.
It sounds like we got a bunch of snow here last night. High today will only be 40. Cold for here.

Called the shelter where we got him and they have some kittens there. They said they had a 8 week old black male kitty, hoping he will still be there this weekend.

Teka- so jealous, I love the Vermont Country Store. I get there catalog and have not ordered anything lately, but do look.......
Mommy- a nice 8 week old kitten waiting for you. I bet he will be there this weekend. We will want a picture too, we love kittens here. My sister ended up with a sweet little black cat, and I told my sister her name should be Onyx, and it took! It will not replace the love you had for your other dear feline, but will be a furry little something to love.....
It has been very cold today and windy today (in the 30s but high winds make it feel so bitter), so I did not go out in the end. I did a lot of things around the house and getting better order around here. Finishing a status report for work tonight, plus a few other things I did not get done end of the week as planned.
I talked to a friend in town today who just got diagnosed with endometrial cancer. She is having surgery in early December, and has been told her cancer is a particularly aggressive kind, so they are going to throw everything at it- surgery, chemo and rads. I told her I am going to bring her some high protein foods for healing when she gets home from the hospital and will be someone she can tap into for picking up scripts and the like if she needs things like that done. She said she is spending a lot of time trying to make others feel better about what is going on (I remember that part only too well.....)
I hope everyone stayed warm today and/or enjoyed the snow if you got some this weekend. Looks like there were lots of football games on today.

M0mmyof2 Hope you will be able to enjoy a new kitten soon

Jazzygirl, I am still working to find a way around the stores without

To all the other wonderful people here, thinking of You and praying that all
is getting better. God bless You.

hey there everybody hope you had a nice weekend. Jazz you sure are busy either in the house or out of the house
Sorry bout charcoal, i am still also looking 4 another kittdn, the right one just hasnt come along. I can't go to the SPCA or any other kind of place that you can get them from because you have to fill out an application and you have to take your order lease and it has to say that you can have animals on my mind since you can't although I have 3
Yes had a good time down the shore will go back in may probably, twice a year usually

Good morning hermits- it's in the teens here this morning and here it is a whopping 1 degree up in northern NM right now. So baby it's cold outside here too.
Waking up with a lot of sinus congestion today. I hope I am not getting a sinus infection. Might be what I just call the "furnace is running now" congestion.
Mommy- I hope your husband feels better. Lots of crud starting to go around now.
Getting ready to head to the client site for work today. Wishing everyone a good day.

Very bad ice conditions here, so I cancelled my appointments. News reports said don't go out if you don't have to, so I won't. DH headed to a meeting at one of his offices, normal ten minute drive took 45. Meeting cancelled, he came home to work from here. Ice is the pits. Except in a gin & tonic.

Good morning hermits- jazzy definitely has a virus going on and is staying home and will do some work from home instead of going to the client site today. The sinus thing did not clear up as the day went on, and I felt worse so I left mid afternoon. Came home to nap and also slept a lot last night. Nothing bad, just something that is telling me to SLOW DOWN and rest, so I am.
Blondie- so am I hearing this right, the twins are making the turkey for Thanksgiving????
Mommy- you cracked me up with the "as cold as my MIL's heart." I have a SIL like that! It is in the teens here this morning.
Teka- glad Teka did well at the vet. I bet she was glad to get home!

lol
Well, its true!

Mommy- my SIL is a high demand person. She has been through some really hard things in life from the loss of two husbands to bc. She has softened only a bit, but is very materialistic and competitive and always looking to analyze and judge everyone else's life and play the one up game. In other words, despite all those difficult situations, not much changed. Because the leopard does not change their spots. Perhaps true of your MIL too? Some people show us in life what not to be.......

when people tell you who they are believe themno Jazzy my oldest son and one of the twins, Michael is lazy!!!

Jazzy, MIL is just plain nasty and hateful. She has always resented my hubby and his siblings for many reasons.

Good morning hermits- feeling better today and will go out into the world this afternoon for some errands and a haircut.
Mommy- well that is too bad. She sounds like a miserable person. I have known mothers who resent their children. Your husband sounds like a good guy, and he takes good care of you.
Teka- I am watching the Buffalo snow story on the Today show right now. I remember spending time in upstate NY as a kid (near Cazenovia) and seeing the plow paths with 6-8 feet of snow on each side of the road. They say more snow is coming to that area. Those poor people!
Blondie- well that sounds good that the older son is leading the way and teaching the younger one. I hope the turkey is tasty!

hi hermies, I have been lurking and laying low. Friday is my last chemo. I've been cooking and enjoying it. So far I made a meatloaf, a dump cake, and tonight I'm making pot roast that takes about six hours in the oven. It's such a relief to be able to cook because I love doing it and it really relieves my anxiety. Going to freeze a bunch of many meals. Tomorrow should be pork tenderloin, and baked chicken breasts! Doin lobster tails or something different for thanksgiving....
Anyway I hope you're all doing good. Sorry for those snowed in or iced in. My friend lives in Maine and she goes through it every year and hates it. Bippy has never been in snow!

Bippy- I am glad you are almost done with chemo and doing some cooking. I hope this final one goes smoothly. Will you do rads after this or are you done after chemo?
Good night my friends. Sunset photo from the bosque del apache where I am taking the fam the day after Thanksgiving.
