Happy birthday Silverfox, reaching the age of 80 is indeed a great achievement.

Happy Birthday🎂 I've been using that recipe since...maybe the 50s? Truly! Hot Fudge Pudding Cake is a much-requested dessert at our house, and the peeps under this roof raised Cain because there was never enough so when I make it, I have to double the recipe. It's especially good when served a little warm with a scoop of French vanilla or vanilla bean ice cream.
 
Tuesday was concert/travel day, yesterday was collapse and recover day and today was catch up on laundry/shopping, etc, before going back to work tomorrow. My Prince Among Men came for a visit today as well and we went out for lunch. At first I said I'd like a salad at Wendy's (Americus is not big on fine dining, more's the pity) but when we walked in, they wanted $7.50+ for a *half* salad! Dad-gum! And it's really not worth it. So we each had a hamburger.

Now I've finished an all vegetable supper to balance out all that meat (ugh) and I'm sitting on the screened-in porch listening to the bird's chirping turn into crickets' trilling. I've been reading a book called "The Little Women Letters" by Gabrielle Donnelly and really enjoying it.

Y'all have a lovely weekend!

Yanno what? I'm so far down that I'd have to reach up to tie my shoelaces. Blue. I'm blue. And yanno what else? Blue is a color that I positively loathe. I don't care if it is the most popular color in the world. When I was a little girl my mother told me that blue made me look jaundiced.

whassamatter GG?..is it the job ?...dya wanna gather a crew from here and we'll come and sort them out ?
 
@hollydolly I'm way past workplace intrigue, back-biting, gossip, silly invented personality conflicts, jealousy, perceived threats to others' jobs...the lot of it. I really don't know how much more I can take of it, but I really want the $$ so that I can pay for oral surgery. It's beyond expensive. Maybe I'd just rather be a toothless old hag.

Oops. Forgot to add gaslighting. That's beyond annoying.

Very sorry for your blue-on-blue day, @Georgiagranny
:cry:💌💌💌

You are so right...you don't need all that grumpy negativity, they create, at this point in your life..... and yet, it is understandable that the income helps. :confused:

Today I am getting a new toilet so I cleaned everything out of the bathroom that may be in the way while he works in there. Put my mobile chair out in the hallway along with my shopping cart. Plenty of room in there now. I have needed this ever since I moved in. Yes, it is the little things that matter.

I remember how excited my Mom was last year when she got a new toilet seat.....you're getting a whole new commode!!!! Good for you, you must be ecstatic!!! 😁
 
I have 3 different news apps on my tablet. Back in January of 2021, I got disgusted and pretty much stopped going to all of them. I removed myself from the negativity.

Yesterday, my friend is Scotland was upset about the current events, so I decided that I should get back into the loop, and start going to my news apps again.

So this morning, coffee in hand, and I went to the first one. As I expected, there was no good news....there never is. 😢

I ended up going back to playing my game for about 20-30 minutes. Even though I didn't make any progress, the game was much more relaxing.

Now, I'm going to make breakfast. Then I'll try the next news service app. (sigh) My expectations are low.
 
These past several days it has been way too bitter cold and snowy to really do much of anything outside for me. I have just been hunkered down inside my home with some warm drinks and others that keep me warm like Wine and my Cat. I have just been keeping myself busy by watching old TV shows and listening to music and coming on here from time to time.

It sounds very much like my days. Sitting around, waiting for spring! 🌺🌻🌸🌷🌼
 
Today has been a gloriously sunny day ..and I had to be at the Dentist for 9am 2 towns away.. and as I predicted the traffic was horrible.. and it took me much longer to get there than it would normally. The flip side of the coin is, that I was first in, and as there was only one dentist.. I was the one who was holding up the other patients who came after me,,,for a change..it's usually me waiting way past my appointment time....I did feel guilty, but then it's not my fault.. and in a way I'm pleased the dentist takes the proper time to see to my teeth , rather than rushing..as the NHS ones tend to do...

After the dentist I drove to a different town, in a different county to get a couple of stores we don't have here in this area.. .. took my time because the weather was so lovely, had a little wander around HomeSense while I was there, and picked up some Jade coloured pasta bowls....and some more Pot Pourri Perfume Sachets, this time in White Lily ... the aroma is gorgeous...

Got some shopping to add to the freezer. just 5 or 6 things, good thing I didn't get any more, I just managed to get the stuff to fit in, and still leave a little space between items..

I was going to take my car and have it washed afterwards, but by the time I'd been throgugh all of that my back was breaking so I might take it tomorrow.. I just wish we had a car wash in this town, and I didn't have to travel to the next town to have it done..

So far I've taken Mac out twice.
The rain , snow storm isn't as bad as forecast,,, yet.

Had to watch where one steped,, ice hidden under the thin layer of snow.

Hubby
s helper came in to drop off a card for me.
We chatted & watched Mac keep a balloon in the air.

Good exercise for the dog till he breaks the balloon,,, then he wants to eat its remains :oops: !
 
When I stepped out last evening for a walk around the block. the neighbor across the street came over and said he had his snowblower working and would "do me". It was noon today and no avtivity at his house, so I went out and shoveled. I'd say it was between 6 and 7 inches then and it's still snowing, but at least those 6 inches have been removed.
