What are you doing today?

[Pepper]

Love those window icicles!

 

[hollydolly]

well they don't show up too well on my phone.. they're very fine.. almost like string...

 

[Pepper]

For my grandson, I hope it snows this year. I don't think we had more than one little snow last year. My grandson is growing up during climate change, I really see the difference in our weather.

 

[Georgiagranny]

@hollydolly Wow! That's a lotta ice. I should quit whining about overcast sky and rain...

Hair is the right shade of blue now.

Bed is made.

Litter box is clean.

Showered. Get dressed now just in case there's somewhere to go?

Dig Christmas decorations outta the closet and put some out? Maybe it'll make me feel Christmas-y.

Thinking about making Spritz and refrigerator cookies. So far it's only in the thinking stage. I hate to rush into anything.

 

[CinnamonSugar]

Had a cuppa tea and a piece of toast, now back in bed listening to some of the seasonal sections of Handel’s Messiah (He shall Feed His Flock / For Unto Us a Child is Born)…. Gentle on the ears and the soul

if this cold hasn’t eased off in a day or two I’m off to the clinic. Tired of feeling like death warmed over

 

[Georgiagranny]

It's a good thing I got dressed because DD needed to pick something up from the garden center. I went along to get some of that stuff that kills the weeds, not the lawn. Now it needs to quit raining so I can kill the dollar weed before it takes over.

Then we went to Publix so DGD could get stuff for breakfast. So far it's scrambled eggs, biscuits and gravy, bacon, sausage, hash browns and a fruit bowl. I won't need to eat again until a week from Wednesday.

I finally tested negative yesterday for COVID yesterday after being positive and sick for nearly ten days so today I am going to wash my bedding and do a thorough cleaning of my place.

 

[StarSong]

Shared my first cup of coffee with you all this morning. Now it's time to get myself in gear for the party. People start arriving in a little under four hours.

Broke out some of my mom's beautiful cup and saucer collection for those who will be drinking tea or coffee. Washed and dried them yesterday to freshen them up. So lovely - and it brings Mom into today's celebration.

got some Ice Webs in the garden on the hedges, the shed and the fence...

 

[Been There]

I am going to a basketball game in D.C. I don’t know who is playing. I received a call yesterday morning from a friend asking if I would go along with him to this game today. I don’t know anything about it. He wants to try to talk to the cheerleader’s trainer and needs someone to give him emotional support. Now that’s sad.

 

[Pappy]

Got up 5:30 this morning, had breakfast and put together my world famous, , chicken stew. This time I loaded it lots of veggies and chicken. Only problem is…I have to smell it cooking all day.

 

[jujube]

Going to a dance recital this evening. I'm sure it will be....uh....enthralling. And long. But that's what Meemaws do.

 

[Jules]

Going to dust and then put out a few Christmas Ornaments. We’re having company for dinner on Tuesday. These are the ones on Joel Fuhrman’s diet. It makes it a challenge. I spent an hour yesterday searching for an interesting dessert. I really want to make a Bacardi Rum cake. Sigh.

 

[Disgustedman]

Still suffering. Shower, breakfast, coffee. Aspirin, yeahhhhhhh

 

[Mizmo]

Snow overnight and roads are messy. I was planning my once a week grocery shop but now forget it.!!
Wishing now I had done it yesterday when I nipped out for gas.

The roads are in good shape but parking lots for shops are a disaster especially now that I have to use my little shopping cart.
The walker is a dead loss for grocery shopping trips.
I find the big ones in the stores way too heavy for me now.
Anyone else have that trouble?
Some of the stores have the smaller two level ones but they are always snapped up by old biddies like me and seldom available.
So ..... I will do some general housework for about five minutes , then settle down to my favourite pastime with a visit to SF now and again to see what you lot are up to.


Have the best day you can y'all......

 

[hollydolly]

@Mizmo we have 2 main shopping trolleys in our supermarkets.. the deep ones.. thus..

..and the shallow ones

I always use the Shallow ones because my back hurts leaning into the bottom of the Depper ones to lay everything out at the checkout..

..however I get irritated at Costco..because their regular trolleys are waaaayyy tooo deep and way to heavy to easily manoeuvre

I wish they would introduce shallower trolleys /Cart.. for those of us who don't need to push a great big cart around for 4 or 5 things

Oh I like that shallow one...wish we had those.
This is our smaller one, still needs bending but easier to push than the monsters

 

[Sliverfox]

Lunch is over,, clothes need taken out of dryer.

An extension cord has to be hunted up if I want to finish cleaning the basement.
One step from the bottom & shop vac came tumbling down.
No damage to it or me.

 

[Kaila]

that new person who was supposed to start "soon"? The one who's a retiree from a different Kroger bakery? Well. Management dragged their feet for so long that she got tired of waiting and told 'em to fuggedabouddit and went to work in another store instead.

oh m'gosh! That place should win an award. Just not sure what type of award, we could possibly give to your employer!

 

[hollydolly]

It's snowing hard... and laying thick...

 

[Georgiagranny]

It's pretty in the pictures. I wouldn't want to live in it ever again

DSIL just tested positive for Covid. 10 more minutes before I can read mine. Fingers crossed that I'm negative, but we spent a lot of time together working on my laptop and the tablet after supper yesterday.

The whole family laughs at me because I mask up everywhere I go. Like that helps? Others are protected from me, but if they aren't masked, I'm not protected from them

Isn’t there a tongue-in-cheek award called The Razzie (?)

Me too. The carts are huge. Some specialist must have done a study that decided huge, empty carts inspire us to shop more.

 

[Georgiagranny]

Test is negative, but...I have appt for mammogram and ultrasound on Wed. They might not want me to come in since I've been exposed, even though I've been vaxxed and boosted.

It never fails that if I take a big cart, it stays empty! If I take one of those little baskets you can carry, there's always too much and it's too heavy. If I take neither? I'm in a world of hurt with purchases and have to go back and get a cart!
