What's on your agenda for today?

A nose mitten, Butterfly. A nose mitten. My mother always said she was going to knit a nose mitten for me but never did. I wonder what a nose mitten would look like?

AprilT, glad you're okay, but geez! That's taking a big chance:(

Thanks, and I know I was taking a chance, next time, I will grab the bubble wrap secure myself in it first before I fall back to sleep. :D But then, the tornado didn't get me, but, I could have been kidnapped last night. as some strange man tried to pick me up, but, I just knew by the looks of the car's shape it couldn't be my uber ride.

Nothing to do today but twiddle my fingers and read, read, read, but at least I have a great selection to choose from.

Happy Monday all!
 

Well, I just spent an interesting few minutes on the line with my cell phone provider. A $288 credit has shown up on my account and the fact that I have no idea where this credit has come from doesn't faze them. They're most insistent that I have ported our phone numbers from another service that I most certainly didn't port them from and thus am eligible for a credit. I can't pay my phone bill because of the credit (which I fully expect to disappear at any minute without warning).

Stay tuned. If you see a mushroom-shaped cloud rising over Central Florida it will be me shortly after they take the credit away and claim I haven't paid my bill. Arrrrgggghhhh.
 
It snowed a bit here overnight, with more expected to come later today. Too cold and yucky to be out and about so I am watching Nurse Jackie on Net flicks and studying up on the TV show Squidbillies, a designated category for tomorrow nights trivia to be held at a local pub. Each of my teammates chose a different topic to familiarize themselves with. Other topics are Dodgeball, the movie, Iowa, Tim Curry films and yearbook pictures of famous people and five others that none of us can remember and all thought was written down by other members.
 
Where the heck have I been? I must just read and forget to reply.

More life in the fast lane for me today. Scoop the litter box, carry the trash to the curb, eat breakfast, make the bed, think of something to occupy my time. I have a new book. I should read and expand my mind. Or something.

Lol...Georgia, your fast lane life sounds a lot like mine.
 
Jackie, I made an executive decision to make this a jammie day, something I have NEVER done before. It's noon. I'm still in jammies and robe! I did brush my teeth and comb my hair, though, but only because I had to carry the trash to the curb. What made me think that if the neighbors saw me in my robe it would be okay as long as my hair was combed is anybody's guess:)

The new book hasn't been opened yet, but I did some coloring in my grown-up coloring book.

I should probably just stop this frenetic pace.

Lol, you are a funny lady.....I usually put on a big coat over the gown on trash day, probably fools no one.
 
I don't have a big coat, just a big robe. It doesn't even have any coffee stains on it yet because it's new. Because it's new and clean, it keeps me from looking like Maxine or Auntie Acid.
 
We've been at our daughter's since Monday. Helping her turn her guest room into an art room. So after this we'll have to use crash pads in the art room or sewing room or sleep on the sectional. She gave us the beds out of there so we are taking them home and pushing them together and making a king size bed to replace our queen size. Now the dogs won't be on my side of the bed. My husband is swiffering the floors in the house now and I'll clean the bathrooms and then in the morning we'll go home. Last night our youngest son and his wife brought over Mediterranean food. We've had a nice time while we were here. So back to the mountains for me. I'll miss everyone here and spending time in the big city. We'll be back in Feb as she's having more surgery and the Dr said she can't drive for 4 months. That seems odd for shoulder surgery but we'll wait and see. That's why she wanted the art room in the house so she can just walk in and do one handed art whenever she wants too.
 
Linda, there's a thingie that you can buy that's a long strip of something or other that doesn't slip to put head-to-foot between the two mattresses to keep them together as "one" bed so that you can use king-size bed linens on it. I'd guess you can find them on line at a place like Bed Bath & Beyond. I don't know what they're called so can't figure out what to ask Google for. Duh.

That's so nice, Linda. I'll bet they appreciate you so much. I had shoulder surgery early last year - rotator cuff repair (two torn ligaments). A recovery time of 4 months is not unusual...so many moving parts in the shoulder, and very easy to re-injure.
 
FazeFour, it sounds like that's a very painful situation. She caused her damage by lifting a big suitcase full of shoes she was taking on just a week end trip to Vegas. She said she learned a valuable lesson.

Georgia, I have seen those things online you are talking about. I don't want one though. I want the dogs to think these are 2 separate beds. My husband does have a plan of something he's going to do to attach the beds together from the bottom though. I think I'll be able to use twin or king sheets on it. I'll let you know next week. :)
 
I'm hoping to get some sewing done today. Working on a cosplay costume for my daughter-in-law. Don't know if any of you know who Deadpool is...it's a character in a comic book series. I got the body suit done over a month ago, and now just have the pull-over mask-hood thingy. The problem is I've been having a lot of neck pain the past couple of weeks, and a general feeling of muscle fatigue, and this mask is a challenge. Has to be skin tight without squishing her face, and Deadpool doesn't have a mouth so I need to figure out a way for it to open and close at the bottom so she can eat and drink without removing the mask. When my DIL performs at these cosplay events, she's often out on the floor for 3-6 hours at a stretch. She's done Deadpool before, in a costume she ordered online, but has actually become dehydrated because it doesn't have a way for her to even get a straw to her mouth. Today's a good day to sew because the sun is shining, so lots of light coming in. A really beautiful day!

I should go load up on some vitamins and supplements.
 
Busy soothing feathers down here. The Spousal Equivalent and his younger son got into a tiff over the phone today (long story, not very interesting to anyone outside the family but the younger son is being a butt-head and the SE is being stubborn). I would be perfectly happy if I didn't have to have anything to do with that part of his family ever again. I just feel sorry for the SE, though. He tries the best he can.
 
Its January, a difficult month to get through, not surprised people get into tiffs -- I seem to be energy-challenged today, although I have things I would like to be doing, its just not happening, maybe try again after a little nap.
 
FazeFour, what does cos stand for? I know what play means of course. :) I just wrote and lost this message so I hope it doesn't show up twice on here. Anyway, around here cos stands for a college my grandkids go to so that's probably why it's confusing me. It's nice of you to make the costume for your DIL.

Jujube, don't you hate getting stuck in the middle of family arguments? Or maybe you aren't really in the middle, you just have to hear about it and see your man sad and upset about it. Whatever, it's not fun. :( Once, about 15 years ago, our second oldest son and my husband got in an argument over the phone about something to do with a car. I think it had to do with what sort of a grill or front end this or that year of whatever car had. Anyway, they slammed down the phones and didn't talk for over a year.

Cos = Costume. She performs at cosplay conventions, like ComicCon, WizardCon, SacAnime. Her "job" is to be available for photographers, interact with convention attendees, and occasionally help at sales counters. She's a pretty popular player because she is quite beautiful, is 6'1", and built like an amazon...basically, she looks like a female comic book illustration.

Julie Lin.jpgThis is her at a SacAnime event, as a gaming character called Chun Li.
 
Not looking forward to a task we have to do today - immigration office to extend our tourist visa by 30 days. Dozens and dozens will also be there and it's very disorganized with no obvious queues. We got a 60 days visa in Glasgow before we left and there is no such thing as 90 day non-immigrant visa. At least there is a cafe across the road to wait in. I'll bring my kindle and smartphone.
