How are you today?

@Kadee I think I won't grizzle today ;)

Got up at the buttcrack of dawn to make sausage, egg and cheese biscuits so that DSIL will have one (or two!) to take to work and one for whoever is working with him today. His center is hosting a tournament this weekend so he has to go in before the rooster 🐓crows.

Today is the day the temp starts going down in a big way. It rained last night and brought a cold wave with it. Frost tonight🥶.

Almost everything is cleaned up in the garden. DD still has things to do in hers so I guess I'll give her a hand. Beyond that, no plan.

Y'all have a great day of rest.
 

Wish I knew what all these TLAs (three letter acronyms) mean, such as DD, DSIL, and so on. They're not even three letter, are they? But I still don't quite understand what they mean. I suspect the DSIL is either the daughter or son in law, but can't be both of course. I also suspect the DD is the husband, but not entirely sure.

Regarding grizzle, I'm sure most Americans know what a grizzly bear is. It's the same root as grizzling. Anyone with a bad temper, or fed up and having a whinge or a moan, will understand what grizzling is, it's just the verb from the adjective 'grizzly'.
 
SIL could be son-in-law or sister-in-law. It gets really confusing if they have a unisex name like “Jesse.”

Then there‘s the “D.” I’ve ever only seen “DH” for “Dear Husband,” never just “H.” What if you’re mad at him? Come to think of it, I don’t think I’ve ever seen “DW.”

If you write, “DD and SIL,” will it cause a fight in the family because you didn’t call the SIL “dear”?

Here's a frequently updated list of acronyms used on this forum.
 
Having a great weekend. Our nearly 4 year old grandson was with us yesterday, then DD dropped off 13 year old GS and 10 year old GD and the kids all played together. So heartwarming and adorable watching the big kids stoop to his level of play, and to see his adoration of them shining in his eyes.

He went home early evening and the older kids spent the night. We watched K-Pop Demon Hunters with them last night and now understand what all the fuss is about among the younger set. Catchy music sung by talented singers and a group of empowered young women. I'll probably watch it again, next time with subtitles to discern all the dialog and lyrics.

DH & I have always tried to be informed of the music and trends spoke to our kids, and now our grandkids.

Time to fire up the waffle irons! They may be a bit older, but they nevertheless requested Micky Mouse waffles!

In my opinion any time a person uses an acronym or abbreviation they should spell it out the first time.

My dear daughter(DD) called today and said son-in-law (SIL) is out of town for the week.

Isn't that easy?
 
Yay! We're done in the garden. Can you even imagine? Some of the plants are overwintering in the garage, the rest of them? Hope for the best.

I've put out the plankets (plant blankets) and anchored one side so all I have to do before dark is go out and pull the other side over the plants and anchor that side. The only ones that will be covered are the mums because...well...because they're still full of buds and blooms and I wanna keep them for as long as possible.

It's supposed to start warming up toward the end of the week.
 
I used my humidifier two nights ago for the first time since last winter and woke up hacking and choking, and then had flu-like symptoms all day yesterday including a mild fever. I asked ChatGPT what could have caused it and it told me there might be mold in the humidifier, or perhaps it was because I used tap water instead of distilled water. I used tap water last winter without any problems, so there must be mold in the unit. I did clean it and didn't see any mold, but there could be mold I guess in some of the inner workings of it.

This humidifier is one of the ultrasonic types. It's quiet, but if it makes me sick, that kind of defeats the purpose!

I think I'm going to replace it with a steam vaporizer.
 
It's a good day here, so far.

The cool weather feels nice, first dog walk is complete, exercises are finished and I've had breakfast. I'm feeling like sewing... something. Or maybe blasting music on my headphones and coloring.

Husband is working a mid-shift today so we may be able to catch a hockey game tonight if he's up for it. Yesterday, I watched a recent Sharks vs. Kraken game on replay. Yeesh, that was brutal.

Wishing everyone a good Sunday. 🍁
