We might have...hard to tell through the clouds and fog.

It's warm again today. 62.

Time for me to get a wiggle on and get to work. The stuff that didn't get done yesterday has to be done first thing. Eek. NL will be there today, though, so that will help a lot. And it's supposed to be Sir's day off, but he said he'll be in.

Later, folks. @hollydolly Take names!

Pepper, do not give up. There must be a way for you to get transportation in that city. I have to think on this and will try to research it. Whatever you do, do not let the hat thing affect you. Can you invite your grandson to your apartment so instead of you having to travel to him he can be brought to your home?

How are your kitties doing? Put on some music on and pamper them. I know from experience cats are mood changing balls of fur. Positive thoughts only!

I'd let her know that was cruel. Maybe even unforgivable.
Did you tell her that? (Does she even care?)
edit: "My DIL definitely should know this."
Ok, so maybe she doesn't know, and you need to tell her. Is that a problem? You can tell her, right?

I tell her nothing. We speak through my son. This is the way she wants it, not me. We never speak. I've known her since 2008. A couple of years after knowing her well, and they were on the brink of becoming engaged I asked her to go clothes shopping with me. The look of fear that formed on her face! She told me to go shopping with my son.

She is obsessed with her own mother, her mother's way of doing things. She (dil) is a successful woman, extremely well liked, with many friends. It appears I'm her only problem in life.
 
It was raining this morning, though maybe it has stopped now. I was hoping it would not rain or snow today because I have to walk to my hair salon a little before noon. It is not far but I will be using my walker and I cannot carry my umbrella. No matter what I will get there.

So going to make an earlier than usual breakfast. Not doing much else as this walk, though not far, will exhaust me by the time I get back home after the appointment.
 
Our biggest problem these days, is repeating ourselves with the same and as time flies by, the answers aren't coming yet.

It's 7 years since son has passed away, questions remain. Too soon, it'll two years husband has gone as well. There too, questions go unanswered.

Thankfully, it's Friday, so, weather and health will improve and we can go pickup the groceries over the weekend...

Sorry, 😭 I'm feeling unwell today...blood pressure was really low this morning...
 
Today has been a gloriously sunny day.

My friend and I went to the pub to have a Burns supper lunch..which is the traditional Scottish Fayre of Haggis , Neeps and Tatties.. but one chain of Pubs in England serve this dish up the whole of January to celebrate The Scottish Poet, Rabbie Burns birthday..

They served it with a whisky sauce, I hate whisky but it was delicious in the haggis..

I dropped off a bag of donations to the charity shop first.. and I have a second bag waiting to go perhaps tomorrow...

Meant to check my oil and water in the car today, and totally forgot.. must try and remember to do it this weekend
 
I'm home, and guess what? I'm tired. Surprising, isn't it? ;) All three of us were there this morning working like plow horses and still not all caught up. If people would just quit eating, or at least quit shopping for a couple of days...

It's overcast and very warm again, but the rain is supposed to hold off until tonight. Fine. That means I sat outside on the teeny, tiny patio and can again later. Yay.

A nap is in order🛌
 
Yesterday I had a wonderfully long (2-1/2 hour) phone call with my BFF who I've known since we were 11. Time flew as we laughed and talked about all manner of things and caught up with each other's lives. Hadn't touched base since the holidays so it was well past time to do so.

A local charity's thrift store texts me every two months to advise their truck will be in the area on X date, should they stop at my house to pick anything up? They were particularly looking for clothing and shoes this go-round. DH & I boxed up fit samples and other brand-new apparel that we're unlikely to need again for our business. Boxes were picked up from our driveway and a receipt was in our mailbox. Easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy.

Hoping to have them pick up again next go-round.
 
Today would have been my parent's 72nd wedding anniversary. I called my Mom this morning, and sang:
"🎵🎶I know where you were, 72 years ago! 🎶🎵!"
She had to think about it for a minute, then she shouted" is today the 26th?!!!! It turns out that she was not paying attention to what today's date was.

She reminisced about what the weather was like that day, and where she had gotten her dress, etc. We had a few good laughs...something that we don't do nearly often enough!!

She was so happy that I reminded her. I think it made her day! (and mine too!)

On the topic of 'crisis', Rose, I'm seeing on TV news this morning some visuals revealing how storms have wreaked some severe havoc in New England. How are you doing in that respect, in Connecticut?

We're ok here so far, thanks. We've had 2 snowstorms; one rather large and another pretty small, but icy. Lots of rain! But thankfully my area was not hit bad. It may snow Sunday, we'll see. Yesterday it was in the 50's.
 
I went to the Aldi and my produce store this morning to replenish fruits, veggies, etc. It's a gorgeous day - high of 73.

The next few days are supposed to be in the high 70s, but starting Wednesday night the forecast shows eight solid days of rain. That's A LOT of rain for So Cal. Hoping some of the storms disintegrate or shift direction en route so we don't have flooding.

Lately I've been getting to some deeper cleaning around the house, but after about an hour per day my ribs and back start complaining too loudly to ignore.

There are always little chores and food prep to keep me out of mischief though. Not that I'm one to avoid a little mischief when opportunities present themselves...

Although 2024 is just starting, it’s already been a great year. I was able to fly to El Salvador and bring back my daughter and two grandkids back here. Her husband is still waiting for legal immigration approval (been two years). As her health was in dire straights, it was time to come back. She has been a missionary there for nine years. After just a week, I can already see improvement. Yeah, the house is upside down, but it’s worth it. This year, 2024, has been a blessed year.

Your poor ribs, Star. Here...try this. Slather on and marinate for 30 minutes. Should help.
