Night Owl's Hangout

PamfromTx said:
How are my night owl friends doing this lovely day/night? Hope everyone is doing well. As for hubby and I, we are both well. Watching movies his sister has recommended. Watching "Truly Texas Mexican" and frankly, I am bored to tears. lol o_O

My husband and his sister were raised in a border city (Eagle Pass, Texas); raised by their grandparents when their mother was killed in a car accident. Helping to raise them were two Mexican women who were the live in maids. So, both my hubby and his sister learned to speak Spanish ~ fluently. I am ashamed to speak my Tex Mex in front of them. My sister in law loves to cook and can cook up some pretty good authentic Mexican dishes. How does she weigh 98 lbs?

Well, just a tidbit of our lives to entertain my friendly night owls. Have a great day.

This dedicated Night Owl is doing fine and after my ice cream (and some of Ruthanne's cookies), I slept like a baby after 3AM. I would like to get beyond sleeping in two sessions at night, but if I get good sleep at both times I am good to go.
I spent most of my childhood growing up about a mile from the Rio Grande near the town of Ysleta which is to the Southeast of ElPaso. I worked in the fields with the Mexican Laborers who came up under the Bracero program to do farm work. My Spanish is reasonable good, but I am losing it from lack of usage. I spent four years in Spain where it came in very handy.

I really like that cartoon you posted above.

It is unfortunate that I was raised so differently ... in that my mother spoke Tex-Mex and that is what we learned. I had a difficult time with Spanish I, II, III in high school. That cartoon made my day; glad you enjoyed it, @Pecos . I am not all that familiar with the area around El Paso. I've driven thru it, but that's about it.
 
The biorhythms of us all vary so much. I have noticed that ever since I retired and didn't have the 9 to 5, that I have become a Night Owl.

I took Spanish 1, 2, and 3 in college because I needed it as a prerequisite after not graduating high school but only getting a GED. I loved learning it but don't recall much of what I learned from lack of practice....😬

It's nice to see so many have visited our Night Owl's Hangout!

Happy Friday to all!

I finally got to the Orthopedic Doctor today. My tendinitis is, in part, from having the injured tendon that I got last year and partly from repetitive thumb movement. So, I'm going to try to remember to use the "pen" that comes with my cell phone instead of my thumb and also wear the new brace as much as possible. She also gave me a stronger cortisone shot. Right now the area hurts a lot. In addition to all that I will be going to Occupational Therapy for it in several weeks. She gave me the option of surgery but I turned that down.

I've made some French Country-Style Almond Macaroons for all who would like some:

I will leave them on the virtual counter top and there are plenty so have all you'd like people!

Thank you, I've had it since March of 2020. It's been a real pain in the rear! Hopefully, something that the doctor did for me today will make it heal--I don't know how long it will take but the sooner the better. My tendon is in my thumb and wrist and also my entire right arm is sore from from guarding my hand. It's hard to explain but hopefully the Occupational therapy will get me all healed! :D
