Yes perhaps.. you may well be right... but why the dogs I wonder.. why not feed the dogs, and why the dogs that have all passed in the last few years, and not the current one who are elderly.. ?.. all rhetoric questions of course.. :unsure:

Dreams are interesting and can be interpreted in so many different ways. I find them fascinating. The dogs you lost represent something else, maybe it's their connection to the past when life was happier? Hopefully 2023 will be a great year for you :)
 

When I first woke up this morning it was 3am,went back to sleep next thing I knew it was 7:15am
I took my usual 1st walk of the day before breakfast,went to convient store 2 blocks away to get some OJ
My mid morning walk went around the block, temp was 38. My afternoon stroll,walked to the mailbx down the street& back temp was 42. I hope to get in an early walk in tomorrow before this 'mega storm' moves into WNY area time to 'hunker down'.

I have a little problem. There's way too much 💵 in my checking account. I've done the math a zillion times and don't find an error and checked my online statement against my own calculations and still don't find an error. Checked my budget to make sure that I deducted everything that's not due yet to make sure that I've allowed for upcoming online payments. Nope. It comes out right to the penny🪙...the 🪙 that I don't dare spend or transfer to my EF.

Have I mentioned that I don't do numbers?:rolleyes: Good thing I don't work for a bank🏦

Maybe you got a credit on something and forgot to add it back in? Maybe it did not show up on the printed account statement?
 
Been home all day , dozed for 3/4 of an hour sitting on the sofa due to the lack of sleep last night.

I really didn't want to fall asleep because it could cause a knock on effect for me tonight, and I definitely want to get out to the stores tomorrow.. but of course because it's going to be a dry sunny day, everywhere will be packed out, and therefore I need to go as early as I can..if I do go...
 
Everything was going great until we needed to move the 3-drawers unit out of room, in order to put Christmas decorations up.

I picked up my end of item, daughter was going down the stairs first. Whoops, I missed the before last step and down I went flip-flopping under the unit. Daughter got scared and I burst into laughter. Hurt foot, back and the impact ran up and gave me a headache.

Decorations are in room now and we're building them up on Friday. Last minute deliveries by daughter to Avon customers then wishing for a few snowflakes for Christmas weekend.

I'll definitely be black and blue, sore all over by tomorrow, no doubt. Watching "Christmas Vacations" with Chevy Chase, then wrapping presents and watching a few YouTube videos before it'll be 2 more sleep till Christmas.

Hope you didn't get hurt too badly!
 
Since the snow will start and the weather will be warmer on Friday, I figured I get the bread today before it got busy. I sure wasn’t wearing my thinking cap when I made that plan. The bread store was packed. Had to drive around the parking lot to find a spot.

I still need to do a final shop tomorrow. Want to do it early. Bet my logic that it’ll be quiet is wrong too.
 
Have made the sauce for a lasagna. Getting to par boil the noodles. Then it is the hated shredding of the cheese. I like to use a nice fresh block of mozzarella. The preshredded stuff is just not as doing it your own. I think I need to think about a new food processor. Just feels silly to have one for just a few things.

Still have sausage balls and stuffed mushrooms but those will wait until tomorrow. Just making a bunch of things I can do and then freeze in portions to enjoy until after new years at least.

The cold front has arrived, currently 16 degrees here. The two littles run to get their potty done. The big dog is out there running around like a maruading wild buffalo all the while barking in joy!! I am staying quite toasty in sweats and winter robe and only have the heat at 62 degrees. They say they have the grid under control but I prefer to be cautious. I sure don't want rolling blackouts that we had last year. Stay warm, stay well!!
 
I ran around in the rain today. Boy, was it cold and windy, but a girl's got to do what she's got to do! I went out to the farm to pick up the lamb I ordered for Christmas Day dinner and had a long chat with the farmer. I wish that it wasn't so difficult for these small farmers to make a living. The government doesn't help them. They'd like to see them go out of business, so we'd all have to eat nothing but engineered "food." Yuk. Then I thought, why not go by the candy store and treat myself to some exotic handmade truffles and chocolate-dipped glacé fruits? So I did! 😊Then to the egg farm for a couple of dozen eggs because I still have some cookies to make and need them for a baked French toast casserole I'll have Christmas morning. Then to the grocery store for clams, calamari, organic half-and-half, and unsalted butter. Well, there was no half-and-half of any kind and no organic unsalted butter, but I did manage to snag a couple of pounds of salted. That'll have to do. I finally got everything I needed for Christmas.

I still have a lot to do, so I'm glad I won't have to leave the house except to bring in the mail and retrieve my trash bins.

I came home and put everything away. Dinner was mushroom bisque, a couple of slices of toasted baguette, and a cucumber and onion salad. Later, I'll have a couple of the lovely chocolates I bought! 🙃
 
@Jules Define "early"! The quietest time at Kroger is when the doors are unlocked at 6 am. By 7 it's already an Olympic sport finding a parking spot, snagging a cart and dodging other shoppers. So if early means that early, you'll be fine and maybe even find everything you're looking for, in which case you'll get the gold medal.

That is when I normally go since I don't really sleep at night. I have also found they put out fresh stock and I am able to get all the sale items before they run out. Used to be me waiting to go in Target at 6AM before work. Had to get there early to get the son's Power Ranger figures, gosh I am glad that is behind me. LOL
 
It's still a warm 36F here with a howling wind. The temp has dropped 15 degrees in the past two hours and supposed to drop another 20 degrees in the next two hours.

Off to work with me! Croissants will be in demand today, along with every other thing in the store. Maybe the cold will keep folks at home. Or not.
 
It is warmer here than I expected, 43 degrees. Rain is expected but I don't know if it is or has rained already. My windows are blocked and I can't hear any rain. High winds are expected too but maybe it will miss us if we are lucky.

I will try to do everything I said I was going to do for the last three days and did not do. Must do laundry for sure as I have at least a couple loads to do. As soon as my neighbors are up, I will get the vacuuming out of the way. I don't usually put it off as it takes a whole five minutes. Not sure why I did.
 
Well I didn't go out after all.. the forecast was wrong and far from being a dry sunny day, it's raining. Looks like everyone else has gone out around here.. but with the Ambulances and paramedics on strike, I don't think it's a good idea for me to go out in the rain among heaving traffic... so I'm staying home.. Might try again tomorrow because the stores are all closed Christmas day and Boxing day.. so not open again until Tuesday

Good morning all, it's 9 degrees here this morning, no cold water at the kitchen sink even tho I left all cabinet doors open, thankfully I've got hot water.
My daughter and I went shopping at Walmart yesterday. picked up my prescriptions and groceries...bought pee pads for the dog that he chews to bits.
This will be another stay warm movie day for me and Louie.
Everyone stay warm and enjoy your day.
 
When I woke up at 5:30 this morning, it wasn't doing anything outside.
I got dressed went for my early morning walk,temp was 40,lightly raining with no breeze. I figure I better do this now because I doubt I'll be going outside for the next 2 days
Its 8:05, the winds have started to pick up- here we go!
