What are you doing today?

Last holiday party is child-centric and starts early this afternoon. Cookies are baked, 24 pizza crusts are slow rising in the extra fridge, and I'm about to unleash my Roomba for a last-minute vacuuming. Will spruce up bathrooms, mop floors and hit everything with the duster. Other than that, I'm ready.

Tomorrow we'll start putting Christmas decorations away and restore the house to normalcy. A sizeable task that will take a couple of days.

No rain in today's forecast - yay! - but tomorrow the heavens are supposed to open up. Lots of rain coming this week.

Done. It's all done including cleaning the bathroom. What do I do for the rest of the day? I can't just sit around and eat.

Well you can make some more scones...I am gasping !
The raisin buns are good but I need a scone !!

I have not done anything around the house. Had a shower, tried to get some rollers in my hair but with the thumbless wonder hand, not easy.
Just about to take them out to see what a gorgeous hairdo I can make. Then I might flick my feather duster around, then, then, then,.....oops getting dozy here so will head to the coffee pot first and dream of a blueberry wonder scone while I am eating a Scottish shortbread biscuit.....
 
I was sick for a few days. Better now. But I have a commitment tomorrow, and another one on Tuesday, which will mess my routine up a bit. So I feel I might as well coast until Wednesday. That's probably not logical....

Mostly what it means is no exercise. I'll still do laundry, talk to my language partner, maybe compile some trivia questions.

I have some pork marinating. I guess I'll cook it today.

What a week this has been!!!

On Tue we met with some old , for the last time. They are both in there 90's, with various health issues. Right now they live in town, in an assisted living facility. They have decided that it's still too hard for them, on a daily basis. So on Jan 1st they are moving to an assisted living facility in Illinois....close to their family. We have known them for close to 20 years, so we spent the morning having our last natter. 😢

Afterwards, we ran a ton of errands, and didn't get home until late afternoon.

Then on Wed I went to my Mom's house to try to contact her cable company, because she has been losing service. I swear, those automated phone services bring out the worst in me!!! I was arguing with a interactive computer program for 2 hours!!!! Grrrr! I finally confused it enough that it put a real person on the line, so, hopefully, I won't need to go through that ever again!!

The rest of the day, Mom and I went through one of her photo albums. There were things - important things - that she either couldn't remember, or half remembered and confused with something else. It was very sad. 😢

Thurs was very productive....I was able to take care of all kinds of misc things around the house, both inside & out. You know.....the kind of stuff that piles up when your not looking!

Besides all the the things that I just mentioned, I still made sure to do my regular exercises and my PT. In the evening, we have started to watch a show called Farscape, so far I'm less than impressed, but it does seem to be getting better. After watching Yellowstone, nothing else seems to hold my attention.

Even though I enjoy reading about Remo's adventures, I have put my book to the side, for now. I hope to get back to it soon.

Today I'm trying to catch up with my e-mails and forums.
Tomorrow, I get to visit with my skating friends. After that, this year is history.....and I'll be glad to see it GONE!!!!

I'll see you all next year!

Just got back from the range. Shot off about 200 rounds using the .44 mag and 100 rounds on the SIG P227. When I retired, I bought my SIG. Also, my son and I shot about 50 rounds from the AR-15.

For those of you that have been on this forum for awhile, you may remember me telling you that I have been looking for a missing woman for years. I don’t have my journal with me, so I apologize. My daughter came up with this “cool” idea to write a book and asked to borrow it for reference material, but anyway, we did get a new lead from a man at one of our prisons here in PA. I am going to see him next Tuesday. Although I am no longer on the active rolls, I can still do certain things just like any other citizen is able to do and interviewing prisoners is one of those things. He made a statement that only someone that knew her would know, so this lead may be a good one to get us back into the game, but we’ll see.

Other than that, nothing new here. Everyone, but my sister is healthy. She has MG and Leukemia. She’s been in the hospital this time since the middle of November. Now they found out she is internally bleeding, but can’t find where from.

Wife and I are going to a party tomorrow night and staying overnight because it’s so far away. We will both be drinking, so I made a reservation with an Uber in the area to take us back to the hotel. Some cities are providing free cab rides, but not where we will be.

I hope all of you had a happy and healthy Christmas and it will continue into the New Year. Reminder: If you are partying tomorrow night, please call a cab, Uber or have a designated driver. Don’t start out 2023 being in jail. I can’t believe how many people I had park their cars and I drove them home, but only if they were fairly close by.
 
Got my Cornish hen this morning as planned…..was lucky…..yesterday there were 11 of them, I needed to think a bit before decided on one, went to get it today, there was only 1 left !!!!!!……had my name all over it……lucky me, almost lucked out.
Also treated myself to prawns and large scallops.
So…..New Years Eve and New Year’s Day suppers are planned. 😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋.

Do they have Cobbs Bakery near you. They’re mostly a western chain that is moving into the east. People loves their scones. Don’t tell GG that I don’t.

Well I found a Cobs Bread in a strip mall quite near me. Could be same. Small Bakeshop tucked away at the end so never ever noticed it.
Their website showed lots of baked goods but I will drop in soon and see what their selection is. Maybe scones....

I don't watch much TV but my nightly routine has been upended,at least I have my laptop/tracphone to keep me in the loop of what's happening in the news
