Good evening all!

Lots of clouds but no rain or snow here today. Went in for an official BP check, still doing well off that nasty med. Will go for a recheck in 6 months.
Starting on an antibiotic for 5 days due to my hands being chewed up by the kitten & my dog, grrrr.

Wow Mick it looks great!!! Good job
What’s next on the list for you??

Cyn, sorry you’re having such a tough time posting. I’ll have to try Googling that issue & see if I can find a reason for that. Sometimes it’s as simple as clearing out all the cookies in your browser but who knows?
I made a pot of chicken pot pie soup today. It’s simple & filling, maybe you can do something like that for your guest. I went mostly with the recipe on the back of the pot pie squares but jazzed it up with some onion & celery cooked with the diced chicken thighs, used reduced sodium chicken broth & added some thyme (my favorite flavor). There was no milk or flour in it like I see in some recipes.
Hope yOur day was a good one

PQ, how was your day?
Slo, babysitting today?

Hello to Sam, Pauly. Det,

Have a nice night all!

MAE ALL…had a good day, nice and steady with no drama. LOL Weather continues to be mild so that’s a blessing. If you can believe it I'm starting to work on Spring programs. I never know what season I'm in.

Lav…oh to be able to start gardening in March (sigh!) Sounds like everyone is scattering now, hope there’s more family around to help out with the mother. Can’t believe you’re on antibiotics because of the cat and dog. Ouch.

TG…I never post using my phone, it’s as ancient as yours. Tried the “pressing the brake” trick today. No error message this morning on way to work. Again, leaving the grocery store at lunch time it was ok but as I was heading back to work it came on. Thought it was going to work but alas no. Enjoy your guest tomorrow. Don’t know how to help you with the posting glitches. Perhaps if you clear your cache for the site it might help.

Mick…wow, a picture is worth a thousand words eh? LOL

Shout out to Det, Pauly and Sam. Have a good night all...PPQP

hiya all..how are we then?hope all is good ...just a quick one..I tried to get on the forum earlier but to no avail ..kept getting timed out ..Rained most of the day here,got the rabbits out for a little while .The castle is a lot further on that pic ..I was up till 1 am doing it.Im out at yoga tonight ...


apologies for the short post

As I was reading and getting ready to post last night, the site crashed. Now we’re up & running again!

That’s right, Lav -I was babysitting Huxley yesterday. Gosh he’s getting cute! 6-month-olds are cuties. I got lots of kisses & cuddles, and dinner out with Huxley & daughter too!

Hogwarts is looking swell! Now I see what you mean by the rocks, Mick. I like the moss on the rocks too.

We had sun yesterday!! Back to cloudy today.

I was raised Catholic by a Catholic mother and a dad who had been raised Lutheran -the same as my ex-husband. My three siblings who married all married Lutherans and converted to that.

I have always pressed on the brake when I start my car too, Lav. The “low tire pressure” light always comes on when the temp is significantly below zero, so I’ve learned to ignore that one.

I finally upgraded my 6S iPhone exactly two years ago.

Hope you turned the corner on your illness, TG.

I am gaining weight, and need to stop stress-eating carbs and fat.
I tried to go without CBD oil on my knee for a couple days. Big mistake! I ordered some more.

Wishing you all a steady, drama-free day!

Mae all-
Lav, I’ve eaten a few cookies in my day, but have never “cleared” any from my cache..(. &#128521

My computer is fairly new, so shouldn’t have anything filled up on it, but one never knows. Anyway, I always find a workaround, so no biggie...

Sorry I missed yesterday... getting ready for my house guest, had to clean and spiff up and do sheets and towels... I’ve kind of forgotten how civilized people live! Worked late, then up early to do some work ahead of time for the Homeless lunches... fortunately my guest got a late start, so I can have a little rest before he arrives.

Mick - - so awesome!!! Looks very full of enchantment and stories already! You are inspiring me to read the books! I watched part of one movie, but it was too much for me... I think reading will be better.

Lav, so sorry about the antibiotics! Be careful - I’m sure you know how dangerous those cat scratches can be. The dish you made sounds delish! Keep posting your food experiments... it might inspire me...

PPQ, so glad things are quiet- and yes, planning for spring would def be a challenge for me. (Unless it’s Garden Catalogs)

SLO, please do stay on top of your knee cream... no sense being in pain. So glad that you had a good time with Huxley plus a nice lunch out...

Sam, hoping things are good for you -

Hello to Pauly and Det and all else stopping by...
Cheers,
TG

MAE ALL…

Mick…I had troubles with the forum yesterday as well. Looking forward to the updated castle picture. Hope you had a good night at yoga.

Slo…I wouldn’t ignore the low tire pressure light in the winter. As the temps drop you do loose pressure. I lost 13lbs overnight when our temps plummeted. CBD oil is wonderful.

TG…eaten a few cookies but never cleared my cache. Oooo, the guest is a “he”! I would love to be looking at garden catalogs instead of figuring out program dates and times.

Waves to Det, Pauly, Sam & Lav. Have a good night all….PPQP

Greetings friends,

We decided to do an evening run to Costco. Gas was $3.09/gal, stocked up on some necessities & some not totally necessary stuff haha! Cloudy all day, rain due here tomorrow.

Mick, glad you finally got logged in. The site does seem a bit slow or something. Nice the bunnies had a chance to go out.

Cyn, I didn’t really need the antibiotic (in my mind), I’ve been getting bitten by this kitten all along. He plays rough & I just need to be quicker at punching him in the face Lol
Tonight’s feast was oat flour waffles with a touch of sourdough starter for extra flavor, yum. I hope you enjoy visit with your friend.

PQ, no worries, my hands are looking better already & I dare any of these animals to get near me today haha!!
Hope yuor day was good.

Slo, good you enjoyed your Huxley day. Their personalities really start to come out at that age
The CBD oil is really effective, surprised me, the only reason we tried it was because of the Amish folks around here. I’ve noticed tire pressure changes with the colder weather too, just so you’re safe driving!

Hello to Sam, Pauly & Det.
Have a nice night all!

Mae all,

Quick post from me, as I have a guest right now. Nice to have company, and it reminds me that I might become a little "feral" if I don't seek out company more often. Yesterday was a tough Homeless Meal day; short-handed and behind, I packed (for the 200 lunches) individual small plastic containers/lids with high-end yogurt that had been donated... my hands still hurt from opening dozens of cartons and putting those damn lids on! All for a good cause, but we were behind, so a little panicky. I'm going to offer to come in a do prep a day before... senseless to be stressed out on a mission of peace!

Not much else is going on... my friend who is visiting is a composer, and is writing an instrumental piece about addiction to alcohol... so we had a good long chat about that... fascinating to see how the "shame" model still exists prominently in the world even today.

Cold, high winds and a little snow here today... makes me realize how easy our winter has been up until now...

May we all be well,
TG
