Thank you for starting us off, trissie. My db makes mashed potatoes with a bit of blue cheese--delicious.

Kittykatt, I hope that the dining table gets fixed tonight.
We don't have any of those types of potatoes in our stores.

Hi, Gma.

It looks like we have the same types of potatoes as you do, Smile*Lee.

helia, I hope that your ex-pastor's wife recovers.
That is sad about the flying squirrels, but as you say, they cannot live in the attic.

I'm glad that the roads are safe today, L.Ann.

Bama, I am lucky that Germane takes pills like a champ, rolled into dog food. My issue on the weekend is that the dog food that she was eating happily is tiny pieces in gravy, so it is unsuitable for hiding pills. We worked it out. Unfortunately, the switching of foods is a bit hard on her guts, but if she settles consistently for one food, that should settle down.
German Shepherds are smart dogs. I can picture how difficult it would be to medicate an unwilling one.

Hi, Peaches

Kittykatt, that is great that you have the option of getting your cats' meds from a pharmacy. North American animal hospitals earn a huge markup from their meds and most will outright refuse to write a prescription to take elsewhere.
Oh, I see that your table is fixed. Wonderful!

My three hours has passed, so I can have my next cup of coffee hot. :)

Put on a pot of coffee

Cleaned up vomit. Germane had been eating so well that I had overfed her.
Settled Germane in pen
Went to dentist appointment
New dental plan claim went through with no issues
Could not carry on with errands as I had to go home to the bathroom
Let Germane out of her pen
Cleaned pen
Took Germane out for walk. It was warm enough, but the sidewalk was unpleasantly slushy and salty. Germane declined.
Checked the donation box on the way back: it’s gone. The drive is over.
Washed Germane’s eyes and paws.
Registered for ACORN meeting tomorrow evening

Hi all. I think I maybe posted in the morning yesterday.. did I? Oh well. Yesterday was very full but it was good. Church and practice after. Then we had a bit of time between. I actually had time to rest a bit. Then the banquet went really well again. Always seems like around 100 people. Music is done for the season since we will be away next Sunday. I mixed and put on pans my Danish butter cookies this morning. Gonna take them out of the fridge now and bake them after supper is done. Hopefully the boys haven't eaten too many ginger snaps but I don't think so. I just have to melt the chocolate and dip them. Then baking is done. I'll have to see if dh has any creative ideas for gifts cause now that's what is left for prep.

Until we get to dd place i think. Sunday looks like dh dad and his brother and wife and girls are coming to dd place for the day. We'll have to figure out food for that. Maybe go next town over on Monday to dad's while likely dsil has to work.

I need to get up and make rice and veggies and get cookies ready to bake.

Hi, Lauralind. It sounds like you have holiday prep well in hand.

I think that I'm going to head to bed early. The theory is that I can wake up early and get out and do my errands that I keep not getting to. Have a good night!
