Hello, everyone!

Sorry about the family drama, Trissie. That does not sound good.

L.Ann, has Little Bit told *anyone* what she wants for Christmas?

I'm glad your neck feels better after the massage, Smilelee.


KitKat, we have three cats:
Freddie

Jude

and
Matilda

Dogged, our cats have their own bed, a nice soft round one, and Jude has used it exactly once! They prefer our bed, or the rug downstairs by the radiator!

I hope all the appointments went smoothly, Harriet!

I'm glad one of the cheques has arrived, Helia!

I hope you get a better night's sleep tonight, Bama!

Gma, I'm glad the shower drain is fixed

Well, this sat here while I ran another errand.

Oh wow, trissie. That's some serious ugly drama. Good for you for monitoring your own personal health and responses.
Nice - doing Christmas cards with dh, Kitty.
Hi Peaches.
I see all those checkmarks, Bama.
Enjoy the recital, kitkat! Good luck!
L Ann, are you making butternut squash soup? I love butternut squash soup! (I can't scroll back far enough to check.)
So glad your foster family really cared for you, Doggedly.

This day has a new wrench thrown in it; I cannot get the windshield wiper fluid to come out of my car for the front windshield. I bought more and refilled it; now it comes out just fine for the back but still not at all for the front. I wouldn't worry about this too much but I'm traveling tomorrow. And dh is out of town until late tonight so he can't help. . . I'm thinking of taking it to one of those drive through garages to see if they can solve it; dh texted that he'll check on why - but the time is running short. I need to be travel ready by 1:15 tomorrow, as well as caught up with payroll stuff. And we're getting more snow tonight, so getting out in the morning may not be fast and easy.

--Back from the garage. They couldn't figure it out either. They think that maybe a line got frozen. That seems strange as we've had this car in colder temps than this and this has never happened before. In fact, this has never happened with any of our cars before. Unless someone put in fluid that is for summer time? I thought we always put in the winter fluid. . . .And of course, dh it out of town and can't help.

I'm getting dinner next. I'll work on payroll tonight.

[trissie]

Helia, drive for 20-30 minutes - if its frozen pipe, it will warm up.
There was this year when I was too late to replace the summer fluid...

[L.Ann]

DD32 has too watch her potassium too, KitKat but she doesn’t like butternut squash soup so I will have it for lunches or when she eats pasta. She told me she would like Santa to bring her the horse I had in the bag for one of my angel tree kids, kittykatt. She really is more into time with her friends than in toys at the moment.

After a short night, an early morning, some shoveling ,
An event at the college
Gas and car wash
Grocery shopping
A trip to the garden center to buy a Christmas tree - the store had JUST marked them down 25% an hour before I got there
Precipitation was nasty, no other customers in the store! So I had all the clerks available Road was iffy, but my driving was ok.
Now I'm home and falling asleep while sitting on the couch, so might as well go to bed, and have energy for tomorrow .
