Hmmmm.... just everyday stuff
So far we've had a fairly mild series of weather since Sandy struck. I am NOT complaining. A mild weather pattern is just fine with me for the inter, although I do want one week where we have very cold nights - maybe 3 in a row. That will minimize the bug population for next year. I don't want them all to go away - Mother nature needs her little helpers - but a shortage of such things as ticks, mosquitoes and stink bugs is a reasonable request, I think.
Yesterday we had an awesome fog! Visibility was minimal. Naturally, I had a doctors appointment but I got there and back in one piece so that wasn't bad. I was amazed and mildly dumbfounded by the number of people driving WITHOUT their headlights on. I don't care what color your car is - fog hides them all. Last night we had a short but strong storm and today is gorgeous but still has a litle wind. Around here that usually means the weather is changing due to some new front moving through. Guess I'll check the weather forecast and go for a walk.
Had a request for some Christmas cookies so I'm starting that later on today. Found a recipe I'd never heard of before but it sounds YUMMY so I think I'll give it a go. The recipe calls for rum and when I stopped in and asked the clerk where the miniatures were he looked confused. He knows I don't drink, I only stop in for my weekly lottery ticket. Then I mentioned cookies and he asked how soon they'd be ready. Silly man! Now I'm off to restock my cloves supply...not enough for the intended batches.
Chiropractic care continues and is a "Good Thing". It won't rebuild the deteriorated disc but it will stop the wear and deterioration or at least slow it way down. No pain from those pinched nerves in several weeks. YAYY!!!
Hydrating the cat continues to be an exercise in patience, frustration and exasperation. The towel on the head worked once. End of that method. Will try the pillowcase method but, frankly, it's a 2 person chore. I only have 2 hands. Happily still no scratches from poor Hemi.
I am so proud of my friend who just graduated with his Bachelor of Applied Science degree. He's in his 50's. He graduated with honors and a 3.84 grade average. Now I can only hope the fussy bitch (who totally Ruined the celebratory dinner for me) got a case of heartburn from her meal! Her actions could have been done more politely and quietly and achieved the same results, but..NOOOO... she did her usual thing and gave us the full dose of histrionics and drama queen crap. So tasteless, so stupid. Not worth the angst, though...I finally overcame my displeasure and am happily anticipating the cookie making! She was the trigger for my previous post/rant.
I never know when I'll write in this thing so Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukah, Yule, Winter Solstice, Happy New Year - Your choice - and have a wonderful year in 2013. I sure hope to!
