I'm laughing right now, listening to B talking to a tech rep (in India? or Pakistan or something) for TimeWarner cable. Her name is Barbara, she is a semiretired electrical engineer. She is telling him about sparklers. (rolling eyes). I take back the rolling eyes, B just came out and reported that the tech said "How were you able to figure out what ( Read more... )

It's been several weeks. Holy crap. I just looked, I haven't posted since Thanksgiving weekend! Oh my. Why? Mostly because I have still have a very limited amount of energy. From Mid-November through to (looking at calendar) pretty much right now, we've been very, very busy. Just like everyone else. First there was Christmas shopping for stuff we ( Read more... )

Christmas was good here. Not fantastic, but certainly not bad. A solid B.My best "presents" were things that others did for me. On C-Eve, SIL took care of dinner.

Lots of rain, and it's turning to snow shortly ( Read more... )

The weekend was supposed to be about relaxation, more than anything else. I pretty much succeeded. We tried very hard not to over schedule any single day. So we didn't do a lot of things (mostly chores) that we could have done. Everyday Lycan got at least 3 walks, and spent hours outside with us. I got to spend at least a half hour every day on ( Read more... )

Thanksgiving this year was at our house. As always. But this year Sainted Big Bro™ has a new convection stove/oven and volunteered to make the turkey...well, to have his housemate, Sheryl make the turkey, stuffings and gravy. Done deal. B was particularly thrilled, as those are usually her responsibility. But I need to cut to the chase. Niece, was ( Read more... )
