Yikes

Anybody not happy with their job?

This song is so multi-purpose!

I am tired

Girl, same!

I call "preppies"... Yuppy larvae.

Love it!
Gonna start telling folks I grew up in Larvae Land.

That is a great idea.

The lake to the East was Lake Huron and to the West was Michigan and North was Superior and to the South . . . who cares?

I did... when I was driving and trying to figure out where in the hell I was
Lake is East... I lived 2 blocks from the lake... so drive until you get near... then stop before you get wet. After that it was just up (North) or down (South) along the coast until something looked familiar.

Rest, girl, rest!!!
I'm tired too... the ride in was like that video OM posted... chit was flying everywhere.

Hazard Pay? Well, there should be.
Do you not "batten down the hatches"?

Fawkin sneaux. Minus two C. Craptastic. It'll be a trip in the morning, and Wat won't be in any hurry to get to Worktown, not in this shit.

I used to live walking distance from work. A good 30-40 minutes on a clear day but still doable.
Well, heavy rain or heavy snow? The buses would run slow or be so full already that they would not stop at my stop.
After the 3rd or 4th bus blew by, I'd start walking... and be the first one in the office. With shoes and pants soaked up to the knee, too. Lucky me
I do not miss those days!
Miss the walk but not that set-up for it.

The big chill is going around!

19 F (above) with -2 F (below) wind chill checking in... oh, and snow. Did I mention snow?

Still feeling wiped out from this bug. Gonna wind down early again.

Hope you all have a good night.

Sleep is good medicine. Take care so you recover fully!

Today was rough... i survived though.

Try to rest when you can... busy time of year but as @Wonderer67 kindly pointed out:

You’ve just had major surgery!

Yeah...i dont have time for this shit...

You need to make the time!
And I need to listen to my own damn advice

Night all

Night all

Plus, didn't I just say something about taking my own advice? Not time like the present.

Sweet Dreams, spoonies

It was a "time factor"... coming down to a choice of food or rest, so I opted for the rest.
BTW, it was a good choice, as I awoke to a huge, excellent potroast!

Rest is almost always the better choice!

 

[Lilianna23]

That's beautiful!
Kudos on your productive day!

Thank you, Boat!

 

[Lilianna23]

I do like the tiny village.


Maybe a Panzer IV with a winter camo paint job . . . .

Thanks, Wat! I'll take that under advisement. I'll need to get some GI Joes and camo tents to create an army base!

 

[Lilianna23]

This is my "switch day" where I do the flip from nights to days... biorhythms? not so much.

It's hard to keep your body in sync when you're switching from nights to days. I did that weekly when I was in grad school. I had one 24 hour day/week because I was working full time and going to school full time.

 

[Lilianna23]

I've been tired of late. This whole process is tiring. At least we turned one page and now the end is in sight.


The cats went back to bed.

An ex told me this long ago. She lied!

She meant hurts for YOU; necessary for HER!

 

[Lilianna23]

You have beautiful baubles!

Thank you, NC!

SUNDAY: Try to enjoy just being alive for the day, maybe just several hours or whatever time you can spare. Take that time to think, to regenerate, be selfish and do it for you. You're the most important person in your life. If you're not 100% you can't look after, help or love someone else who needs you. Those in your life as well as us here.... Love yourself, So others can love you too!!!!

Wise words, OM! ️

 

[Lilianna23]

I just woke up to this post.

Great advice from a great lady!

I will be visiting my friend in the hospital. He cannot move. Don’t take anything for granted. Like walking, writing your signature. Eating. Texting.

How is he? You're a good friend, W!

 

[Lilianna23]

Wow!!! That’s really impressive!!

Thanks, W! I didn't do it all myself; my friend helped a lot!

 

[Lilianna23]

My wife and her are really good friends. That’s how I got to know the husband. And Mrs wonderer is a widower too, so she’s been good support. They see each other weekly and garden and helps her out.

The actual settling of the estate has been a shit show. I won’t go into details. It’s bad.

That's so sad! I was fortunate in that my husband's will left everything to me and WA is a community property state so I would get everything anyway.

 

[Lilianna23]

All I can think to say is WOW

Thank you, T!

That's only part of it. I'll post some more pics.

Ten pages behind. Not gonna catch up today.

We got a critter in the attic. Our exterminator came over and he and I rooted around…didn’t find dropping or any sign of tunneling. So, we either have a boog’ns in the attic or something has made it its home? Spent the better part of yesterday cutting back trees and looking for entry points…none found, but the landscaping looks great! Bonus an overgrown Holy Tree got clipped and I’m gonna make some Christmas decorations with the clippings and red berries.

SWMBO came flying down the stairs this morning in a panic, so we looked and listened. I swear it sounded like a bear up there! Literally something walking…not scurrying…heavy sounding steps….

Time to lock and load…

Everyone have a great Sunday, stay warm, recover from illness and surgeries, and drive safe out there. it’s a mad mad a mad world…

This looks like Leavenworth! It's a little Bavarian-like town in central WA. They have Christmas pretty much year round there!

You and what army???

How am I on here 20+ years and just seeing this thread for the first time? Maybe I've aged out, since I just hit the big 7 5.

We have no age limits. Most of us just happen to be "seasoned!" This is our own little fun corner of Lit. If you find it to your liking, pull up a bar stool and hang out with us.

Afternoon, Spoonies
This up at the crack of dawn on a Sunday is for the birds.

WTH were you doing up early on SUNDAY?!?!?

Your holiday decorations are fantabulous!!
My mother would have loved to stop over for coffee at your place this time of year.

I would have welcomed her over!

Either one works just fine for me.

Yes, please!

Truth
So eloquently said, too.

Indeed!

 

[Lilianna23]

Hello everyone.. Spent the afternoon wrapping presents and I have to say I am TERRIBLE at it. And it's a lot of work but I got it done without any injury to my physical self..

How did the gifts fare? The paper? How many tape balls did you make?

Disturbed sleep is one of the worst things for your health, especially as we get older.

The body heals itself while we sleep so disrupting that pattern is dangerous.
