I’m back. (Betcha didn’t know I was gone. *\;^) Lights are ready to be plugged into the timer tomorrow, and I went off to the church Crafts & Vendors Sale — complete with cello solo (one of our college students, home for the holidays).
Sion: You are always conspicuous by your absence!
The Crafts & Vendors Sale sounds fun!
You are either being very kind or quite insulting. Knowing you, it absolutely has to be the former. *\;-) I've FReepmailed you a link to a blog post with pictures. Sadly, in this day & age, mostly without identifiable features.
It's been a grim, gloomy day here. And that's just the weather -- I went through this about 15 years ago and truly hope it's not coming back but at least I know I can beat SAD by simple perseverance. There's a certain loveliness to the gloom, if you know how to look (any Scot would know that).
Or it might just be travel, but I'm upgraded both legs out and now the first leg home.
How are you doing today???
Sionn, when you’re not here we never know if you’re ultra-busy, ultra-busy AND buried under malfunctioning computer parts, or lost in the underkeep in which case we need to organise a rescue.
Possibly involing weaponised wombats.
/ kidding.
Yes, when you aren’t here it is obvious that you’re not merely lurking.
If I don't seem to be present it generally means I am way over-busy with work, or my Internet connections have failed. (My new Android phone is reducing the probability of the latter, at least when I'm stateside.)
The former, dear Sion!
I’m most familiar with SAD. Between that and claustrophobia, I have a tough time in this place. I need a house with LOTS of windows, and about 1000 sq ft of space, but lack the minimum requirements. ($1500)
I’m watching the Arkansas/LSU game with my grandson, via text messaging. It’s kinda fun to let him know that I’m not some alien entity who has no clue!
I texted: The neighbors think I’m nuts. (I yell a lot at the TV during the games!)
His reply: Everybody does.
I texted: U R Ur father’s son!
When my son was his age, we lived in Gila Bend, AZ, and as I was trying to cook Thanksgiving (or Christmas) dinner, I hated the fact that I was relegated to the kitchen while the guys were watching football. I walked into the living room, wiping my hands on my apron and asked, “What inning is it?”
(I’ve been a football fan since high school!!)
” (My new Android phone is reducing the probability of the latter, at least when I’m stateside.)”
And in my minds eye I am seeig a robot beating some technician down with a wire roll because he messed up the connection.
“Beware of AngryBot, he shall show you the meaning of true repentance!”
You sound like a CSR in a Place that has no stability.
Hey, I might do the same!
I love football and always have. My comment was meant for my teenaged son...”moms are not always ‘there,’” and I was in line to give him a run for his money.
Since his dad had no real clue about my high school years, it was “tongue-in-cheek” for him, as well. The joke was on the both of them.
I liked it!
My sister in=law had all the walls removed so the kitchen is part of the dinning, tv, game room.
Or, in my case, that I have suddenly inherited about a dozen projects that have to be worked on at the same time.
And every time I pick up a tool to get to work on them, everyone else in the house has somewhere else to be.
I feel like Santa Claus with the elves on strike.
Oh, I have those too, but I’m always on strike.
I put the cocoa (with marshmallows) in the cabinet next to the frig.
I saw all seven in a single volume just today at COSTCO.
And after angrybot is done, he throws the wire roll onto the twitching mangulated pile of remorse..
I haven’t been inside a COSTCO for years. Don’t you have to own a business to join?
Hey! Anybody home?
Anybody?
