That’s your daughter-in-law’s son? Maybe he’ll come around.
We had a thunderstorm 11-ish last night and also beeping from some beeber DP had in the room. After the third time, I asked, “Are you have a work emergency?” and when he said, “No,” I said, “I can take that beeber downstairs for you, if you would like,” but he went grumble grumble and did it himself.
I expect the beeber was telling us about the weather, which duh, we could hear it already.

Yes, DiL’s son. Only child, taught by a pro, never brought a gift for anyone, including the hosts, both of whom are working to make enough money to afford house payments, etc., and this guy, in his 20’s didn’t thank anyone for anything.
That storm would be the same one we had earlier in the day, and it poured buckets, with quite the sound and light show. Of course, we have fog again today. I feel almost like I’m back in the Bay Area, or a colder San Diego.

Kitteh is wondering why we have weathers.
Good morning. I hope you slept well after the thunderstorms went through!
My brain has gray lint this morning, which is never a good sign, so unless it lifts at some point, my thinking processes will be less than stellar. As long as I just sit here, I’ll be OK. Organizational skills are non-existent and in fact, it almost hurts to think.

I sympathize with the gray lint thing. I didn’t sleep very well, but that was my decision, I guess. I’ve just eaten breakfast, and now I’ll wait for cognition to kick in. No point in starting the day doing stupid stuff!

Good morning. Happy Friday Eve!
I won’t be working tomorrow so it’s sort of a Friday, right?
Young ArGee had some friends over on Sunday. Yesterday one of those friends tested positive for COVID. That person is fully vaccinated and had just received his booster. Ah, well, we’re praying our daughter doesn’t get sick.
It seems my office, which still has people coming on premises to work, has become a super spreader. What a way to end the year.

Happy Friday Eve, and I hope everyone stays well!
I would like to vacuum, but Jake is asleep in the bedroom, and Shannon is asleep in the dragon room. We live for the cats, we die for the cats.
DP is sighing in the sunroom. If I jump in front of a bus, tell them it was the sighing that did it.

Jake and Shannon suggest catball, which would be great if they didn’t already have the good spots.

...tell them it was the sighing that did it. I find it hard to believe that sighing could ever be that bad!

Oh, crikey.
Here’s hoping your daughter has a strong immune system.
My own FD is feeling poorly this morning, but it could be the flu or a cold. Both of which “Omicron” seems to mimic.

Well, nudge one of them aside with thanks and tell them it was a great suggestion!

That seems to be what Mayor Putz has said.
Most New Yorkers (New Yorkians) don’t care how he goes out, as long as he goes.
