Christmas Countdown - 2015

[Christmasstar]

I agree!

I still got the guilt text, that they were short handed, and if I can force myself to come in, they'd really appreciate it....?!

That ticked me off. I have never called in sick for my doctor-and they call me out? Half the office is out. And I was there Tuesday holding down the fort in complete chaos, while no one else was there.

That was my response...about being there Tuesday, miserable, even though I wanted to go home. But I didn't. Now I'm much worse.

The nerve!

Thanks, buddy.

Not sure what it is. Have cold & flu like symptoms. They've just gotten worse, been fighting ear aches & head/body aches for a couple weeks now.

I plan to call my doctors office today.

Thanks for thinking of me.

sounds like you need a few days of total rest and lots of sleep. Keep saying no to that boss of yours and take care of yourself.

It would be very cool to have a sleeper on a vintage train ... I've seen so many in 1930s-'40s movies. A luxury car would be even cooler! Mystery or no mystery, it would be an interesting taste of the past!

We need an MMC train like that going to Vermont ... harmonizing "Snow, snow, snow, snow ..."

Hey, now. You've given Carl an idea.
The 'Pines is a pretty big place when you consider all the land/nature areas. A vintage train would be a great idea to take guests around!

Good Morning MMC !!
Extreme cold warning out here, going down to -30c (-22f) tonight, furnace working over time !

Work this morning then have to do some shopping this afternoon. Mom coming home tomorrow so I will be in Toronto to pick her up.

Hopping you all have a fantastic day!!

Stay warm CS! It is ridiculously cold out there!!!

I should have looked at the weather forecast before posting this morning..stop the press! We are expecting one inch of snow Monday! The high says 39F but one inch of snow accum expected, the low that night is 28F so it will stick at least through the night, I will worry about the technical stuff later, the fact it is actually suppose to snow one inch has to be the best news ever, it's been at least one month since we have had any snow sticking or not! and I can't believe it is already thursday too!!!!

I hope you get some snow!!!! xx Have a great day Dawg!

Merry Morning my favourite bunch of people! :???:
Have a great Thursday!

Merry afternoon to you Festive! Hope you are having a great day!

Good Thursday morning, my Christmas friends!

It's been really busy around here with the boss out. Most folks get to kick back when he's out, but I have to kick it in high gear.

I went with Nancy to see her mom last night. Mrs. Hilda is just about at the end of her rope with living in a hospital. Bless her heart, she was getting upset when it was time for us to leave. We're now talking about bringing her home early, and taking her back to physical therapy every day. It'll be hard to get the logistics going, but she's been away long enough. We'll see how it turns out.

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

Awe - I can't blame her for wanting to bust out of there!! I'm glad she's doing so well! Do you have home therapy available in your area? Many of the PT's here will come to your home...hope that would be an option so you don't have to do so much running. Good luck!

Happy Milestone Day, MMC!!!!! It's going to be a cold day here with a high of 18 degree's. Brr!!!! We are getting some light snow showers too. No real accumulation expected though. It's just making the roads slick. I may run to the grocery store later today but I may also just wait until this weekend when I go out to my sister's house. Other than that, It's just going to be doing more stuff around the house. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!

Stay warm made!!! Brrrrrr

********** MILESTONE DAY **********




Good Morning, Everyone!

Wow! Milestone Day!

The numbers:
Days to the Season: 274
Days to Christmas Day: 316

A QUARTER OF THE WAY TO THE SEASON.
We are there!
Zowee!!


Hey! What a time at the 'Pines last night.
Sure enough, Carl leaped through the huge paper valentine.
I expected that.
What I DIDN'T expect was seeing Binger on his back holding a cup of coffee.
Didn't spill a drop.
(But then, Bing would rather spill blood than coffee.)


Warmer yesterday and dry. A repeat is expected for today before we turn cold again -- REALLY cold -- with the low possibly down to 11 by Sunday.
For now, we have commenced the day at 34 degrees here in the capital city.


Have a Thrilling Thursday, Folks!
(Weekend Eve tomorrow, you know.)

Yippee for Milestone Day!!! :???: Thanks Crown! Stay warm!!! Not to rub it in, but our forecast for Sunday is a high of 79 & a low of 62! (chance of rain though)

I agree!

[Holiday]

We're winners! We won $7! :???: (Yep, that's seven, as in more than six and less than eight.)

Congratulations on your big win!!!! :???:

Thank you, Holiday [emoji170]
I got a great night of sleep, so good way to start the day.
So far, feeling a bit better.

How did your night go?
How is your Dad?

I'm glad you got a good nights sleep!!
My night at Mom/Dads was pretty uneventful. Mom went to bed at 9:30, Dad fell asleep at 10:15, that left me- the night owl - the tv, & my crochet hook. LOL! I worked on my afghan til around midnight & curled up on the couch with Cleo - the wiener dog! Dad only woke up once at 3:45 - I got up & helped him. Then back to sleep til 7:15! His legs were weak this morning after laying in the recliner for so long, but my sis & I went there at lunch & got him to walk probably 20 steps. He had his walker & one of us on each side. He did good...we're going to make him do it again tonight! :smile: (poor guy)

I can't get moving today, I don't have fever, but I do have allergies really bad this last week, pollen is already falling around here too. I have this really bad compulsion to call in today, I have used personal time so far this year, but not sick time, I hate doing this, but I do think I will play hooky today..I want to take some allergy meds and go right back to bed. I was looking at webcams in the Mid atlantic ski resorts and it is cloudy with snow and temps are dropping, it makes me want to hop in a plane and rent a cabin in the woods and watch the snow fall all day, how relaxing that would be!

Hope you are feeling better Dawg!

Thanks, it did. [emoji172]

Annoyed me, but it's their problem/rudeness, not mine. I will just do what I need to do for me, and hope for the best. Only a week and a day left there, the countdown is on.

Good afternoon MMC! Took me awhile to catch up today. It was crazy in the office this morning! As I mentioned above, Dad is doing pretty well, so that's a good thing! My slumber party went well! I feel kind of bad leaving on vacation, but 1 good thing - my sis that is vacationing in Florida will be coming home the day before I leave, so she will be a fresh face for Dad!

Whitney - keeping you all in my prayers.

Have a great rest of your day MMC! Happy Friday Eve!!! 2 more sleeps! :smile:

Thanks! That was the 1st he walked in 3 weeks, so it's "a step in the right direction" ~ literally!
I don't think Cleo woke up once all night - she was in heaven sleeping on the couch. LOL

So - as I mentioned earlier, I get to work this morning & my co-worker asks me for my shredded chicken recipes. I start thinking that sounds good for supper, but I don't want to cook at this point b/c I don't want leftovers since we're leaving! Then HMG posts on here she's making shredded BBQ Chicken for supper, THEN I get to Mom & Dads at lunch & my sister is there & she says "I just had a shredded chicken from the carry out - have you ever had one of those? It was REALLY good!" I couldn't take it anymore. I went home & threw some chicken breast, & cream of soups in the crock pot. We'll have it for supper, freeze a little & I'll bring the rest to Mom & Dads! cheesy

That works out good!
Satisfy your craving, and share it with your parents!! Enjoy!
