Christmas Countdown - 2015

[Bradmac]

Good Wednesday morning, my Christmas friends!

And...Happy Rudolph Day! :rudolph:

The sun is peeking out this morning, but my mom says it's supposed to be raining after lunch. I think most of my outside work is caught up for a few days, so I don't mind too much.

Lulu is still taking antibiotics, which are big pills. She refuses to eat them, even when mashed up in a slice of cheese, so I have to push them down her throat. Yuck! You should see the look on her face when I call her to the kitchen for her pills..LOL. She knows what's coming, but she's a big girl for not running away. I give her a small treat afterwards, then we play for a while. What a good girl!

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

Good morning, everyone!

Ten months until Christmas Day? Nine months until we're into the thick of the Christmas Season? One month until we are a few days into Spring? The year is moving fast. In fact, it has been so fast that I have been on hiatus from MMC for about a month. I think it's time to end that!

I've been a little busy - here and there - doing various things for the past month. Work has finally picked up. I worked all four days last week (Monday was a holiday). This week, I've managed two of three days thus far. I'm really hoping to make it four of five, but we shall see how the calls go for tomorrow and Friday. The good news is that I am already booked for three days next week (all at my normal supply school).

I'm not at Russell today. Instead, I took a call this morning at a school which I was only at once last year. The students and staff here are very welcoming. It's been good thus far. There's only two more periods of teaching to go! The school here is done at 2:15, which is about an hour earlier than I'm used to being done. I'll have plenty of time to do things afterwards.

I hope everyone here is doing quite well. I might have some time in a bit to run through some posts and catch up a little. I think my little break was long enough. I am ready to return to Christmassy thoughts. In fact, I think a trip to Tinseltown, Ottawa's Christmas Emporium, is in order. Perhaps, I can convince Kim to go this weekend or next.

Have a great Wednesday, everyone! We're nearly on the downside of the workweek. I hope the weather in your area is much nicer than the snow and winds of Ottawa. February has been record-setting for cold. Hopefully March will turn things around!

Poor Lulu. At least she knows that you're just trying to help. Hopefully she improves shortly!

Good Morning.

Rise (if you aren't frozen in place) shine and behold the latest edition of The Daily Count, delivered free to your local computer:
Days to the Season: 261
Days to Christmas Day: 303

And those numbers tell us that we are now UNDER half a week away from the 300-day Christmas Day Window and the start of a twin-200's level count.
(Will that be our first glimmer of things starting to accelerate?)


Gee, whiz.
More snow yesterday (about 1.5 inches) with possibly 5-6 more on the way this evening.
(Enough is enough. This is the south, not Boston!)
Well, at least today's highs should crack the freezing mark.
We have started the day off at 25 degrees, but with sun this time.


'Pines Day, Guys!
What will a certain camel have in store for us this evening?
Have we had enough of winter/snow themed entertainment or is Carl still feeling "seasonal"? We must come to find out.


Have a Wonderful Wednesday, Friends!

I hope you can find a way to quickly melt that snow, Crown! Stay warm!! Looking forward to seeing what Carl has in store for tonight.

Glad you're back, Brent! And it sounds like work is picking up, too, so that's good! cheesy

Good Morning....happy Wednesday!

A little bit warmer day in CT today..thank God!! I have to say I am ready for spring. I had to bring my daughter to Urgent Care last night she ended up with a bladder infection so she is home today from school. Hopefully the antibiotics will kick in soon.

We may have some snow/freezing rain this weekend...ugh!

I am so excited for the Christmas Countdown...10 months to Christmas!! :-D

Hope you all have a great day!

Good morning!!
Keeping your daughter in my thoughts & prayers~
Stay warm & have a great day!

I'm afraid to get too excited for spring - better stick with winter theme Carl! It's still February! cheesy Have a great day Crown!

Good morning MMC! So happy I had a chance to catch up on here this morning - wasn't sure if I would! Happy Hump/Pines/Rudolph Day! :rudolph:

I'm at work, but Dad just got back to his room after a 2 hr MRI. They had to give him extra pain meds so he could tolerate the test. He just has a lot going on. He is retaining fluid, so they need to figure that out. Hopefully we'll have some answers from the MRI about where the infection is. They did an upper & lower lumbar as well as the brain. Doc wants to rule out that he didn't have another stroke since his right leg is so weak. My oldest sister has been at the hospital all morning & my Mom/Brother are heading up shortly - I am taking a short lunch so I can get out of here earlier & head up, then another sis is coming this evening. Been a crazy 15 or so hours. Hoping the MRI shows an easy fix for the infection & they don't have to open him up again!

On a lighter note - the sun is shining & it was a balmy 16º this morning. cheesy

Have a great day gang!

Tell Carl it's time for a luau---crank up the heat and have everyone come in shorts and aloha shirts!

Ah. Weather.
The one thing Carl can't control, although he says he's "working on it".
(Could he be talking about a removable dome??)

It wouldn't put anything past that camel after what I've seen on 'Pines open nights over the years!
