OK, so, in theory, there's an Edge612 day. Then all the other Edges (611, 613, 614, etc.) feel left out. To remedy same we have national Edge Day. The next thing you know snowflake 22 needs her day. (She certainly deserves one for all her efforts.) Here we go again with identical problems. There would be a seemingly never ending trail of petitions for additional holidays. Ultimately nothing gets done. The toys don't get made, millions of children are emotionally crushed, and the spirit of Christmas gets kaboshed....Given you don't want to be responsible for that mess, let's leave the holidays right where they are...For now.

Happy Columbus Day and/or happy Thanksgiving, depending on what you're celebrating today!

The weather is mostly three B's today: bright, beautiful, and breezy. I have some things on my to-do list today, but I'm being darned slow about getting started ... just enjoying a leisurely morning. I tried calling my doctor's office to schedule a flu shot, and heard something I haven't heard in years: a busy signal! And their website is down for maintenance. So that will have to wait until another day.

Time to take another look at that to-do list. No, wait ... I haven't had any tea yet ... :D

Good Afternoon MerryCarey. How was the tea? Did it get you motivated? Well, did the errands, the lawn is mowed and the Halloween lights are on the arch. Taking a quick break then going to watch a recor ded series show with the birthday girl and then back out for a few more chores.
I'm so glad your day has turned out with beautiful weather... enjoy!

Happy columbus day! I finally went out and got Carolina's birthday shopping done. Now I just have to send out the invitations for her friend party. I hope everyone has a great rest of the day. I'll be heading into work at 2 and Carolina will go to my cousins until my mom gets done school. This year she gets Yom Kippur off insta of Columbus day

Afternoon NMC. That is quite an interesting substitution, but hey any day off... :D
Have fun with the preparations and the actual party and have a great day in the sun.

Not to mention the fact that Columbus never even stepped foot on North America.

I found the perfect solution. I had the foresight to insist on being born on a national holiday. :D

You've got much more energy than me today! I did some audio editing, but didn't get up the energy to do any new recording. I think I know why: I forgot to get that tea. Better go do it now!
 
Good afternoon all. Well, I had to leave school early today, I received a call from the school nurse, Henry was sick and had a fever. Soooo, home we went. That is the nice thing about teaching in the same district your children go to school. It looks like I may have tomorrow off too. The nurse told me she sent 5 kids home from school today at the Elementary! All with fevers of about 102. Something is certainly going around the school.

Be prepared all... our beloved Mama cat (we had Mama and her baby, aptly named "Baby") passed away recently. Baby has been a bit lonely and a friend of ours is fostering a litter... what do ya know? We fell in love with one (well, all!) and he/she is ours as of THURSDAY! I will be sure to send photos of these new tiny little kitten! Eeek! The kids were so sad to say goodbye to Mama so this will do us all good!

Oh, judesmama, I am so sorry your Mama cat passed. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family and Baby.
(((HUGS)))

Congratulations on the new kitten!!
