Christmas Countdown - 2017

[Edge612]

Morning! It is Friday woohoo. I left work a little early yesterday to make it a longer evening to rest. I think that it did the trick because I noticed that my voice was improving last night. Of course, Rollins helped me find that out as I had to yell at him because he was getting into trouble and I did so without thinking. Then I realized wow I can talk. Slept right through the night and woke up this morning feeling very improved. Just taking it easy today so that I hope that trend continues and I feel really good for the weekend. Speaking of weekend, time to get there isn't it?
Have a great Friday!!

Good Morning, Serious Season Supporters and Fantastic Fete Followers.

And following the daily count is one of the fantastic things about being a regular here!
So, sans further delay, we present today's figures:
Days to the Season: 297
Days to Christmas Day: 339

And the next pending Milestone?
Well, that would be the ONE QUARTER MARK to Christmas Season 2017 and said point will arrive on February 12, just three weeks from the day after tomorrow.
My, My!


It is overcast and we have rain pending for today. But that's really not so big of a problem when the temperatures aren't low.
This morning has dawned at 49 degrees and it should remain mild all day and on through the weekend at least.


Have a Fabulous Friday, Friends.
And really enjoy your Weekend Eve in traditional MMC style!

Good morning MMC! Happy Inauguration Day! Whether you're happy about it or not - it's here!! Can't wait for it to be over! Tired of hearing about it. Speaking of - I've already wasted too much time talking about it on our CHRISTMAS forum today!

Mom was admitted to the hospital a little after 8:00 last night. Yep....she arrived at 1:00pm & was in the ER until after 8pm! What a joke! Anyway - she had a good night. I'm feeling like she was just dehydrated & not eating much at all - time to get her home to some good 'ol Emma cooking. But since she didn't get admitted until late last night I'm sure she will have to spend the night again tonight! Grrr! Just praying she doesn't have anymore "black out" episodes! xx I'm planning on heading out of work around 10:30 this morning to go to the hospital & watch the inauguration with her. We have lost my brother, SIL & another sister as visitors today b/c they all have the flu! UGH! Thank you nursing home! 2 of my sisters had it Wednesday....fingers crossed I don't get it!!!!! xx

Everyone, have a Happy FRIDAY!!!!

 

[Holiday]

I'm still praying for your mom, Holiday!

Praying your mom can come home soon and recuperate in the loving arms of her family. And I hope you enjoy the new iPad!

Thank you Brad! I don't think wild horses could drag her back to that nursing home! She's set on coming home! So thankful for Emma!
Loving the ipad so far!
Have a great Friday!

CAH is out of surgery and everything went well. Everything was exactly as they thought, so while she still has a long couple months ahead of her, she should make a complete recovery.

That's awesome news!!

TGIF, Christmas friends!

As Holiday said, Happy Inauguration Day! And as she also said, I'm ready for all the politics to not be front-and-center all the time LOL!

Our customers stayed most of the day yesterday, so now I'm WAY behind. And I have to take Lulu to the vet this morning, on top of that.

Elizabeth left this morning to go to a town near Atlanta with her school choir for a large "choir meet". The main event is tomorrow, so Nancy and I will drive up in the morning.

I'm glad to hear that most of the prayer concerns we had yesterday are improving. God is good! Still praying for Festive Spirit.

Lunch with mom & Jim today. I hope y'all have a great day!

Your mom sure has gone through a lot these past few weeks. I really hope she is feeling better already.

Oh no. Praying hard for her. Hopefully she can get out and get home tomorrow!!

She is in my thoughts, Holiday

Praying for your mom Holiday! I hope she can come home tomorrow and relax which I'm sure would make her feel better

Thank you all for the thoughts & prayers!!!

This morning my sister was at Moms house looking for her spirometer to bring to the hospital (since mom is now coughing...) There is a sun catcher with my Dad's picture engraved in it that says "I will always watch over you" - while my sister was there, it fell off the window!!! It has been hanging there a long time. Just a little eerie, but cool!

Thank you so much for the great news update. I have been praying for her.

Good evening,

Today was the day, I took down all three of my trees. It looks so empty in here. I have all the other stuff still up, but probably only until Sunday.
LC improved again today, just still waiting for the remaining meds to pass through his system. Then we can take the next step in dealing with his anxiety.
Back to work tomorrow, they have been so good while we have been going through all this with LC.

I hope you all had a great day

Goodnight, everyone

Continued prayers for LC! Glad to hear he is improving!

 

[Holiday]

Good morning! TGIF

Happy Friday all, and Happy Inauguration Day to all in the USA. It's great to see another peaceful transition of power, especially considering how hotly contested the election was. No matter who you voted for, you can be proud and grateful to live in a country where a new leader comes to power without revolution and bloodshed, and with the help of the citizens. I know our government isn't perfect, but I think we have one of the better systems. I understand some people boycotted the inauguration, but looking at the crowd in front of the white house I think on the whole people are at least interested in what will happen with our next president. And hey, this is America so the boycotters are more than welcome to use their right of free speech and boycott to their hearts' content. This too is Democracy.
