Christmas Countdown - 2017

[Festive Spirit]

Greetings MMC world members. Another early start for the day and that means back into the garage to try and finish what I began yesterday. I did get some nice quality time with Connie yesterday afternoon and into the early evening. But a much needed nap kind of got sandwiched in between.
Getting older is not the worse thing in this world, but there are times when it sure seems to slow things down a bit. I hope you all have a fun Tuesday and a marvelous week...

Good morning Edge. I know you are not up yet and since I may be doing my garage thing when you do, I just wanted to say hi and, since you enjoy your jogging, this quote I saw from Milton Berle.
Enjoy and have a great day...

Sometimes that is true (especially 5:30AM). Sometimes it's the opposite (makes you feel 10 years younger).

Morning MMC! Time to start thinking about Thanksgiving now that our Christmas Season has begun. Everyone at work was talking about it yesterday. Still have plenty of this week to go but the excitement I know will build next weekend. Have to pick out the turkey on Saturday. Hope you all enjoy your 2nd day of the Christmas Season.

Good Morning HMG. Wonderful to hear your MRI results went so well and hopefully the next test will be just as positive. I have one I need to get somewhere down the road as well. In the services, we use to call it the "Intruder Alert".
Have a wonderful week...

Thank you CGYager ~
Most of these tests aren’t exactly pleasant lol but they’re necessary!
Wishing you a wonderful week as well!

Good morning everyone ~
It’s going to be cloudy today with a chance of a shower, highs near 46 degrees. Not too much going on here today, I’m going to make a Costco run with my mother. Back home afterward to work on my daily chores. Dinner will be tacos & Mexican rice. That’s about it for me.
I hope everyone is well and has a great day!

 

[Festive Spirit]

Get a cuppa Rosey Lee down yer Gregory Peck then!

Thank you both. The MRI went well, everything is normal. I have another test coming up on Friday and then I will hopefully be out of the woods!
xx

So glad to hear it went well HMG. Sorry I only just caught your post and did not know. Good luck Friday. Will be thinking of you.

After about an hour of setting up the tree and then unfolding the branches, I turned it on only to find out that a full strand of trees are not working. Kim and I went through the lights, tried changing the fuses and had no luck. It's a brand new tree (retails for $400) and a strand doesn't work. I'd say that is a very disappointing purchase.

It looks like we're going to have to take this tree down and bring it back. A discount of some sort best be made, too.

Prelit trees are so iffy. The best artificial tree I ever owned had a 6 month backlog when I ordered it. (A whole story in itself) but it was prelit and by the 2nd year they stopped altogether. I replaced every bulb and eventually cut out all the lighting and just used the tree and strung lights. Seems like they would just replace the whole thing.

Glad that your MRI went well HMG. David hated getting one when he hurt his shoulder but you're right, it's not pleasant but necessary. Hope you have a great day.

Good Tuesday morning! Woke up at about 2:40am and wasn't able to fall back asleep until about 4:30am. Feeling quite tired this morning. So many things to catch up at work and our work Christmas party is less than two weeks away and that means I have so many things to coordinate with our social committee, I'm even more tired just thinking about it all. Going to go on a long walk with Loki to try and get energized a bit. Have awonderful day everyone!

** CHRISTMAS SEASON DAY 2 **


Good Morning, Friends!

Day two of Christmas Season 2017.
Have you been listening to Christmas music?
Watching holiday movies?
Unearthing those boxes of ornaments, carefully put away last year?
Thinking about festive recipes?
(If not, maybe this just might be the time to start!)

But the count goes on:
Days to Thanksgiving: 9 (SINGLE DIGITS!)
Days to Christmas Day: 41 (UNDER 6 weeks remain!)

(No rest for the weary!)


Slowly it gets warmer. Still rather coolish but we are getting there.
This AM has begun at 46 degrees here in the capital city.
It's clear and dry.and we should reach the mid 50's by this afternoon.


Have a Terrific Tuesday, Folks!

Happy Tuesday!
Looks like a dreary day today.
Not too much planned besides work. I have to take Andre to the vet today for his yearly checkup. He LOVES going to the vet and all the attention he gets. I am taking Leo on Friday and dreading it...lol He goes into complete panic mode, I feel so bad for him.
Hope you all have a great day!
