Christmas Countdown - 2018

[xmastidings]

Morning MMC. On my drive home I saw a huge tree in someone's yard lit up with all Christmas lights. Was pretty awesome and still amazes me to see how many have them up. It's weird to look at our forecast for next week and see 50s and even a couple of 60s. That's spring not winter but somehow I think we'll do like usual which is March comes and bam we get hit with some storm. Other than that, just another day at work and hard to believe today has been 50 days since Christmas Day. Have a good day!

Edge, I’m with you. This warmish weather is for the birds. I think it promotes people spreading illnesses around more. It’s winter, this is when one expects the cold and snow. I think that after this warming trend, we are going to get nailed late February into March with those heavy, wet snows. I’ll take them as long as the power lines and trees don’t come down.

Good evening,

Sorry for being away for so long, probably not the best to post about depression and disappearing for 21 days. I have been working on myself, I have had my meds switched up again, and so far it feels like the right mix. I have been approved for an intermittent leave of absence so I don't have to worry if I need to take an actual mental health day when I need to, the last few months I have gone in on days when I shouldn't have. I finally took down 2 of my three trees today, I couldn't find the strength, or right frame of mind to do it, and it really hasn't been a big deal to keep my trees up until February 12, they were there to help cheer me up.
I am ok, I don't plan on disappearing like that again.
Goodnight, everyone

I hope this new mix of meds is the right one to help you feel better, my friend.

Glad you're back.

Good morning. This is truly a morning where I need coffee running in my veins. I am in such a cloudy haze this morning. I took a Xanax way too late last night to help me sleep and it has not had the proper time to wear off yet.

Oh man, what a night last night. My brother calls me last night night, upset, distraught, sad, angry because his son had a mental breakdown yesterday. I’m still in shock and am upset myself. His son opened up that he was sexually molested 13 years ago. Oh dear Lord, I am praying for him and my brothers family.

My brother lost his job, as a supervisor for Baltimore City mass transit administration and is in the process of getting a medical retirement because of severe back issues; they have no health insurance, no income coming in. His son needs to go to counseling ASAP. I stayed up last night looking online to help, to see if there are any free government assisted counseling out there that could help him.

I was only able to find two, but I was not sure if what I found were the right things or not.

What a thing to hear. I’m sick in my stomach from hearing that last night. Please pray for my nephew and my brothers family to help them to heal.

Thank you!

Bless his heart, your nephew really needs help. I'm so sorry for him and your brother's family. I'll be praying that he gets the help he needs.

Good Tuesday morning, Christmas friends!

It's still overcast and yucky, but it's a day the Lord has made!

Nancy and I are trying to implement our New Year's Resolution, and get healthier. I know, everyone says it, but I'm the one who's going to follow-through, doggone it! We walked a couple miles yesterday afternoon, and we plan to make that a daily priority. I'm also thinking I'll throw a bike in the back of the truck and ride it home for lunch on nice days, as an added bit of exercise. I only live 1.2 miles away, so it's not a big deal.

We'll see! I hope y'all have a great day!

Good morning MMC! We started this morning off with a chilly 19º but we're supposed to hit 41º this afternoon. I love seeing all the frost on the rooftops in the morning! (Weird, I know!) Our 15 day forecast is a little too warm for my liking. Now there are lots of 50's in there!! Too early for that! But I guess there's not much I can do about that!

Lucy was very happy to see her daddy yesterday - and he was very happy to see his girl! It was back to the grind for him today! Always a tough day to get back in the swing! At least it's not Monday...

Everyone, have a GREAT day!!!

Thank you! Yes, Rocky will fit in the pocket of the shirt. There’s plenty of room, he’s still a peanut. I took this picture this morning ~

Good morning MMC ~
It’s going to be cloudy and cooler today with highs near 35, we’re currently at 25 degrees. I have to do some food shopping this morning. I’m just having my coffee and playing with Rocky right now. I’ll sneak out of here when he takes a nap. Other than that I will be working on my daily chores. Dinner will be tacos and bean & cheese enchiladas. That’s about it for me. Hope everyone is well. Have a great day everyone!

It's Shrove Tuesday everywhere, but in a certain county in Maryland, it's Kinkling Day. Oh, how I'd love to have a bag of them!



I have a lousy cold ... felt it coming on the last two days. Ugh. I'd love to be curled up in bed today getting some extra rest.

I had a weak moment at the grocery store yesterday & bought myself some Peppermint Mocha creamer. Mmmm, mmmm!!

 

[Holiday]

Happy Milestone Day, MMC!!! Well the warmer air is moving in here and with it, my allergies have gone crazy. So I’ve spent most of the day in a Benadryl daze. Now I’m just watching the olympics and doing some cleaning. I hope everyone had a great day!

I hear you! I had a sinus headache all day Sunday!! UGH! Hope you are feeling better!!! Have a good Tuesday Made!!

I'm afraid we will pay for this in March! Have a good day Edge!

Happy Tuesday!
Looks like it is going to be a nice and sunny day with some warmer temps.
My daughter has basketball practice tonight and I am going to make pork chops for dinner.
Hope you all have a good day!

Enjoy the sunshine!! Have a great day SFM!

Good for you!! I use to ride my bike back to work after lunch - and then back home again obviously!! LOL! But then it started cutting into my lunch hour/time at home & I quit!! I should do that again this summer! Good luck! And have a good day!
