Christmas Countdown - 2018

[GWarren]

Good morning. The countdown is sure looking mighty good Crown, with the 100 days to the start of the season coming; yes, so exciting. It's a raining day and it appears that this could be like this for the rest of the day. I'm just relaxing here, working on my second cup of coffee, thinking about what I'm going to do today. The first thing I'm going to do is repair an homemade electrical malfunction that the previous homeowner did. Sheesh, I had a GFI that wouldn't work, so I started to slowly investigate the problem and I discovered it this morning. the electric wiring was installed wrong. I'll fix it and it will be as good as new.

I had an episode last night that scared my wife, I never told her that in the past, I have had a couple of times to where I have flat out, passed out; like boom, hitting the floor full force passing out. I just didn't think about it because it's been a long while (years) since that has happened to me. We went out shopping all afternoon and into the evening, and I had hardly ate or drank anything all day, except for a bowl of cereal first thing in the morning. It got to be around 6pm and we were at Bed, Bath and Beyond and all of a sudden I started to not feel good (feeling light headed, weak, sweaty, my legs got shaky and I had an overall sick feeling. I recognized the symptoms right away and as we were checking out, I grabbed 2 of the largest candy bars and sat down on a nearby bench and inhaled them. Jill was getting concerned because, that is not something I usually do. after about 10-20 minutes later, I stated to feel better. Oh, trust me, it was getting right at that point to where I was going to collapse, because I was getting soaked with sweat.

I have had episodes in the past of low blood sugar, to the point to where I've passed out, big time.

I told her and she was very concerned that I had never told her this before, because it is medically serious. I just explained to her from the bottom of my heart, that since its been a long while since that has happened to me, I totally forgot all about it. So, for now on, she is going to keep some hard candies in her purse, as a just in case thing and I need to better regulate my eating habits. It's my own fault, I should of had ate something during the course of the day and that would of never had happen. Live and Learn....

Take care of yourself. It comes on fast. Glad you're doing better.

Well, it's finally cooled down considerably with the rain. It's supposed to last throughout the day, so it's a day for inside. Grocery shopping is done for the week. There's a pot roast in the slow cooker for tonight, and possibly leftovers for tomorrow. I've taken some bananas out of the freezer to make banana bread this afternoon. A quick bit of lunch and I think it's the best type of day for a Christmas movie. The hardest part is figuring out which one.

Only two weeks to go until the 100 day mark. Time is flying by. Have a good Sunday all.

Good Morning, friends~

Merry Sunday!!

We are laying low around the house today. We’d like to get some yardwork done, as well as catch up on laundry. It’s beautiful outside, so we are going to grill out with some of our neighbor friends tonight. And walks with the girls of course. That’s about it for us.

Wishing you all a beautiful & relaxing day ahead~

Hope you have a great Sunday!

Y'all, The Little Mermaid has been a whopping success! I'm getting ready to go to the last show, a Sunday matinee. Elizabeth was starting to get sad this morning, because the show is ending today. Bu there's still plenty to do. In fact, yesterday she auditioned for the next musical, The Addams Family. That should be a lot of fun, too!

Good afternoon, friend~

Hope all goes well with the electrical re-wiring!!

That must’ve been scary for Jill, and you. Take good care of yourself!

Make sure to carry snacks with you for times like that, to tide you over until your next meal. Thinking of you.

Have a wonderful Sunday!

Good afternoon, my fun-loving Christmas friends. Hope all is well. We went to eat last night with my Mom...had a blast. Church this morning, lunch is done...now to go outside...except one of my little sunshines is sleeping. Going to let her rest for a little longer and then we are off to play outside.

School is quickly approaching! Got some prep to do today for some meetings this week....but that can wait until tonight. It is in the high 80's with low humidity and a breeze....a nice reprieve from what we have experienced that past month.

I'm usually one who enjoys the summer, but I'm ready for this one to be over.

Hope everyone is having a great Sunday! Yesterday we went to Hobby Lobby. Just seeing an entire WALL of pumpkins all lined up made me so happy! And the rows and rows of Christmas stuff? I was in Heaven. They had 4th of July merchandise and some summer merchandise 80% off. I got two nice red white and blue garlands for $1.20 a piece. And then 9 summer plates...4 of which were heavy glass. My total for 9 plates and two garlands was $16.00!!! What a deal!

Evening everyone and a happy Sunday. Hope the weekend has treated you all well. Another warm one here, we took a long walk and stopped off for some coffee today, just making the most of some time off before the grind starts again.

Good evening all.

Well, Nathan found out yesterday that he is not leaving for the Army for another week. His ship out date was moved so instead of leaving this Monday it will be next Monday. The same thing happened to me back in 2002 except I did not find out until I was at in-processing (MEPS) and suppose to leave just hours later. So I had to head back home and return the next week. Nathan at least found out a few days ahead of time.

In other news... the weather has been VERY rainy, but coolish. We had some storms yesterday, but mostly rain today.

Does anyone know if Kringle Radio is replaying Tracking Santa as usual? I hope so, I always enjoy listening to as much as I can. I miss bits and pieces on December 23 and 24 so I really like hearing it again and getting to listen to the parts I missed.

Well, everyone have a great night!

Good luck to Nathan and God Bless him. Thank you both for your service!

Good Morning MMC !!

we are being blessed with some much needed rain here.

Off to church this morning, then driving practice with my daughter who just finally got her first car.

Congrats to her!
