I slept well. Now that the comforter is on the bed, Thatch has abandoned my warm body for the plush coziness of a downycomforter. Stella, deciding my warm body was cozier trhan her Amazon carton, has replaced him. Annabelle seems happy with her princess pillow, so I'm happy.

At 10:00a.m., I have a session with my new student Ben, so I need a couple of hours to prepare for that. I would have preferred 11:00, but that 5-hour time difference plays real tricks with my mind. 3:00p.m. means 15:00 to Ben, and then my mind goes to pieces.

Today, Shelly and my niece and I are going over to my mom's around noon, and we'll be bringing Panda Express for lunch.  We're going over there to set up my mom's artificial Christmas tree and to decorate her living room.  Then, we'll play our regular Phase 10 later in the afternoon.

Have a good day, all!

We took the car seat to the next-door neighbors for their year-old baby. And the new booster seat from Target should be much easier for this grandma to buckle. It was practically an acrobatic feat to get the big kid buckled into the car seat.

It's Friday, but we do NOT have a show tonight. Maybe I said this already? One of the cast was sick and we moved tonight's ticket holders to another night. And thank goodness, because my post-cold cough is still active. I thought I had nipped it in the bud last week and I've been good about tossing back the Robitussin, but this is one of those times it's persisting. So another day is good for me.

The streets are pretty clear but the drive & sidewalk are not. And since I don't have to go anywhere - they can stay that way.

Oh, no! :o

The “for cause” was despite being married with 3 kids, he was having an affair with his young staffer, who he allegedly stalked and threatened after she broke up with him. After which she went to the school to let them know what had happened. After which he broke into her house and threatened to kill himself with some kitchen knives and scissors.

My cousin & her husband often go to Cedars and they liver really far away.  There isn't anywhere close to them that is good so now they even drive there if they have to go to the ER.

DR George, the Michigan football coach was fired “for cause” on Wednesday.  In my football opinion it’s no loss, but it’s a huge embarrassment to the university that I could do without.

Oh, no! :o

The “for cause” was despite being married with 3 kids, he was having an affair with his young staffer, who he allegedly stalked and threatened after she broke up with him. After which she went to the school to let them know what had happened. After which he broke into her house and threatened to kill himself with some kitchen knives and scissors.

Wow, I hadn't read all of the details.  It sounds like he needs help.

I think we’ve only heard the tip of the iceberg of this story.

The next trip to Disneyland will be a pretty tight fit, I think. Whenever that may be.

Could you trade cars with your son for the trip?

His car is my old car, which has a LOT of miles on it. The car I have now is pretty low mileage. I'd rather take mine.

Oh dear.

Last night I tried to reserve a veggie box. My credit card was declined, which makes no sense to me.

So DH went shopping today, since we won't be getting a box.

True.  He must have been scary though for her to go public and admit an affair with a married man.

When we first moved to Ashland there was a car rental place withing ten minutes of our house.  A few times we took advantage of of the great deals they offered and rented a car to drive to LA.  We figured the cost of the rental more than compensated for the wear and tear on our car.

Those days of great deals are long gone.

Had to do an Instagram order - I would not be surprised if the fold. My last four orders have been delivered two to four hours past the promised time. They apologize but never make it right. The woman I was "chatting" with tonight said it's an epidemic - they can't get enough delivery people and are getting huge complaints daily.

Indiana voted AGAINST redistricting with 10 Republicans joining all the Democrats against it.

I'm sure our magat governor Mike Braun will get a big slap down from Orange Face. And I expect ICE will be let loose in Indiana with a fervor.

Mike's mad and I'm glad.
And I know what will please him.
A bottle of wine to make him shine.
A bottle of ink to make him stink.
And a great big kiss from DONNIE!

HAHAHAHAHAAAAAA



Congrats to Indiana, Jrand...except for ICE possibly being let loose. ::)
