I'm curled up on my side, the dachshund is cuddled up between my butt and my knees. She is warm.
Natter 72: We Were Unprepared for This
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
CJ and I are headed to see Frozen soon (if he gets off his ass and puts his shoes on). Tomorrow we have three Christmas shifts. 9ish will be CJ, KCD, B, and me. Noonish is CJ, K-Bug, and me. Then 3:30ish my friend K and her son B are joining CJ and I for whatever I put together for dinner.
Timelies all!
Sitting in Barnes and Noble. Not much going on here other than food. We just came from brunch at The Original Pancake House. Later we'll do an early dinner of Chinese food.
Huh, the brass manifold for my little drip irrigation system sheared off at the faucet. That seems like an odd point for spontaneous failure.
Oh well, one more reason to put in a new swamp cooler and re-do the watering system entirely.
I got an email this morning letting me know that I didn't get the job in The Hague. Merry Fucking Christmas.
Boo! Fuck The Hague! Which Hague? The Hague.
Bollocks, Sue. I'm sorry, that sounded like a marvelous opportunity. I hope something else opens up that's even better.
I got up early and walked the dogs with my sister, and came up with a menu for tomorrow. Wrapped presents, had breakfast, and now I'm going to the gym. On the way home I will pick up the prime rib for tomorrow. And then I may help make some pies, and then pick up Dad to take him to Christmas Eve mass.
Busy day!
Sorry to hear it Sue. Their loss, for certain.
Thanks guys. I'm bummed, even though my intuition said it was a no. I never expected to make it this far when I applied so...yay me?
In the Catskills. I did an emergency run for replacement gifts (left the prezzies home, alas), so everyone is getting cooking gadgets this year. OTOH, I like them more than the presents I'd already gotten, so somebody is Winning.
Sue, I'm sorry -- yeah, the competition has to be tough for a job like that, so getting that far has got to be impressive. But still, not the news you want.
