Thanks, ltc is asleep, and I should go to bed. But it is so quiet, I'm just going to enjoy it for a bit more. I can't wait for the holidays to be over. ltc is going to get so spoiled by everyone that I fear she is going to be impossible to deal with. TCG's current job is great, but he doesn't have a much vacation time as he used to have. So, I'll be solo parenting for much of her holiday break (and there is no karate until after New Year's either). t /scrooge
You'll fight, and you'll shag, and you'll hate each other till it makes you quiver, but you'll never be friends.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
Happy Solstice, everyone. Cards arrived today; thank you!
Bev, that was a gas station?!?

Huh -- I didn't even know Roto-Rooter existed around here.
I wonder if they will pick up the phone this early on a Sunday.

Our wings are not tired.
Ah, not the only early to rise Buffista. Is it something you can find on you tube or google, Theodosia?

I am early is rising too, but I was watching a movie. I had a dream that my plumbing went crazy because of the Christmas Ornaments! There was water everywhere. Luckily, in my dream, the apartment was also at work, so I could call building maintenance

I went to sleep early. DH was up at 5:30 this morning because of a basketball tournament and I just decided to have some tea and read in bed. My son got a job at Walmart and has orientation this morning at 9. I'll Pick him up and bring him. Chances of this lasting improve if I drive him to work. He can bus home.

I am also up v early—heading to the airport. But because my alarm was set so early I slept horribly. Oh well. Hopefully the flight will be uneventful.

I slept pretty well until 4, but after that it was sketchy. Feeling better now. Realized I can at least jury-rig a hose from the drip to the sump-pit, which will keep the cellar floor dry.

It is unfortunate that most jobs you can work your way up in require timeliness. I was lucky, because I was very good at it when I was young. Now I am terrible but also have a job that doesn't care if I spend three hours working in the middle of the night and come in at 10!

Also, one of the Irises on my flower arrangement opened! So pretty. Petunia plucked out some greenery and threw it on the floor, but is not eating the flowers!
