Happy Birthday Nora!
'Smile Time'
Natter 77: I miss my friends. I miss my enemies. I miss the people I talked to every day.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I have to go back and meara (Boo in particular to Matilda’s ex) but I always thought that Nora was MUCH younger than I am. But I won’t be 50 until next week!
Happy Birthday!
A small child took my crutch out from under me at the ice cream social tonight.
WTAF, small child.
It’s almost 1am and I’m just getting in bed. Wild night for me! Went to karaoke with friends—slow start but eventually it filled up and we sang a bunch and enjoyed some characters. One dude sang “I’ll make a man out of you” from Mulan…and later “Lose Yourself”. Range.
Only problem was I said bye to my friends and stopped at the bathroom as I was leaving, then remembered I had a coat and went back to get it and my friends and the coat were gone. Yay friends for grabbing it for me except…it had my car keys. Thankfully a few frantic phone calls and texts later I managed to get one of them to answer and she could still see the one who had my coat, and it got back to me so I could get home. I’m going to miss my friend when she heads out of town next week! I also miss going to karaoke with a big group of friends.
That sounds like so much fun, meara, well except the almost being stuck there all night!
My thanks to DebetEsse for a delightful "get well" card. It has a pop-up of a Chinese-style dragon, described as the "dragon of Robust Immune Response."
Cheered me right up.
I am mostly over my case of Covid. I tested negative yesterday, but still have an occasional cough. I am very thankful that what I had was pretty mild, and responded well to rest, hydration, chicken soup, and basic self-care.
Good to hear, dcp. Take it easy for a while longer.
Keep up the getting better, yes. Nice.
Timelies all!
Happy belated birthday Nora!
{{{David and Matilda}}}
Been a busy week. Wednesday Gary and I went to see Jonathan Coulson and Paul & Storm at the Birchmere. Fun, but I have sooo many ear worms now, Thursday we went to the house to do laundry.
Last night was erev Rosh Hashanah, so we went to Gary’s mom’s house for dinner and services. Unfortunately, Mr. S was very restless, so we ended up leaving after dinner. He didn’t settle down back at the hotel, and didn’t fall asleep until after 11. Today we arranged for his nanny to watch him while we went back to my MIL’s to stream services.
I skimmed. I did pay attention to Matilda's now ex. That really sucks.
Work is tiring. But I feel less bad than I did. I'm on a 15 min break. Earlier today a customer stopped and asked "where is your pancake mix?" And I told her and the boy with her (little brother I assume) lingers behind and kind of stage whispers on a conspiratorial way " I'm sorry I only told her 1000 time where to find it". He looked like he was 10 or so.
