Our wings are not tired.

Red One? Sounds like a lovely way to spend time.

This morning was an early one starting at 4 AM with digestive issues which lasted several hours. I'm back home and since DH has basketball at dinner time I stopped at the grocery store and bought snow crab legs. They were very tasty, but I think something was amiss. I cooked and ate half of what I bought, but the rest go in the trash. Ugh

If I am able I'll go back across the alley today because one of our extra sons who plays for Southern Georgia now has a game in SW Florida. I'll likely just go to my sisters as I am not up to sitting on bleachers and Brenon will no doubt spend extra time with the coach and D'aynte. We bought my sister a new laptop because hers was old and slow and I'll transfer all the stuff while I visit. The last hurricane damaged her rooftop passive solar heating system for her pool so no swimming. The water was 76F when I checked it!! Too cold for me. She had just had it replaced a couple months ago from last year's Ian. The Gulf coast had been getting most of the storms. We have had it easy on my side recently.

I'm rambling so I'll go back to doing my puzzles.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

There's a giant Red One standee in the lobby of my building (since it's from Amazon Studios) - it looks so stupid but with a great cast, which usually means fun! Maybe I'll suggest that as an alternative to seeing Wicked this weekend.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Red One doesn't look *good,* but it looks like exactly my kind of Not Good.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Yes, Red One, that’s it. I expect to forget it again by dinner, but eh, what can you do. It was exactly the sort of dumb I needed at the time.

Our wings are not tired.

In my last few days visit to my sister's we watched 5 or 6 heist/comedy/action movies on Netflix in avoidance of reality. Twas fun. I don't remember the whole list, but it included Red Notice, Lift, Focus, and Adam Project. We are watching a lot of streamed entertainment now that we are news avoidant.

Red One is on my to see list!

Red One was worth it for the Pitch Meeting. It's very much extruded movie product, but damn, Evans looks good in it.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I have ordered my turkey for Tuesday! So I guess we won't be eating a bucket of twigs after all.

I got up with the intent to run before the next cyclone bomb, but then it poured rain. But only briefly and now I think I can sneak out there and get some exercise. Do I dare?

I wanted to see The Wild Robot but it's down to one screen and a few inconvenient times. Maybe.

I've got to clean stuff out of my fridge to make room for the more food.

Got my flu shot and pneumonia shot! I am now up to date on all the vaccines I'm able to get. Bring on the antibodies!

Our freezer is going to be uncomfortably stuffed until Thursday.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My mother almost bought a frozen turkey this morning with the intention of serving in tomorrow. Luckily, the butcher talked her out of it.

We have a church potluck tomorrow, for which I have made a loaf of bread, pumpkin rolls are in progress, and I frosted some cupcakes that were in the freezer. I am ridiculous.

BUT! I definitely needed the freezer space for my ICE CREAM ADVENT CALENDAR. I'll get it in two halves, so it won't actually be 24 cups of ice cream all at once, but still.

ICE CREAM ADVENT CALENDAR

Genius!

That also reminds me that I need to pick up some cinnamon Graeter's to go with the pumpkin pie.
