What's Happening???

Thank you. He's a really strong guy for 75 years old.

I hope he remains so for a long while more.

 

Mine is complete.

The final package was delivered yesterday.

 

Have you ever read Turgenev?
He has a collection of short stories that I remember liking a lot.

Sketches from a Hunter's Album.

That's the name.

Look it up.
I think the collection influenced Chekhov, so you might enjoy it.
I want to reread it, it's been a while.
You can see yourself in the landscapes tawking to peasants and landowners and millers and so on.

 

We're going to need you to chill out if you're going to be posting in this thread.

This is a No Drama zone.

 

Also, what's this about yule parties?

I want in.

 

And I'm bringing a guy.

 

You can come to my yule party eloise
Which i've decided not to have because the next two weeks are going to be too hectic as is. But next year!
I'll read Turgenev by then. We'll share mead from an antler or whatever people do at these shindigs, and discuss

 

About to start working, making coffee. Dreary day outside........

 

Actually, next year works perfectly for me.
Hey I'll learn to bake by then, and bring something
Or I'll just bring you a book on Slavic mythology or something.
(can't come empty-handed)

 

Dessert is eaten so quickly, but books on slavic mythology last forever

 

I'm working from home today, i could get used to this. I just rolled out of bed at 8 am for my commute down the hallway

 

Hubby is so angry at my son and his wife.

Hubby hurried to get over and see the grandkids off to school, with me right on his heels, and when he got to their house he found that my son and his wife were both at home so we weren't needed at all.

This sent hubby back here just absolutely fuming! He had an accident with his bowels this morning and worked really hard to get over with the grandkids in spite of it.

It was really inconsiderate of my son and his wife to not let us know that they were home this morning, I agree.

She has a doctor's visit that insurance is requiring, and he was turned around on the way to work being told he wasn't needed today or tomorrow because they need him to work this coming weekend.

Well, you know how it goes.

Shit rolls downhill.

 

Welcome to my world now. It is great, isn’t it?

 

Seems like there was a reason behind it but at first, it seems inconsiderate. Sorry your day started off this way!

 

Glad to see you are out of the hospital. Sounded rather scary, waking up in the hospital and not knowing what happened!

 

Christmas shopping, I not a fan but do get a few items for the family. I tend to make presents, beer, cheese cakes, eggnog etc. I like that aspect of Christmas, gets me in the mood. Made a nice hoppy pale ale last night. Shopping in a mall freaks me out anymore, too many people in panic mode.

 

This could make for a cool race, I might even watch it Big studded tires!

 

We have bright sunshine but brutally cold temps, 26F 9-3C). Coffee tasting good

 

Bummer way to start the day. Hopefully it gets better

 

I was hoping you'd say that
