What are you doing?

Finished the turkey stock, need to shred the meat from the drumsticks and wing. Just waiting for it to cool down.

Tomorrow is laundry, trash and may have to go in to finish some more work day. I've been running the office on my own this past week, doing the work of 4 people. Not fun.

 

[kezlehan]

Hope you will be feeling better soon.

So sorry to hear that, Kezlehan. Sure hope things get better.

Thank you We were actually there for my mum not me, but after a good nights sleep, I'm feeling a little better after a very stressful day. Who knew sitting in a hospital could be so tiring!

it's worse when you are there for someone you love. hope your mom is well, kez. get some rest.

1 hour, 40 minutes to go. boring night. routine maintenance work all night. i hate vacuuming off consoles and monitors and running diagnostic tests all night.

looking forward tio bringing home eggs and pancakes for everyone as a surprise, though.

Ugh, maintenance. Looking through log files, running sys checks, monitoring backups, running updates. All that stuff is better than doing nothing, but not by much.

 

[buckytom]

boy, you said it, pag! an hour and 9 minutes to go...

 

[purple.alien.giraffe]

I've got 9 minutes left. They will take their time though.

Since I decided to retire (nobody wanted to give me a job!) I've been putting all my efforts into my house to maybe win back some of the depreciation from the economy crash. Inside, along with a thorough cleaning, I am replacing all the screens with pet resistant material, I took down my bedroom curtains and washed them, removed the old (dirty) white 2-inch metal blinds that came with the house and replaced them with 1-inch dark walnut wood blinds, and put the curtains back up. It looks like a different room. I still need to get someone in to steam clean my couch and love seat. The floors are either hardwood or ceramic tile, so the rugs I can clean with my little Bissel machine.
...

Sounds like Uber Spring Cleaning -- what will you do when spring cleaning time comes next March or April?? Of course, with your wonderful weather, it's probably hard to see the season changes , so that now is as good as ever. Perhaps when your house and yard are finished, you'll just put your feet up for a while and sit back with a cold drink in your hand and a smile on your face.

Thank you, it means a lot

Back home from the hospital. Worst day ever. Sat in bed now, with the laptop, watching Come Dine With Me on the TV, with a can of cider. Muchly needed. Stressful day.

hope your mom makes a swift recovery and be home soon. hospital time can feel like an alien time warp. it's sure no fun, ever.

After many years of unhappy excitement, boring is wonderful.

Turned off the TV tonight and listened to some old time radio shows of Fibber Mcgee and Molly and The Great Gildersleeve. A person can rediscover their imagination.

 

[Somebunny]

I agree Joanne! We used to be able to get those old programs and others like The Shadow on a Canadian radio station on Sunday nights, sadly the station is no longer broadcasting them....I miss it :-(

Yes, we are very lucky were I live to have a radio show every Sunday night called The Big Broadcast from 6 to 12pm.

Always a sad trip, Bt.

Sorry about your losing your cat, BT.

Kudos to your little guy for his accomplishments.
