Yes, sending healing thoughts her way. She must take care of herself first in order to take care of her loved ones. Thank you for letting us know.
DH is trying to fix the coffee maker, which has started to leak water all over the counter. If he doesn't get it fixed, no coffee tomorrow morning!!!
I understand the cat stapler but the three-legged pig and the can of Unicorn Meat left me worrying about you. Will your surgery fix this?
Addie, we're doing all that. But thank you for reminding us! Mamma is coughing up stuff again today and she had some toast and orange juice for breakfast.
With love,
~Cat
I say "Listen to the doctor." You have the rest of your life to go to work.
No fun, huh Andy? Himself has the same problem with a big ol' body in a small space. Plus, he'd rather work with electricity than water because "electricity doesn't leak".;-)Just finished installing a replacement spray hose on the kitchen sink. The hose on the old one cracked so I had to keep it pulled out and in the sink so the leaking water went down the drain instead of under the sink. Fortunately, this faucet set comes with free lifetime replacement parts.
The difficult part for me is to contort my fat old body under the sink and reach up behind and around a garbage disposal and a 10" deep sink to get to the connections. Fortunately, SO was available to provide a second pair of hands topside while I was down under....
Happy thoughts for you PF that today is an easy day and you get all the last minute stuff done before you are off! I'll be thinking of you tomorrow morning, and hope that everything goes well for you, and mentally sending calming thoughts to Shrek. Looking forward to hearing from you on Friday morning
Cat, I hope everyone at your house is starting to feel better! It is especially tough when it is our parents who are sick. My dad was very sick this past summer, I can relate to how worried you are about Mamma Cat. I'm glad papa will call you regularly, he will be missing you and mama cat very much I'm sure!
Fooo! That Ogress will be posting tomorrow night and back to work in a week! Along with her three-legged pig and her Unicorn Meat, also!
Thank you, Toffiffeezz! It's very alarming to see Mamma sick. She never gets sick. I'm sorry your dad was sick; it's true about parents. Papa and DA are still well, thank goodness!
I wish this cough would go away. Uck!
With love,
~Cat
Looks as though I can join the sick crew. I've had a crappy old-fashioned cold for 9 days now and my patience has run out. It began innocently enough with a slight bit of laryngitis, which then morphed into mild congestion, along with some minor coughing. Well, boys and girls, it developed into a world class coughy, snotty cold. My ribs are sore to the touch from coughing and, for the same reason, my abdominal muscles are as hard as cast iron. This is NOT the way to get 6-pack abs!
The worst part is that I'm tired beyond measure because I can't get a full night's rest because of the coughing. I've tried a myriad of things but none have been even moderately effective. It just has to run its course and seems to be quite bit better today. I at least slept enough last night that I had a memory of a dream when I awoke this morning. That's progress.
Cat, I'm sending thoughts of continued positive progress for your mother and everyone else in hour house who is down with the plague. Boy, doesn't this help us be thankful for when we feel good?!
I shouldn't complain as it's been, literally, over 20 years since I was down with a bug or a cold. Not a bad average.
PF take care and kick butt and take names as necessary!!!
Cat was sitting at her desk when she started coughing and all of a sudden blood gushed out of her nose and it looked like she tried to get up and she said something in Romanian and passed out. Carl called 911 for an ambulance and.......we're waiting to hear from Carl. I'll let you know as soon as I hear from him. So sorry to ruin everyone's New Year day.

We have green bins for organic matter. I use the city-provided green bin to store 90 lb of chicken feed. The organic waste goes either to the chickens or compost. As far as burning garbage, I heat with wood, so yes, I do use garbage as a fire starter...the government hasn't figured out how to regulate what we burn in our woodstoves or how to police it...It depends on the city. My city has compostable collection for everyone who doesn't live in a condo or apartment. Montreal is phasing in compostable collection. I'm pretty sure that burning garbage is illegal.
I think the main concern about the garbage disposals isn't the environment, but the cost of the extra chemicals for water treatment.
Why waste the time on sweet talk? Just threaten him with a good beating. It worked on me real well from Mama.

Holding you in our hearts tomorrow, Princess.
Good luck tomorrow PF.
One way or the other, I'll be thinking of you.
you will be in my thoughts tomorrow, pf. i'm sending along a stash of hugs for you to apply as needed once your surgery is done. can you feel the love that is coming to you from dc? so many dear friends embrace you at this time. feed on that love, pf. we'll see ya friday....
Awwwww. Perfect, Andy!
Best wishes, PF, and way to get it over with early, while the surgeons are stll fresh and sufficiently nonshaky and recovered post NYE. We'll be anxiously awaiting news!
Cat has a dry erase board over her desk with all the names of people who need prayers and thoughts. Ogress is written on it in all upper-case green letters. There's other names there too.
We're all here for you too, Ogress!

No dinner thread yet?
Well I'll post what I am doing here.
I plan on throwing some frozen biscuits in TO shortly and heating up some of that turkey 'n biscuits I made the other day with a side of prime rib bones.
I am loving that TO. That's what I cooked my lobster and cod in last night, and some more cod that I had today for lunch. It's so nice to have an accurate oven, even if it is small.
