Sounds like you have had a very productive day! Your owl ornament sounds like a great idea. We cannot keep a bird, squirel or gopher near our yard, our cats keep them cleaned out.
You deserve to put your feet up after all that back breaking work.
Thanks SB, we did relax on the recliners this afternoon, nearly fell asleep
Yes, your cats would certainly be better than an owl sensor

I'm recuperating from a lovely evening with friends. We had Margaritas and sampled some fancy tequilas. We did a taste comparison between making Margaritas with triple sec and with Cointreau. The Cointreau was much smoother and maybe a little richer. The triple sec, on the other hand, had a nice bite to it. Hard to say which I prefer. Then we had supper.
I'm exhausted from all the cleaning. I'm a bit of a lazy cow, so I need motivation to get the cleaning done. I should invite friends over more often. I even polished the silverware.
If this post is a bit discombooberated, it's 'cause I had Margaritas, tequila, wine with supper, and ice wine with dessert. I'm definitely in a good mood. I even managed to load the dishwasher and run it.
One tequila, 2 tequila, 3 tequila floor
I was nicknamed the Tequila Queen when I was in my 20's, now I can't even smell it without feeling a bit green
I'm in my 1-3 drinks max phase, think my liver has been pickled already
There was a time when my sister and I used to drink a bottle of tequila gold each to start our party evenings and finish with some Italian personality (Sambuca). To think I used to drink men under the table without even getting tipsy. Now it only takes about 4 drinks
The kids have calmed me down!

Praying the next storm passes us.
Well the Verizon tech showed up asked where the phone box was outside and that was the last we saw of her. I never heard her doing anything outside. Two hours later the power went out again for about an hour. Apparently a crew working on the lines down the road a bit from us snapped 2 huge power lines and knocked out the whole grid in this area. A crew that came up from down south to help with storm repairs where in the area and capped the lines and PSE&G got us back up quicker than I thought. So I still have no phone.
I am running out of fuel for my furnace. I am waiting to make my meatballs till I can't take the cold any more then will bake them in the oven so the house will warm up.
A friend suggested getting some yellow gas cans to get diesel fuel for my furnace. BUT all the places that have power and are open don't have any of those cans and they won't let you put it in anything else. SO if I can't find cans and the fuel company can't deliver I will have to heat the house with the oven and clothes dryer and be a nervous wreck waiting for this next storm thats supposed to hit on tuesday or wednesday. If we get the snow and freezing weather the water pipes will break and this area can't deal with any more water problems on the ground or a loss of fresh water.
Hub worked all night then had to change a flat tire on his (even plate) car before he went to gas staion this morning. That car didn't have enough gas to make it to PA. He waited 2 1/2 hours before they announced they were only going to take cash now. He had to come home and thankfully I had some cash left. He waited another 3 1/2 hours for gas and now he is at a Pep Boys getting the tire patched. He refuses to get a cell phone or else I could have brought him the money and saved him the second 3 1/2 hour wait.

Thank you. I lost cell signal again. It keeps going out. Which is even more upsetting because I have no phones if there is an emergency.
(((Hugs MsM))) Oh dear, oh dear. Sending good vibes in your direction.

Take a breather, stress is no good for anyone. My advise is put something warm on your feet (when your feet are warm, you will be too)
Go sit and rest for a few minutes and just relax.
Everything is going to be fine, just believe that. The mind is a powerful tool. We are all here for you.

Watching the news on TV and thinking that I have to go to work tomorrow! Wish it could be weekend for a few more days!
Good Vibes, thoughts and prayers are all good...I just wish there was some way to get MsM some heating oil.

I also have to go to work tomorrow. Which is good. Need the money because I lost 5 days from the storm and 2 days the week before because I was sick.

lolMy teeth are much better now...getting a bubble bath.
Thanks ! I needed a good laugh. I just got home, walking 12 blocks in the rain, as dh forgot to pick me up after a meeting. I'm trying real hard not to want to rip his head off about now.
The time change got me anyway...I went to the new natural food store here, without Shrek the kamikaze shopper, and was able to take my time wandering the store and looking at everything. Looked at the clock in the car and realized I had been in the store for close to three hours. Yikes! But, actually I was only in there for two hours, I had forgot to change the car clock.

Watch out. The microwave might try to get you too.

I broke a part of a tooth . Wondering if and when I will be able to get to the dentist. This is really getting to be unreal. One thing after another. I am wondering if the black cloud I have hanging over me spawned Sandy

Our microwave display has been broken for years so you can't read the time. That's one less problem we have. I look forward tomorrow or the next day when I drive the car for the first time and forget I have to change the clock.

Oh great. Hope you get to the dentist, MsM!
It's this guy's fault:
(anyone else remember Lil Abner?)
