Good morning, all! How are you? Cool start again here for the day, possible rain showers today. At least no need for the shovel here yet.
We gather once again around the Coffee Cart for shat, support, and community. Meanwhile we drink tea and coffee, and enjoy the productions of our Wonderbaker, who this morning has baked cinnamon rolls for us to enjoy. The tea water is boiling, the coffee is freshbrewed, and the rolls are warm from the oven. All is ready, everybody is welcome. Come, join in the fun!

Yay! More shat! And cinnamon rolls :)
 
The Wonderbaker sure knows how to help us start our day! Thanks.

I took my car in for winter tires and an oil change yesterday...scheduled appointment for 10:00 but I brought it in early because I had a doctor's appointment...needed my husband's car to go to that. I dropped the car off and walked home, about a 15 minute walk. I hung around the house all day waiting for the phone call and finally at 4:30 I called and asked: If I start walking there now, will the car be ready when I get there? "I was just going to call you....I got swamped and it won't be ready until tomorrow morning." I was disappointed more by the fact that he hadn't called earlier to let me know. Then I could have gone for a walk, or done some other things without waiting for that phone call. I know, I know...I could have given him my cell phone number, but I so rarely answer that....

Thought that was the past tense for something that happened in the room's washrooms (and some threads :sneaky:). :D

Grey and drizzly here. Meh. I'm feeling it physically, too. On the upside, had the delightful experience of discovering a new (to me, they've been around about a decade and have 5 studio LPs plus a live album) band last night. Saw a concert video on YouTube with an interesting title, turned it on thinking I would just try a song or two, and ended up watching the first 35 or 40 minutes. Band is a neo-psychedelic/prog act from Greece called Naxatras.

LOL. When I had mine in on Tuesday for the same thing, lunch came and went and I still hadn't heard from them. I called and "yeah, it's ready. We left a message." Checked and there were no missed calls on messages on my cell (which is the number they have). Then I clued in. Somehow, I had the phone on "Airplane Mode". Turned that off and bang, two missed calls and messages. Way to go, ape.:rolleyes::cautious: I use a garage that's walking distance from my office so wasn't a big deal, just weird because they are usually pretty prompt about calling.

I sometimes wonder if I'm losing it because of constant changes in settings on devices ... is there an artificial fault?

In my case, it was probably fat fingers hitting the wrong button when I was trying to activate or deactivate something else. :rolleyes:
 
Whelp, got some buy-in from my mom that we'll drive her everywhere she needs to go. The realization that they can't drive anymore is sinking in and she's planning on places for me to take her. That's a positive development.

The eventual shuffle of vehicles means the daughter will take the old car to uni some time next year, which simplifies her commute to coach weekends and gives her flexibility to coach more often. As a condition, she drives to visit her grandparents once a month to deliver groceries and give the dog some attention. My mom loves the idea of seeing Claire more. The sun rises and sets on that girl.

We will still put my mom on the road once or twice more before Christmas, just to try to teach her. It's hard to be optimistic about it, but she agrees if it doesn't go well, that's it.
 
Good morning! Friday is here. It's downright cold out there, and will remain so all day. (+1 at the moment, high is to be +4. Not really blizzard weather, but %$@#&ing cold nonetheless)
We gather round the Coffee Cart again, to discuss the events of yesterday and plan for the coming weekend, in conversation, support, and connecting. We consume coffee and tea, and enjoy the works of the Wonderbaker. This morning, they have provided us with date-and-nut loaves to enjoy with our caffeine. The tea water is boiling, coffee is freshbrewed, and the loaves are warm from the oven. All is ready, everyone welcome. Come join the fun!

Good evening. I think the weather's not so very cold here in Hwaesong. It was up to 14°C today. Still I'm wearing my winter coat and gloves when outside. I'd love some coffee but will definitely pass on date-and-nut loaves
 
Yum, date and nut. So good.

Settled on the day to celebrate Christmas with the wider family and it's Boxing Day! Yippee.

Husband's father came from Ireland.

Going to have an Irish themed meal.

Lots of fun planning it

There will be 30+ people here from 6 to 76 so lots of fun
 
Sounds like my nightmare, really, but I'm an introvert and probably getting worse. This cruise coming up may be my last, though I know Mrs. M enjoys them. 3000+ people packed onto a ship is getting too overwhelming for me. At least there's lot to see on this one, but there's also 5 days at sea and 2 staying on the ship for sightseeing past things like glaciers. We'll see.
 
I was deeply introverted and familiar with inner goings on and ventured to rise ... mistake? Those up there didn't wish to know and thus recession, regress and all that into domains of non space ... nihil ist IHC? INC being the singular self ... described by the Bishop of Myra ... no stick at al ... thorn? that wakening item ... as mental point!

I have a good, warm fall/spring jacket and layer it with a hoodie if I need more insulation. My parka is strictly for below zero now. We want 14 back. High of four and, for the first time this Fall, a chance of flurries.

*Loads up a plate with date and nut bread, then starts an English Breakfast tea*

Have a long dark blue coat, an oatmeal-coloured puffy jacket, and a dark blue parka with a broken zipper. The latter I sport only on Thursday nights when I take out the recycling.

Ooh... I don't like the thought of flurries! Brrr!

Is English Breakfast your favourite blend?
