Wed Jan 25

Greetings all

Can it really be that I am starting this? Up earlier than usual due to need to clean up before the cleaner comes and to clean up after poor chip who pooped in the night and tracked it all over. Every time I think it's the end and time to take him in he perks up a little. He just ate a good breakfast and had meds.

Yes Liz Bocce ball shirts are in order. I like DD's idea of old style bowling shirts with names embroidered. But t shirts would do. Got a team name? My nephew's baseball team was the "Plumbers Cracks". LOL

It's a bright sunny day and everything is green and fresh looking. Could pass for early spring in the midwest. Not sure when the rain is due.

Peps hope Ron is doing well and not in too much pain. As mentioned, my DH had the same thing. Recovered well.

Lately I am craving chinese food. Guess I will have to make it happen especially since the pot roast remains have moved down the food chain to dog level.

My day is unplanned due to Chip's uncertain status. Hopefully some studio time. Maybe a stop for chinese food.

Studio mission is to figure out salary increase for our director. Pretty much a full time job (for her, not me).

Stay warm all you snow endurers .. I will make the most of my sunny 58 degree day.

Shirley good to hear from you. Enjoy those grandkids. They are precious.

Hi Diane, Sorry Chip had such a tough night leading to a tough morning for you. I'm glad your schedule is such that you could accommodate the needs of the old guy.

Shirl I'd love to get cooking lessons from you! DGS, in Australia, kids wear uniforms in public school too? And school calendar is year round with a somewhat longer summer break in January? Or is that a state by state decision?

Last night I had a crazy dream that I woke up in an old wooden ship. I was unsure where I was, perhaps time travel? Finally I was getting off the ship and people seemed to be concerned or keeping their distance. I somehow walked by a mirror and discovered I was a large brown dancing bear, tutu and all. Make of this what you will, as it seems I may be a wee bit insane.

Very tired tonight, probably from all the dancing (it isn't easy for bears), so my big post work accomplishment is chopping veggies with DH and getting a pot of chili going. It is simmering while we rest. Lots and lots of veggies for our eating delight. (Bears like veggies) .

I would love to have dreams like that! Mine are weird dystopian messes.

A Dancing Bear! I love it! Reminds me of The Sisters Grimm.... The older sister turns into Mama Bear to sneak in to an Everafter Ball given by Prince Charming!
