I can see why homicide crossed your mind. How could the problem go on unfixed, for two years, after you brought it up multiple times? ARGH!

New valve in place under the sink. He also helped me change the filters on my water system (I couldn't get them unscrewed) and put a speaker cover back on one of the outdoor speakers that blew off. I could have done that, but it involved a ladder and working over my head, both of which I avoid whenever possible. Oh, and he caulked around my water filter things as water inevitably drips behind the wall when you unscrew them.

I'm sure I've mentioned how bad my cell coverage is at my house and that wifi calling hasn't helped. I couldn't take it anymore and looked into a landline, but I can't get one out here. The internet guy said I should have my a/v guy check the settings on the router. They control that, I can't see it. So though I'd mentioned it to him multiple times, I finally sent an email with everything I've tried that hasn't worked. This is the email I got back this morning: "Good morning Ceci. I just checked on your set up and it looks like I never turned on the setting in the router to enable WiFi calling, I apologize for this. It should be fixed and working now."

You guys, it's been TWO YEARS of phone torture!! Calls dropping or cutting out, people saying I sound like a pixelated robot. And he forgot to turn that on. I was stunned. I wrote back and said, "I don't know whether to murder you or hug you. I'm leaning toward murder..." He was apologetic l but I feel like some kind of pain and suffering remuneration is in order! TWO F$&#ING YEARS.

My bff and our old boss and her husband are coming here tomorrow for 2 days. I'm trying and failing to clean. I have to go do that. I'm so tired and am not up for visitors! I'm sure it will be fun.

Another visitor I had today was kind of fun. This javalina and his "squadron" (good collective noun) dropped by for a snack tonight:

Okay, off to clean and stop procrastinating. Take care friends!

Here are a couple of totems that were a group project at the studio. Not as cool as CC's but fun. ds

Boo is right!

Sorry you had a tough day at work. Enjoy the time with family, the early Thanksgiving dinner and of course the wine!

148.6. Today was split dose injection day. Like Liz, the jury is still out on if this will be more beneficial. I did order then next dose up (7.5) with plans to take less. I think I might even go down to 4.

No bible study today. Lots of cancellations due to snowy roads and busy lives so I made the executive decision to wait until after Thanksgiving to meet again. I think there might have only been one or two others besides me this morning.

Yes, I said snow. Cold, blustery day with about 2 inches of snow on the ground that is thankfully melting quickly. Got the most important rooms of the house cleaned. I really should do the downstairs finished areas too but think I might wait until early next week.

Thinking about making "cheese buttons" for my husband for dinner. It is a dish from his childhood that he has fond memories of and I got the recipe from his sister. It is essentially a dumpling stuffed with cottage cheese and I think onion. You boil them first and then fry. They don't sound too appetizing to me, but I'll try them once! The worst part is I have to make the dough for the dumplings (rolling out and cutting and everything). I don't think they have a dipping sauce but think they should. Perhaps I'll come up with something!
