Replacing the much lamented 'On My Mind' profile option, this thread is for musings, jottings, whimsies, preoccupations and the rest of the thesaurus for anyone to jot down anything they please.
I can't remember what the maximum character count was before, can anyone else? But anyway it wasn't very many so let's keep to that.
Yeah with 4 boys, I'm very desensitized with that stuff
After the nightmares, I don't watch that stuff after dark
( My exception has been the Harry Potter movies, which are so well done.)
must go back to watching my usual innocent, feel-good rom coms. will watch one RIGHT AWAY.

My goodness - that is difficult to wake up and then get back to sleep. Prayers for your sore throat to get better. Wrap up in a warm blanket.
Thank you. No, I don' t take any sleep meds. I usually wake up in the middle of the night for a few hours then go back to sleep. I am just feeling a sore throat and have been cold today, so maybe that made it worse.
We are in the "below freezing" weather now - hovering around OC (32F). I think fall is over.
nacy - I can relate to the "small town" thing. We had a lovely husky cross who was an escape artist. He could open the lobster claw clasp on his leash and did regularly to tour the neighbourhood. But he was a sweetie. Came home one day to find him in his enclosure nicely leashed with a note from the bylaw officer. "What a nice dog. Try to keep him in." Another time the bus stopped opposite the house and the driver came out with Mooch, hanging onto his collar and brought him to the door. "He's Dave's dog isn't he? " Dave is my middle son and was well known to the bus driver and well liked by everyone.
On my mind, I wish I could wake up faster. Some days it takes me hours before I am "with it". Until then I have to drink coffee and fake it. never had that problem earlier in my life.
Tuesday we have workers coming to install new condensate lines for the new high efficiency furnace we will eventually have to get. The furnace room in out on the balcony and, though small, also useful for extra storage. Next 10 lb bag of jumbo carrots goes there. Yes I will - they were great carrots, a great price, and have kept well.
I know at least two, but I have temporarily lost track of the exact date.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY anyway,
in a sincere loving way!
It's crazy warm, like weird warm. Sat outside for 3 hours, left the rest of the candy out side, I'm tired, most mentally, had enough.some stragglers will find it I'm sure.
Going on a little hike tomorrow morning, with a gf. Love this odd weather, but honestly I really have things inside I need to do, and I'm looking forward to quieter days.
80 degrees! We’re in the 60s and rainy. I feel bad for the kiddies but I know a little rain wouldn’t have stopped me as a child.
I always buy Halloween candy twice; doubly dumb because we haven’t had a trick-or-treater in 25 years at either of our houses.
But I really love Junior Mints in the little 6 piece boxes. I couldn’t even find them this year.
Yesterday the door bell rang, I went to the door , and there was a police man?!?!
He was actually trying to contact my neighbor, because he was looking for a fenced in yard to keep a dog that got loose and wanted to wait till the owners got home , instead of putting him in the pound.
That stuff doesn't happen everyday
my heart goes out to you.
"I wish Heaven had visiting hours."
I have 400 pieces of candy. Give or take, mostly take, someone got into them. 🤭.
Just watched the today show, Halloween special, 😃. It was cute!
It makes me wonder if God is telling me that she isn't too far away from being a nursing home resident.
A while back I suggested to DH that maybe he should ask his aunt ( MIL’s sister 10 years younger ) to talk to her . He said no . Just let her be a ward of the state.
I’ll try it again . Maybe he will since it seems he is going to let himself get more involved . Uggh
I'm so glad she gave your dh her doctor's name and number. That says to me she knows she is declining. Dh will make contact when he feels it is right.
That brother - arrgh! Wanting his share of the money and pressuring your dh to settle the estate. No respect!!!
I understand that dh is concerned about his mother's welfare. Despite all, she is his mother and he feels a duty to care for her. I get that and felt the same way. On the other hand, I didn't say much to mother about getting her paper work in order. Her financial advisor (who she really liked and respected) did that - and then she told me that he wanted her to get her papers in order. I think he was tired of dealing with her as well as knowing she was of an age when she should have it done. So eventually it happened. No way I could have led her through it. She had to make the decision herself.
It's so stressful dealing with these kind of people!!!!
