Good morning ladies! I'm WFH today because I didn't want to drive home in holiday traffic with snow. I ran to the grocery store when it opened at 6 for a few last minute things. I have one errand to run at lunch, then I'm hoping not to leave the house again until it's time to go to my parents on Monday. I was supposed to do a mock trial tomorrow (nosework... not legal sunshine), but it's being postponed due to the weather. It's a good decision, but I'm disappointed I don't have anything to do tomorrow. I was looking forward to a long day with my dog. I need to bake a lemon/vanilla cheesecake and shortbread cookies this weekend. I'm going to attempt to make shortbread sandwiches using my over-thickened sauce as a filling. I've poured out a thin layer of sauce in a pan in hopes of being able to cut it with a cookie cutter after it cools.

I'm sorry about the trial ven. I have an appointment this morning and then I plan on coming home and lying down so that I can hopefully make it to SIL's holiday party tonight for a few minutes. My back is still sore from going out to the brewery for a few hours the other day. Then hopefully we can just hunker down until after this snow system comes through. I'm trying to get DH to do something special on Christmas. I fucking love the holidays and we don't celebrate them because he doesn't like them. He won't even agree to a special breakfast (and by special I mean something more substantial than cereal). Boo! His birthday gift will be here today too.

ven, I'm sorry about the trial. LINGERLONGER, I hope you can find a way to celebrate, and sorry your back is still hurting. D still has school today even though it snowed. He's got a concert this morning, so MH, C and I are going to watch him sing. It should be cute. After that, I think C & I have an exciting day of cleaning ahead of us.

LINGERLONGER I'm not a big holiday person myself, but I celebrate because it's important to the people I care about. It's not that hard and making a breakfast fancier than cereal isn't asking a ton...

I usually force him to get me a tree and I decorate it with the cat. Lol.

I need to figure out a Christmas morning breakfast...
Stay safe in the snow! I think we're getting some here but it shouldn't be too bad.

LINGERLONGER I was beginning to think YH wasn't human, but he does have flaws. I hope you can convince him to do something. I think with your shitty few months, you could use a little extra holiday cheer. I will complain about our warm weather. It has settled in that "perfect" temperature where the house is staying right where I have the A/C set. 1. Yes, I had to turn the A/C back on, WTF?!? 2. This means it doesn't run. The house is so humid it's uncomfortable. I'm so happy today is Friday. I have a friend planning to bring me lunch today since she's off. I need to get H to make a list for the grocery store, we need food but I really don't want to go with him. I don't have a death wish. The only downside to WFH that I've discovered so far is that I'm losing at least 90 minutes of solid podcast listening time and I'm falling behind.

Haha he does have a few flaws righthandman I still wouldn't give up any of those flaws because I have the perfect husband. jenn314 I hope you don't get hit too hard. We got a few inches last night, it's turning to sleet/freezing rain, and then snow all weekend and halfway into the week next week, with temperatures in the very low double digits to below freezing. It's really the temps I hate more. Lol. Today is going to be our warm day at a balmy 25 degrees. Lol.

Sorry your mock trial got canceled, ven. I hope you can find something else fun to do with Stormy. I hope your back feels better, LINGERLONGER. And I really hope YH gets it together re: breakfast. It's not too much to ask for some eggs, bacon, and/or cinnamon rolls to celebrate Christmas. I'm so behind on my podcasts too, righthandman. I've just deleted a bunch because they're dated by the time I get to them. Wooooo, Friday! I am so happy. I really don't have much planned for the day. H is covering for someone, so he's working until 10, and then we're going grocery shopping. Thank god for 24 hour grocery stores.

LINGERLONGER, I also hate this cold. I keep telling myself we were lucky and had warm weather late this year, but I can't wait for May/June LOL!

Stay safe in the snow, everyone. It's in the 40s here, so we're just getting rain and still more mud. It's supposed to switch to snow on Christmas Eve, so I'm hoping we'll have at least a little white Christmas. LINGERLONGER , I hope you can talk YH into doing something special for Christmas breakfast. Maybe he could pick up a coffee cake or something that wouldn't require extra effort. I hope your appointment goes well and you can have a good time tonight. ven , I'm sorry the trial was cancelled, but glad you'll be safe. H and I are going into town later. He needs to pick up his paycheck, and since we both have a day off, we're going to get lunch. I also need to go to the gym today. We also need to get groceries at some point, and put away laundry. Days off are so fun when you're an adult

ven sorry your mock trial got cancelled. LINGERLONGER I’m sorry your back is hurting and I hope you feel better soon. Never thought I would say this about your husband but boo mr. Lingerlonger. I get not liking the holidays but I feel like it is something you suck up and celebrate if your loved ones feel like it is important. I mean it is only one day a year

Ughhh, I emailed Pico's vet to update her on his eye (the infection that just won't quit), and she's out until the 26th. His eye isn't getting worse, and he's eating and behaving normally, but I was hoping to get her thoughts on it. Blah. I think we're going to end up having to take him to an ophthalmologist, which the vet mentioned was a possibility. We'll just continue with his antibiotic and antiviral eye drops until I hear back from her.
And here I was thinking 2018 might be the year we save some money lol.

Idk know I’m awake (well that’s a lie N woke me up). I have the day off and not much to do. I have to pick up a couple of last minute gifts. Thankfully I only need gift cards. I’ve already gotten all the stuff that needs wrapped. Then N and I are going to have lunch with mom. After that I think I’m going to come home and cuddle with N while i watch Bojack Horseman.

LINGERLONGER booo to your Grinch H lol I hope your soreness is better today. ven All of that sounds so delicious..yum. Good luck with the mock trial eba1012 Is there another vet at the practice? Poor little guy I'm on my way to see H. I had to get up earlier than normal so I am tired right now. We're going to see TLJ when I get in, so I'm excited for that too.

There is, and I may call the office to see if I can get him in today or tomorrow. But if not, Tuesday is the earliest we could get him in anyway. Both vets we've seen for this eye issue have basically said that as long as his appetite and behavior are unchanged, it's not emergent. His immune system just needs time to catch up, since he's only 8 months old. He doesn't seem to be bothered by it at all. He doesn't even paw at it. I'm so jealous that you're seeing TLJ. We aren't going for another week--wahhhhhhh.

Hello beautiful ladies Thank you for allowing me to come back. I was in a rough place over the summer, and, as I mentioned to eba1012 offline, I was feeling like a drain on the board, and needed to step away. Things are moderately better these days, but work has been pretty rough, and I’ve missed this community greatly. A few updates: - Pippa is doing great. She goes to camp 1-2x a week, and I just enrolled her in a Canine Good Citizen class. We did an intro to nosework class, and she loved it! I want to work on some foundational stuff with her first (she’s been a pushy jerk lately), which is why we are going to do CGC to start, and then I will get her into nosework classes so we can be cool like ven- Work has been kicking my ass. I think I’m BEC to my boss, and it’s been really tense the last few weeks. I’m taking off all of next week, and I am very much looking forward to getting away - I registered for a half marathon on a whim, and started training this week. It’s tough to balance the 4 workouts per week with the long hours I’ve been working, but I’m excited to have something to focus on that is solely for me I’ve lurked off and on here since I left in July, but I’m not fully up to date on everything happening in everyone’s lives here. I’ll try to catch up when I’m lounging around this weekend/next week
