phrase of the day

"Rage tweeting"  You will never guess who that refers to.  That's all I have to say about that today. Take it for what it's worth.  Not sharing my brain space with 'em.  I'm watching the water guys check my meter knowing that I will, again, be over minimum.  That's okay.  It takes water and electricity to clean up a mess and we are doing just that.  And actually enjoying it!  LP is a real organizer/cleaner and I am not.  She's more like my mother.  But we do share a really wicked sense of humor.  That's pretty cool.

I went to the funeral "parlor" today to visit with the family of my friend and client.  I also got to visit with my friend Kay which is always a treat.  Stella had the day off so I missed her but Janie was there along with a lot of other folks who knew the family and her.  I had not met one whole set of grandchildren and their spouses and kids so I went to the coffee lounge to get acquainted.  I had seen pictures of all of them but needed proper introduction.  I just needed to put names with faces for all these people I learned about through her.  That gave me some closure.

Old Marvin 2.0 is hanging closer to our house since the food is here.  And a bit of attention.  Our goal is to get him into rescue and get him vetted.    The collar chain that he had on is gone so somebody had to have cut it off.  He shows up for meals and hangs around on the porch but "no house" for this one.  If dogs have been traumatized they often don't even know what it's like to be in a house.  Like Roellen!  I am so thankful that she came from trying to be a house dog to a forever home in the country.  She's a "shop dog."

I am venturing out into the job market next week and have to take a serious look at what to wear.  I am a slob by nature preferring comfort to style.  There has to be a perfect mix of that.  Most of my clothes have been given to me by friends and that's a sweet deal.  Something doesn't fit?  Give to Poopie.  What I really need is comfy shoes.  I have two old pair of Clark's for the FH but not much else.  Most of the worn out Brooks' went into last week's garbage.  We are downsizing like a mofo.  

One of my little Christmas quirks is saving cards from one year to the next.  It doesn't take up much room and the next year it reminds me that there is always somebody out there who has the energy to spread good cheer.  My holidays have been merry because I focused more on the spirit of the season and less on the hoorah.  It has been a real blessing from the baby Jesus.  

I pray that you are well and looking forward to next year.  We shall see what happens when we keep the faith ^j^
