Monday Madness…

prevails here this Monday morning.  The washing machine in our area has totally bit the dust and a new one ordered.  It has been over a week now and nothing yet.  So my daughter was kind enough to allow me to take my laundry over to her house this morning.  That took care of the morning.  I do hate lugging laundry around as it is a big pain in the wazoo.

*****

Idiom

up the wazoo, to an extreme degree or in great abundance:  She's got problems up the wazoo.

I am still reeling over my auto repair but I am not in a hurry to buy a different car.  I hate to think of a new car having to sit out with the bird poopiedoop and the dust blowing on it.  So I will hold off on that as long as necessary. No one is to lay a finger on the window controls.

It is a lovely clear cool day to get into the mid 70s.  I am enjoying every minute of it and I hope you all are too.

Stay safe and be happy!!

Day Twenty One…

and it is still drizzling, not quite a rain but close.  It is 37 degrees.  I set my alarm for 6 AM and I have changed the bedding, had breakfast, and on my first load of laundry.  I have lots to do before Saturday.

Tomorrow afternoon is another doctor appointment.  Then Friday I will cook the ham and the turkey.  Somewhere in between there is cleaning the dreaded bathroom and getting out the vacuum and dusting the furniture.  Since I made such a mess cookie making a few days ago I don’t need to worry too much about the kitchen cleaning as that is already done.

Menu for Christmas Eve:

• Ham
• Turkey
• Stuffing
• Mashed potatoes
• Gravy
• Green bean casserole (I love this stuff)
• Corn casserole (I love this stuff)
• Cranberry sauce
• Pecan pie

Enough for us all to have leftovers.  An open invitation for any of you that have no place to eat Christmas dinner.   That includes you RB.

I just went to check my laundry and the drizzle has turned into pouring down rain.

A long time friend of my WV sis and her husband passed away yesterday.  He was a very nice guy.  Jim and I met him on several occasions when we were visiting Rae and Hugh.  We even played a few games of poker with him.  If I remember correctly he was very lucky at cards. http://www.herald-dispatch.com/x313670888/Long-time-reporter-Hardin-dies   So long Jack, you will be missed.  Heaven has just added another angel.

I have to close this off and get busy.  I hope you all have a pleasant day.  Stay safe and be happy!!
