Beets and naked rowers

Hey Sassy, how you doing? Mom feeling better? How about you? Hope all is good!

10:11am
Hiya kid!  Looked like lots of fun in the snow!  It’s headed our way.  Good thing you know how to handle that!  I’m hanging in.  Still coughing a bit but ignoring it!  My office is in chaos… camped out with a conference room table for now, may move to an office share later in the week.  Mom is home but feeling crappy.  Takes time they say.  Ugh.

10:21am

I talked to a young fella online last night. A snowboarder.  Whee.  All he really wanted to know was my cup size.  Duh.  Back to my toys!

3:25pm Phil
Glad to hear Mom is home, not so glad to hear she is not feeling well. It does take time especially as we get older.  

Snowing here, it stopped but now it’s getting colder and it’s all freezing.  A snow boarder eh?  Your cup size?  What a dork. Better off with toys.  

As I passed my year of probationary service, I can now look to other jobs.  Not sure what will pop up.  May look for something closer to home.  Will see.  I want to go back to working with front line military types.

4:51pm
Probably would be good to get out of D.C.

5:10pm Phil
I like the travel but I’d love to be at the beach

Hey Sassy girl

Had a colorful dinner.  Looks good but was rather blah and expensive except for the deviled eggs.

Beet salad and deviled eggs at The Independent

Wanna dance?

Hell Yeah

Fun photos of athletes to raise money for a good cause. Activists with the best bums.

Sneezy pops up

How are you my friend?
Hope you had a great holiday break.
Still going strong in NH?

So Sneezy is checking in.  I don’t get it.  Last time I saw him he sneezed the entire time because he’s allergic to cats and therefore me!  Did he forget that?  Maybe he is on some new anti-allergy meds?  He doesn’t say.  I’ll tell him I am not seeing anyone… we’ll see what he wants.

Greg!  How are you dear man?  Did you have a good holiday?  
I had a lovely Christmas, then got sick and was stuck inside with a cough for 7 days!  Argh! 
You found a nice lady to play with?  I’m not seeing anyone at present – been mired in moving my mom to an assisted living place and selling her condo and taking over her finances.  The NH guy got divorced and took off with a single lady in October, as you’d expect.  I’ve been hanging out on AM but not being enticed by anyone so far. 
Hope the new year brings great adventures for both of us!

So 20th Century

January 4, 2015 Sunday

I slept late… relishing my last morning without an alarm clock.  It was rainy but warm 50s!  
I tried to get motivated to do more around here but… eh.  I went to chat and there was a marvelous woman there!  We solved the problems of the universe.  Heh.  
I watched “Downton Abbey” on the TV!  It’s the only show that will make me turn on that box.  Heh.  It was a glorious start to Season 5.  I hate waiting a week to see another one! Seems so 20th Century! 
It’s tough to hold off the “going back to work blues” after 12 days, especially because I didn’t get a real vacation due to being sick, and I have to face the chaos of office renovations.  Ah well…

Beef stew

January 3, 2015 Saturday

I got things done at home today – laundry, writing thank you notes, going through the Christmas cards to follow up or put away, going through a box of stuff from Mom’s.


I desperately wanted to get out, go to dinner, but it starting snowing about 5 pm and was supposed to
make a nasty switch through sleet to rain, so I opted to stay in.  It seemed mean to make someone deliver dinner, so I cooked.  Believe it or not!  I made beef stew over egg noodles.  I started with a big can of Dinty Moore, then added canned corn, mushrooms and garlic, with some frozen onions, and covered it in shake cheese.  Yum.  The perfect comfort food for a snowy evening. 
I went to chat and helped a fella write a first message to a nice AM lady.  Fingers crossed for him!
My old flame #2 from high school pinged me.  He pops in now and then when he is having a bad day.  He’s had bronchitis for a week, while driving back and forth from the midwest to upstate NY to visit family.  He’s another guy whose wife locked him out years ago, right after their youngest child was conceived, so he sleeps on the couch “because he snores” she says.  I will admit to coaching him on how to hit on the nice lady.  Heh.  (Bad Sassy) They got to second base right before Christmas!  Yay!

Mom got out of the hospital! She’s home!! So glad I was off work and feeling better so I could take her.  She was so happy.  She sat in her chair and closed her eyes and smiled so big.

I also signed her P&S today (after three extensions for no particular reason)!  So we’re scheduled to close January 30.  So ready for that chapter to be closed!


9:39pm

Nothing like a tuna sub to finish off the year.  The packaging from my local pizza place… reminds me of a song.  : )

How is everyone doing?











6:46pm


 

They decided to keep Mom a second night, running tests. I talked to her on the phone – She sounds awful but is cheerful. Both sisters have been there today.






I am slightly better, have more brain, didn’t nap, actually cleaned out 4 of my desk drawers today, and got rid of 3 of the five piles on top of it. Still coughing but not as much. 






Hope you had a good day. You working or playing?











8:06pm


 Philip
Still working. Got a big meeting tomorrow




. Glad to hear you are a bit better, praying for Mom

10:28pm


 

I learned a new phrase today.  Have you heard of Moose Knuckles?











10:30pm


 Philip
Nope!











10:34pm


 

It’s the male equivalent of a camel toe, with one ball on one side of hiked up pants and one ball on the other, so you can see them outlined.  Google images has a bunch of photos…
