Happy Day All!
I will NEVER again have a black iron pan rack/lights above my sink! I get small pans off it all the time, it is convenient, and it saves room in the cupboard, but it is an absolute *&^^ to clean! I don't like to clean anyway, and trying to do that yesterday put me off even more! Maybe I just shouldn't have looked at it beyond grabbing the pan. I got half of it done, but shoulder was killing me having to reach up and wiggle around, even if standing on the counter. Will have to do the rest today. Sheesh!
Now I got that off my chest I have another gripe! Oblivious people! Went to the grocery store, the post office and the tax office yesterday. Could not believe the number of folks wandering down the aisles in the grocery, totally unaware there was anyone else around. One actually ran into another lady, who was just stopped still in the middle of the aisle. Neither one had a clue the other was there. Then there's the people in their car stopped at a red light, that changes to green, and they just sit there on their phones or whatever. I'm not a horn honker, but the guy in front of me sure was! I think he scared the dickens out of the front driver as she just took off! Okay, I'm done being negative for today.
BettyJ - was thinking this morning how very glad I am both you and DD had negative tests. Whew! Sounds good you'll be with DS for DDIL's surgery. Ozzie will be okay and, as someone said, your reunion will be amazing!
Lin - love all your lights. I've been thinking about whether or not to put up our lights on the porch. We've been here the last three years, so have decorated more than used to. This year, though, we'll be back to leaving right after Christmas - usually the 26th, so not sure I want to have to mess with decorations. We'll see.
Aside from the pot rack, I don't have much planned for today except laundry. Am reading a book that is kind of gruesome in parts, but good enough so far to continue and find out what happens. I'm not good with quitting after starting a book, but we'll see with this one.
DH just got up, so breakfast is required - and my stomach is making noises that sound like demands! Hope you all have a good day - stay well! Cheers!

Good morning.
Lin, the lights on your porch look great. I have been thinking about putting some lights outside but haven't done it yet. Have to go buy them first. Sure won't be today. The stores are crazy with people getting ready for Thanksgiving and getting started with Christmas shopping.
DD went back to work on Thursday and she's feeling pretty good. Still gets tired really fast. Don't know if she got her taste/smell back yet. Today is their 28th anniversary. The weather was beautiful the day they were married. Didn't even have to wear a jacket which is unusual for November. They got married in our church and the reception was in the church hall. Funny thing happened. The caterers weren't there setting up after the ceremony which kind of threw me into a panic. There were about 200 people who were ready to eat and no food. Turned out their truck was too tall to fit under the church canopy and it got stuck. Took a few groomsmen to go stand on the back bumper of the truck so they could get the food unloaded and ready to serve. We laughed about it later but sure was not funny at the time.
Woke up this morning with a very sore foot. Feeling a bit better now and Ozzie did get a short walk.
Penny, you're not the only one who gets upset with other shoppers blocking the aisles. Think what irritates me the most is the visitors. Totally ignored people trying to get through the aisle. I got honked at the other day when the light turned green. Try to watch carefully but this time there were 2 cars ahead of me so not much I could do. The guy was sitting behind me waving his hands and using his middle finger. Everyone in such a hurry.
I'm doing laundry today but probably not much else. Had one of those nights that I had to get up about every 2 hours to go to the BR. Only happens occasionally but sure is frustrating when it does.
Shragae, How's the knee feeling this morning? Take care
Have a good day.

Morning All!
I had to laugh at your description of oblivious people Penny, because unfortunately I was one of them yesterday. When you enter my favorite veggie store there is a narrow aisle and display bins on either side. In that space they place some of their sale items which forever causes log jams and backups. Well yesterday they had NY Honeycrisp apples for $.99/lb and they looked really good. When I started to pick my share there wasn’t anyone around, but when I finally had made my selection and turned around there were 5 people behind me and one of the workers standing with a hand truck full of more produce. They were all standing there patiently waiting for me to finish…. Embarrassing moments, for sure! The guy with the hand truck is one I see every week and he was laughing. I apologized and moved out of there fast. It was particularly crowded yesterday – I guess because of the holiday, so there was a lot of dodging and weaving going on…… Sorry about the wrought iron pan holder Penny. My mom used to have glass shelves over the sink in the kitchen where she tried to grow plants, herbs and things. While the idea may have been decorative, the reality only provided glass shelves smudged with grease from the stove and grime rising from the steam in the sink. It was one of the first things I removed after she died. Hated cleaning those things!
Lin congratulations on your loss. I know those pounds were hard won! It always feels good when you can put on something smaller, showing the results of your labors, and it is just that – a chore – a job, a process…… I absolutely love the lights around your house. You are definitely more proactive than I in that category. It really looks beautiful!
Am up a bit earlier than normal this morning. It’s a bit colder than I’d like, but I guess that’s what winter is all about. Don’t know what the day will bring, but best get started.
Wishing everyone a happy day and peaceful weekend.

Good morning everyone
Today dog sitting dd#1 dog from 2:30-8. Will be nice to have big Labrador cuddles.
Getting ready to have Thanksgiving at our house. Need a couple of extra cleaning projects. Today I plan on cleaning front porch and front porch bench. Well needed.
We might have 2 more for thanksgiving. Thank goodness the dinner from Marie Calendar’s serves 8. So no need to adjust the order.
I feel good. My voice is coming back. It was very hoarse after the vaccine. Must have had some swelling near vocal cords.
I am not sure if I will get another Covid booster. This time was really bad with side effects. Hopefully we won’t need another one in the future.
Penny- those pot racks are so pretty. We do not have one and now after you talking about cleaning it glad I never got one.

Good afternoon Penny & ATF,
Sunny and 36 this morning. Boy was it cold! Warming up a bit now.
Went to WW workshop and got rid of 3# this week. I really thought if I lost weight it would be a point only. It seemed like I was earning points every time I ate. I'm still not comfortable with this program but the loss was great. Sometimes I had 8 points left at the end of the day and I thought I had to eat them in order to lose weight. Still learning this program.
Yesterday, Frankie passed out in mass. It was a special mass and all 200 children and parish members were in the building. Lucky for him he was sitting next to his teacher and he mentioned to her didn't feel good. She immediately got hold of his mom and she took him to the back of the church and he passed out in mom's arms. He had a jacket on and a long sleeve shirt and complained he was hot when he came to. DD got an appointment right away with his pediatrician and he seemed to be ok. The doctor ordered blood work; she went today but the lab stopped working at 11:00am and would not take anymore people. So he will have to go back Monday.
Church tonight, nothing else going on here.
Have a great day!

Emily- so scary for him to faint. Glad he us getting blood work done.
Well….a new booster side effect. I have a mildly itchy rash near injection area. Googled it. It’s called Covid arm. Said it’s not serious and should go away in about a week. Glad I have a doctor appointment on Tuesday and he can look at it. This never seems to end.

Thanks! I a. An absolute child about colored lights!
scary, Emily. Hope he is ok. Dehydrated?
Spouse tapped the horn lightly after three minutes behind an oblivious driver blocking the bank exit and got the finger. Here we are wary of road rage and so many armed people so we did not pass him. He turned off to right but used it as a way to get behind us and follow us, but we squeaked through a red light and turned in a area not our neighborhood and snaked around and got hime and into the garage. Creepy.

Today we are dog sitting our granddaughter's toy fox terrier. He is pretty good and really like grandpa.
There are so many people who are on their phones at the stop light and I really hate to honk at them because I don't like that happening to me, but sometimes it is tempting.
Emily hope your little guy is okay.
Last night was one of THOSE. Thus if I do something today have to be careful I do something that takes a little more thought.
Helen
