What're You Doing Right Now?

[SomeChick]

Cleaning before family arrives.

[cindyt]

The family decided that we would buy Christmas just for the kids this year. So my gifts are bought--a gift card for each child and a copy of Farmer Boy by Laura Ingles Wilder for each family with children; Brittany has three boys, and Karen has just the one. So, I have money for my room decor and extra for clothes next month. Plus I want to buy four books. Three of the books are secondhand, about boat handling and such, that I'm going to put on my research shelf. I have two such books. Miami Hot and Cool is on that shelf now, and The Cocaine Wars is propping up a picture on my chest of drawers. Lol.

Relaxing. Busy day at work today and had a busy weekend, spent it with wifey-to-be. We had our engagement photo shoot yesterday, pictures on Facebook if we're friends. Slide show on TikTok if you follow me. I don't usually like pictures of myself but these? I love them so much. And I love her so much.

We spent our first Thanksgiving together this year, and it was also the most relaxing I've ever had. We had ham, turkey, mashed potatoes with gravy, stuffing, sweet potatoes, broccoli cheese casserole, Hawaiian rolls, pie. I was SO full. I throughly enjoyed my last year of not cooking. Next year I'll be cooking. And loving every minute of it.

[cindyt]

Y all kinda resemble each other.

I'm fixing to write.

Watching old Expedition Unknown episodes (my husband calls Josh Gates my TV boyfriend, I absolutely adore him. I actually dragged hubby to Josh Gates live a couple weeks ago &#128522, and being cozy on the couch.
It’s 18 degrees outside (7 with the windchills), and our old farmhouse tends to be chilly when it’s breezy. We got our wood burning furnace cleaned and fired it up today. We didn’t really use it last year for some reason, and I’d almost forgotten how fabulous it is. That wood heat just hits different than the propane!

[cindyt]

Just finished my writing session, made my AW report, and fixing to hit the hay.

[cindyt]

Gearing up to begin my second writing session.

[SassyMonkey719]

Spent the morning cleaning the chicken coop, so I’m laying on my heating pad for a minute mustering up the energy to get the dog a bath, make a shirt for me and a sweatshirt for my Momma for Christmas, and figure out supper.

[cindyt]

Gearing for my first writing session.

[RiaBrown]

Starting my Chrismas vacation! I'm off till Monday. I'm spending as much of it with my beloved as I possibly can. Weather permitting, going to see the kidlets and introduce them to their new sister and BIL (beloved's daughter and SIL). We've been trying to get everyone to meet for months.

[cindyt]

Have fun, Ria!


Gearing up for bed.

[RiaBrown]

Relaxing after my first day back at work after Christmas break, catching up on SVU.

Christmas was quiet, but nice. Spent it with wifey-to-be. Had the traditional ham, sweet potatoes, broccoli rice casserole, mashed potatoes, stuffing, pecan pie, and cookies. I managed half of that, with Diet Coke.

Wifey-to-be and I decided to get the motel room for New Year's instead. I got us VIP tickets to a drag show NYE party here in town where I live. It was a Christmas gift to both of us, she LOVES drag shows and I had never been until I moved here but I really like them, too.

We spoiled each other. I got her a gay (rainbow) blanket, Avengers coffee mug, and earbuds for her phone. She got me a BUNCH of little things that were from the heart and almost made me cry.

Like a personalized ornament for our first Christmas together. An "I love you" book. Pride bracelets. (That I'm unfortunately not allowed to wear at work.) She also got me a Baby Grogu goblet with hot chocolate and 2 boxes of Abuelita brand Mexican hot chocolate to refill it, and a small pan that will make Baby Grogu pancakes.

AND two 1lb bags of Twizzlers and two boxes of chocolate covered cherries. She thoroughly spoiled me ROTTEN. I hadn't had that since I was a kid, I'm still a little overwhelmed.

[cindyt]

Just finished my morning devotions, fixing to go back to bed for a bit it's about time for my grocery order to arrive.

[cindyt]

Gearing up to finish my writing session. Might play games afterward or hop in bed.

[pkstracy]

Waiting to log into my therapy appointment....

[cindyt]

Posted my AW report and fixing to go to take a breathing treatment and go to bed.

[RiaBrown]

Watching YouTube, talking to my love, playing games, and trying to figure out what sounds good for dinner. Realizing that since I had to Uber today due to no bus running because of holiday, I should've gotten my hair cut after work.

[cindyt]

Fixing to game, then go back to writing.

[cindyt]

Grumbling about Amazon.

[Mansfield67]

Listening to music.

[RiaBrown]

Home from work early. About to change, get comfy on the couch with a Diet Dr Pepper and a bag of Twizzlers and game.

[cindyt]

Just ate dinner. Fixing to do evening devotions, maybe game, then start my second writing session.

[cindyt]

Fixing to start today's first writing session on A Deadly Spill of Scarlet.

[pkstracy]

About to build an ark with all the rain we have been getting...right now modding and about to go read or game I don't know which, or go back to sleep, only got three hours last night.

[cindyt]

Just got up from a hard sleep to find Amazon had delivered my John D. MacDonald book. A Purple Place for Dying, a Travis McGee book.

[RiaBrown]

Spent my weekend doing next to nothing. I did write a post on my public blog about if trauma can turn one LGBTQ. That had been a worry of mine for a while. (It can't.) I also wrote a post on my DID blog last night about supporting abusers and how that's not okay, because what's left of my family of origin still supports the man who ruined me.

[pkstracy]

Having a meltdown right now as our roof did not get fixed at all, it's still leaking and now my window in my room is leaking i have buckets everywhere that I have to empty every ten to fifteen mins into another bucket and dump it outside, this rain is horrible, we never get this much rain in San Diego, I have all night and the next day until about two pm to deal with this mess, trust me I took video of the water running like crazy to send to my landlord and I am going to give him a reaming, I have a fan running aimed under my bed as my wood floor is wet due to the water just running when I empty the buckets, my bed is now damp, I can't handle this anymore, this isn't going to let up until Tuesday I think.

[SomeChick]

Watching SuperSize Me :-D

[cindyt]

Moding.

[cindyt]

Writing, drinking real coffee, and freezing my butt off, that's what I'm up to.

[RiaBrown]

Doing my best impression of a lump on the couch.

Get well soon.

I'm writing.

[pkstracy]

[cindyt]

Thank you, I cant wait to read it.

I can't wait to finish it so you can read it.

[SomeChick]

Screwing around here while listening to music.

[cindyt]

Awww. How sweet. Ella resembles the cat, Bruce Lee, that Nabo and I had once upon a time.

Thank you! She's her Mimi's girl. Always on my lap or under the blanket with me like that.

Right now, I'm letting cough medicine kick in so I'll hopefully have a voice tomorrow. Got cough/runny nose meds and 2 kinds of cough drops.

I was up half the night last night coughing my head off and sound like Gollum from Lord of the Rings today. ROFL! My boss handed me towels and I said, "My purrrecious!" Yeah he doesn't know what to do with me.

[cindyt]

Fixing to start writing. I'm getting a late start because I'm getting a late start, plus the internet was down which forced me to read the Bible and study book on my phone which took longer due to a smaller screen. It came back up around 8:30 and Imma going to work.

[pkstracy]

crying (read pet peeves if you want to know why)

[snowblindburd]

Procrastinating.

[cindyt]

Just finished my last writing session for the day and am fixing to haul off to microwave and pop some corn which I'll eat while reading Grace Livingston Hill's The Prodigal Girl.

[cindyt]

Writing while waiting for my direct deposit.

[RiaBrown]

Not sleeping. Had a nap today while trying to catch up on SVU....need to try. Got to try to go to work tomorrow. For those who haven't read the pet peeves thread, I have pneumonia.

[cindyt]

Trying to stay out of bed.

[RiaBrown]

I'm back on the couch. Tried to go to work. Showed GM papers from the hospital showing I have pneumonia and he asked if I still had it. I said well yeah, and he sent me home. He said it was better I came in and he sent me home because if I'd called out, I'd have had to go back to the hospital just for a note excusing me from work. He was saving me money, which I appreciated. His bosses see excessive call-outs by one person as suspicious, even though he knows I never call out unless I'm SICK.
