Q: If you have 13 apples in one hand and 10 oranges in the other, what do you have?
 A: Big hands.

WE GOT RAIN.  WE NEED IT.  WARMER TODAY BUT NOT TOO WARM. 

TRACY.......HEY GIRL, GOOD TO SEE YOU.  GLAD YOU ARE DOING OKAY AND TAKING IT EASY.  WISHING YOU ALL THE BEST THRU THE REST OF THE YEAR.  HUGS AND MORE HUGS.

NOTHING EXCITING FOR ME TODAY.  WE HAD COFFEE TIME BUT I DON'T REALLY DO THAT.  ITS TOO HARD TO HEAR WHAT EVERYONE IS SAYING AND I HATE SITTING LIKE A LUMP IN A CORNER.  SO I PASSED. 
SALLY MY LIBRARIAN BRINGS ME ANOTHER BOOD BOOK TODAY.  I HAVE 2 SHOPPING BAGS OF BOOKS FOR HER TO SELL AT THE BOOK SALE.  MY DAUGHTER READ AND BROUGHT BACK MANY OF THE ONES I SENT TO HER OVER THE MONTHS. 
I AM FINISHING MY LEFTOVERS TODAY AND WILL MAKE A POT OF MASHED TATERS TO HAVE ON HAND FOR SIDE DISHES THIS WEEK.
I AM TRYING TO THINK OF SOMETHING TO DO BESIDES MY USUAL......READING, SOLITAIRE, CROSSWORDS, WATCHING TV AND MY JIGSAW.  I'M REALLY GETTING TIRED OF SAME OLD, SAME OLD STUFF.  CAN ANYONE SAY "RUT?"  
I WANT TO SEW.  WILL THINK OF DOING SOMETHING BY HAND.  SITTING AT THE SEWING MACHINE AGRAVATES MY BACK TOO MUCH LATELY.  THERE'S GOT TO BE A PROJECT I CAN WORK ON.  MAYBE HAND-QUILTING SOME BLOCKS.  I STILL HAVE SEVERAL VICTORIAN LADY BLOCKS WHICH I CAN LAYER AND THEN MAYBE HAND QUILT. I COULD USE THOSE AS DOOR HANGINGS ON MY BATHROOM DOOR SINCE THEY ALL SIGNIFY LADIES ROOM.   SOUNDS LIKE A PLAN DOESN'T IT.  WILL CHECK IT OUT.

WISHING YOU ALL A GOOD DAY.  HUGS, QB S

Busy morning! Last night as I was drifting off to sleep, I decided I’d make pancakes today, changed to blueberry pancakes, then to blueberry muffins. That’s how my mind works. So I made a dozen blueberry muffins, sent 4 over to neighbor Dave, who sent me back some tomatoes,
Read my morning computer newsletters, Reuters and AP. Yay, the Boeing strike is settled, Manda doesn’t have to worry about layoffs and hope soon they we reoffer Ben the job offer! 
Tidied a little in the sewing room. Wound 20 bobbins, since I was on the last one filled. Pulled out a stack of partly done burp cloths, they’ll be the next thing I work on. 
Meanwhile, Ralph went to Lowe’s and then worked outside. We both voted by mail, and got our stickers.

I had a friend that I was the ghoster, because I don’t like confrontation. I worked with her over 30 years ago, and in the last ten years the relationship got rocky because she always wanted to be right. Told me to stop reading fiction and start reading nursing research journals, and told me to put down the crafts and travel to Europe. So I just stopped responding to her on facebook and didn’t take her phone calls. Took a while for her to get it. 

Tracy, it is good to hear from you. My prayers are with you. Hugs!

I got my bone scan and CT scan results today. It's so interesting what they pick up. Overall, I'm in pretty good shape for my age. No cancer has spread to my bones...great news!

My preop appointment is tomorrow and I still have not decided on whether to do the mastectomy or the "reincision lumpectomy" to get a clear margin. Sometimes they don't get a clear margin in the second surgery. Decisions, decisions...and this is a big one! I've been praying for clarity to make this decision. 

I am just "not into" this election today...have more important health issues to think about. 

Well, the results are in…like it or not.   You know where I stand.

Today is haircut, the gym, lunch with a friend, quick stop at Food Lion and then home before the Septic company gets there.  Whew! 
   DH isn’t feeling well, so that puts me in charge…🤪

Good Morning to everyone!!  It is a beautiful day outside, very slight breeze.  I'm not feeling very bright this morning.   Have a new shirt on, very pretty!  Lavender with purple flowers and green and white leaves.

I really don't have anything else to say this morning, just feeling stupid!!  Have a wonderful day, everyone! BJ.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         

Were heading to W-M in a bit for Howard's med and a few groceries.  Both of us were up later last night, he later than me so we're dragging today. Have our small group on Friday and I need to make a salad.  It will be Holly's cole slaw.  I need to do something easy and quick.
Then, in two weeks, it will be our turn to have it. 

QB, hope you win big tonight or...even a little.  As you say, even a small payoff is something.
Have you found any hand sewing project that appeals, yet?  Lots of people on Instagram do small, collages with scraps, buttons, lace  that fill that need, for them.   They appeal to me, but in the end, I don't seem to be able to decided what to put together.  And then there's the issue of it being a waste of time because what is it and what do you do with it?  Not that I'm  always  practical, hardly! --still I'd like to feel I've got something worthwhile, even if only as eye candy.    Am I making any sense?  I do enjoy the feeling of satisfaction with picking up a needle and doing something!  
I just saw a cheeky black squirrel on the deck, darting and nosing around.  They are so pert and cute.  Am missing the wild birds that have left.  But, it's past time for the quiet, cooler time of year...we've had such a long, drawn out, end of summer/fall.

Off to get ready to leave.  Have a good afternoon. 
Indy

Good afternoon all.

Made a new quick recipe in the crockpot today; pizza lasagna.  It is made with frozen ravioli, hamburger, pepperoni, lots of cheese and sauce.  I used a jarred marinara sauce (one made locally called Mids as it is our favorite).  It sure smells good so hope it tastes ok.  Dean does not really care for lasagna but the kids do and they will be here for supper.  Gabriel has a meeting with his pastor to discuss being baptised.  Dean has him there now and Aaron will pick up the kids after work.

Devonne sending prayers to you.  I hope you come to a decision that brings you some comfort.

Devonne- 🙏🏻 for you

Devonne, I'm relieved for you an with you that you've made an informed decision. I'm praying for the very best for you!  🙏🏻

I was up late as well, and for the same reason. 

Cheryl, I haven't had lasagna in a very long time.  Sounds yummy! 😋

How wonderful your grandson is discussing being baptized. 🙏🏻

Indy, I haven't picked up a needle in so long!  I love embroidery and cross stitch, and I'm hoping that after Christmas, I'll have some time to attempt it.  I'm hoping my eyes/vision allows it! 🙏🏻🙂

Linda, I've managed a bit of extra housework today, too.

QB, I love today's funny!
😄

I gotta run. I need to write two more reviews today, so I better scoot!

CAROL lovely to see you, have a wonderful trip, so glad you remembered the underwear, one time The Mr forgot to pack PJs lucky we found a store open when we realised he double checks everything now LOL

DEVONNE I am glad you made the decision  you want for you, it was a tough one, and only you know what is best, I  would say I would probably have made the same decision, but I would never know till I was actually facing your surgery ((((hugs))))

SANDRA that was  a funny one!! I loved the last few too!! Always good to read your funnies, hope the good luck fairy visits you tonight, and you win, even a little (((hugs)))

STRINGS how is your Mr, is he coping any better, and more importantly how are YOU coping!

BJ your lavender top sounds so nice, I do love that colour, soft and pretty - give my love to Tracy (((hugs)))

HOLLY if you read, THANK YOU for letting us know. 

DIANE lovely to have you popping inn, we miss you - hope you can visit a little more as time goes on, know you are  very busy with reviews and family (((hugs)))

JANET totally agree, too many people wanting to take your money from you, there  are so many scammers. I had an email a month or so ago, don't usually check the spam box, and this went to the iCloud account. Apparently I was watching and surfing the internet for questionable content, and the very polite person requested thousands of dollars (in an equivalent to bitcoin ) or they would send it all to my friends, within 48 hours of me opening the email, forgot about it for a while till I told someone, and they said, well it's more than 48 hours since you opened it, my friend said while it was funny, it was also sad that a lot of people would fall for it. The emailer was very polite which made it funnier to me. And kindly told me he would delete everything after payment and to please be careful while using the internet

INDY hope you enjoy your outing, I loath shopping for bras, I have a brand that fits me, and now try to get it online, or occasionally at one of the department stores if they have a big sale, which reminds me I should order a couple more, had these a while now. AND a drawer full of not great ones for "just in case" LOL 

CHERYL good for Gabriel, hope that his baptism goes well, is it a church where you get baptised when a teenager, I am so used to the catholic one were they get baptised at birth 

Noting much happening here either like CHERYL  -- went to training this morning, it was brutal, not the exercises, the heat, it was up to high 80s when we started YIKES. we opted for finishing with some gentler exercises, I was still soaking, and still wanting to drink more  now, so I will load up my bottle again.

I just ducked over to the mall, forgot to get my gingerbread house to decorate for Christmas, we'll probably forget again, and just eat the house and decorations separately LOL

I also did a detour and picked up a nice gluten free carrot and orange cake for sewing tomorrow, in between answering my SIS's messages, seems they have now found spots on my brothers liver. He will have a port inserted next week, and they will flood his body with chemo (her words) I am still really really angry with him, he hasn't returned my calls, we just get to hear her messages. He is uncomfortable sitting for too long, the tumor in the bowel is quite large, so my sis and I are both thinking that unless the chemo has a huge reduction in his cancer he won't survive this, it's just awful that he could ignore the symptoms for so long. We have good health services he could access, there is no excuse.

I didn't have to stay up late last night for the election results, for once the time lag worked in our favour, the results were mosttly in by 9.30 - usually anything happening in the northern hemisphere we have to watch on replay LOL
