It's been an age since I posted anything, mostly because it's been a kind of sucky month so far...
- Hubby and I were sick on our cruise, felt better by the time we got home, then caught some sort of respiratory virus lite edition which lasted about a week
- Some friends came to visit; both caught the flu and were sick for about two weeks
- People I work with: one was just convicted of killing his wife, one just got arrested for a long list of horrific crimes against children, and one young mother was just got a terminal illness diagnosis :( :( :(
- Our country is careening towards tyranny (I certainly didn't have invade Venezuela, Greenland, and Canada on my bingo card this year!)
- And prices are out of control (we took our friends out to dinner and the wife ordered a steak with a lobster tail as an add on. It was listed at market rate but since when is market rate $48 for a three ounce lobster tail??? Fortunately the entire bill was free with hubby's poker comps but $50 for parking at the casino (free for hubby), $400+ for a basic dinner for four people, $10 for a Starbucks drink, and minimum play on the blackjack table was $50...no wonder people are avoiding Vegas like the plague!
On a happy note...
- One friend was worried a biopsy she had done would be cancerous and it wasn't so that was good news
- Another friend gave me a bulb in a wax ball (above) which said not to water it, just leave it in a warm, non-sunny spot and two months later these pretty flowers bloomed
- Our weather has been amazing good all winter. If you are in the path of the winter storm set to hit the US this weekend, I hope you are warm and safe in your home!
