What's Happenin'? XLVI: Black/Infinity Post!
Jan 16th, 2018 at 8:40pm
 
And here is our new "What's Happenin'?" thread. Since  "The Black Panther" and "Avengers 4: Infinity War" will both be out soon, we have a "combo" title for this thread. Frankly, I couldn't decide!

It is currently 6 degrees.
They are saying that there is the possibility of thunderstorms late in the weekend. Smiley

Skywise is on his way home and -- since my knees are aching all the way to my ankles -- I'm heading out.

Everyone sleep well and be safe.Smiley Smiley

Greetings!
Skywise is on the way to work and I'm getting organized -- or as organized as I ever get!  Smiley

It's 13 degrees -- a veritable heat wave!

I found a pantry storage unit like the ones I've already bought -- but smaller -- that "might" be the right size for large cans of tomato sauce. I've ordered one and I'll see how it works when I get it. I was working on a design for one that I'd build but if someone has already done it, I'll buy it. I have enough things to build right now as it is!

Currently 9 degrees.

I have a headache. I've been looking for instructions on how to do a crochet stitch I've never heard of before today. All I can find are YouTubes which would probably be useful but take too many megabytes. I found a book but the cheapest one ships from England so my project is going to have to wait while I look for the book locally. *sigh*

Skywise called and he's on his way home. I've got a couple of things to do so I'm heading out.

Everyone sleep well and be safe. Smiley Smiley

Afternoon.
We went to the SocSec office to schedule an appointment for Skywise to start the process of getting him Medicare since he'll turn 65 in April.
Then we fought our way across an ice covered parking lot outside a Target, had lunch, shopped and fought our way through the damned parking lot to get to the van.
I was in agony the entire time.
My legs still hurt and so do my eyes (from the snow glare even with sunglasses) and sinuses (from the cold air).
It's gonna be a long day.

The glare is getting worse and I have a headache now so I'm going to get prone and move to the north side of the house where it is dark.
Be back later.

Back. I've been busy and got a few things done. I wanted a nice longish nap but the phone kept ringing.  Smiley Smiley Regardless, the painkiller I took worked and I can actually walk around now with minimal pain. I just wish I didn't have to take them.

We are buried in pizza. I make pizza on Thursdays and was about to shove ours into the oven when Skywise called to tell me he was on his way home.... with pizza. One of his co-workers decided he needed a pie. So.... we have lots of pizza!

I'm going to head out now so everyone sleep well and be safe. Smiley Smiley

Afternoon.
Since we got back from town, I've been working on learning a new crochet stitch. I "think" I'm getting the hang of it, a few more rows will tell the tale. I want to make sweaters -- V and crew neck -- and the patterns I have call for using this new stitch which I'd never heard of before this week. At this rate, I'll have the sweaters done in time for next winter. Oh well, I expect we'll need them then too.. Smiley

Unhappy. When I went to get prone, I looked up and noticed something I was pretty sure I hadn't seen before. Sure enough, it was a damp spot on our bedroom ceiling. I checked and it was damp and cold -- meaning that it's new, either a new leak in the roof or our current leak has found a new spot to drip.  Smiley Fortunately, it isn't dripping like the one in the laundry room.
Either way, we can't do anything about it until spring, probably late spring at the earliest. The last thing you want with a sudden storm rolling in is to have your roof in some stage of being torn off/put back on.....

Well, the government is shutting down thanks to the Democrats' love affair with illegals. The Postal Service won't shut down so Skywise will still be getting his paycheck but I'm wondering about the girls' disability. Guess I'd better plan for it not going through until I hear differently or it shows up in their accounts.

Skywise is on the way home.
Dinner -- hot dogs -- is ready but the mustard has disappeared.
I'm heading out.

Everyone sleep well and be safe. Smiley  Smiley

Afternoon.
The spot on the ceiling isn't any bigger and seems to be drying out. Skywise got up on the roof and thinks he knows what the problem is. It's supposed to rain tomorrow so we'll see if his theory holds up.
Now, it's time to get prone for a while and then get busy.
Later.

Just checked Facebook. I love AoS as well as the next fanatic but that is ALL that is on my newsfeed. Fortunately, I was able to find out that the girls will get their SSI next week government shutdown notwithstanding. That and the so-called "Women's March". *sigh* As an "old school" feminist, I find the antics of today's politically correct "feminists" disappointing if not downright offensive. There, I said it.  Smiley

I have hit the fatigue wall and there is a pile of folded laundry on the bed waiting for someone to put it away. Since we don't have House Elves, I'm elected. So out I go for the night.

Morning.
And the next day it rained. Fortunately, most of it is past us and it's well above freezing so aside from muddy slop, we've nothing weather-related to deal with. I slept in a bit this morning while Skywise was online so now I'm going to get caught up.

It's 51 degrees and the rain has stopped.
The wind, however, has started...
