Time to start a new thread.

Afternoon.
Back from the Milk Run. It's a good thing Skywise isn't working today. The backup on 37/69 due to construction was miles long and took close to 30 minutes to get through. *sigh*

The less said about yesterday, the better.

Four vehicles from the local fire department just flew by -- lights and sirens going full blast.
Someone north of us has a BIG problem....

Spirit reminded me while we were watching Stargirl that I hadn't baked my birthday cake.


It's in the oven now. I haven't had any dinner and probably won't.

Cake is cooled enough to put away so I'm heading out.

Everyone sleep well, be safe and stay calm.

Afternoon.
Late checking in, I know.
Moonie was on her way to the mailbox when she saw a rainbow DIRECTLY OVER THE HOUSE.
I'm hoping that it's a sign.

We've been back from dinner for a while. We went to our usual "celebration" place and I stuffed myself with steak. Then came home and had some of the cake I made last night: chocolate cake with chocolate icing -- death by chocolate, indeed! Now I'm going to take my supplements and after dinner pill with a glass of milk, then fast for the rest of the night. As full as I still feel, "fasting" won't be a problem!!

Morning.
Happy Veterans Day!
Slept in this morning, my first day of being 70.
Just had a piece of cake for breakfast so I can take my pill.

Working on my cookbook. I'm going to start printing it out soon and I'd like to have it reasonably organized before I start.

Smiley Smiley I just pulled two cast iron dutch ovens out of storage. Good thing I did! Somehow the boxes got wet and the ovens rusted! Smiley Not badly but enough!
I've ordered a Lodge Rust Eraser that will be here Sunday. In the meantime, I have to find a place to store my ovens where water -- or whatever got on those boxes -- can't get at them.
A large, waterproof storage box maybe....

LP was snoozing in the chair next to me. Now he's over on the front window feeding station, eating. 
Dinner is over and I'm heading for bed.

Everyone sleep well, be safe and stay calm.

Morning.
First significant snow of the season.
LP just got up from his doze, ate and is back behind the computer.
No one feline wants to go outside.
Smart kitties.

Back from Saturday errands.
Had Chick-fil-A instead of Arby's at Spirit's suggestion.
Snow has stopped and it's slightly above freezing so the roads are clear and damp.

Evening.
We had breakfast in town, went to see Wakanda Forever then went to Arby's in town to eat again.
Now back. Skywise is going to turn the pump on again. Whether it starts or not, we're going to have someone look at it.
Now to get caught up since there's nothing I can do about the "water situation".

Skywise has been using the computer trying to get a handle on what is wrong with the pump, as least enough to give whoever he calls in the morning an idea of what the problem might be. At least he has this next week off so I won't have to deal with this by myself. I've found that, on the whole, for situations like this, Skywise is taken more seriously than I am. We're coping and, since the day has been exhausting mentally if not exactly physically, we're calling it a night.

Everyone sleep well, be safe and stay calm.

Morning.
Back from breakfast in town.
The plumber should be here around 1 pm. He'll make a temporary repair with an "almost perfect" control unit. When he gets the "perfect" part in, he'll come out and put it in.

LP is purring in my lap...

We have water.
It wasn't the pump.
It was the breaker.
