And today we learned that when the garage door spring breaks, it's a real bitch to get the garage door open. Ugh. Heavy.
Hokay, haven't posted in a bit. Things are okay. Back has really been hurting (went to the chiropractor today and she fixed me up again), sinuses full, head hurts, sooooo tired. But basically all is well. Game Night is this coming Saturday. Yay! Trying to figure out Holiday gifts for people. And if I really want to send out Holiday cards. What do you think...

I posted this elsewhere. I'm going to post it here too, but it's been a long time since the people that love me have left SG (except for you @iggy). Hell, here you don't even have friends any more, just people you "Follow".
Okay, this is not a rant. Honestly. It *is* a gripe of mine.
I miss talking to my friends. I really do....

I get it, dude.
Every time I move it feels like my head is about 1/2 inch behind the rest of my body. Makes for slight dizzy fun-ness. Sinus congestion for the win?
Oh, and still icing my back from wrenching it. Went to the chiropractor yesterday and that helped. Taking it easy to give the swelling time to settle down.
Woof.
Happy Thanksgiving to all those who celebrate this holiday. And those who do not, i hope you have a really great day. We initially only had 2 people coming, but now we are back up to our more usual 6, so 8 at the table today. Good thing we always make a ton.

So, @iggy, how did Thanksgiving with the dogs work?
iggy:
Thanksgiving with the dogs was great, @schiavona. Best Thanksgiving that I've had in years.
Day two of outside decorating begins. Lesson learned:
Not all LED lights are the same arctic blue color. Sometimes you can find ones that are a nice warm yellowish color. So, unstrung all the lights on the driveway this morning and wrapped them up, returning them, then buying the warm ones. So, a trip to Lowes is on my list this morning.
It's still nice...

It's been colder than...well, not sure what, but cold...recently, but suddenly today it's mid-70's, so that means it's time to decorate the outside for Christmas, before it gets disgusting again. Got up most of the driveway lights (need to buy some more) and the lights for the retaining wall. Need to create some lighted trees for the yard area, making a forest. The front porch,...

@iggy Merlin send his grumpy love back.
Head hurts, taking meds and sleeping it off.
Erg. Battery is for shit in my iPhone 5. Must go see the Suuuuuuuper Geniuses at the Apple store today. Blech. let me guess what they will do:
They will analyze the battery and see that I charge it 3 times a day and determine that this is normal for an 8 month old phone. Then they'll decide it needs to be wiped down to...

Ugh. I found when I uninstalled the FB app my battery life improved greatly. Of course, I have a droid, so I don't know if that makes a difference. Also, keeping the ringer on silent and the vibrating alert off also keeps the battery pretty charged most of the time.
schiavona:
Yeah, did those things already too. They replaced the battery and now we'll see how it goes.
Today I made lots of progress on home stuff. Load of laundry? Check. Scotchguarded Karen's coat? Check. Put up all the lit houses for the Christmas Village? Check. Installed all the under cabinet lights in the kitchen? Check!
Woot for me!
This morning I had tea. Not just any old tea, but peppermint tea. Peppermint is special to me. It brings back several memories, all of them soothing and calm.
My Grandfather and a couple of uncles helped run a farm in Indiana that grew mint, spearmint and peppermint, even hybridizing a wintergreen-ish type. When we would visit it would often be during the mint growing...

Finally finished mudding and painting the backsplash area in the kitchen. It's not perfect, but it's better than it was, and will suffice until we figure out what we want as a backsplash. And I can now put the under cabinet lights back up. Miss those.
We worked on weatherizing the well-head. Cleaned all the mud and stuff off then prepped the insulation. Waiting for...

I'm not feeling so hot myself. We can feel crappy together!

Yay...crappy feeling buddies. Hooray?
