Taking a slow weekend off
It’s been below freezing for two days here in Milford, warming up to 31 only so the snow that’s forecast for tonight can begin to fall.
Tracy and I and the cats and Ruby have been snug under blankets on the sofa contemplating our as yet undecorated tree. Busy weeks ahead, news-wise, family-wise with kids coming to visit, and doubtlessly weather-wise.
We hope you are getting a start on your season, too.
Figured you were taking time off. Well deserved. My husband passed 3 weeks ago..have a supermarket wreath on front door. Cannot do any more. He was an UK Geordie self made guy walked to his own drummer. Wild man. Kinda like a pirate. He hated Trump. In hospital shortly before he passed I told him
Trump won. He was quiet then asked “how did this happen??” Good question.
I'm taking the next ~17 years off. I've been degenerating (devolving?) into disability since the late '80s, but I was finally approved for SSDI disability this summer... and years of back benefits finally hit my checking account Thursday! 😎💚🌵
I was terrified that it wouldn't come before 20 January...
Now, I'm afraid the Trump admin will stop paying disability, but that's a less immediate horror. My gnawing gut-level fear of NEVER getting those back benefits (thus remaining in debt and facing bankruptcy) ended Thursday.
