we hate winter man.

What's this winter you speak of?  It's stunningly beautiful outside 🌞...no more devil's ball sack heat and humidity and you said it yourself - barely sweatband weather these days!  

 

Winter comes in Jan or Feb when people with underinflated summer slicks and water in their windshield washer reservoir begin to panic about whether their antifreeze is right for "freezing temps" 🤦‍♀️.

 

We got our 🎄 tree on Wednesday because people are weird here and they are likely nearly sold out at the tree place near the house. We got there an hour and a half after it opened and there were SOLD tags on at least a quarter of the lot that were out!  Kid1 and I were highly entertained when a family bought a large tree but brought a small truck to take it home.  There were half a dozen or so people trying to engineer a solution to get the tree fastened to the truck for transport.  

 

We didn't know how things were going to go with the junior cat, but he's content to lay under the tree.  He's only pulled the one dinosaur ornament off like 3 times.  There's a fight between him and the old lady Siam over real estate laying under the tree.

Mama T-B. had indicated a need for eyedrops, quick trip to pharmacy area man.

 

We up-picked Mama T-B. at Many (2x2x2 +2) a.m., appointed time man.

Had to wait <1 hour at W. Optical for service, look at new frames man.

Appointment took <1 hour, Many lenses to discuss man.

 

So far, so good, si man.

However, see this man:

 

Mama T-B. came with a whole list of items to shop for, :girlwerewolf2xn: man.

They were literally in all Many (2+2) corners of the store, :girlwerewolf2xn: man.

She wanted to get them in order of her list, not store-layout order, finally convince otherwise we man.

She tried on Many (2+2+2) shoes & slippers and again found none that fit, disappointing man.

We had eaten nothing and were not only quite hangry but almost reeling with lightheadedness, reel we man.

We're certain that we ruined her "day out," rare and almost certainly a treat for senior she man man.

We wish that she had told us in advance of these plans, consequently prepare better we man.

We were quite irritable and had her in tears by the end, :bonk: we man.

 

We didn't return to the casa until half-of-half till Many (2+1) p.m., Many-&-a-half hours out man.

There was no time to eat or siesta, no man.

We fed miu and prepared to de-skool Mini-B., no respite man.

 

Din-din was the remaining 2/Many'rds of the bag of Birdseye garlic chicken from Costco, ingest Two Guys man.

It was not consumed a moment too soon, ingest Two Guys man.

We finally felt better, good grief man.

And we feel awful how we treated Mama T-B., sigh man.

 

Movie night was the first Many (2+1) half-of-halves of an NBA game, watch Two Guys man.

Many (2+2) bowls of Costco popcorn were consumed, ingest Two Guys man.

 

Must arise at o'dark-Many on Tuesday to take Mini-B. to Band rehearsal, :girlwerewolf2xn: man.

No formal Tuesday plans otherwise, up-catch on various administrative stuff we man.

No party with the rubias tonight, no cavort we man.

And that was/is our thrilling Monday, report we man.
