Has everyone heard from Wabbit? If you didn't get an email, PM me.

Later,

Hi all. I hope Wabbit is doing okay. Don't imagine she'll be stopping by here much for a while, but in case she does -- We're all thinking about you, Wab, and anytime you want to "talk", we are available.

Had my first OT appointment yesterday. Oy. The guy tells me I should do absolutely nothing that "hurts" for at 2 or 3 weeks. Of course we're talking my right elbow, so I don't use that for anything... Then he gives me a paper with a stretching exercise on it, which I just did. It hurt. Go figure. Anyway I have to "mouse" with my left hand for a while. That is some awkward. I'll have to get a new mouse. They also did some weird electrical doodad with steroidal medicine on a skin patch delivered by electrical impulse. Or something; I think it was voodoo.

Later cowsies

I was going to post today, too. In case Wabby stops by we need to be here!

Tomorrow I plan to buy a daybed. I don't want a daybed but I need something for lcp to sleep on so ds can have his bed back. She'll be here the weekend before Christmas, I'm told. And I'm glad.

I know---it seems so lonely here without Wabby---seems weird to just talk about ordinary things considering what is going on in her life. When they say "live goes on"----i really HATE that saying---the only trouble is----it's actually true---people go on talking about this and that while you feel the bottom has dropped out of your entire world. YOu actually feel like you live on another planet. Here in rainyville,nothing is new------it's just that the herd has suffered a devastating blow and we are all gathering to talk for the sake of hanging together. I don't think one of us has stopped thinking about wabby the entire week.---------------like cowpern and kiwi said----if you are out there wabbit----know that we are with you in all our thoughts. we love you and we are here keeping your space warm for you. xoxoxoxoxoxo

We're kind of snowed in here right now. It's beautiful here.

Wabby has been constantly in my thoughts. I hope she knows that.

I'm glad we're posting again. Love you, Wabs!

Nothing new here either. Went downtown, looked at Christmas stuff. Came home. There's a Christmas market tomorrow in Dullsville which we'll probably go to. I've been 10 times so far and it NEVER changes. Oh well.

But why would a Christmas Market in the hometown of Kris Kringle ever need to change? What's in it? I bet it has everything I would want for Christmas. Tell.

I bought furniture today. I bought more than I planned to buy and now I HAVE to clean out that room.

Oh woe is me.

What's in it...hmm...let's see. There's bratwurst and beer and Schmalzkuchen which translates as "lard cake" but tastes much better. There are raffle tickets - one year we won a shrub, the next a crate of vegetables. There are arts and crafts, the same ones every year because no one buys them. There's the beautiful church which has just been renovated and will have its grand re-opening. Did I mention the beer? Lots of beer.

I'll try to get some pictures tomorrow. Only the crappy camera works. The battery charger for the good camera seems to have gone the way of that green shoe. Please suggest places we might find it.

Just how much furniture did you buy?

No no no. I bet they have beautiful Santas with long beards and cute clothes. I bet they have pretzel ornaments and snow thingies you shake. We don't have those in Florida. They have nutcrackers and cute dolls and nice chocolate. Admit it .

I bought a lovely daybed. The back part is sand-colored (not snow-colored) brass curvy stuff and the mattress is really nice with extra pillowing on top. And I bought two comfy black metal woven looking twirling and uping and downing chairs and computer work or whatever. And I bought something calling an accessory table or accent table or something. Very pretty I thought with two drawers and two shelves behind two doors. Small. LCP might use it for her stuff or I might drag it into the lr and put the tv on it.

The problem: the cat box is in that room along with folding chairs, coolers and such. Where or where to put them. The house is small and there is no storage that's not full. I walk around and around and find nothing. So I went online to look for ideas and found this guy who suggests that I get rid of my wonderful big fridge and get an under counter one and take down all the doors and replace them with CURTAINS. Isnt' that horrible? I'm still looking. Someone suggest something. I want to put the cat box in the washing machine room even though it's by the kitchen but then where to put the coolers and all that crap. I need coolers sometimes. Really.

Oh, you poor dear, having to fit new furniture in your house. Want some help? I could probably find room for some of it here.

I had the yearly endless conversation with my brother, bless his little twisted heart. He was calling from his truck, as in 18-wheel rig, and I think his main reason for calling was to get ideas for DD for Christmas, but we wished each other belated birthdays (well, you know, it's the thought that counts) and then I heard every freaking last detail about his weekly long-haul, all their dogs and other minutae. I could barely get a word in edge-wise. But no matter, gotta love the old redneck bro'. He suggested we buy him a great big area rug for Christmas. Say wha? That sounds like a fun thing to pack in the back of the SUV... Crazy person.

mmmmmmmmmmm later

Oh lordie, it takes me so long to function with my left hand on the puter that I cannot keep up with a conversation.

Everyone should have coolers. How can you have a decent picnic or day at the beach without coolers? I store ours in the garage. Is there room in the extra room for a folding screen, behind which you could keep lovely things like coolers? Or high shelves in some closet that you could put them on?

I'm trying to decide between this and this, in "eggplant". It's for me. What do you think?

Kiwi

Great big area rug gift card comes to mind.

Minutae is a big word for a redneck sis.

Where can I put my coolers? Trunk of car? You are not helpful.

I vote for in eggplant cause I like the neckline better on me.

I have a small table (small dinnette square wood thing) that I'm leaving in that room. I could turn it on its side and put things behind it.

also I don't like the slitty sleeves.

it is so funny to look for storage ideas. I just learned to how MAKE a thing to all my barrettes on. This would save space I guess if I had a barrette.

Also, I can put things under the stairs like I wouldn't think of that if I had a stair.
