You know things are bad when I'm the first poster in 12 hours.

You know things are bad when Rudolph brings in the Abominable Snowman to deal with the Grinch (this is turning into the SCU - Santa Cinematic Universe).

I finally got something written and submitted its on the front page for your enjoyment : Sweet Summer

Will get to it later. Got some stuff to do first.

I discovered Dorothy via my Youtube recommendations a while ago. Solid American hard rock band with an incredible lead singer. Dorothy, BTW, is both the band name and the first name of the lead singer.

I hated meetings, Ape, and so I feel your pain. I am so happy to not have to attend them. Especially Zoom meetings - at least yours was in person.

Actually, we were about 50-50 in-person and Teams. We are in a sixth wave of COVID around here so a lot of people took the Teams option. I might have if I hadn't been presenting.

Spectacular events can be thrilling.

You know things are bad when Rudolph engineers a takeover of Santa's workshop and fires Santa

Unfortunately (for the poor dragon), the ape hopped the first boat back to Africa to get away from the dragons.

See, they didn't read that book either.

They did, but they just giggled and then tore it up to line their nest.😀

Welp, I survived my all-day meeting. Glad these don't happen too often (twice a year or so). As usual, my back and neck started to hate the chairs provided (we were using a room at a golf club) so I cut a bit early (the final session was just "team building") since I live near that golf club. One of my staff was remote so when I had her go on camera to introduce her, we got a visit from her doggie, too. 😊

A bit grey and shower-y but that's supposed to end and clear up. There's some work to be done outdoors so might get to that this afternoon after the weather settles and things warm up.

Coffee is brewing and there's Keemun and Red Rose in the tea pots. Hot water is on for the other hot drinks. Cold drink stash is checked and fresh pitcher of iced tea is in the fridge.

It's Saturday, folks! And Talia will be back soon (that's for Jeff's kitties)!

Mite - Mine

Fortunately, the ape found another dragon dentist living up the street

See the spectacular stage show!

pours a glass of tea and adding sugar to it

Given the 420 conversation, we can be glad she only added sugar to it. 🤣

A white chocolate chip cookie might go well with my breakfast tea, eh.

Coffee is a-brewing, tea is a-steeping. We have some Duke of Earl and English Breakfast in the pots today. Fresh iced tea is made and the soft drinks supply has been checked and replenished where needed. Kettle is ready, though I find the hot chocolate and marshmallows seem to be lasting longer these days.

Have a good one!!

You know things are bad when Pirate Santa!! hacks eBay to get the presents back

Haste can lead to waste.

Make - Male (which both redwriter and I are)

Whiskey is secret to longevity. (so someone on my other board just told me)

Unfortunately, the dragon dentist was on holidays.

Bake - Cake (hey, it follows naturally, right?)

A coffee and a 4/20 cookie please.

Not sure Sara makes that kind of cookie. And I thought it was usually 4/20 brownies. 😊

Good day. The snow of the past couple days reminded me that it has been a very long time since my poor CR-V had new wiper blades so I dropped down to Crappy Tire (that's what we call Canadian Tire behind their backs) to pick up fresh ones. Also got lamb shawarma for lunch.

Coffee is brewed and I've got some Assam tea (premium Indian tea) and Red Rose in the teapots. Other beverages, both hot and cold, available as needed. I made some iced tea and put it in the fridge. It's unsweetened but you can add sugar, lemon, etc. from the coffee/tea bar.

Unfortunately, the dragon was curious about how apes taste

You know things are bad when the Easter Bunny picks up the forgotten presents and takes over Christmas

Late - Lake

Beach is sand and water.

Maze - Mate

Bitter medicine is sometimes needed.

Unfortunately, the ape got stepped on by a dragon in the melee for the yummies!

You know things are bad when Pirate Santa!! comes down the chimney!

Quote by elizabethblack
Ho, ho, ho, and a bottle of rum

Pirate Santa!! 🤣

scarfs several cookies

I think the snow may be over but it was a surprising amount of accumulation for this time of year. Hope this is not a sign of things to come as global warming messes with our climate.
