It is a godsend Elizabeth. ..and I'm glad you are with us.
digging deeper is an interesting concept. And one that I have avoided in my personal life. Maybe it's time to dig deeper and address what's going on., or what isn't happening. Finding the path to happiness.
tetra...good job on the interview. I hope you get the job. But if you don't, it's because there is a better one out there for you.
I didn't sleep well either brynn. Coyotes were howling and my dogs growled at them and woke me up.
I'm on my lunch break and better drag myself back to work.

So my auntie owns a house in town that she rents out to students. She was out weeding the front garden this afternoon when one of the new tenants arrived with his mother and a carload of bags. As his mother was leaving she turned to my aunt and said "please look after my baby". Her "baby" is 19!

Hi Miscreants - and Tetra. Tetra is too nice to be a miscreant. Tetra, I hope that your interview is a success. If not, as HaF said, a better one is out there.
Buffing plums. That really is just conjuring up all sorts of images in my head. The things we learn here.
I talked to my mother and my dad is not having his gallbladder removed now. Apparently his heart is too weak. They will try controlling it through medication and at this point, he has to opt whether he wishes to be placed on the list for a heart transplant.
I wish I felt better. I'm tired. And rather cranky. And I've been eating potato chips and it's not making me feel better. Maybe some actual sugary something or other. And I'm a diet coke person. I buy teas with good intentions and just cannot seem to like them. I will drink unsweetened iced tea.

HaF, I should eat better. Maybe some healthier comfort food. But darn it. Ice cream is SO good sometimes. I'm so not having fun at work today. Not that anything's bad. It's just not very satisfying.

I am praying for your dad, too, Ruby. 
I have tried and tried tea, but I just can't seem to like it, either. For a time when I was young, I enjoyed Bigelow's Constant Comment while I sat in my chair and studied; but that phase ended. I have tried to recreate it, but the feeling has long gone.
I always make tea either way too strong or way too weak. My son was really into it--his friend's family reeled him in. He tried to introduce me to a tea ball and gourmet loose leaf teas--but I'm afraid it was like trying to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear!
I went to a fancy tea last weekend, and there were two courses of tea. I enjoyed them both. But then there was food involved, too!
Several years ago my mother-in-law bought me the coolest gift for my birthday: a teapot with a big matching cup that nested upside down on top. I have only used it once. It's a shame. I would give it to my son, but I don't want my mother-in-law to find out I gave it away.

Ruby, did you see my healthy, ice cream substitute? You freeze peeled bananas, mash them up mixing in a little almond milk to get the consistency then add fruit, chocolate chips, whatever you want. Surprisingly good.

Bed time for me folks.
I do like simple tea. Nice and strong, particularly after a weekend fry up.

Remembering you and your dad in my prayers, Ruby. It's so hard to see our parents get older and in poor health. I sometimes look at my dad and wonder who that old man is?!? I cringe thinking about getting older.
