    Hmm what made me mad today? Probably the fact that while I had the correct information needed to rectify a situation I was still ignored. That made me pretty mad.

    In our house there are a few traditions around Christmas & today I crossed one of them off the list: washing all the windows inside & out. Thankfully it was dry but damp out so was able to them & washed the cars as well! My knee is aching already, but it made Mum happy and if she-who-must-be-obeyed is happy then so am I!

I did this, even though I normally don’t do things like this, and it said it was validating the coupon. It then said the coupon had already been printed when it HAD NOT! SO IRRITATED!!

    Maddening that my knee is so sore after only doing a bit of hard physical work this morning. And I’ve got more physio exercises to do every day before I see my consultant again in early December. Constant pain is so tiring, but hey, things could be so much worse: I have a roof over my head, food in my belly & a family that cares about me; doesn’t get better than that, does it?

    Tommy the cat continues to improve, thank goodness, so hopefully he’s over the worst. No more processed cat food for him, only raw meat/fish. Still it actually works out cheaper and my very first job as a newly-qualified food technologist way back in ’81 was in a pet food factory so I know the all tricks of the trade pulled in order to maximise profit.

    What made me hopeful today was we can get the rest of the stuff in the yard put away for the year. It had snowed fast and hard and everything was covered up so we couldn’t not only find it but it was frozen to the ground. Right now it is thawing and we are getting things done.

    Had a good laugh, first with my grandson and then with my daughter, about the fact that he came home yesterday, laid down on my bed while talking with me, and promptly fell asleep. His mother managed to get him ambulatory enough to go to his room (6’4″–not easy to carry anymore!), but this morning he looked at me and asked, “How did I get to my bed?”

    I was hopeful today after speaking to a clerk in a retail store. She was telling me about having to work Thanksgiving, but she had the best attitude about it. I don’t envy retail workers having to work on holidays, but this clerk’s attitude made me see that there are some people who can make you look at something in a different way than you originally thought about it.

    Not really mad at anything at all today (keep thinking about those penguins, Kate).

    Tommy the cat is home & still not himself but I managed to get his tablets down him with no stress to him & no scratches to me. His bloods all came back clear except for a slight rise in white blood cells so he’s obviously fighting something and he’s a bit anaemic so he’s had a B12 jab. Hopefully he’s finally on the mend.

    Happy today because well, I’m grateful for what I have. Maybe it’s the time of year, but I seem to be in a very reflective mood lately. I’m not at all religious but I really feel as one with the seasons, even more so the older I get. This time of year, especially here in the country, with the harvest home, and the plants and animals getting ready for the winter, the darker evenings, the colder weather, all help me to realise just how lucky I am. Yes, there are bad things happening in the world and in everyday life, but, just as with the advent of winter there comes the hope of Spring and new life, brighter days and flowers.

    Today I am mad because a friend of mine keeps leaving snarky comments on my photography and poetry shares. I am very sensitive to negative comments on my creative endeavors. It hurts my feelings. I don’t understand why every comment this person leaves has to be making fun of what I am posting rather than celebrating or offering useful critiques. I am open to helpful comments, even if negative, but negative and poking fun just for fun is cruel in my mind.

I got to visit and he’s making tremendous progress looks amazing compared to the past few weeks and got good lab results that chemo is working and his levels are going down. That is the best blessing and I am so happy to have that relief I have been so worried about him lately.

No issues or anything like that but they moved back to where they were when all of their troubles started. I am very concerned and trying to stay positive. They need to live their own lives and I am happy for them. I am just really concerned because right now I am not seeing any positives. Keep me in your prayers friends.

    Happy today because I realised that, as a family, we’re not half bad at all. You read about families in trouble because of crime, drugs etc. & thankfully we were brought up to know right from wrong, to tell the truth, to value education and to ask for help if we need it.

I am afraid that they will base my report on things beyond my control and not approve it. I am so irritated.

    I got mad today when I was trying to find my way onto the interstate exit in an unfamiliar area. The street signs were arranged in a confusing manner, and when I realized that I was turning onto the wrong street (which was not a street – it actually had a dropoff!) I maneuvered back onto the road. Unfortunately, I didn’t notice someone else making a U-Turn. I glanced to the side and saw the movie image of two headlights heading straight toward us. Luckily, they saw us and stopped – but, it made me so angry that this town doesn’t have their signs well marked. Not to mention the drop off which I have had a problem with before. This is the 2nd time I have almost had an accident at this particular exit which tells me that there is a problem!

    Today I am mad because even after cleaning my mattress and treating it with enzyme cleanser, it is still stinking. It is over 7 years old and I know I need a new one but I don’t have the money to get one yet. I am hoping to use my tax return to get a new one in February but need this one to last until then. It smells so badly and I am at a loss as to what to do to make it not stink. UGH!!!!

      Hi Angie,
      Hope you don’t think I’m being nosy but have you tried baking soda? One of our cats had her kittens on my bed & I didn’t think of protecting the mattress. I’m allergic to lots of detergents so try to stick with natural products when I can. Just sprinkle the powder & leave about 6 – 10 hours then vacuum off. Also you can make a paste by just adding a bit of water for stubborn stains etc. Don’t rub, just let it dry & vacuum. Good luck!

I was making a big apple crumble (some to freeze & some to have tonight after Pilates) and found the biggest cat poo I’ve ever seen in one of the kitchen cupboards – ugh & yeuch! It’s taken me over an hour to scrub the cupboard & wash all the casserole dishes etc. I know he hasn’t been well but honestly, this thing was enormous and so untypical of him.

    Today what has made me happy is the feeling of gratefulness I have after reading some of the other peoples’ comments – I do not have 5″ of snow to deal with (just more rain) and we don’t celebrate Thanksgiving so don’t have to worry about what to serve. Completely understand the previous commentator re. Quorn products though – I don’t eat meat/fish at all so rely on Quorn-type products if I’m looking to reproduce the ‘meaty’ texture and it is annoying when they’re suddenly unavailable. Hopefully she’ll be able to sort something out.

I was literally in tears last night thinking my Thanksgiving meal was going to be ruined the one year that I have family coming for the meal! Every year these two stores have sold out of these roasts, so I am at a loss as to why they are not carrying them this year. I will be heartbroken if I can’t find what I need for my meal. It would be like a meat eater not being able to find any turkey!

    Not mad today Connie but sad: I was going through lasy year’s Christmas cards, to make my own gift tags & found cards from family friends no longer with us, especially Aggie. Such a quirky, wonderful woman who decided last January that she’d had enough of 3 times a week dialysis and chronic arthritis (she’d been a ski instructor and travelled the world) and so refused any more treatment and died a week later at home with her family. So typical of her, always doing things on her own terms and I think of her every day. Wherever she is I bet she’s enjoying a gin& tonic (or three) and dancing on tables!

    Today I am mad because family can never be simple. Our niece and nephew are visiting from WV and contacted us for the first time EVER to see us when they were visiting other family members. Well, we had planned to just see them for a 4 top dinner and catch up and get to know them as the adults they now are. Enter the rest of my husband’s family AS USUAL! They tried to hijack our gathering with them by texting and inserting themselves in the dinner we had planned etc. My husband made it quite clear that he only wanted to see our niece and nephew as planned, but now I am betting the rest of the family is mad at us for this. They shouldn’t be. We should be allowed to get with family members a few at a time and not a whole houseful where it is so loud and annoying you can’t get a decent visit in. But I know them and I know that they will be mad at us. Makes me very angry.
