[This was written last week but then I couldn’t get an Internet connection for me to publish my complaints. And if I would have known while I was typing that I had no Internet, I also would have added complaints about that along with complaints of having no TV due to yet continued receiver problems which put Verizon and Dish Network right up there with Delta on my : ( crab list.]
So, yes, today crab session is in session…
Today would have been the day I was packing for a few days in sunny California, except I’m not. And to make the cancelled trip even more bittery, as I sit here today in dreary Illinois, I still have to pay for the flights that I am not going to be on to sunny California. Southwest was reasonable on giving me credit on a future flight; Delta was not. Nothing. Boooo, and don’t you think I will ever forget it, Delta.
[The trip was going to be me joining Gary for his work in San Diego/LA , that is until his program manager last Friday cancelled his Monday trip so there went my mini-vacay. : ( I’m making it all about me, I know, but technically it’s allowed during a crab session. It was gonna be my mom-get-away.]
Plus, I am having no interest in gearing up for the upcoming holidays. I think when it’s so non-wintry, it makes me feel like it’s not really coming up. Here’s the kids on Saturday and yep, it’s been 70 degrees ish in December which was lovely but so not Christmas-y.
I will say we have an elf that appeared on a shelf for the first time and he’s been having some fun around here. His name is Buddy, but I think of him as Little Rebel. Day 2 he was found eating a sticky sucker in Gary’s chair and left not only the wrapper lying there but had left the remote in the chair (!). 
I suspect there may be trouble beyond playing in the Qtips.
I am glad goofy stuff gets me out of my bad mood.
So, what else?
Well, this past weekend I staked out some future rooms out in the back yard using the little orange flags to represent the walls and that’s about it for progress on the new addition. But at least it’s still in the talks. It brought to light that our projected great room was not quite great enough, too narrow, and my kitchen sink window was exactly where it ought to be for maximum pasture view. This shows the corner of the kitchen, the dining room, and the screen porch. Remove the gas barrel and fence and that’s our new backyard. Well, add the pool in and there you have it.
Did you hear? “Break ground this spring or we’re moving out” is the new motto. That kinda gets a fire going under ya and that’s just what we needed.
