The "It's December Already?", edition.

iPad shuffled to the Five Heatbeats, "Nothing But Love". Lol. I need to watch the movie again. For the 54 gazzillion nth time.  I told you that when we arrived at the clinic Friday morning at 4:30 AM that the mall across the mall street was pretty crowded but not full. When I came out around 8:30 AM it was more full. Not all the way to the road, but it could get full later on in the day. We headed to Mary's Hash House, which is not near any mall. Arrived about 5 minutes before it got packed. Ugh. I just choked on an ice cube...wtf?  Lol.  And when I say it got packed, I mean a party of 8 came in immediately followed by a party of 11. Then groups of 3 and 4 and a few more couples. The restaurant has maybe 20 tables of 2-4 seats, a counter and usually a single waitress. Mary is there every now and then. Mary's daughter was there to assist that day. She most certainly was needed. Did I tell you Mary has the best hash ever?  She makes her own jellies. And ketchup?  Lol. I'll save the description for another day.

L.T.D., "Love Ballad". Also on Friday yelling lady started out hoarse, but she found her stride. :-(  And finally my tech was lamenting that she forgot to bring her lunch. She said she was going to call her husband to bring her lunch. I offered to call Brian and have him bring some of our leftovers. She took me up on my offer. She let me know this morning that she enjoyed the meal and it kept her fed all day. She was om a 16 hour day.  Brian packed massive portions.  And we still ate leftovers through Saturday. Lol. Candied sweet potatoes, dressing, green beans and cranberry sauce are now gone. Some potato salad and macaroni and cheese are left, as well some ham and turkey. I'm looking forward to turkey sliders and will make turkey gumbo with rice today. I made scrambled eggs with (lots of) ham and cheese yesterday.  

The Sugarhill Gang, "Rapper's Delight".  Didn't go shopping on Friday.  We did go to Boulder Station Casino to "crack the safe", a promotion. I won nothing of note. The last day was Saturday. That was a bit better. I got 4000 points for my account. I'll explain that one day. The new promotion starts this month. Lol. They also give away pies and dinnerware. And lots of 2 for 1 buffets. Lol.  I did do some shopping on Etsy trying to support small Black businesses. And Sunday.  Damn Macy's. They sent me a notice that Cyber Monday starts now. The buy one pair of boots, get the second pair of boots free hooked me. Shawn had asked for a pair of boots. After looking at scores of boots at Macy's and DSW, I gave up and told her we'd look when she got here. The buy one get one free changed all of that. I sent her the link and told her to pick 2 pair. She picked 4 pair and told me to pick 2 pair and surprise her. Smart ass kid. Lol. 

Wolfmother, "Woman".  I asked my young niece in detroit where she liked to shop. She gave me the names of 2 stores. One doesn't sell gift cards online. And by the way. If you have a gift card, you can't use it at the online store. Yeah. Ok. That one is off the list. The other store was all in.  I can send it directly to her. Except, according to the comments, there is no option to indicate the gift giver. You know, no message option for the buyer. Oh well. I'll let her know  it's being sent. 

Stevie Wonder, "Send One Your Love".  On the dialysis front no new news. I now get my drugs via mail with automatic refills. So now I'm being overrun by all my meds. Lol. I have bags I haven't even opened.  Today there are 2 new people in my little area of 6. But I've mentioned that the clinic is a transient center, which means they accept traveling dialysis patients. I don't like the term transient. ;-(   And yelling lady is here *sigh*.  Home hemo can't come soon enough. Stay strong, Pat!!!

Signing off with Tevin Campbell, "Can We Talk".   I know this will cause eyes to roll but it has to be said. The temp here is unseasonally warm. I check the weather with the hourly option to plan my day. I haven't gotten it right.  Lol. I either dress too warm or not warm enough. It gets cool enough at night to have the heat on, but we fry during the day.  And of couse during dialysis I absolutely freeze so I have dress for that. Anyway, that's life. And no. I don't miss snow and ice.  At all. On that note, have a great day and stay warm. :)   Photos from the Etsy that I shopped at. Natural hair accessories.
