~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

[Jude58]

Good morning cafe! It's mighty chilly out there with a temperature of zero, but thankfully there is no wind. It's been several years since we've had this much snow and colder temperatures. The skiers are loving it, but I am ready for Spring.

I've been to Canada several times and it is beautiful. The border is only about an hour and a half away from me so distance isn't a problem. I would love to go to Nova Scotia someday as I hear that it's gorgeous.

I'm in for another day of freedom...

Today is going to be a darn good day not to drink!

[abcowboy]

A nice warm hearty breakfast this morning...

[abcowboy]

We've been having such a crazy winter this year weatherwise! We're under an extreme cold warning for the next couple of days but at least there isn't supposed to be any snow to shovel lol

Have a peaceful easy Sunday everyone!

It's 27F here and cloudy. Not much chance the groundhog is going to see his shadow! Fingers crossed for an early Spring.

Ginger, I'm glad your sister was able to stick around in spite of her early feelings of homesickness. It sounds like you two had a great time together.

Hey Rava, do you still have the rabbit problems? I noticed here in our yard during all that snow that there were loads and loads of rabbit tracks all over the place! I had no idea.

24 more for all of us here, please and thank you.

[dill]

LOL! Perfect timing on my part. I got here just as Cowboy was serving breakfast! Thanks, Cowboy.

[Rava]

Good morning and just in time for breakfast. Thanks Cowboy. Dill the rabbit problem is better. We planted shrubs and flowers that rabbits dont tend to eat plus got this little sonar repellant thing that sits in the flowerbed. We are packing up and heading to the beach early this morning so we can get a parking space. Hope everyone stays warm where you are. Supposed to be 80 here today so I will take it with no complaining. 24 more hours of sobriety please and thank you.

[Ginger999]

Delicious breakfast, ABC. Having "little sister" withdrawal today. She's home safe and sound.

I'll take another day of freedom

[Jude58]

Not today...

Rava, the sonar repellent device sounds interesting. I think I'll google it. If they have a version that works for rabbits, I bet there's something that might discourage mice. I have tiny invaders here from time to time. It's part and parcel to living in an old farmhouse I'm afraid. But maybe I can try the sonar route next winter. They don't usually invade until the colder months. I have several live traps around the house in the winter.to catch them and get rid of them. I'm not a fan of mice.

I'll join you all in another day of freedom.

[Ginger999]

Happy Monday everyone! I'll take another day of freedom

Yesterday I met up with my aunt who lives here in Orlando area, and we had an exquisite lunch together, and then went to the theater together in the evening.

I wasn’t sure if taking care of dementia patients was still what you were doing in your post-retirement job, Jude. Yes, it is so draining. Now the primary caregiver that I got for my MIL during her last years with dementia, whom the family now employs for my former sister-in-law’s dementia (I’m divorced now), is planning to quit as soon as she can find another job. I don’t blame her. I basically “quit” too (by getting divorced) with frustrations over not being listened to when I would say what was going on with MIL and SIL from my view from in-the-trenches, seeing firsthand what was going on with them; and this caregiver is not being listened to and worked with either.

Mulberry, I agree that being dependent on a substance that can have such deleterious consequences if I don’t take it / lose access to it, is a big part of why I want off of it.

I had a “dry” Prosecco glass of “wine” yesterday at lunch! Maybe restaurants really are getting better at offering NA drinks.

24 more hours for me for my last day in Florida.
