Yikes! Your poor friends!

Oh, man, that is shotty, lisah. So sorry for them.

Yep super crapola. I have dinner and a margarita there almost every Monday. It’s a great small staff. The go fund me has reached its first goal, but they are all going to need several months of income.

Tough break for the bar workers and patrons.

I'm sorry to hear this. Best wishes to your friends and neighborhood. I hope they can rebuild quickly.

Sending lots of healthy~skin~ma to ma of erikaj.

I got out of the house very early and walked through a quite cold Panhandle to the bakery to get a croissant and treats for my neighbor. Decided to hit up Faletti Market, which specializes in...Legacy Groceries? Venerable old brands often from foreign lands?

Anyway, EM was complaining that she couldn't find Crown Prince Smoked Oysters anymore and Voila! I scored some at Faletti's for her xmas stocking. And I also nabbed Matilda's fav, the British candy bar, Crunchie.

I've made good progress on stuffing stockings, and most of the Nick and Nora pjs are rolling in with the mail.

I picked up some seed packages for stocking stuffers!

I'm having friends over tonight, so there's an apple galette on the counter, and I have pizza dough in the fridge. Hope everything goes okay and the dog doesn't jump on anyone...

Timelies all!

It snowed here yesterday.(Apparently it's on the early side for this area for first snow) Not much, and it was all melted by noon today, but still, snow.

Ordered some Bluetooth earbuds. I had been meaning to do that for a while, but with two virtual meetings on Monday during work hours where I will have to take them in the stairwell, it's a good idea.(Neither are work related.)

Ordered some Bluetooth earbuds.

Game changer. Enjoy.

We went to see the South Florida Symphony Christmas concert tonight. First half was various popular Christmas music, including an awesome You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch sung by their incredible baritone. Then a number of religious sing-alongs, which I had extensive experience with as a Catholic schoolgirl. Great participation from the full house. The second half was Handel's Messiah, which I found uplifting, and my son and husband endured on my behalf. All in all, a good time was had by all. As is typical for South Florida events, the women were dressed up, and the men were casual. One amusing couple where she was in a gown and he was in shorts, slides, and a jacket over his polo shirt. It was pretty much everyone doing their own thing, which is nice.

Midnight Burger update: just finished season 4, I will be listening in realtime before long. I’m glad I don’t have to wait at this point, though
