Super Bowl 2017

A buddy of mine has two tickets for the 2017 Super bowl. Box seats plus airfares, accommodation etc., but he didn't realize when he bought them that this is going to be on the same day as his wedding

- so he can't go.

If you're interested and want to go instead of him, it's at St. Peter's Church, on 23rd street in Nashville TN, at 3 pm. Her name's Louise. She's 5'4", about 125 lbs., nice chest, great legs, good cook, makes $130,000 a year!

PS -- She will be the one in the white dress.

Yeah, I saw that on FB about leaving the guy at the altar. Still funny.

I had not seen it but familiar for some reason still one of the
best jokes today

Thank you so much, y'all. It means a lot to me, it really does.

Mom was in her 60's the first time she was diagnosed. The year before, she had cared for her own 80-something mother after she had had a radical mastectomy, and had vivid memories fresh in her mind. With Mom, the chosen course of action was a lumpectomy and radiation. At first, she was a little self-conscious about the two tiny blue dots that they tattooed on her breastbone to help them stay on target with each session, and she could have had them removed once the treatment was over, but by that time, she decided they weren't that big a deal . . . . battle scars, and all that.

She has faced this dragon before, and knows it can be defeated. She knows the battle is different this time (for one thing, certain treatment options are no longer on the table) but it doesn't loom as large in her head as it once did. She can say, "next year we'll . . . ." with the casual confidence of someone who expects to be around to see those plans through. She isn't thrilled with the prospect of chemo and all that that entails, but at this point, she more or less just wants to get on with it. It sounds to me like she's in a pretty good place in her head on this. I live almost 2 hours away, so realistically, I am in the position of having to do most of my caring and supporting long-distance - which means a lot of praying.

Prayers for your mom.

Ugh, it snowed... I haven't gotten up yet or gone outside to see how bad, but I'm guessing 2-3 inches at least and there are still flurrys coming down....

...Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect until 7 PM EST this
evening...

* location...Scotland...Hoke...Cumberland...and Sampson counties.

* Hazards...freezing rain...sleet...and snow.

* Accumulations...snow and sleet accumulation of up to 1
inch... along with around a tenth of an inch of ice.

* Timing...rain will transition to freezing rain and sleet

In that blip I cut off the temp's, down to 9° tonight and the high for Sunday is the mid 20's. We will not get above 32° till Tuesday afternoon.

Sleep is what I have planned this weekend.

We're only supposed to get an inch of snow tonight. My sister in Southern Maryland has about 4 inches so far, and her kids are ecstatic. We have a ton of ice here. The animals and humans can barely get traction. Central Maine Power was out today to deal with the limbs on our line from last weeks storm and the truck got stuck in my driveway. It made it most of the way up, then slid sideways into the snowbank and he couldn't get back out. I had 5 gallons of salt/sand mixture left which got him out, luckily. I then went to the town sand pile and it was completely stripped. I chatted with one guy there, explained there was a CMP guy stuck in my driveway. Turns out that guy also worked for CMP and helped me scrape enough off the ground to bring a bucket home.
Then I got up on the roof of the chicken coop to shovel what felt like 4,000 pounds of super compacted snow and ice off it. Our local meteorologist was letting us know that there was probably 80% of the allowable snow weight load on roofs and to get out there this weekend and get them shoveled off. I am glad I did it. It didn't look that high (maybe about 18 inches) but it sure was heavy.
I'm trying to finish quilting a crazy quilt for Crazy Neighbor Lady today. CMP had to turn the power off for a bit (so I did the roof). Waiting a bit to ensure they're done before getting my machine turned back on.
