Good morning pond. 20° here this morning. It's been a stressful week this past week. Mostly just kids being stressed and frustrated over everything that's going on. DS is in a panic over all state auditions because his clarinets are squeaking a lot. I got a quick fix done to one yesterday but it's not perfect. They didn't have any rentals available to just swap it out so it'll have to do. He made districts in Swim so he can stop fussing over that one. He said he's falling behind in his homework so he's stressing over that and his wisdom teeth are coming out on Friday. Of course they're calling for ice Thursday night and snow Friday morning so we'll have to drive down the mountain in all that. I'm praying we don't get it. DD woke up with a sore throat, headache and sniffles again. We just can't seem to purge sickness from our house. That and her back is still bothering her. She's been going to the chiropractor twice a week for 3-4 weeks now, trying to fix it. DH is back in school, his last semester for his associates degree. He had to quit his job in order to keep his classes. Long story short, Good worked a miracle and got him in an IT job that will give him experience AND let him finish his degree. I have a massive stack of saddles that need finished but keep not having time to work on them. Sorry for the rant. I need a vacation on a tropical beach alone for a few weeks :/

My massive pile of unsewn saddles lol

Good morning, Pond. Ice fishing starts at noon.

Hopefully the wind goes down by then, or we’ll get blown right off the pond.

Where else can you rant with no repercussions.

This is where I would rant, if I needed to.

There are times when we all need to vent and no one to vent to.

Only my husband and me here, I don't think I can rant to him about him.

Ponders good morning one and all!

The temperature is 45 and sunny.

Have a great day!
