12/13/24 - Donuts and Hot Chocolate

Good morning all.... I shipped out 6 boxes this morning.... I got to the post office just as it was opening to the public..... so those gifts and cookies are on the way to some folks.... the rest will go out Monday.... even if Amazon doesn't deliver the last packages today.....

We are due for drizzle/rain here in Wichita this afternoon, I'm heading off to a school, north of us not terribly far from us, they are expecting Joy ful freezing drizzle.... we will still be in the mid 30's so not likely going to be freezing drizzle for us....

Yesterday's hours at the school were filled with nothing to do... but hey... I can do nothing better than most......and at a school I get paid to do nothing.... win win....

kat I hope your concrete is drying well and you can eventually use your drive way again.....

WW pour a cup of hot cocoa for me.... hold those nasty marshmallows......
 
Hello. It's official now--I have a nasty cold. Ugh! I'm trying to cook some chicken soup but didn't have much to put in it. All I want to do is sleep. But I have to deal with some food things, starting with dividing up meat into smaller portions to put in the freezer and cooking something else to have handy. Right now I'm sipping some hot water with a little bit of Texas honey and some apple cider vinegar in it.
 
It's been cloudy, dreary all day. This afternoon, it's in the 50s. It's suppose to rain Sat AM. I'll be getting wet a lot
since my car outside now.

My friend only walked once around with me this morning since she and hubby had to pre register for his surgery next
week. When I went the 2nd time, I saw 4 deer in the distance by a field. The next time around, there was a deer by someone's
backyard fence looking at me. (all the houses have wire fences to see out the field). Then when I got to the field area, there
were 7 deer out in the field. It made me happy since I had no cable and internet when I woke up this morning.

When I called Cox, the recording said stuff up before 8. When it wasn't, the message said before noon. I knew I had things to
do on the board. Since my friend not home, I called and asked if I could use her internet. She said ok. So, I drove over and used
the key I have. That's how the spoilers got up this morning. Today I went out and did errands. I hoped when I got home everything
would be on. Nope. It finally came on less than 30 minutes ago.

I made several stops when out before going to the mall. The one day a year I go. The mall opens at 11. The Chinese food place
opens early. I got my food and put in the car. Then I bought some chocolate. I didn't see anything I wanted in the stores I
went to. I put two meals of Chinese in the freezer and I have two more to eat later. They give you so much when you buy two meals.

I'm going to turn on my Christmas tree soon since it's yucky out.

OC, sorry to hear about your cold. I keep several varieties of canned chicken soup on hand since I don't make homemade soup.

Wilde Woman, I hope the hot chocolate makes your day better.

robin, I was told I can use driveway Sat. I going to wait until Sunday afternoon since it's suppose to warm the next few days. I
hope the packages come before your next mailing.

Poirot, enjoy the sunshine.

I hope everyone has a good rest of Friday the 13.
 
I used to make really good chicken soup........and made huge pot of it. Used a whole cut up chicken. Really big pot. However. now, just no idea how to make less.......so........also rely now on different brands of chicken soup in cans. I probably have 3 right now.....each does about 2 meals for me, once in a while I get 3, but probably just ate less so enough left for a 3rd one. LOL A learning experience cooking now for just one. :)
 
Cute squirrel, Robin. Shenanigans, no doubt! Oh, Earl's friend showed up here today. First time in a while.

Carlos is quite the pet. I think they may need to come up with some way to confine him at home when they go out.

Kat, you sure saw a nice bunch of deer this morning. That, along with your Christmas lights would add some cheer to a dreary day. Yea for food to bring home for the freezer!

I have to admit I added 2 cans of soup to the chicken breasts I cooked, since I didn't have any broth or much else to add, and I didn't feel like putting much effort into anything today.
 
OC, I keep chicken broth in my house since I have acid reflex. When it gets bad, I'm suppose to have broth and
plain white toast.
