So here I am in the comfy chair:  Listening to music, checking email, and basking in the Happy Lite.

Several kind people sent me tea over the last few days, and I now rejoice in two infusers, where I previously had none. This morning, in celebration of the weather, I am enjoying Russian Caravan tea.

Ah..."and all the bad boys are standing in the shadows/and all the good girls are home with broken hearts."

Taking a break to do PT homework, start washing the curtains and take out some chicken breasts to hopefully defrost in time to be cooked for tomorrow's lunch and! follow up baked chicken sandwiches. The Forbidden Food List includes all lunch meats and ... that's an ongoing hardship. But, there's no prohibition against sliced chicken off a home-cooked breast.

It's still snowing a bit, and I'm measuring just 5 inches on the deck.

UPS is still insisting it's making a delivery today, and I found a place to tell the driver to PUT THE BOX IN THE GARAGE, and I opened the garage door. Fingers crossed.

I got an automated call saying that the local Senior Center, which serves lunch to a good many people, is closed today on account of Weather. Reopening on Friday. I hope everybody who depends on that lunch is OK.

I've explored the new door configuration again and what I think is that I need to go to Home Despot next week and Stare at Stuff.

The cats are Visibly Relieved to have their Safe Room back. The last couple days were tense for all of us. But! It's behind us now. Just gotta settle the bill. (eek! and yes, I can settle the bill, and I don't depend on the Senior Center for lunch. Which makes me a very fortunate woman.)

How's everybody doing today?

Well done UPS!

The Ring went off, which meant that somebody had approached the front door, and I said to Rookie and Tali as I got up from my keyboard. "That's UPS, and they didn't put in the garage."

There was a car in the driveway when I got to the door, and the box was on the front step, and I was opening the door, when the driver of the car got out, and came rushing back to me, "I'm so sorry; I only just saw that you wanted it in the garage. I'm really sorry."

And I said, "Thank you for coming back. Since you got it this far, can you just put it inside the door?"

"Oh, yes. I can certainly do that! I'm sorry."

And he put the box in the house; we exchanged Happy Holidays and he drove off.

So, praise where earned. Well-done, UPS!

And in fact, this is what was in the box:

Wrote +/-1160 words today, and reviewed several scenes that I considered "problematical,"which are, in fact, perfectly fine and actually do belong in this book. The WIP entire is more or less 112,200 words.

Coon Cat Happy Hour has occurred. I have discovered that I bought some frozen dumplings, and that will be my evening meal. Tomorrow, my intention is to write and to bake a loaf of bread, perhaps not even in that order.

Everybody have a good evening. Stay safe. I'll be around tomorrow.

Oh!  Today's blog post title from Mr. Thomas Petty, "Free fallin'"
