Awakened to snow on the ground, just a bit and 24 F. I know that I am always complaining about the weather, it's a thing. I prefer to deal with 6 weeks of cold misery vs. months of sweltering. I am very limited in my temperature comfort range.
My dear son spent the afternoon installing a new fireplace screen. My home was built with old brick from a long-closed steel mill here. The brick is a bit wavy and the mortar joints are different sizes outside and on the fireplace. That meant a lot of custom fitting and drilling and a few bad words. He did apologize each time, not the REALLY bad words, just the little mumbles😁 I sometimes forget he is 50 years old and I don't want to monopolize his time. Because of all these issues I had to have the darn thing custom made and a local installer wanted almost as much to install as did the manufacturer of the screen. I do not ask him to do much because he has his own home and new family to take care of on his time off but this was sort of a big deal. It only cost me a pizza and a nut roll, not bad, huh?

Merry Christmas week, Happy Hannhakuh week.
- I have so much to do this week, I really was well organized this year too.
- Argentina won the world cup. A dear friend has a large extended family there. I would bet he is jumping up and down right now!
- Have you ever tried that super double sided sticky tape? (Amazon, EZ lifego Double Sided Tape Heavy Duty, Multipurpose Removable Mounting Tape Adhesive Grip,Reusable Strong Sticky Wall Tape Strips Transparent Tape) It really does stick, really sticks. Ask me how I know this! Make sure you put it where you want it and make sure you have enough space to leverage the item off if you change your mind.
- I am just wondering, do you think the Christmas ornaments change positions on the tree when we sleep? I swear something is up with them. I have one large Polish Santa who is facing backwards again this morning. I have to admit, it is starting to give me "The willies!"
(Amazon, Just wanted to pop in here to say that if you have recently seen some comments that were in German, Arabic, or Spanish, they have been deleted. I translated them and while not vulgar or inappropriate in any way, they were essentially advertisements for furniture (?) and for a date matching service! (I know, right? A date? I don't think so!)
