Tom and Sheila are hosting a solstice pot luck dinner tonight. All of the usual suspects will be there. I made a pear upside down cake last night for the dinner. Unfortunately, I left the cake uncovered on the kitchen island and the cat jumped up on the island and started liking the cake. Who knew cats liked sweets? The cake is now in the trash and a pan of chocolate orange brownies is in the oven.
I’m leaving for St. Louis on Sunday. I don’t look forward to the drive but I waited too long to book a flight. I’ll be staying at K’s apartment but he’ll be in Kansas City. We’ll probably meet at mile maker 278 and throw gifts across I-70 to each other. I’m hoping to drive back on Thursday or Friday.
Crazy Barb is going to take care of Ferdinand while I’m in St. Louis. I’m sure he’ll be spoiled when he comes home. Barb used to cook breakfast for the cat every day. It’s no wonder he’s always at her house.
The contract negotiations have been put on hold until January. I’m still waiting for the contracting company to respond to my counter offer. I hope we settle closer to my number.
Have a safe and happy holiday.
happy holidays, hon. be careful out there driving in all that snow.
I looked up driving directions from Denver to St. Louis. I bet Kansas gets really long after a few hours. Be safe! Too bad you and K can’t spend more time together.
Otherwise, have a good holiday. Be safe, stay warm.
That darn cat!
Travel safely my friend, and may all the joy of the holiday season warm your heart and soul into the new year.
Or some shit like that.
Merry Christmas!!!
