At first I read that as chicken cabernet! Boy did my brain have an issue grappling with that!

YOU had a problem????

It's bad enough being roasted, fried, and fricasseed ... now being stomped on & bottled?

Happy winter solstice everyone! A cup of black coffee is warming my cockles.

Capt. Morgan Jamaica rum in a small glass.

Wouldn't it be better to just drink it?

First mug of tea.

My cockles are on their own!

This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine.
This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine.
This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine.

Every day, every day, every day, every way,
Gonna let my little light shine.
Light that shines is the light of love,
Hides the darkness from above,
Shines on me and it shines on you,
Shows you what the power of love can do.
Shine my light both bright and clear,
Shine my light both far and near,
In every dark corner that I find,
Let my little light shine.

No one like Odetta to spread some light on the longest night of the year!

Good morning, everyone! Happy Solstice! A chilly morn waiting for the sun to rise, 16°c and I'm drinking a big mug of Taylors of Harrogate's "Yorkshire" tea to warm me up. I know that by 9am I'll be sleeveless again, but right now it sure feel's like winter.

Happy Solstice. From here on out, the days get longer, thank goodness! The one thing I didn't really factor in when we bought our house in Canada 11 years ago was just how much shorter the days were in the winter. Combine that with the typical west coast weather (wet, foggy, and/or gray), and you have a recipe for S.A.D.

A glass of cranberry juice to take my pills with tonight.

It's my third cup of coffee. I am so filled with caffeine today, I think it may be one of the factors why I was having a headache. Too many stuff to finish, but hanging out in the forum for now (lounging in comfort zone for a time-out/relaxation talking about everything interesting that's non-work related. lol)

Here I am! A little ray of sunshine to brighten up your winter blues!

It's only warmed up to 28°, so I'm still wearing a shirt with sleeves... short sleeves, but that's 8" more than I generally wear, and now drinking an afternoon mug of unbranded Keemun tea to warm me up!

Yep, just closed my most favorite day of the year, the solstice, knowing that we will now start slowly marching towards more daylight. I really am a S.A.D. panda this time of year, that's one of the reasons I spent so much time skiing. Who knows? Maybe I'll get back on the boards yet.

Luke warm earl grey tea. <sigh>

I know the feeling, being north of you! If it weren't for my S.A.D. light, it would be worse, but it's still not great. Hang in there, it gets better from here on out. Just way too slowly.

A ray of sunshine. Yup. And honestly, I'd rather put up with this, than the heat and humidity you have.

But right now, "sunshine in a glass" as the old commercials used to say. A glass of fresh squeezed orange juice.

cromag · 12-22-2014, 07:43 PM

The last half of my third mug of tea.

CRussel · 12-22-2014, 08:04 PM

Finishing up the second steeping of my Anniversary Breakfast Blend tea. I'm nearly out here at home.

Not a good thing at all.

poohbear_nc · 12-22-2014, 09:02 PM

Hmmmm .... 2 business days this week to do 5 days of work

Hmmmm .... Co-worker doesn't show up - no answer to phone, text, etc.

Hmmmm .... I get to do all her work & miss the company Xmas lunch

Hmmmm .... Co-worker breezes in at 1:00 & announces "I SO overslept"

Hmmmm .... Co-worker smiles at boss & giggles

Hmmmm .... Co-worker gets no reprimand, but is warmly welcomed.

What's in MY glass you ask? ..... You get ONE guess ...
