My radio is currently doing a thing on new tv series, and I'm curiously waiting if Heated Rivalry will get a mention. I have still not really joined the age of streaming exept for occasionally trying amazon prime since I'm paying for it anyway for the shipping costs, but have the impression if things there are to be had without an additional fee to be paid it is often for a reason so I never keep it up long. So even if it can be officially had here I am likely to continue to be out of the loop until it can be had on DVD. Unless this time really curiousity gets the better of me. ;-)
After the suprise Christmas message by wife of nephew two days later I got an invitation for the confirmation of youngest great nephew in March. So, my being pleased about being remembered is now rivaled by the cynical thought Oh look, present from auntie would be welcome. Which is unfair, I'd have been hurt even more hearing this took place without anyone thinking to invite me. But now I'll have to figure out what is appropriate to give as recently unearthed and dusted off great-auntie.
I continue to be frustrated and upset about all the mail I sent having disappeared. I've put away the lovely cards I got today into the two boxes I am sorting all the private mail I get in, and I thought about a coffee break talk at work decades ago on the subject of storing letters. The consensus of the older colleagues then was that at some point it just gets unmanageable, the realistic thing to do was to save one representative letter of every person and just bin all else. I considered this then, but did not have the heart to do it and decided to carry on with my boxes a while longer. And nowadays it is only a few times per year that something gets added, and I am way more likely to drown in all the yarn and media I keep buying than in private mail correspondence, and it's still only two boxes.
I also took down the Christmas decoration yesterday and exchanged for some general winter stuff. Every time the decoration season changes I am astonished how much time that takes me. The solution would of course be to just not always put up that much. ;-) But I also quite enjoy it, both the having it up and at least in the beginning the process.
Apparently no Heated Rivalry mention, unless it was while I had turned down the volume when a sketch I hate came on and forgot for a while. However, they say additionally to the snow there shall be a storm tomorrow. Guess which day of this week I have to go outside because I have a hairdresser appointment. I got a bit of a scare this morning when my cell phone dinged while I was right in the middle of exercising along with Jane Fonda, a time of day where people don't usually message me. I did not want to interrupt to run for the cell phone, but I know an aunt is not doing well at the moment and we are all very worried about sick colleague, and with the anniversary of my Mom's death coming up on Sunday my first thought really was now someone died. It was however only the hairdresser reminding me to not forget the appointment tomorrow...
My bread is done baking and I would really like to get the big macrame project I started done before I have to get back to work next week, so I shall stop babbling now and start knotting. ;-) (and wait for my bread to cool down enough for being part of a late lunch ;-) )
