I did 24 things today and felt great about it until now...

My wife and boys are asleep. Im watching Moonshiners and listening to Arthur Brown.


If'n your boys weren't asleep, I'd have to wonder what was going on with that! Not so much with the wife...

It was a bit cool here, too, today. To the point I had to put socks on. As a matter of fact, I have socks on again right now.


And did you say, "Flounder?"

Looks like you bugged out. I think I am going to too. Have to get some rest before the sun comes up.

Ha! You just brought a movie way up in the queue

Still up, still oddly sitting outside in the cold listening to music
 
Just take care of yourself Mike.
If anyone knows about 80 hour weeks it's me.
Sending you good vibes my friend!
Don't worry bud, this is going to be short lived! Hopefully dine, and iut of here before christmas.

It was -13 when I left my house yesterday... its a warm one today. Its already 15°!
 
Im praying for that also Amanda. If you're not sleeping, it's going to have that total mind and body effect
It really does. I'm normally a pretty happy person but lately with not sleeping well I have been over emotional and having horrible mood swings and just exhausted all the time.
 
Sorry for the bad picture, Jill, it wasn't an accident, there was a lot of traffic and I hadn't gotten home yet at that hour
It's Miami. Traffic always sucks.
 
Good morning, everyone! Must have had some crazy sleep last night. Slept almost an hour later than I normally do, haha.

Remember to keep the spirit of Christmas everywhere you go today! It is a time of joy and giving. We don't always have to give our time or material things to others. Instead, we can give compliments, a nice gesture, or simple acts of gratitude towards each other. Doing simple acts like this can change someone's day today.

 
Far be it from me to post commentary about someone who is a very active member on this thread BUT said individual posted a bunch of messages on the wrong thread last night. He tried saving face this morning but some of us (me) are not going to let him off so easily.

You know who you are! 😆
