Today my husband comes home from a three week stay at the hospital. I plan to video our dog greeting him. Fritzy looks for him all the time.

He's not out of the woods, but gets a short reprieve for the holiday weekend. Please pray for us.

He has acute myeloid leukemia, and we’re going to enjoy each day as it arrives. Not a good type to have. I have a lot of help from my church family, my family, and friends and neighbors. I’m deeply grateful for each moment and kind word and action. My goal is to keep him home.

In spite of 10 years of constant sabotaging by our ex-spouses, we had 6 of or 7 total kids and some significant others at our new house this weekend to celebrate Thanksgiving. Patience is a virtue. Oh and a grandchild is on the way. ☺️

Those guys helping the Elk are the core of America's "basket of deplorables". That is what the coastal types will never, ever understand.

Those are what you call elks? No wonder I've been confused. Elk sounds almost like "älg" in Swedish, but that's moose in English. The poor animals in the ice water I'd call hjort/-ar (deer). Thing is, we use hjort for all types of deer except rådjur - roe deer. Hence confusion.

Great save, the animals seemed to get the idea too. Guy in mauve shirt, I guess he was excerting himself so much and kiting on adrenaline, he never noticed it was winter.

I don't know if it's positive in the grand scheme of things but we've been graced with "second Autumn" this year. Last week it was -11C (12F) outdoors most of the time, humid and windy so everything got a slick ice-cover. Between Saturday and Sunday it went from -11C to +10 (50F) overnight. "Ah ain't for complainin' none" as the vernacular of my neighbour would translate.

Loved the elk rescue and the doggie reunion. The dog couldn't believe his eyes.

Also, don't know if you subscribe to the Big Rocks in The Sky screwing with life on earth, but Mercury just went retrograde, which wreaks havoc on communication of all kinds for 3-4 weeks. For me, it started a week ago, as I struggled to get online in a place I would have expected easy access. This too, shall pass, but it's not unusual to be a bumpy ride till things straighten out again.

I can relate! My first car as a high schooler was a Buick 'Special' and it had to be pushed retrograde a fair amount. Never messed with my computer though. Of course, that was a few decades before they were common…

When I saw the title Malfunction Monday, I thought I'm sending telepathic thoughts. My beloved landline phone stopped working. It's the number I use for most everything. The providers can get to me 12/2. Argh. Then my water heater for the kitchen and main bathroom stopped working. I have to get a new one. Fortunately, another bathroom is on a separate heater. I can shower Yay. But I can't use my dishwasher. I have to heat a big pot of water on the stove and dip in. Yuck.

I'm cooking something for a Thanksgiving potluck. double yuck.

I can relate to the phone. My landline gacked last week. The dial tone sounds like a little kid doing an imitation of a machine gun. 😑 I called them today and the problem is on my end. I'm supposed to fix it myself. What is wrong with it I don't know and I don't have any alternate pieces to try and use. $#!@%&*^# Expletives deleted.

I've had all kinds of crazy things happen the last couple of days! I wondered if there was a black cloud over me that I couldn't see! Dishwasher - phone - car - computer - even the cats are acting strange! And now TG approaches! Wonder if the turkey will explode!! I have 11 family members coming! Yikes!

Oh, man, 11 family members. I'll be with "friends," some of whom are reasonable, but all of whom are vaxed to the hilt. And I'm not. After I'm with them I have to come home and detox.

I'm a big fan of Weird Al Yankovic! Not sure I ever saw that one though. Thanks. I love all kinds of parody songs. Remy has quite a few of his own, over 100! Here's my favorite from him. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enTEvon9pbw

And his play list:

The rest of the vids today were awesome! Can always use a good laugh on Mondays!

Besides the heat registers, I have them piled up around my "always on" coffee pot! 😁👍I keep the water bowls in the sink, due to a few who like to play in them. Got tired of mopping the floor several times a day 😩

If only I had that option....but the wiener dogs wouldn't be able to get up there so I must contend with kitty feet in the middle of the bowl 2-3 times a day. Sigh.

OMG, Weird Al's song is so rite on! I was literally (fo realz) in TEARS lol'ing!

He's come a long way in his career, it appears. I was only vaguely aware of him when he first began and I was never attracted enough to follow his antics. This one is SAVED in YT now and will be shared widely. Thanks, SimCom. Coffee coming right up.
