It's now light enough that I can report there is fog here at the house. Can see it wafting through the fields.

Greetings from NorCal. It's 42F and dark. My coffee is strong.

@tirebiter73 I am indeed lucky. She's started a baking business and I'm hoping one day she'll add that fruitcake so others can have the experience.

@Targas_Taargas Let's see how they turn out first. I'd hate to give you a failure recipe . . .

I am making croissants. Butter block and dough now in fridge until tomorrow morning.

@Bald_Guy_With_Bike That was absolutely my experience until my neighbor's fruitcake! I hope one day you experience delicious fruitcake like hers.

When I lived in San Francisco on a very steep hill, I'd just found a parking spot across the street from my apartment. My 2 yo son was with me. As I was getting him out, an elderly lady trudging up this steep hill stopped and asked me for a ride to her doctor's appt. Of course, I gave her a ride, but I was crying inside at the loss of that parking spot.

Some years ago I was driving along a city street and this 40 something lady who looked like someone's Greek mother came running to my car when I stopped at an intersection and just got in. She asked for a ride to the bus stop and so I gave her one. She was grateful. But after that I was more careful about locking the car doors.

I'm likely preaching to the choir, but here is a post with a very nice collection of research, etc. linked and summarized.

TL,DR: Get vaccinedated as much as you can, wear masks, and protect yourself and your family.

I used to be one of those people who mocked fruitcake because all I knew was the kind that should really be a doorstop. Then I tried my neighbor's fruitcake and my mind was blown. Her fruitcake is beyond amazing. It's light and soaked for days in rum and now I live for the holidays and her fruitcake.

Good morning. It's dark. I have coffee today and it's 41F. May everyone safely find the deals they want. Me, I'm not leaving the house.

@wildmaven I'm so terribly sorry for your loss. My deepest sympathies. I hope you have others to support you during this time.

I got some good writing/editing done this morning. Fixed a chapter and was pleased that it flows well to the next one. Calling it a writing win for the day.

I have reached an opinion of 1899 (Netflix).

I hate it. It's boring.

Greetings from NorCal where it is dark and 36F. I have tea and will be enjoying a quiet morning before people are up and about. Have a wonderful day!

Today, I reinvented myself. The old cjewel is no more. It's new cjewel all the way.

P.S. I'm not paying any of the other one's bills.
