Still sitting around in my jammies contemplating what, exactly, I need to do today. lol

Eating venison pho at work.

Vunessuh's avatar

I’m plotting with my dog on very secret stuff and then I’m going to take a shower.

@incendiary_dan omg, lurve for pho..

muppetish's avatar

Waiting for my dad to return from hospital. May wrap presents and read a little more to pass the time, but I think it is going to be a long day.

bob_'s avatar

@Vunessuh HD livestream or it never happened.

lucillelucillelucille's avatar

Wrapping a few Christmas presents to send off today:)

Dutchess_III's avatar

Screwing around in photobucket, which I hate. I hate photobucket! But I’m doing it for YOU guys for a question I just posted!

Dutchess_III's avatar

@Coloma Get dressed already!!!!

Coloma's avatar

@Dutchess_III

OMG! Burnout…lol

mrlaconic's avatar

Asking why I am limited to 140 characters, this isn’t twitter. People who use twitter are twits. This is exactly 140 characters with spaces!

Coloma's avatar

@mrlaconic

Near impossible for me to adhere to that limit, hell, I can’t say anything in less than triple that amount most of the time. Us wordy, non-linear types cannot be ‘type’ cast. lol

Jude's avatar

Oh, I’m lurking in the meta section, that’s for sure.

And, I am letting my hair dry naturally a bit before I blowdry and flat iron it.

diavolobella's avatar

I’m at work, but I don’t have any work to do at the moment.

kenmc's avatar

@mrlaconic I think that’s the point of this question.

Dutchess_III's avatar

Contemplating the meaning of life and death for a social site.

JilltheTooth's avatar

Really trying not to eat the cookies that are behind me, and worrying about my vet’s assistant who was very gracious and dismissive of the fact that my dog put a helluva scratch on her cheek. Well, she was poking her finger into his butt…

chyna's avatar

@JilltheTooth Don’t worry, maybe she can put enough makeup on to cover it for all the parties and pictures coming up.

MyNewtBoobs's avatar

Trying to find the Furminator because it’s grooming day for kitties! #ouch

Dutchess_III's avatar

@JilltheTooth ROFL!!! WhereEVER you go if Fluther peters out, I’m going with you, do you hear me??!!!

Kardamom's avatar

Listening to the Glee Xmas album and smelling toast from the kitchen. Thinking I need to go in there and get some toast.

JilltheTooth's avatar

@chyna : oh thanks. I hadn’t thought of that !

ucme's avatar

Just got in from the cinema with the kids. We went to see Megamind, good stuff. Chillin on here for a bit.

augustlan's avatar

Fielding questions, answerin’ PMs, holding hands.

—@muppetish Hope your dad’s ok!

Coloma's avatar

Took a shower, back in my bathrobe. lol

Leaving soon for a gift exchange with a friend, really, I am!

BoBo1946's avatar

I’ve had two tylenols, four advil, two pain pills, and two glasses of Bourbon and coke to kill the pain. Looks like I’m going to have two knee replacements to go with my two hip replacements.

chyna's avatar

@BoBo1946 Oh no! So sorry to hear that. I hope your pain goes away.

kenmc's avatar

@BoBo1946 Never drink with tylenol in your system. And don’t mix meds like that! Dangerous stuff.

harple's avatar

@BoBo1946 oh no, I’m sorry to hear that! :(

Coloma's avatar

@BoBo1946

Oh man…be careful…you might block out the pain permanently with that regime!
I’m sorry you are experiencing so much pain, truly. :-(

BoBo1946's avatar

I’m okay… My pain has been so bad…. don’t care! The thought of going through two more surgeries is not fun to think about. Got NO choice. Cannot live like this. Well, I’ll evenually get my attitude right. Just right now, a little down about it.

Coloma's avatar

@BoBo1946

Totally understandable…when our bodies fail us it is a challenge.
No comparison to your situation but I have been suffering for weeks again with allergy stuff….GAWD…I want a face transplant!

Just one day without a headache and lizard eyes….lol

tinyfaery's avatar

Fluthering and watching Good Hair. I really should eat.

Dutchess_III's avatar

I am contemplating vacuuming. (If you’re done with that bathrobe, @Coloma, can I borrow it for a while?)

Kardamom's avatar

I’m about to take some pictures of the damage caused by the water leak (from the dishwasher that failed). The water spread under the floor, went up the walls in the kitchen and over to the wood floor in the living room. And just in time for Xmas.

Luckily we’re going to my Uncle’s house for Xmas. It would have been a real disaster if everyone would have been coming here.

BoBo1946's avatar

@Coloma ditto my friend ! It gets to you after a while. Being strong all the time is impossible.

I’m now eating strawberry yogurt with cool whip…. feeling better! Loll

Kardamom's avatar

@BoBo1946 So sorry to hear about your joint pain and potential for more surgery. Can you ask your doctor if they have any pain specialists who can help you through this ordeal while you await surgery? Not sure if you’re in the U.S. or not, but Kaiser has a pain clinic as part of its whole insurance plan.

Mixing alcohol with pain meds can lead to liver failure pretty quickly. That’s definitely not something you want to mess around with or add to your other troubles.

Your doctor should be able to give you some kind of alternatives to help with the pain. Could be hypnosis, accupuncture, guided visualization, bio-feedback, marijuana or even some other kind of medication. You need to let him know that you are kind of at a point of desperation.

Stay with Fluther if you can so we can at least talk you through it, if nothing else.

BoBo1946's avatar

@Kardamom yeah, got’cha on the alcohol. My first drink in two months. I rarely drink, But, understood.

I’ve an appt. with him the 28th of this month. Will discuss this with him. Going to have the surgery asap. I’m going to get it over. Arthritis is the culprit.

Thank you my friend.

JilltheTooth's avatar

So…New Years dancing is out, huh? Damn. The pain thing is a bitch. I’ve had arthritis since I was 25, and it’s a bear. I’ve had good results from elastic knee braces (you know, those Ace guys) when it gets bad. The extra pressure and support really helps, sometimes.

BoBo1946's avatar

@JilltheTooth mine are arthritic spurs that press on the nerves…. wish the Ace would work my friend, but i’ve tried about everything know to man except accupuncture.

BoBo1946's avatar

oh, there is always next year to do the twist all night! It will pass fast.

MissAusten's avatar

Killing time before I have to pick up my daughter and a hundred pounds of cookies from Girl Scouts. Thinking I should have stopped at the liquor store while shopping today and not giving a flying fuck how many characters this is. :)

Coloma's avatar

@Dutchess_III

it’s all yours, and is it ever comfy!

I am dressed now and trying to get out of here but got stuck in the ‘enlightenment’ question.

Gotta go, gotta go, going, going, go…..........

Dutchess_III's avatar

LOL! Well, now that I have Colma’s bathrobe, vacuuming is out of the question. So is washing the dishes.

LuckyGuy's avatar

Um,... I just woke up from a nap on the living room couch. The wood burner is working full tilt and it’s so warm and toasty it just sucks the ambition right out of me. Gee, now that I’m up, what’s for supper? Let’s see… I have rice and there’s some aloo bhaji and aloo chole left over. Yum! It’s a plan!

Dutchess_III's avatar

Hey! I vacuumed! The shop vac is still out so I think I’ll give the plants the once over with it.

OpryLeigh's avatar

It’s 10.30pm here and this is the first chance today that I have been able to Fluther. I’m sat in bed and enjoying my time here before I switch off the light. I’m also drinking cold milk.

Dutchess_III's avatar

Where do you live @Leanne1986?

OpryLeigh's avatar

@Dutchess_III The south of England

Dutchess_III's avatar

What’s the weather like there? Cold and damp?

krisstopherr's avatar

Having a nose about here as I’ve just signed up. :)

Dutchess_III's avatar

Well hello @krisstopherr! Welcome to flutherland! We’ll all be your hosts. Make your self right at home!

Dutchess_III's avatar

(Want a Natty Lite? I have some in the fridge…)

deni's avatar

Eating homemade chips from a bar I ate at last night which are phenomenal. Listening to Christmas music and looking up pictures of Bernese Mountain dogs because I just became obsessed with them. I’m also about to open a can of whoopass on the vets office because they are 4 days late with my cats bloodwork.

JilltheTooth's avatar

Oooh! @deni ! I love Berners! If they weren’t so big (and therefore short-lived) I’d get me one of those. They are great dogs!

deni's avatar

@JilltheTooth They are so FUCKING cute. And furry. My neighbor a few houses down has one. It’s so funny. The dog is so furry and happy, and walks 2 feet, pees (nothing comes out) then seems so happy about it, scampers off, 2 more feet, pees, smiles, pees again. OMG I just sit and stare and laugh at it, very envious at the same time, lol.

Dutchess_III's avatar

Watching “The Coal Miner’s Daughter.” Again. Boy, it’s been a day, hasn’t it!

BarnacleBill's avatar

Making spaghetti sauce.

Kardamom's avatar

@Dutchess_III I love that movie! I’ve probably seen it 20 times.

augustlan's avatar

@BarnacleBill I made spaghetti tonight too! It was yummy.

Berserker's avatar

Chillin’ like a villain.

Anemone's avatar

I’m posting an answer on this crazy website!

Coloma's avatar

10:46 p.m. now…a zippy afternoon and evening, aaah….Baileys in coffee and a wee bit o’ the herb. Bliss out! ;-)

Paradox's avatar

I’ve just logged on to Fluther not too long ago after logging off from Sodahead and dealing with them people. I guess this is my way of “unwinding” after a long evening at work,

Dutchess_III's avatar

Wow…and ‘tis another day. This could go on forever, @rangerr!
Waking up. Trying to get the brain cells to start firing. It took me forever to come up with what TJBM was going to do next!

krisstopherr's avatar

Right now I’m playing about in Photoshop creating myself a blog theme, but I seem to have hit a creative block and the whole thing has now become more stressful than it should be!

J0E's avatar

I know you said besides answering/reading this, but that’s literally all I’m doing right now.

Dutchess_III's avatar

Reading JOE’s response and eating a bagel.

Coloma's avatar

UGH! Barely awake here, having coffee.
Was up til almost 1:30 doing stuff last night and woke at 7.

Today is going to be the calm before the next storm of baking and prep. tomorrow and, an early bedtime!

Dutchess_III's avatar

@Coloma In your bathrobe AGAIN??!!

Coloma's avatar

@Dutchess_III

Yes, and with the BEST bedhead hair EVER! lol

Went to bed with wet hair from the hot tub…mix with re-activated gel and viola….a morning do to beat all! Heh!

Dutchess_III's avatar

When my daughter was about 7 she got up in a really cranky mood…until she saw me and she burst out laughing! I hadn’t looked at my hair yet, but I had a perm and that morning she said I looked just like a dandelion!

Coloma's avatar

@Dutchess_III

LOL, a dandelion! haha

Yay..I forgot I have QUICHE! Happy morning to me! ;-)

WillWorkForChocolate's avatar

At this exact moment, I’m listening to a mix of Nirvana’s music and eating leftover pizza. And chocolate. My arteries are angry, but my tastebuds are on their knees, weeping with gratitude.

Dutchess_III's avatar

I eated a cupcake.
I’m getting ready to have a bunch of kids over after school because their 15 year old cousin is moving to Seattle tomorrow, and we all want to say good bye. : ( Very sad time.

Coloma's avatar

My ‘happy’ brownie made a nice little brunch snack and now, hot bath running, and am going to fully indulge in a ‘Calgon’ moment
Stormy, cold day, sooo, can light some candles in the dark and Zen out!

Then maybe bake a couple more apple/blackberry pies, a movie later…bliss out! ;-)

One day “on’, one day ‘off’....just the way I like it!

tinyfaery's avatar

I’m enjoying the small patches of sun today…now it’s gone.

Gonna start wrapping.

OpryLeigh's avatar

@Dutchess_III It’s icy here at the moment. The snow is at that horrible stage of slush and ice.

Michael_Huntington's avatar

Blasting music and not giving a fuck.

Dutchess_III's avatar

Does that mean you’re charging for it @Michael_Huntington?? :) )
I just got back from the hair dressers, and I am wondering why they always spend 20 minutes styling my hair at the end, when I tell them up front that I don’t spend more than 5 minutes messing with my hair in the mornings! So I always walk out of the looking like somebody I don’t know, and somebody I’ll never look like again!

BoBo1946's avatar

just listened to this awesome song by Darlene Love! “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)”

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQ7iyRJrFg8

MissAusten's avatar

I’m making caramel corn, about to make spaghetti and meatballs for dinner, then making gingerbread men with the kids, then baking some bread. I feel like I will never leave the kitchen and never finish washing dishes!

I’m also munching on the extra popcorn and thinking it would have been a good idea to eat lunch.

BoBo1946's avatar

if someone does not listen to Darlene… you missed a great one.

Coloma's avatar

I am enjoying the smell of my apple-blackberry pies cooling and my daughter and her boyfriend are coming over to do some yardwork for me. Life is good! haha

Dutchess_III's avatar

It’s DARK Colma! How are they going to do yardwork?? BTW…it’s dark. Do you know where your goose is?

Coloma's avatar

@Dutchess_III

Not dark for another hour..4:06 pm, I have flood lights too. lol

Dutchess_III's avatar

Work ‘em girl! LOL! Do you have a whip?? And can I borrow them when you’re done??

Coloma's avatar

@Dutchess_III

Darn right..put those young, nubile bodies to work. lol

Dutchess_III's avatar

Eggzactly! They can handle the pain!

HungryGuy's avatar

I just got out of work early, and got online for a minute before I drive for the next two hours to visit my parents for the Christmas weekend…

augustlan's avatar

Wishing all of you a Merry Christmas.

rangerr's avatar

Okay, I’m stressing out.
My cousin’s best friend’s little brother was stabbed last night.
On Christmas Eve. Because he’s Muslim.
By a group of fuckhead people who think they rule the world.

Merry Christmas? :l

OpryLeigh's avatar

Having some time to myself for the first time today.

JilltheTooth's avatar

Me, too. Like @Leanne1986 , I’m relishing the “by myself” moments. Had a lovely Christmas, now I’m back in my sweats enjoying hanging out with you fine folks.

Dutchess_III's avatar

@rangerr I am so, so sorry…how old is he? Is he OK now?
I’ve been running around all day getting ready for one last present exchange. I be tired!
