In case you are wondering (did I tell you this already? Might have), I got the wine. They had it.
Yippee. Funny story. Sister had offered to split it with me so I was only going to get 6 days. I am sure I told you this part. Didn’t I? So she gave me $35 and I went through the box to take her 6 out and then…
She bought another collection from World Market that was 24 days of wine for $100 (attorney, retired but still she has more moola than I do). So she told me to keep all of mine and the money too.
As you know I started posting At His Side (Fall Guys) on A03. I will not be posting November until all the entries for November are done here.
Wednesday is Try to Remember
I am working on the conclusion of Transfer Request so that will be done this week. Yay, I’ll have another finished.
Tuesday night’s movie is the latest Terminator.

Money and keeping the wine? score! LOL
That does look cool! I hope you and M enjoy the wines 🙂
Can’t wait to see how Transfer Request ends!
Have fun seeing Terminator. I haven’t seen it yet but will soon. Did see Zombieland 2 and liked that.

Not sure M is getting any of the wines! LOL
Anyway thanks! I’ll have to catch Zombieland 2 on Netflix or something, just don’t have the time for everything

Yay sister! Love that! Wine for advent is awesome.
I’m looking forward to the conclusion of Transfer Request. That story has all the gut punches. I dig it! Can’t wait to see how it ends.
And as always, gimme all the flashes. I love them so much!
Enjoy the movie!

No, you hadn’t given us a wine update at all, and especially any of the part about your sister.
I figured that meant 1. you got them and were too drunk to share 2. you didn’t get them and were too angry to share…3. Just too busy to share.
Glad it all worked out as you wished or even better.
When last we saw Jim, he was about to be murdered, so I’m looking mighty forward to seeing how Spock rips this bad guy’s arms out of his sockets and bashes him about his head with them until his mama can even feel it.
Or maybe that’s just what I’d do if I were a 3X stronger than humans spouse.
So my smoke detector started squeaking loudly at quick intervals about 2:30am. I don’t see a battery – it’s wired into the wall, so I have no idea how that can even happen. I’m waiting for the magic makers to come fix it. But I’m about ready to fix it myself with some wire cutters. Which, if I’d known it was going to take them so long to come deal with it, I would have in the first place.
24 degrees last night. If we’d only had precip we coulda woke up to snow. But instead, it’s very sunny. Cold and sunny. And squeaky.

I’m going senile!
Nah, I just thought I must have told ya, apparently not.
Spock is a pacifist or something 🙂
OMG that’s awful.
I have one of mine as wired and let me tell you, it’s a pain in the arse (with a nod to the Brits). It still requires batteries (no idea why) but also whenever the power goes off it squawks in protest. Also it is sensitive to mist. Yes, you heard that right (read it). And it’s by the bathroom. So whenever showers are taken it starts squawking over that too. And there is no way to disconnect the stupid thing because it is wired, like the one you have. Piece of…well you know.
Good luck!

Stupid phone is still a problem here so I will attempt to answer. On mine the batteries or in the middle of the outwardly facing disc thingy. You have to stand on a step stool and unscrew the thing. I forget right now if mine also has a screw that must be undone with a screwdriver. And there is a battery compartment. I think mine takes a 9-Volt but in any case when that battery starts to get low it starts chirping despite being wired. We had one in the spare bedroom that did that and it was way way up high. We couldn’t reach it. We ended up throwing things at it to get it to come off the wall and then we disabled it and replaced it with a fully battery operated one.

Thank you! I’ll climb back up and see if something else unscrews.
I like the “throw something at it” system. It might not stop that ear-splitting chirping, but at least I’d feel better.
I’d leave but I’d need a shower first.
But then they’d come while I’m in the shower and didn’t hear them.
And then it’d still be chirping who knows how long.
I got an email an hour ago that said it would be fixed…..an hour ago.
Nothing. You don’t even wanna know what my BP cuff said.
I think the read out was merely, “YOU’RE DEAD.”

I still couldn’t see it.
BUT I called them again and they said it would be this afternoon!
I explained for the hearing impaired or whatever.
AND SOMEHOW THEY TURNED OFF THE CHIRP FROM THE OFFICE!!!
I certainly didn’t know that was a possibility or I’d have asked for that in the first place.
I think I told you how I realized every day all those wrong notes and out of tune notes made my chest tighten all day, without my control?
That’s exactly what was happening here. And now, it’s just blissfully let go.
But I hate them. It would take ONE MINUTE for them to change.
But I’m way down the list of repairs they have today.

Yeah for wine! I desperately want a glass. So much shit happening simultaneously in my life! Trying to recuperate from my endoscopic gallbladder surgery. Percent with or without anti-nausea med was making my nauseous and dizzy. So I’m attempting just Tylenol and the Vulcan healing trance. Lol! Hurts to change positions at all – sit/stand/lie down … heel girl, roll over, bark… sorry residual Percocet!
Now my phone Keys are sticking as I type this. Sigh!! Forgive me if I’m over my usual typo quota! Lol!
Looking forward to seeing more updates and flashes from you. ❤️🖖💚

PS when I wrote Percent with or without anti-nausea med, it should have read Percocet, not Percent. I guess you somehow understood me though. Lol!
