WHeeee! I'm Flying!

I’m feeling curmudgeonly currently, so not many of these movies sound good to me. Even the descriptions of the movies I plan to watch with actors I like don’t wow me. Here are the movies I plan to check out (they’re listed in the order they’ll air):


“Merry Christmas, Ted Cooper!” with Kimberley Sustad and Robert Buckley (iZombie).
Premieres: Saturday, October 25
Summary: After a rough year, a weatherman returns to his hometown for Christmas, but things start to look up for him once he crosses paths with a former mentor and a former crush.
Reason for watching: Kimberley Sustad

This is where I got the list of movies from: Hallmark's 2025 Countdown to Christmas Schedule Is Finally Here (thepioneerwoman.com)

I hit Price Chopper and CVS (prescription for mom) while I was downtown and got in a walk around the park. I dropped a book off at the library on the way to mom's.

I did a load of laundry (washed, dried AND folded!), hand-washed dishes, went for several walks with Pip and the dogs, hard-boiled eggs and made egg salad, and scooped kitty litter. I grilled steak for Pip's supper.

I started A Murder in Door County.

Temps started out at 63.9(F) and reached 73.4. In the morning, there was some sun downtown, but the closer I got to back home, the cloudier it got. We weren’t supposed to have rain (15% means no rain in my book), so it was disappointing to not have sun. The sun did eventually come out, sometimes fully, sometimes just partially, and sometimes hidden completely by dark clouds. We did get a tiny bit of rain, just enough to have me running out of mom’s house to close my car windows. By the time I got out there it was over, but I wasn’t taking any chances. *g*


Mom Update:

Mom was doing better today. ( more back here )

I'm so disappointed by this casting news! ( spoiler )

I had a massage this morning. (I scheduled it on Saturday, after confirming that Sister S was taking mom to her dr. appt today. It’s been a while, and I wanted to do some shopping in Albany, so I took advantage of circumstances.) It was just okay. It was a new-to-me massage therapist and I did not love her technique. Instead of the long, slow strokes I’m used to, she used very fast ones. It felt like she was racing and I couldn’t relax.

I told her when she was doing my back that I often got knots around my shoulder blades. She said she was feeling for things like that as she did the massage. My unspoken thought was, how could you possibly feel anything moving that fast?!! (I did get a free ‘enhancement’ (aromatherapy lotion) for my birthday, even though it was last month, so that was nice.)

I hit five stores while I was in the area and only managed to get something from two of them. I wanted to get Christmas-present calendars from the calendar store, but the calendar store no longer stocks All The Calendars, just games and toys. *deep disappointment* I will have to wait until the first week of October when the kiosk goes up, or just order them online. I was looking forward to having that task finished. (I ended up ordering them online, so the task ~is finished.)

ETA: I forgot to mention that I got lunch at the Cheesecake Factory. I had a gift certificate and hadn't been there in a while. I got their Orange Chicken, which was really good. And some cheesecake to go, naturally. *g*

I folded last night’s load of laundry and got another load washed, dried and folded, hand-washed dishes, went for a couple of walks with Pip and the dogs, cut up chicken for the dogs' meals, scooped kitty litter, and showered.

I read some fanfic and more in Amelia Peabody.

Temps started out at 65.7(F) (we expected it to be 60, but the even warmer temp was a surprise) and reached 70.0. It did rain, but very intermittently.


Mom Update:

I didn’t see mom, but talked to her on the phone. She sounded okay. She’s going to try the radiation. It will be 5 days/week for 5 weeks, which is going to be a frelling pain in the ass, tbh. They told her it might make her nauseated, which didn’t make her happy. I hope she understands that she can opt out at any time.

I loved seeing Rex and the team, but I'm really upset and a bit depressed. ( spoilers )
