Where Have All The Hangers Gone, Long Time Passing? a Random and Happy Tuesday Post

***********************************







It's time once again for a random and happy Tuesday, linking up with Stacy's Random Thoughts at Stacy Uncorked and Sandee at Comedy Plus 


Carl has a cold.  As always, when he has a cold, he must stay home to be plied with juice and extra vitamins and take lots of naps.


Meanwhile, i figured out one reason why he doesn't have enough hangers in the closet.




When he puts extra clothes in the car as spares, he leaves the items on the hangers.


He can also hear very well.  My spraying of all his clothes with stain remover apparently was too loud and was keeping him from drifting off to dreamland.


There's also the matter of his teeth.  He has to brush them, and often.  When he's home sick, his mouth feels icky and he brushes about once an hour.  This entails the full gamut of mouth rinse, then floss, then brush, then mouthwash, then wiping his mouth on his shirt, thus starting the laundry cycle over.


Job security, for certain.


The Big Boss called Sweetie to come over for coffee, biscuits, and a birthday gift.  Among other things, he received this:




Sweetie and Brother-in-Law do enjoy their glass of wine with dinner each night, as per doctor's orders.


 How about a bit of something to help when your day goes haywire.





















Have a blessed and beautiful Tuesday, everyone!

  3. Carl is a never ending source of work and tales. Thank you
    the "Exaltation of the Shellfish -- Pontevedra, Spain (can confirm they celebrate this each year, cannot find confirmation on this specific date)" made me curious, and I became wiser. It's a festival lasting for 10 days in the firs half of October. The dates this year were supposed to be 1-12, but it was cancelled due to Covid.
    Thank you for the never ending informations and fun stemming from your lists :)
