In the Service of Her Majesty The Queen

One Thanksgiving, all I had was a can of Turkey Noodle soup. That was it. But it was turkey, right?

 

Holy smokes. I didn't know Gordon Ramsay played ToEE. Love your Hell's Kitchen shows.

 

I hope you had a good day and that the night is going well.

It looks like the moon will be full on my birthday. So that
ought to be interesting...you'd think.

The weather forecast is one degree above freezing tonight.
I bought 2 space heaters. I'm not even going to try to call
the H/A people until Monday. Both heaters are in the bath-
rooms where the most exposed pipes are...just in case it
gets colder than expected.

I will be curious to see my electric bill. I think I am not
going to be happy. The heaters haven't shut off since I
turned them on. And they are on very low.

Ah well. I know how to keep myself warm. Thick toasty
socks, my sweats (lovely things) and a quilted vest. I
even have thin cotton gloves if my hands get too cold,
and...wool army gloves. I didn't live in snow country for
nothing, and some things I just couldn't throw away when
I came to hot, humid Florida.

And I have enough blankets to keep several people warm.


To all who will sleep tonight on this side of the earth,

The Nightly Mission:

Sleep warm and safe
throughout the night.

Wake up tomorrow
in the light.

I ask the Lady to smile
on you and on me too.

G'Night.

 

Uh...if you have several people, you don't need the blankets.

 

I did think of that...sadly lacking in the people counting, though.

My motto however, is 'Always be prepared.' Shades of the old Girl Scout days...or was that the Boy Scouts' motto? (Got to be the Boy Scouts, no?)

 

I believe it's "Be Prepared". I should know better, my son's an Eagle Scout. :no:

 

Figures.

In all honesty, I am not so prepared anyway.

Not unless they want to sleep outside in tents...and bring their own tents.
(No tent maker jokes, please.)

 

I hope you had a good day and and a great night.

It is warmer tonight, so my electric bill gets a break.

I got an invite to go to the movies, and wouldn't you know it, there is only one that I want to see (out of how many?) and I am in the middle of reading the book, so I don't want to see it just yet. So I took a rain check.

I thought the really good movies started coming out on Thanksgiving, but if they are, they missed this area. Maybe the movie makers got scared off by New Moon.


To all who sleep tonight on this side of the soon to be bright earth,

The Nightly Mission:

Ahhh, the oncoming full moon's
energy is already at work. Put
some of that energy into your
meditation before you go to
bed and use it to bestow a
state of grace.

Sleep in the light and wake
up tomorrow smiling.

May the Lady smile on
you and on me too.

G'Night.

 

"New Moon"?

 

The teenage vampire flick from the Twilight series.

 

I was asking IF the movie she was referring to was "New Moon"?

I actually do have (WAY too many) chicks in my life, so I am somewhat aware of the "good" vampire genre. :roll:

 

Ahh. I was temporarily "literal-minded" when I posted.

My chick (Gods she'll hate that one :evilgrin isn't a fan of that particular story line, but is a big fan of the Buffy series and other vampire movies, in general.

In fact the original "Dracula" holds quite a special place in our history. *nudge, nudge*

 

I hope you had a good day and the night is even better,

The full moon is coming up soon, and I am already feeling it.

I think it was warmer today, too. I didn't have to turn on
the heater until just a few minutes ago. I am not bothering
with the heater in the other bathroom unless it gets down
to freezing again. Which it will, eventually.

I had some hope for the next couple of days, that they would
be brighter than the last several, but I think that was only
wishful thinking on my part.

Back to asking the Lady to smile on me and grant her blessing.
That seems to work, if only temporarily.


To all who will sleep tonight on this side of the brightening earth,

The Nightly Mission:

Sleep warm and safe tonight
and wake up tomorrow in the light.

May the Lady smile on
you and me, too.

G'Night.

 

Actually, I like "Buffy, the Vampire Slayer". Most of the vampires are self-important, stupid, animalistic predators, just like the turds we deal with on patrol.

OTOH, I also like Saberhagen's books written from Dracula's viewpoint.

 

Oh, Great. That means I'll have to go on a diet again, later. :evilgrin:
