Having some chili in a bread bowl, and a nice Belgian ale. Wanna hang out?
Anybody?
Had a 'blah' day in clinic today. Nothing either bad or good. Just a day. Some company might be nice...
to all my Lounge peeps!

Hey, I'll hang out for a bit!
My dinner's still cooking, all of it, in the oven. I love it when I can do that.
All I have to do is set the table!
I've had a busy day with yet another doctor...my thyroid is messed up, and he doesn't know what's wrong. So I got some blood drawn, and next week I'll have a thyroid ultrasound, and an uptake and scan the next day!
He's trying to expedite things so we can figure it out before I'm gone on vacation.
That can't be any fun. And I don't envy your doctor his task. The thyroid gland can be tricky, and juggling all of the hormones involved is complex. I'm happy when it's a simple case of hypothyroidism. Give them some levothyroxine, and have them come for a visit every 12 weeks or so.
Where are you going for vacation?
It's not every day, or all day...
I do have time to be here with all you cool folks...
We're going to ITALY! Rome and Tuscany!
First time there, and I'm really looking forward to it!
Dinner's long done here in IL so I'm sipping the last of my chardonnay and listening to the crickets and frogs on the porch. There are still a couple of riders in the arenas so I can hear "good boy!" and the whoof whoof of a cantering horse in the far background.
My husband installed Christmas icicle lights at ceiling height all around the porch so the glow is soft and all of the barn cats have been tempted inside to snuggle on the various chairs and daybed. Its a quiet and peaceful night here on the farm. No emergencies. My wild daughter is sober, home, and up in her room doing homework so sweet relief tonight (we take this one day at a time... 
).
Peace Aristus!
Sounds like you're enjoying some of your own much-needed peace.
Here's to you and your family!
That was beautiful...

Chili in a bread bowl, with beer (ale) sounds good. Happy sundown time to you.
...unless you want to, of course...
