^I hope you both got to the concert in plenty of time.

I have cleaned up two lots of cat sick, brought in and folded a load of washing, hung some more out and caught up with family goings on via Facebook.

I was lucky.  I only had one mess of cat sick.  But it was on my bed and pillow.  So I slept in the small room.

Coffee and toast. Bath.

The fire alarm in my bedroom has been going off and on and off and on and off................... since early last night.  I've never changed the batteries in a fire alarm before.  Wish me luck and no broken bones.

At the beginning I was convinced that the only reason my daughter was going with me was to show off her awesome Steam Punk outfit that she worked for months to get together. Some improvements since her homecoming dance were in question, but not to me. She fucking looked great! 18fucking80 rocking out and set for a steam trip!!
She even found herself a leather purse that resembled a hard sided scientist's kit. It was too new looking though. It looked like she just bought it, which she had. I had helped her to age it with stains and sandpaper and using my wood burning apparatus. (one of the many talents I learned doing photography)

Toward the end I was convinced that she was almost (almost) as into this concert as I was.

It was an amazing night for so many reasons I can only touch on if I do a wall of text.

Fire alarms are handy when you forget something on the stove or in the oven. Beep beep beep - oh, that'll be the chicken.

I can reach ours to change the batteries without standing on my toes or straightening my arms. Good luck with your climbing.

The smoke (not fire - my bad) detector beeping stopped this morning.  I still bought some new batteries.  I may make the climb tomorrow. 

I never cook unless I'm in the kitchen and usually use the microwave.  The PR is watched fairly closely so no fires since 2014.

Bought The PR a sweatshirt and a sort of heavy house pair pants for Christmas presents. 

Gave blood.

Late last night I cut into strips and browned up a decent beef roast and began a beef/vegetable soup. Cold out - soup season!

A bit early for lunch here, but my plan is to use my "ear of corn"  cast iron bakeware to have cornbread ready with the soup once it is time.

Is it about a specific volcano or about volcanoes in general?

I went for a morning walk and then came home and had a nap. Took Kayleigh to the doctor, hardly any waiting this time. Came home. About to start sweeping then mopping.

It's about a well known Volcanologist in his field, Don Swanson.  I have a few books detailing their own experiences in the field!

Very cool. :)

All I have done is get up, take meds and had breakfast (Cornflakes).

Started a Kung-Fu class with Amber since she's concerned about going to the YMCA alone after "he who is not to be named" acted like an asshole last week.   Glad I did, I actually enjoy this class, the mental discipline and focus I really do need!

Weather was not pleasant.  Shopping was the plan. Everything is Christmas, though, so I headed to a record shop I had not been to in several years, down in Broad Ripple, kind of north side Indianapolis. Yeah, a bit of a drive, but across the street is a fine tobacco shop as well. I bought a new pipe.
BUT ...
Found the first Rusted Root album and I was hesitant to even give it a second thought. Already had a really nice copy of Plastic Ono Band, Double Fantasy in my hands and Disraeli Gears.
Honestly, here I go again. I did not know so many of these "newer" albums were even available on LP. It looked like it had never been played.
I bought all three.
