Husband. He’s sleeping though. Frank will be annoyed as he’s curled up in the bend of his knees.

eta Now I’m going to have to go down the driveway for the morning newspaper.

mouse pad

My set of faber castell pencil crayons... grrrrrrrrrrrr

My "screaming goat" figure (press the bottom and it screams as long as it's held) -- bought during the dreadful era of TFG & Covid arrival to give expression to my personal feelings while preventing me from making the air blue with profanities (my mother rolling in her grave haunts me). Cathartic! Used frequently on a daily basis over the past four years, altho things are a bit calmer nowadays. Just a smidgen....... or not. depending....

LOL Roxanna!

Pen! I'll spend half the day looking for it!

Jasdip -- truth! Definitely NOT 'fake news". =)

Cat treats

An assortment of semi mutilated dog toys (dog is to my left, stretched out on sofa).

This will not go over well :-(

Pile of scrap paper.

A coconut bon-bon sitting on the note pad in front of the phone. There used to be two bon-bons. Candy at 10:15am in the morning.

Router.

Now I can't get any work from home done.

Oh well.

My bottle of water.

schoolhouse - hahahaha!

A slice of swiss cheese. (It's what I eat before going for a run)

Kiszka.

tj

Lol, tsug. Now I have an earworm and feel like polka-ing.

At least the question has been answered.

Alum magazine with some Ibuprofen on top.

The TV remote

Cell phone

A little pile of stuff pencil. scissors, a loupe.

Computer mouse, or true right? the cord to the monitor. I have the setup in the dining room so I can see all the lit decorations. Back to proofreading... wish he would steal my computer stuff, give me an excuse ☺️

Empty water bottle and some tic tacs. Hope he's happy.

Phone

ipad! Yikes.

Little framed cork board with push pins on the wall next to my desk. He's got all my little notes, appt cards, invitations, odd phone numbers that I want close at hand.

(Jas, I had expected to read that your adopted cat discovered a fondness for coffee and had lapped up your cup)

Tea, thank you card, and glasses. Bring back those glasses! I can't see to go get new glasses if I don't have glasses. Don't do this to me! (Separate "computer glasses" are on my face).

beer and sanity

glasses...I swear I spend an hour each day looking for them!

Giant box of Kleenex!

That grinch seems very good at "getting people's goat", roxanna!

Hope he/(she?) didn't take yours too far away ... dropped it on the porch, maybe?

I think s/he took some of my clutter, e.g. some of the dead milk cartons, a few of which I cut down one side of two and slide them together, then staple them to make handy receptacles to sort and store things, e.g. mail, perhaps leaving the ordinary stuff long side down and putting the important stuff standing on end, to facilitate getting dealt with expeditiously.

ole joyful

P.S. How does one deal with square envelopes ... fold 'em over?

Glass of water, glasses and the TV remote (don’t tell my DH!).

roxl thought the screaming goats were from the latest thor movie ...

ps. a kishka dog for rox

My glass of Chardonnay and small plate with Triscuits and blue cheese.

My calendar and pen. Yes, i use a paper calendar!

ded, I gave up and bought myself a brand new Filofax! I miss paper planners and I am done pretending I don't ;-)

I can't survive without pens and paper! I love, love writing things down. Recipes, to-do lists, shopping lists, menus, my calendar etc etc. I could never go paper-free. I also have binders :-)

Jasdip, on the left side of my computer is a stack of bright orange notebooks and file folders, topped by my brand new green Filofax. Behind my computer, perched on a small stack of books is a metal pencil box with fountain pens and gel pens and pencils ... Too bad the Grinch didn't steal from the other side and gift those to you. Signed, a fellow member of the Paper Club.

Tee Hee. To those of you with paper calendars, what about address books. I got an apologetic email from a niece yesterday asking for a residential address she's asked me for before. She said she'd searched her emails knowing I've given it to her last year, couldn't find it.

I told her she'd approached the right dinosaur. Those of us who are oldies have alphabetical paper address books with hundreds of cross outs and additions over the years. She promised to try to improve her 'spreadsheet'. Bet she asks again next year when doing her Christmas photo cards.

If you're running a bit behind ... does the paper wait?

I'm needing paper, too. I've been on a 6 pill regimen, of which I take 10 daily, for several years.

Following a colonoscopy, including endoscopy(?) - where they run investigating equipment down your throat so they can examine the top end of your gastrointestinal tract and they found some growths in my tummy that have a slim chance of developing cancerous, I have 22 more pills of four kinds to be taken in rotation at 6 hour intervals to add to that plan. Plus one requires no dairy-related food intake for two hours before and after those four occasions, 16 hours, so can take dairy stuff for only 8 scattered hours of the 24.

Rats!.

ole joyfuelled ... plus fuelling by pills and occasional food.

(It's been some time since I wrote a 16-letter word, I think).

Kleenex and hand

Tums

A plate with crumbs from a simple recipe i tried Yum!

My nightstand, good riddance. He can come back for the other one. Gives me a good excuse to redecorate my entire bedroom. Can't just get new nightstands without a new bed, and dresser, and rug, and lamps, and chair, and drapes, and artwork, mirror, need I go on?

my calendar/date book. Can't do anything without it. Have not converted to Iphone calendar. I am the only one pulling out my paper calendar when making plans with others.

He stole my reading glasses, then after I looked and looked, he put them right back

where I put them in the first place. (he is always doing this to me!!!!!!)

My Scrabble board all set up. I play against myself instead of online I use a real board and real pieces. I guess I would have to get my travel Scrabble board out..

Glass of Ginger Ale

No fair, Lone Jack. If your beer is missing, look to Sneaky Snake, not the Grinch.

Grinch did steal my Christmas wreath though -- made sure I was too late to find one.

Wastebasket. I hope he empties it because it is almost full.
