2021 has been a really tough year for ChicagoPD.
Extra long hours, Covid, rampant crime, and Joe hasn't had a day off in 23 days. When he had a few hours off, it was only here and there.
But, it's New Years Eve...and Vickie and Joe finally get some relaxed together-time!

Maybe a bit of dinner and some great dessert! Or maybe dessert first!

Joe: Hey, kid, I've missed this. You know I love you, right?
Vickie: I know, me too, between the store and your extra shifts...we've barely had energy to wave at each other! I'm so glad El closed up tonight, she said it slowed down after 5.

Vickie: (holds her breath)

Joe: Yes, Captain, give me fifteen minutes and pick me up downstairs.
Vickie: (Crap!)

Vickie: I love you too, just be careful out there! (Sigh) Happy New Year---it's almost 12.
Joe: (Kiss) Love ya, beautiful...just wait for me right here! Let's get married as soon as we can do it!
(And he is gone) Day 24.

Love your ceiling light, I'm always looking for recycling ideas! Poor Vickie... Maybe one day she'll have her guy:@)
ReplyDeleteworks pretty well, I don't leave it on for a very long time though! Thanks, Sandi
DeleteThe bedside lamp caught my attention. And I would hate to work any police department these days.
ReplyDeleteHi, Paul. Michaels had a fun little set-up last summer wwith tiny mini houses and all sorts of mini accessories...the table lamp was actually a floor lamp for their collection. I hope they do it again, some itmes were very current in style! Thanks for stopping by!, Sandi
