I'm sorry dear Dazed. I also pray you feel all betrer fast!

My luck has run out… tested positive for Covid this morning. This is my first bout and hoping it doesn’t get a lot worse.

Sorry to hear about this.

I have noticed more and more people wearing masks around here. I may have to pick some up.

 

[flyingdumbo127]

Extra hug and healthy prayers to all with love and sweet dreams.

Good morning. Chilly at 45 with temps heading to 60. I do like this weather. The sky is so blue. Yesterday I walked at the dog park in Kenny's town and saw a beautiful yellow and black butterfly. It was a nice change from the lake. Jeff is still sick with the cold. He said lots of people at the conference were hacking and coughing. I probably won't see him and the family this weekend. Kenny comes back from San Diego on the red eye tonight. Tomorrow his kids have soccer and he is a coach for Ethan so he will be a tired coach. I will most likely go watch them play soccer just to get out and around. Today I will walk, do some housework, make some broccoli and cheddar soup (low fat version), and may go to the gym this afternoon.

Have a good Saturday.

Prayers for Jeff to feel much better soon dear Snowysmom. Safe travels home for Kenny.

Happy early Saturday friends. Dad will be dropping off our ballots this morning. I'm so grateful to be done voting. I also know it id a blessing to be able to vote. I'm just not at all a politics fan.

I really like the new humidifier and believe it is making a positive difference. God willing, we are to get more distilled water through Instacart (Ralphs) this afternoon. We still need to try the second humidifier by our kitchen table and dad's bed. I don't remember whether I shared this already but dad has said the plastic funnel we got from Amazon makes getting water into the humidifier easier.

Have a great day dear friends. I will check back in later.

We thought we would be away for Election Day, but our plans have changed. We will still mail the ballots in, because we got them. I would prefer to vote in person. Oh well. I guess I will do it today. Bike ride to the post office. I need some exercise!

Good day, all!

Good morning. 51 overnight., going to be 63 today. I can live with that. I was so chilly yesterday it took until almost dinnertime for the house to warm up inside.

I cleaned the siding on the front porch yesterday and vacuumed the carpet out there after I vac'd the rest of the house. Looks so nice now. I also emptied out all the kitchen cabinets, threw out some stuff I haven't used in a year, and reorganized. No point in keeping stuff I'm not going to use anymore. I only use the same glasses over and over, same with dishes. I kept enough just in case I have someone over for dinner (rarely). I also did the drawers and put new liners in them, washed out everything in the utility trays and put it all back neatly.

Not sure what I'm going to get into today. Bed is already stripped, and other sheets are in the washer.
My cellular carrier is having it's customer appreciation days with an online sweepstakes thing, and I won a grill yesterday. Just what I need, another grill, lol. I'd rather have won a gift card, but I'll take whatever I can win.

Have a good day

Maybe a Swallowtail. I love butterflies!

I was supposed to make soup. But I've been busy for days trying to rearrange furniture away from my windows as there needs to be a clear path of at least 3 feet for the installation.

My house is full of furniture and some things are a bear to move such as cabinet full of odds and ends. I just spent 3 hours on it. Emptied completely, moved it, and then refilled what I'm keeping, but put stuff in disposable litter boxes so I can easily take it out again when it is time for it to go back in place. That's not why I ordered the disposable litter boxes but they worked really well as their size fit two across in the cabinet.

This is filled with mementos, mostly and some useful stuff. Except for the 4 packs of vacuum bags in the bottom (top three shelves are glass doored) none of which fit my vacuum. To the thrift store - begone!

Anyway, yesterday I sent 2 large bags of sheet sets there.

Good evening friendsPrayers all of you are enjoying a relaxing evening right now. Instacart through Ralphs did a great job of delivering our full order earlier including three bottles of distilled water for the humidifiers. We are very grateful indeed. Dad is resting still now. I just got up. He will watch some of the Dodger Game later.

Thank you all kindly for rehoming/donating items to those who can use/enjoy them. Letting go of unused/not needed stuff is so freeing for me. It brings me joy to know something will be used/needed again.

Hugs with love to all.

Good morning. The temp started at 33 and should be heading into the 50s today. I am going to Kenny's kids soccer games today. Yesterday I walked all over the place: The lake, the park in Kenny's town, and around the complex. I was feeling a bit antsy so needed to get out and move. I made the cheddar broccoli soup which will be for supper tonight and a couple more nights. It seems to have come out pretty well. I have been to Wegman's today and took a walk. Now I have some housework to do before heading to soccer.

Have a good Sunday.

Good sunny morning. Our high today will be 59 but without the winds from yesterday it already feels warmer. I gave up and turned the heat on late yesterday afternoon. I just couldn't warm up. I only heard it kick on once overnight, but the chill in the house is gone

I unboxed the 'cat house' I got on Chewy and found 2 missing pieces. Chewy is sending me another one as a replacement. How can they make money when they send stuff like that twice? All I wanted was the 2 pieces, which they could have gotten from the company that makes it. I'm going to attempt to start putting it together. Summer will have to help me when it's time to put the top part to the bottom, that's a 2 person job.

Putting some baby back ribs in the crockpot for dinner

Have a nice day

When I was feeding an outdoor Kitty I bought and 'Igloo' dog house for him. He seemed to like it for the winter but after that even though I cleaned it he no longer went into it. I also put cat beds in for him.

During the next winter I trapped him when he came for food and kept him inside overnight when it was too cold - in the teens.

 

[Pea-n-Me]

Just a quick hello! Wishing everyone a nice week ahead!

 

[flyingdumbo127]

Wishing each of dear you sweet dreams and a healthy and happy new week ahead with love.

 

[PollyannaMom]

I can't believe it's already Halloween week! I assembled my treat packets yesterday afternoon.

I'm up way too early this morning because the cats seem to have the whole time change thing mixed up -
A) it's next weekend, and
B) it's the other way!

 

[Snowysmom]

Lynn Thank you taking care of the outdoor cats. Judique too!

Pea Have a good week.

Good morning. Cold again this morning, 35. Temps going into the 50s today. We will have a warm up mid week. It was chilly watching the soccer game yesterday. Only one of Kenny's kids played as his soon to be ex did not bring Ethan to play his game and did not let Kenny know until the game was underway. He is the coach of the team too. He was not a happy camper. She did bring Owen for his game. Owen played well and got a goal too. I was glad to get back into a warm car that was sitting in the sun warming up for me. The wind was the worst. I did face time with Jeff's kids but they were so tired after a busy weekend that I did not really get a chance to talk with them alot. They are so busy over the next few weekends that I probably will only get face time with them. And I am away one of the weekends before Thanksgiving so can't see them. I really miss them when we go a long time between visits.

Off to work. Have a good day.

 

[flyingdumbo127]

Dear PollyannaMom, I'm not a time change fan in general. Prayers you get more sleep tonight.

Dear Snowysmom, it is one of my most heartfelt prayers that parents and caregivers love their children unconditionally and treat one other respectfully. Prayers for all.

Monday bright prayers with a hug to all too.

Good morning. We hit the freezing mark last night and had our first real frost. Going to warm up to 63. Supposed to get back to 80 by Wed and Thursday and then go back down. No rain in sight for at least a week.

I didn't feel like working on that cat house yesterday so I cleaned instead. I'll get to it today, I had some cold kitties waiting for breakfast this morning. Had to warm up the water for their gravity water feeder. No wonder they're spoiled and don't leave my yard, lol

Have a nice day

 

[lynxstch]

@PollyannaMom I know you can relate to this---

Good Monday Morning.

Back in the office today, still coughing. I hate all this coughing, been going on since Thursday. My doctor called in a cough medicine, I've been taking it since Friday so I thought I would have some relief by now. Sleeping is the worst.

Evan and Bailey took Mia to her aunt's neighborhood in Indiana Saturday night for trick or treating. She looked adorable in her Cinderella outfit. I was supposed to take her to the pumpkin patch Saturday morning but I felt horrible that day so I had to cancel. We were all supposed to meet for breakfast Sunday morning, had to cancel that too. It's supposed to rain here on Halloween so I'm glad she was able to go out over the weekend.

That's about it for me, just laid on the couch all weekend. Have a great day!
