@Bianca and Bernard How are you doing?
I was the laundry and cleaning queen this morning. Multiple loads and some hand washing of items. (Stopped throwing bras in the wash as they were getting ruined.) We have a lot of dog hair around once again, but not complaining. It just takes some extra effort to deal with. Cleaned two bathrooms and the kitchen. Was going to run to the supermarket but I think I’ll save that till tomorrow.
I have to make some Caprese salad we have ingredients on hand and I don’t want them to go to waste. DH and I went to Longhorn last night, have gift cards on hand for there always. Have to figure out some meals for the weekend. Salad, for sure, as we have lots of lettuce in the garden. Maybe hamburgers, or DD makes a great turkey burger. We’ll see.
A lot of you used the Wow emoji for my post above about the ink. I was shocked too. I started to throw out the sales slip today, then figured I’d take a picture to show you. Sorry it’s crinkled.
Ink $45.99 plus MA sales tax @6.25% = $48.87 each! (When not too long ago they were $30-something!
)

Wishing everyone a nice upcoming holiday weekend!
I've been better. I've been sick the last week, like literally sick. I've chugged 2 bottles of Mucinex so far; it's the only thing that is touching this. I have tested negative at home 4 times (2 different brands of tests) and once at Walgreens, so it's definitely a cold. Started as a sinus infection, morphed into a throat/upper chest congestion. Today is the first day in a week that I've felt remotely like doing anything.
Still coughing some, and I've gone through 4 boxes of tissues in 4 days. I still went out and mowed the front and back yards, and most of the way back, except where it angles too much for me to wrestle the mower up; cleaned the whole house, top to bottom; and I've only skipped making dinner once this week. (pizza) Oiy, the mowing about killed me. DH couldn't do it, since he had to work extra all week, and DS was with him at work every day.
I haven't shared it with DH or DS (who is back home now). he's starting a course at the local college to get a drafting certificate. He decided that earning $20 an hour, in the a/c and not having to deal with customers is a great option at 18). He can get the cert in less than 9 months (it's a 9 mo course, but self paced, so he could probably get it in done in 3-4 months if he put his nose on it), and we told him we'd cover his credit card bill and his needs for that time, plus help him buy a wardrobe for work (and he would be just riding with DH) OR he could take his time, but he would need to get a part time job if he's not doing school full time. Same plan we had in place in January, before DD#2 interfered and got him to move to Cali.
Mentally, still not feeling the US right now; seems it got a little worse today.
DD#2 turns 29 tomorrow; and next week, she goes in to get some tests done. TMI:::::::: She had a neg pap a few years ago; another last year in Oki; and one a few weeks ago. The Gyn said that it could be just cysts, or pre-cancerous cells or cancer; they won't know until they go in and do some scrapings. She has a...um...sounds like colonoscopy...uh....coloscopy? I cannot remember if that was it....next week. The gyn in Cali at Pendleton said that it should have been done in Oki last year; was not happy about it at all.
So, yeah, dealing with all that. Thanks for asking. I've been stopping in and reading, but I've been doing it on my phone, cause I've been too exhausted to sit at my desk, and I HATE trying to type on the Dis on my phone, so...
Re: printers. DH said next time we get a printer, we're getting one of the ecotank ones. No ink cartridges; just a bottle that loads the tank, so you only fill it enough to use, so it doesn't dry out. We don't print very often anymore, so this would work great for us.
Everyone and everything else seems to be going ok.
((huggles)) to all who need them.
@lynxstch I use Stove Top cornbread stuffing in turkey burgers. Makes them taste a little like Thanksgiving, haha.
Time to go chug some more Mucinex, and take a hot steam shower. Then I'll be off to bed. Have a good night, y'all.
. I'll check out the selection at Meijer on Monday when I stop there to get some dog food. 
Carol. I hope all went well with your appointments. Moving period is no fun, especially in the heat. How nice of you to bring them dinner later. Prayers Carter does well with his covid shot.
I'm truly thankful you do have it sounds like supportive colleagues and some weekend fun coming up as well.
to all.
Easyas!
dear B%B hundred-fold! How awful to be going through so much all that once 
I'm so very sorry. Thank you for trusting in us all to share and let us support you, too! We care and are here.
