Quarantine and chill and kindness chatty clubhouse: Jump in and join the conversation! All is welcome!

Kind of in-between weather here today. Some sunny bits, a few sprinkles, but not bad temp-wise.

I took the cats each out for a while, and I finally made it to the Barbie movie this afternoon. - Two thumbs up!

Soft tacos for dinner.

My dad was scheduled for surgery today but his numbers were still to high. He is on blood thinners so I understand what they are doing. They are almost there so hopefully tomorrow.
Fingers crossed! 🤞


@flyingdumbo127, hope the dental issue can be resolved quickly and painlessly!
 
Ongoing good thoughts and prayers for Mona, taz and family, Snowysmom, and everyone here!

So glad you’ll be all done with painting, Lynn! We have some to do, too.

Been busy. Hit a wall today and had to sleep for a while. Hence, up at 3:30.

Everyone is good, thankfully. DD has just five weeks left of school, and DS is making some career decisions and concurrently starting down another path while continuing on his current one. Sports-wise, he is in playoffs now and team is in first! He’ll be doing fall ball so that will be fun, too. Puppies are good.

Have had some interesting things happening at work, in a good way. Planning a little bit of fall travel.

Today I am going with DS to his neurology appt, post concussion. Can you believe it took this long to get an appt when he had his concussion back in the spring? This doctor is very good so we’ll see what she says.

I have the weekend off and I am looking forward to that. Hair cut, game, some errands, etc.

Hope everyone is hanging in. Enjoy your Friday! 🐥
 

Tazdev I hope your Dad can get the surgery done soon. Prayers and thoughts to all.

@flyindumbo127 I hope you can get your dental issues resolved.

@Pea-n-Me Sounds like you need to rest a bit when you can. Busy!

Good morning. It is rainy and dreary here. It is supposed to rain all day. I close on the condo today. Then I go to get the keys. I have cable coming on Monday to set up cable, internet, and wifi. Kenny works this weekend so nothing will get done at the condo except for some cleaning I will do. He is very kind to be doing so much for me. I do not like to be a burden but I cannot do some things myself. I am taking it one day at a time and not overdoing it. Right now I am very anxious and sad to be honest to be moving on yet again and Chris is not here. All the changes are tough and hitting me hard right now.

Jeff and the family are having fun at WDW. They will be back Sunday.

Off to work. Have a good day.
 
It's Friday!:sunny:

I have to work all weekend at my other job but I'm glad this is the end of the week at this job.:banana:

I picked Mia up yesterday from Bailey's work. She couldn't go to the sitter, Mia has hand, foot, mouth. Poor thing is miserable, hurt her to eat or take her bottle b/c of the sores in her mouth 😟. I didn't find all this out until I picked her up, if I'd know she was sick I would have made sure I had a new stuffie for her.

I need to get my house cleaned tonight and probably throw in a load of laundry. :laundy:

Jacob comes home from working in Kansas this weekend so he'll stop by and grab his cat, Piper, who's been staying at my house. I told her last night that she's been a good girl and she's allowed to come back to Grandma's house any time she wants.😏

Have a great day! :wave:

It's late, but I'm here. Darryl and his sister showed up at 9 and are busy painting the outside. He's got 4 out of 12 windows done so far, and she's doing the foundation. I hope they can get it finished in 2 days. We had a heck of a storm blow through around 5 am, and it brought the heat back. Going into the 90's today and tomorrow. I just found out that her son works for a tree company. She's going to have him come and see what he would charge to take down the biggest branches on the black walnut tree that are hanging over the roof and over the electric line. I don't want them breaking off and hitting anything one of these days. The tree is huge, it shades the entire side of the house. I told her it's going to depend on price. She said he'll be affordable and do it on his own time. Either he or Dave would take the wood.
I called Dave last night to tell him the new closet door came yesterday, so he's coming tomorrow to put it in. Then he is going to make some shelves for the computer room. This morning Don tells me he wants to have Dave and his brother put new siding on the house, in a light gray. I don't want light gray first of all, and I don't think the white siding needs to be replaced. We're going to have some discussion about that before I even ask Dave for a quote.
Nothing else new going on. Laundry is done, I washed the kitchen floor and rugs yesterday.

Prayers for all those who need them. @tazdev3225 (for your Dad) , @footballmouse (for Mia), @flyingdumbo127 (for the dentist),,and prayers for all of the members of our Quacker Family who we haven't heard from in a long time.

Have a great day

:grouphug:Lynn. After all you have recently been through remodel wise, once all is said and done, my vote would be to let well enough alone for a while! Revisit making any changes at a later time unless, of course, there is something both you and Don agree on now. Just want YOU to have some additional rest and peace, you know that!

:hug: I know you don't want to be a burden, but I'm also pretty sure Kenny doesn't see it that way. - If I had to guess, based on how we feel about DH's parents, he sees all the things you've done for him over the years and is happy to be able to pay you back just a tiny bit!

Awww, I love that!

Poor munchkin! :hug:
 
Thanks PollyannaMom. I know they don't see me as a burden but I feel like I don't want to ask for too much. I know when my Dad was alive I never saw him as a burden and I wanted to help as much as I could. Chris always told me the guys would take care of me and be there for me if he passed first. I told him the same thing. I thanked Kenny for all his help and he said he is happy to help and Jeff is the same way.

I do now officially own the condo. Now to get the keys, get copies made for the kids, and pick up my mailbox key at the post office.

I saw a quote with the reminder that, 'You are not a burden, rather, you are carrying a burden. ...A burden that is, just now, too heavy to carry alone, so people who love you are lending a hand.' :hug: (ETA: my words, not the exact quote)

All of the painting is done except the railings. It was just too windy to try to spray them. He's coming back on Monday to do those and touch up a couple of other little spots. Then it will be 100% done. I will be so glad to have all of that out of the way!
Its hot and sunny, but breezy. Temp is 91 and it feels like 97. No wonder I felt hot when I was outside checking for anything they missed. I found a couple of spots and she fixed them. They left at 4, and took an hour lunch, so it took them about 6 hours to do it all.

@Snowysmom --Congratulations on being a condo owner!

Off to find something for dinner, have a nice evening
 
@Snowysmom, congratulations on closing on the condo. I hope you have many happy years in it!

@lynxstch, enjoy all the improvements you have had done to your home!

I really enjoy doing puzzles, and Tom does come to help me at times. We began this when we knew we would be meeting our family when they were camping in Shenandoah, and we just finished.

It‘s a 500 piece puzzle and if anyone wants it, just message me with your information!
