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

So good to see so many extra posts! I enjoyed online worship this morning, Carol. I had never heard of the children's book that was read as part of the Children's Message and overall sermon. The Gratitude Jar. Great family idea, too. Judique, praise extra to God, I am so happy for you! Snowysmom, extra hug and MRI if need be prayers indeed. Quiet afternoon here. Waiting for one last Amazon package of 🧦:grouphug:to all.
 
I have been doing way too much online shopping. Fed Ex and UPS are going to be coming and going all week, along with the post office. I did what little Christmas shopping I had to so I am done. I didn't have to leave the house to do it, lol. I got 3 Amazon packages today. Just ordered myself an eliptical machine. I won't get to go outside much in the winter, and I can exercise that way. Got a great deal on it, so I said 'why not'. I did walk down to Dollar General today, 1 mile each way. It was closed for a year and a half because a retaining wall collapsed and the owner wouldn't fix it. They sold it to someone else, who fixed it and remodeled the store. I didn't buy anything, just walked through all the rows. It was nice to get out in the sunshine and 60 degree weather and get some exercise. I skipped all cleaning today. I did get the garland up on the porch and put my Olaf wreath that I made up out there. I plan on making myself some dinner and relaxing. No more work today.

Have a nice evening.
 

There are no Dollar Generals out here. I hope yours offers some good deals
We have Dollar General, Dollar Tree and Family Dollar around here. Dollar Tree has raised it's price to $1.25 and offers some higher priced things up to $5 now. I buy my cards there and they are phasing out their 2 for $1 ones though $1 for a card is still a good deal.

Carol and I spent a good part of yesterday at the Chi Omega Christmas Market. There were 200+ vendors for us to browse through. I picked up jerky for Joe and James and some flavored straws to have with coffee for Chelsea. Also bought some homemade doggie biscuits for Mack and Ellie, James and Chelsea's dogs. They have a stocking too ya know..... 😄 Bought some Jalapeno and Green Chile Queso Blanco, Raspberry Habanero Jam and Mango Madness Jam that has, besides mangos, jalapenos and serrano and habanero peppers in it. The raspberry jam is smooth with a slight kick at the end whereas the mango hits you right off. Both will be good served over some cream cheese. Let's have a party!party:

This morning we went to early church. It felt so good to be in the Lord's house with everyone instead of watching online. Of course this meant that Lil Joe and Lou Lou weren't there. I'm hoping that once this evaluator is done we can all be in church together again.

Joe and I went out to breakfast at Dennys after church was over. We didn't quite get away fast enough to beat the crowd at our favorite breakfast spot. I was wanting biscuits and gravy and it was the only other place close that I could get it. It's been a while since we've eaten there and it will be a while before we go back to put it nicely.

I've done much of nothing today and it has flown by. Usually Sunday afternoons just drag for me. I changed the sheets on the bed and ran them and our towels through the washer and dryer. I need to make a grocery list but have been putting it off. Since I didn't make it to the grocery store last week I really should go tomorrow before it gets really crazy. But then I just might plop down in my chair and begin the current season of The Crown. I think that it is the last one.

So what do you think I will do?????????
 
:grouphug:Kirby of course in general and extra on your grandkids. I am so sorry they and all of you are still going through so much, so wrong :( We have 99 Cent Only Stores (Also $1+ and up), Dollar Trees ($1.25), and a couple Dollar Kings. There are (I think) Dollar Generals out there just nowhere near me. Dad and I pre pandemic enjoyed going to a couple local bargain places Q Bargain and Dollar K, both long gone. I am not sure if a far-out store called Bargain World is still there that was fun.

We have also been getting more packages of late and mail too thanks to dad's surprise!

Prayers for sweet dreams all-around and that we all sleep peacefully and easily.
 
Good morning. The colder weather is back. 26 now and only going to 40. I have salt therapy this afternoon so I am looking forward to some meditation time which is needed. I too have been doing way too much online shopping. But I should be almost done with Christmas shopping.

Have a good day.

38 here, going to 50. I haven't done enough Xmas shopping. Haven't been anywhere this weekend.
 
Good morning. 26 here, going to 47. Cold front, ick. I've been doing way too much online shopping too, they make it a little too easy. Middle of the night is when I tend to do it. Done Christmas shopping at any rate. I'm not going to any stores other than a short stop to the grocery store tomorrow. No Black Friday shopping for me.

Have a good day everyone

Good Monday Morning.🍂

Working from home today, still sick 🤧. Tried going to work on Saturday but I had to leave 3 1/2 hours into my shift. I just can't take this cough anymore. Went to the doctor again on Thursday and she said it's just a pesky cough from the sinus infection last month. I don't think a pesky cough is something that makes you have such bad coughing attacks that you vomit 🤮. I'm calling again this morning to request an inhaler. Way too many times over the weekend during one of the attacks I was gasping for air. I haven't left the house, my pajamas or the couch since Saturday.

Decided to cancel Thanksgiving 🦃. Found out on Thursday that Evan and Bailey were planning to go to her family also (which is 1 1/2 hours away) and Livia's family is having a lunch instead of dinner. No point in having a brunch at 11:00 at my house when they'll be eating again a couple of hours later. They were all at my house last year so I understand having to alternate. I told Mitchell that if his girlfriend's family doesn't do anything then we'll just go somewhere. I thought of just meeting for breakfast around 9:00 but that still might be too much rushing for Evan and Bailey with the baby.

But then I just might plop down in my chair and begin the current season of The Crown. I think that it is the last one.
I watched that Saturday afternoon. They only released 1/2 of the last season, so 4 episodes. The other 1/2 comes out in December. It was good. I do think it was a combination of being chased and the driver had been drinking that caused the crash. I don't know how they can verify things but if the Paris situation did go the way they portrayed it, then Dodi and his dad were also to blame, they should have just left her alone 🙁. I often wonder what she would have been like nowadays.

My friend's mom is on the Price is Right this morning 🤩. Her mom is having a watch party at her house and having it catered. She's going all out! If you watch it today, her name is Pam.

Off to make myself some hot tea. That's all I've been drinking besides water. Have a great day! :wave:

sad happy face.png - Wanted to like some part of your post and send hugs for others. Hope your cough is better soon, and that your friend's mom wins!
 
Kittykitty is in the carrier and soon we will leave to take him to the vet. Way too easy to get him in there.

Hopefully we will just have to do antibiotics but who knows?

I'm now committed to full cat care as I can't just abandon any animal.
 
🙏dear PollyannaMom that indeed your family is healthier. Extra prayers and a hug Footballmouse and also Bobbi for both of you and your families to feel much better as well!

Thinking extra this morning of our friend Frog. Been a long time. Many prayers she and her kiddos are at a happier place in life.

Wishing all of you a bright Monday with joy.
 
Thought I sent this last night.

We got our painting done. Still need to do the trim, but the house is done. It looks nice, but it’s not exactly the color I wanted. 😅 Close, but no cigar. DH said he’d do another coat if I want to change it. I might stop down to the paint store to see if I can match it a little better from the one I wanted. I thought it was, but :confused3 . It might behoove us to just move on to the trim, but if we do that, it won’t be as easy to change afterward (just cause some gets on the trim). We’ll see. I did a whole lot of leave blowing and my arm is quite sore. Had to take some motrin tonight. That looks easy, but it’s not! We still have to pick up our huge pile of leaves tomorrow. But I’d say it all looks a lot better than it did.

Have some more to do today outside.

Have a good Monday. 🐥
Hope everyone sick feels better.
Footballmouse did you try the mucinex and arm and hammer saline spray? Try it, if not. It’s the only thing that helped break up that really thick guck that causes that cough. (Recommended by an ENT who did a scope up my nose and down to the back of my throat and visualized it. It’s made up of cartilage and is as tough as nails to get out.)

I did switch back over to the Mucinex over the weekend. My head isn't stuffy so I don't think I need the spray any more. The dr's office called back right before lunch and apologized for fogetting to call the inhaler in last week (I thought we just discussed it). We discussed what annoying cough meant and she agreed my cough wasn't annoying, it is a deep cough. We're going to wait until after Thanksgiving and move on to X-rays if it isn't better.
