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

My walking isn't. Happening that is. That is the problem. I am still fighting. Meantime my Dad said Antonia is fantastic! She will be able to come after our new floors are installed. She is planning on moving though :( It sounds like she has siblings who could possibly take over for her as our regular housekeeper. Meantime, an inspector is supposed to come out to look at our floors today to hopefully get the owner to pay for our new ones. Please pray for peace for my Dad. He's juggling so much right now. Plus, my car didn't start again. It has to be moved for street cleaning before 8am tomorrow. We are blessed to have a wonderful mechanic just a few blocks away who said to call him back later this afternoon. We are still moving forward :)

Mona Glad you have therapy again on Monday. Persistence paid off. I hope all goes well with the floor installation at home.

Good morning. It is a cold one at 30 with temps getting near 50 today. I am trying to get caught up at work so coming back after a week off won't be completely crazy, just somewhat crazy. I am still stressed about the flights. Yesterday I read an article about what to do if you absolutely need to get somewhere and I really need to get home at the end of the trip. I booked a second flight out of Phoenix, nonstop as they suggest. It is refundable so if I get out on the first flight I just need to cancel the second one. The second leaves Phoenix at 10:10 pm and gets into Boston at 4:45 am Sunday the 16th. Yikes! Jeff offered to pick me up if I have to take that one, he is so kind. I feel better knowing I have backup. My friend did the same thing. I hope to get out on the first flight as it gets me back to Boston at 8:40 pm Saturday the15th. I have a transport company picking me up. Now to finish packing. I am hoping that this ridiculousness that is going on will end very soon and everyone can get paid, get their food and housing, get needed medical care, and get this country moving again. The American people deserve better than this. I don't read anything on the controversial board any more as it is so mean spirited but I just had to put in a little vent about the current situation.

Have a good Friday.
 
I walked at the lake yesterday and saw this lovely Heron. I believe it is a blue heron. I have seen one there before, last year. It is supposed to be a sign of good luck, patience, healing, and to slow down and be present.

Big hug Snowysmom. Extra peace of mind is priceless. Please remember God is with you always my friend and in spirit all of us, your Quacker family, care and love you, too. Great picture. Thank you on therapy.

Early good morning wave to all. I'm going to try to get a little more sleep shortly. I pray my Dad slept well. He was so exhausted last night. Antonia is coming back this morning. Dad will visit me tomorrow. Two good things :)

Happy Friday to all. I will check back in later.
 
Good morning. We hit below freezing at 31 last night, and this afternoon it will be upper 60's. Cold front starts coming in Sunday, and Monday our high will be 39.

@Snowysmom I'm glad you took the precaution of booking a separate flight, just in case.

Mona, I'm glad that Antonia is helping get the apartment cleaned and ready for the carpet installation. More progress!


I was just getting ready to go shopping and do errands when Summer texted. She was on her way to pick me up in the rental car so we could go shopping together. (very nice car, 2025 Nissan Altima, cross between red and burgundy candy apple color). She couldn't call ahead of time because her phone was shut off again. So she overdrafts her bank account to get it turned back on, and then when I question the fee they charge, she says "It's only $15, no big deal"? So we did Martins and Aldi's, and then get to Walmart. She said she was going to drop me off and go and get her pills at CVS and do one more errand since she didn't need anything in the store. So I'm shopping and she texts me this "I stopped to get myself a sandwich but I forgot to get a drink. Can you get me a bottle of cold Dr Pepper? I got you an Arby's gyro." I'm more than confused. Her husband just got paid yesterday morning, and she had to pay the rent, and her phone. If she doesn't have money to pay her phone bill without going into overdraft, what is she doing buying fast food, not only for herself, but for me.?

Just as we pulled in the driveway the cable guy called and was here 15 minutes later. I didn't want him to replace the whole box after he showed me how flimsy looking the new ones are, and he didn't have any covers for the kind I have. So he made sure it was shut, and then put cable ties on each side. That sucker isn't coming off again unless they cut the cable ties off to get inside of it, lol

I watched *recorded* the Wicked special last night. I thought it was spectacular. I'm going to watch it again tonight. 2 weeks from today, I'll be at the theater to see it. I can't wait!

Have a good day

Seems everyone is backing up their flights. Hopefully your first will bring you back!

I haven't joined that board because I knew I would no longer enjoy reading in this space.
 
Good morning. I tried to sleep in a bit but was up at 4:45. I have a long day ahead of me so I hope to sleep on the plane. The same flight I am on today, went out only 40 minutes later than scheduled yesterday. I hope it works out for us today. Jeff is tracking my flights so he will know where I am. Of course Kenny can track me on his phone. I can also track him so it all works out! :rotfl2: And I can track my luggage. My mind is going a million miles a minute and I need to quiet it. I am heading to the airport very early and figure I can read while I wait. Plus my friend and I will chat and can do that for hours. I am a bit anxious about meeting her long time friend but that is the introvert in me. I packed as light as I could. I even took out a pair of yoga pants this morning that I figured I did not really need. I am done now. What I have I have and what I don't I can do without or buy there. I am not going to the wilderness. I just want to be able to get back next Saturday. I really want to go wedding dress shopping with Kate next Sunday as I have never done that before having sons. Crazy I know but I am looking forward to it and meeting her mother.

Today is Chris' birthday. Breakfast is a small cupcake to remember his birthday. Plus some greek yogurt and an apple later. Can't be totally crazy.

I may check in while away as I get up early and will have my ipad. Have a good week.

Have a WONDERFUL time! I hope you are enjoying yourself so much and having such a good time that you don’t even think to pick up your iPad 🙂.
Good luck w/ your flights as well. I’ve only been to Arizona once, but it was beautiful and a completely different geography than what I was used to here on the East Coast and I’d like to go back again sometime.
 
Have a wonderful trip dear Snowysmom. ITA with dear Easyas, you will have a wonderful time. God willing, perhaps the two of you can one day visit Arizona together. A Quacker trip🐣

Happy Saturday to all. It will be an extra blessing to see my Dad at lunchtime because he hasn't visited since Tuesday. I will post more later :)
 
@Snowysmom Have a safe flight and a good trip!

Good morning. Going to be sunny and 66 today, we only got to 62 yesterday and it started raining just at dinnertime and poured for hours.

Dave came and got the mowers taken care of for me, and measured for the steps. He's going to try to get to those one afternoon this week.

Cleaning is on my agenda this morning and this afternoon my friend is calling and we're going to start planning the next vacation, destination yet to be decided.

Have a good day everyone.
