Something About Nothing ... #12

Thanks for the hump day pics lynne! Needed a laugh too-nursing home I was at had a surprise state surveyor show up-oh happy joy joy-NOT! showed up for a complaint and ended up spending most of the day in kitchen-and of course got them on stuff we've been preaching to staff for ages. LARGE wine with my name on it tonight!
Still nice and toasty here-actually turned AC on last night so we could sleep. Will be back to heat by friday though-crazy time of year. Left babies outside in their pen all day while at work-all still alive and feisty.
DD asked yesterday if she could have friend over to help with her Science Olympiad project (state is in 2 weeks)-and its a boy. Son whispered to me when I saw him "P has a BOY over" LOL! They are building a small model plane, with rubber band to wind propeller to fly-I seriously used to walk to corner drugstore in downtown Milwaukee as a kid (when visiting my city cousins) to buy kits that did exactly what they are building from scratch-for ~$0.50.
Dinner from crockpot-so easy. At some point when I got home Diva chicken snuck in-wasn't coming to get extra noodles I tossed down to them. Turns out she was in for nap in downstairs...
Puppy didn't work out-already found a home. Oh well-when it is right our next doggy will find us.
YAY!! Hope they go fast for you!! and everything will come together.


LOL I am same way-I just want to know if I am still on track to hit goals for retirement!
Oh YUM!

Lots of pictures I hope-should dig out the trip pics (back on film-remember that?? LOL) from honeymoon and see if can recreate a couple...maybe not-26 years later may not be so pretty

Glad it ended up working out!

Congrats to her !!!!

OMG that is oldest DD fave combo. She also likes Brie anyway she can get it! Nice on the jacket find.


oh no-you just can't get a break!! Hope you recover soon!


Yeah count me in the "Not graceful swooper" club and also with the bike shorts!

Oh yea it is to Stingray city and another coral reef. Going with Moby Dick's tours this time, at least I hope so-sent in the reservation request, haven't heard back yet.

Very cool!



Nope not yet! You will have to report back! DH still wants to do a mouse cruise-so likely looking at PC and a short one. But erg-for the price of a 4 day on DCL I can literally get a week just about anywhere else, with better cabin.

DH out of town tonight-means I might be able to sleep tonight Neither one of us slept well last night, and not sure why. Apparently we both were awake trying very hard to not move much and disturb the other one's "sleep".

Tomorrow is Friday eve!

lol....we`ve had nights like that too......both think the other is asleep and don't want to disturb each other.....yep, brie works with almost anything!!! love it.....

Hope you enjoyed your large wine last night...and yes, good luck with the doggy......

I’m of the run forest, run state of mind right now. We are both pretty drippy with allergies, ew all the way around lol



Nice, yes, a couple times. TPA airport is small, easy to navigate. If you fly into MCO, a few companies don’t have drop charges there and also offer free shuttle both to port & then again back to airport after the cruise! Ridiculously short drive to port, less than in Port Everglades in FLL

During sail away, make sure to go out on deck for the glide under the bridge...almost seems as though you can reach up and touch the bridge.



Lost count but have been on somewhere between 6 but less than 10 DCL Cruises. They are obscenely expensive, but you do receive a lovely experience. Castaway Cay is so nice, especially the adult only area haha. I’m of the same mind as you, mentally find myself figuring out how many ‘normal’ cruises I can book for the DCL fare. It’s true, a 4 or even 3day sailing inside cabin on DCL would easily cover a week in a balcony on many other cruise lines.

We didn’t use the big online agency for upcoming cruise as there was really nothing in gimmies & their restrictive cancellation fees. Their holiday sales, especially Memorial & Labor Day ones, offer extra generous perks on RCCL & Celebrity above & beyond what the cruiselines offer direct.

Oh well, yes.....maybe keep running then!!!! lol...….

Glad the new jacket worked out. Ugh on the financial talks, that’s when my eyeballs glaze over, lol. Yummy muffins.
Password comic is hilarious!



Labs are the best! We’ve had 2 yellow labs, a male then a female. Such great dogs. But shed tons. Yep, 2 weeks to go.
Maybe tomorrow afternoon I’ll get a chance to go thru and sort clothing. Today I’ve been battling a headache. Yes, it’s true, I can get stuff in Florida. We’re in Deerfield Beach 6 nights with a car before we head up to Orlando. My daughter wants to do some shopping while we’re there! Macy’s always has good sales, plus we get 10% off for being foreign lol. Nordstrom Rack.... I just can’t forget my cell phone like I did 2 yrs ago, Mr had to Fed-X to me.
Seems like our weather patterns are reversed now. It’s been raining and in 50s here.



I had a similar story in San Francisco with a Crown Plaza. I was traveling with 2 other girlfriends on my paddling team and I booked our room, with 2 queens. Get to the room and it’s 2 doubles. Nope. No way that’s happening so I went back down and said that’s not what I booked. Desk clerk disappeared into the back then came back out and said we’ve got you a 1 bedroom suite in the executive tower. Yes!

Congrats to Liv! And 57 day countdown to WDW!

I think for Sunday I’ll make buttered popcorn and a charcuterie platter. Baguette. And some sort of dessert.
2.5 hrs is about same length flight for me to Anaheim. I always do a direct flight too. Sorta. I have to either take a short 30 min commuter flight to SeaTac or drive the 3 hrs. But from SeaTac it’s direct.


Oh Mac, that’s not good. I hope you’re well soon.


Too funny about the hair! Hope your stomach settles down soon. Dropping like flies around here!
I can send you our rain! Been pouring here most of the day. Finally clearing. For now.
Good luck with SW. not an airline I frequent as they don’t fly into Canada.
Stingrays um no thanks. That’s awful taking you out in rough water. I hope life jackets were provided.
Yup, we have agents that come to the house! Great service. She was here this afternoon.
I have no idea how they can be graceful with heels and short dresses. My exit was anything but!


I always wear spandex shorts under skirt or dresses at the parks especially. Don’t need wardrobe malfunctions!

Every time I say to myself I’m going to look up KSC rocket launch. I’d love to see one. Maybe this time, lol.



Congrats! Maybe you can arrive a few days early and spend some time at St. Pete Beach!


Normally I’d be saying my suitcases are down, I’m way behind my usual schedule. And I still have things in my suitcase from August/Sept I haven’t gotten around to unpacking. I do leave some things in that I always take. Toiletries kit, sunscreen etc.
Thanks I need a relaxing trip, looking forward to toes in the sand!
It’s definitely worth seeing if your car or house insurance offers car insurance. So much cheaper than what those rental companies charge. The credit cards only have limited coverage. No 3rd party liability. Useless.

Hope the headache has improved by now...…

Yes, we leave some items in the cases too....not much, but my American straighteners and things like that....

Wardrobe malfunctions are never fun......

View attachment 393868 Had to bring babies in at dark. Of course they screech if in brooder. Currently fighting for space by my face. Will hold them for a few then off to bed for them. May retire to bed room for peace and quiet. One more week and they should be old enough for outside all the time.

Alright had enough. They keep trying to step on each other and peck my teeth.

Cute though...……



So, we were in the minuses when I got up this morning...….I know we are forecast a very cold weekend, but didn't expect that this morning...…

Rocket didn't launch after all...….will try again tonight......hopefully wind shear will dissipate and it`ll get off the launch pad!!!! I guess seeing a launch and the fabulous images of a real black hole on the same day were too much!!!! yes, we`re geeks...….

Grocery shopping today and got an email from the local deli to say they`ve had a delivery of Italian olives we love so much......first stop this morning...……

Have a great Thursday everyone...…..

 

[Lynne G]

Have to say, not an olive eating person. But, nice of the notice, so you can stop by to get some, Schumi.

And I hear ya, 52 the high, and jacket needed. Almost feels cold. Thankfully, with some rain, 70's for the next 2 days' high.

Oooh, a yellow orange horizon. The sun is coming! Woot! Warm us up, please.

Not so warm inside either, so tea with out ice today.

And for Mac, and all others, drink up, it's a Thursday. Thirsty is the word of the day, and it's good to stay hydrated.

So

and

to all the homies. Just remember: Yep,

.

Hope Charade and B are all packed. One more sleep before that very long bus drive. Hope your trip is lots of fun and great music.

 

[tink1957]

Love you mac
Praying you feel better soon.

 

[Robo56]

Morning Sans family

Today prep day for colonoscopy tomorrow. I could come up with plenty of jokes about that. It’s not my first rodeo with this......glad to know my GI doc will be behind me 100% tomorrow morning.....LOL

My Sister who is a Nurse will be with me tomorrow. So thankful for her love and support.




Monykalyn cute chicks picture.

Hi back at you Robo...hope your day is awesome

Morning Tink hope all is good with you and yours.

Liv has been applying to so many scholarships. She finally heard back from one yesterday that she will be a recipient

Congratulations to Liv.

Hair must be a hit, the mr is chasing me around the house & he’s on midnight shift, usually a slug. No, he hasn’t caught me yet haha

I say when you feel better let him catch you

Mac you have my prayers. I think Hospital May be a good call, if you’re reading this. Please go. E. coli can be pretty scary.

Mac I’am going to second the suggestion Sue made......I would go to the ER in Chattanooga if that is the closet one to you and be evaluated......you are at risk for severe dehydration......this can become quite critical if not treated appropriately.

Sending prayers your way that you get well soon.

Rocket didn't launch after all...….will try again tonight......hopefully wind shear will dissipate and it`ll get off the launch pad!!!! I guess seeing a launch and the fabulous images of a real black hole on the same day were too much!!!! yes, we`re geeks...….

Some of my friends drove up to watch the rocket launch.....they were pretty disappointed. This Falcon Heavy is supposed to be something to see for sure. Hopefully they will launch this evening if conditions are favorable.



I received a late night phone call last night about a death In the family. My heart breaks for these sweet parents and his wife as they begin to grieve the loss of their beautiful son and husband. They are not sure what caused the death it was sudden and unexpected. Remember them in prayer.

 

[Sue M]

Good Morning. Another overcast day here, more rain coming. Mr was out early to take the suv in for a new O ring what ever that is! I’m going grocery shopping.
And hopefully start tackling the clothing seasonal switching. It’s also a good way to weed out stuff I haven’t worn.

Mac, thinking of you.

Schumi I love olives too! Nice they phone you about shipment. Too bad about launch. Hope you get to see it when it finally goes up. Where’s the launch? Yes thanks headache better today.

Robo sorry! Definitely not a fun time, but it will soon be behind you

Lynne 70s sounds lovely. A high of 54 for us and rain. Friday supposed to get a break from the rain, then back to the usual scheduled programme.

Hi Tink. And all the Sans family.

 

[keishashadow]

I’m in that I’ve got so much to do, I don’t know where to start mode, so I’ll waste time on the ‘net mode.

Glad the new jacket worked out. Ugh on the financial talks, that’s when my eyeballs glaze over, lol. Yummy muffins.

St pete’s Beach is amazing! Never have taken the time to drive down the coast to explore all the other great ones there.

You are “the” mother hen

My mom retired from a nursing home. I remember her getting into such a tizzy when they knew the inspectors were coming for the white glove inspection. Worse, the mood she’d be in after they showed up unannounced.

So cute MonyK. Sorry to hear of inspection stress and hope you got that large bottle of wine. And yep, report of cruise would be nice. Thanks.

Thanks Keisha, will be on deck to see that. Think all aboard is 4 pm. Will have to price Tampa versus MCO when SW opens schedule. Kids want to come down a few days earlier, so minions or fish, we have passes to both, so hoping to see a great AP rate for RPR or PB. Would make the kids happy. Either that, or hit BGT for two or so days, and stay in Tampa area.

Little one is not happy about the cruise line choice or where going. Too bad. I think when we go, she will still have fun. She thinks the water and weather will not be warm in the gulf that time of year. I am packing shorts and my bathing suit. It will be warm. And yeah, same price on the Mouse ship would get us barely an inside cabin versus large balcony we have. I promised her the moment I see a military rate for the Mouse’s repositioning cruise in May next year, I will book.

Time to chill. Evening sky was awash with shades of pink and purple. Lovely. Had my jacket on though. Not too bad at 57, but the 20 mph wind is chilly.

Have a good night all. Hope Mac feels better soon, and Sue’s headache goes away fast, if not already gone.

Ain’t it something when the kiddos are picky as to vacation choices when on ma & pa’s dime? Lol, a wake up call once they start paying the bills.

The Caribbean can be cold in January, missed a tender port @ Half Moon Cay last year with one of my DS on CCL. Wound up with an overnight in Nassau, not a win in my book.

Have done the Gulf same month, water is much warmer than eastern islands. Wear a long sleeved rash guard and you’ll be fine

BG is a one day for us, of all things enjoy the landscaping there

Cant Get. Better

You better missie! Sounds like you may need an IV to perk up.

LOLOLOLOL i’m Swiping that line! Oddly enough i found a probing voice mail from hospital scheduling department. I’m so long overdue. Forgot I promised my family dr I’d call them. Returning that call will go on the bottom of my list.

 

[Lynne G]

All the potty talk. LOL Hope all goes well, Robo. Glad you have one of your DSis to be with you.

Mac, still sending prayers and well wishes. I hope you feel so much better soon. Saw on the news, so many have it, Kentucky with the most number infected, with Georgia a close second. I hope whatever caused it, can be found, and no more infected.

Yeah, Keisha, and little one even more annoyed that she remembered she did not have the veto power. Yeah, when you don't pay, and don't say, I do have veto power, and executive choice. While I think crazy for price, I may pay for soda package for her. She can drink coffee, iced most of the the time, but hates tea. Soda will do. Think it includes juices, but that would most likely be a no for her too. At least it's unlimited, and includes large bottles of water, which she will drink, it may be worth it. At least the tip is included in the price per day.

Starting to see what to do in the ports. Only over 200 days. Yeah, I know time will fly. We got lucky on our Bahama cruise last mid January. Best day at the Mouse's beach in weeks. Even the rain the Captain said was coming, apparently realized we wanted enjoy the beach, went South and was a sunny and warm day. We did swim some, and enjoyed a bike ride around the island after we cleaned up from the beach. Was a great beach day. Though older one says he has no desire to step foot in Nassau any day soon after our very hot walk around the town. And yeah, an overnight there, Keisha, would not be a win in my book either. We don't shop much on cruises. Only since it happened to be a Marvel cruise, we just had to get the cruise shirt. Little one is still miffed we did not get her one. Well, we did get her a cruise key chain and a shirt she agreed to via our texting, from Key West. Sometimes she can be so annoying. Older one is just happy to go on vacation with me, and neither kid complains about one room. What will be interesting, is who gets the sofa bed. And on cruise critic, a review of the cabin we have said it was in good location and was fine for the 3 adults staying in it. So, I am very happy to read that. And the best part, since little one will be 18 on the cruise, we all can enjoy the most likely more quiet, adult pool and section. Also, happy boat if fully booked, is about 2800, including crew, so not too big, and just small enough, getting around should be easy to figure out.

Eeek, need to do my lunchtime walk. Later homies.

Afternoon Tink, Robo and Keisha (who's hopefully checked off the first couple of to do items on her to do list).

 

[schumigirl]

Robo, good luck tomorrow with the check.......I know you know there’s nothing to it really......had one friend make such a fuss.......even her teen daughter scolded her!

Sorry to hear you have a death in the family. Sudden deaths seem extra tragic. Much love to them.

Sue, glad the headache is better.........and you’ll get your packing sorted.....plenty of time yet........yes, grateful to the store for letting me know olives arrived......they sell so quickly and I am a good customer......lol.......yes, launch is back on tonight same time....another late night.....launch is at Cape Canaveral......

Keisha....nice one with the line........wasting time on the net is never wasting time.....lol.....

Lynne, sounds like a few nice plans there........hope you had a nice walk........



Pretty productive day.......apart from shopping then stopping in at the deli.....picked up more than olives of course.......lots of prosciutto and an assortment of other stuff......love that store!!! Genuine Italians who know a good bit of produce when they see it.

Another late night tonight, hoping launch goes ahead.........

 

[keishashadow]

Mmmmm prosciutto

Lynne we are tossing a 5 (might be 6 day) cruise out of TPA first week in Dec, along with either WDW/U or DL. I nearly fainted when i realized Thanksgiving hits late this year, as in 2 days before that trip would start. Seriously, considering to see if DH can switch the week. It was way too hectic last time we left on the Sat after the holiday. Heck, I didn’t even have everything ‘rid up’ by then.

 

[Lynne G]

Yeah, Keisha rates for early Dec are good, but both kids aren’t out of final week until around the 17th. Darn 15 December cruises half the price of one’s leaving 21 December. Hence, we would do one over New Year’s, but with DM birthday NY day, we would have to leave the 2nd. So that is what we are planning, as cruise leaves the 5th, but returns day before little one goes back to school. Was cheapest could find, as most cheap was later in month.

Little one still yapping about ports and line choice. Hey, we have been to none, so hoping unusually warm, and we have extra fun, safely.

 

[Charade67]

Good evening everyone. Trying to tie up some last minute ends before leaving tomorrow. I discovered today that I can't set my office email to do an out of office response. I suggested to the boss that she just open my email each day. She told me she needed directions. I said that it was simple, just click start and then Outlook. No, too complicated for her. She had to write down the instructions.
I'm a little annoyed with our contractors. I told the 2 guys who were working on the deck and their supervisor that my husband was out of town and if they needed anything to text me. Gave them my phone number. Today around lunchtime dh texted me and said that he had gotten text from the contractor that the deck was finished and they were requesting payment. Sure, text the guy 2200 miles away and not the person at the house. Makes perfect sense.

Needed a laugh too-nursing home I was at had a surprise state surveyor show up-oh happy joy joy-NOT! showed up for a complaint and ended up spending most of the day in kitchen-and of course got them on stuff we've been preaching to staff for ages. LARGE wine with my name on it tonight!

Oh no. Hope everything worked out well.

Puppy didn't work out-already found a home. Oh well-when it is right our next doggy will find us.

Bummer. I'm a big fan of local shelters. Hopefully you and the right dog will find each other soon.

Normally I’d be saying my suitcases are down, I’m way behind my usual schedule. And I still have things in my suitcase from August/Sept I haven’t gotten around to unpacking. I do leave some things in that I always take. Toiletries kit, sunscreen etc.
Thanks I need a relaxing trip, looking forward to toes in the sand!

Well...my suitcase is out, but noting has been packed yet. I'm going to start tonight while B is in dance. Toiletries will get packed tomorrow.

Cant Get. Better

Continued prayers for your recovery.

Grocery shopping today and got an email from the local deli to say they`ve had a delivery of Italian olives we love so much......first stop this morning...……

Not a olive fan, but how cool that they email you when something you like is in stock.

Hope Charade and B are all packed.

B is mostly packed. I haven't started yet.

oday prep day for colonoscopy tomorrow. I could come up with plenty of jokes about that. It’s not my first rodeo with this......glad to know my GI doc will be behind me 100% tomorrow morning.....LOL

You have my sympathies. My mom is a colon cancer survivor, so I started getting screenings long before the recommended age.

I received a late night phone call last night about a death In the family. My heart breaks for these sweet parents and his wife as they begin to grieve the loss of their beautiful son and husband. They are not sure what caused the death it was sudden and unexpected. Remember them in prayer.

So sorry to hear this.

And hopefully start tackling the clothing seasonal switching

I need to do that too. I guess sometime after we get back.

Yeah, Keisha, and little one even more annoyed that she remembered she did not have the veto power. Yeah, when you don't pay, and don't say, I do have veto power, and executive choice

If B complains I remind her that she is more them welcome to stay at home. It's an empty threat, but seems to work.

Okay, enough procrastinating. I'm off to start packing.

 

[Robo56]

Have a safe trip tomorrow Charade.

Robo sorry! Definitely not a fun time, but it will soon be behind you

Nice one......LOL

LOLOLOLOL i’m Swiping that line! Oddly enough i found a probing voice mail from hospital scheduling department. I’m so long overdue. Forgot I promised my family dr I’d call them. Returning that call will go on the bottom of my list.

All the potty talk. LOL Hope all goes well, Robo. Glad you have one of your DSis to be with you.

Me too.....weekend is almost here. Hope your weather is getting better.

Robo, good luck tomorrow with the check.......I know you know there’s nothing to it really......had one friend make such a fuss.......even her teen daughter scolded her!

Thanks. Prep is actually worse then the procedure........teens are usually more dramatic then the parents sounds like your friend and daughter switched places.

You have my sympathies. My mom is a colon cancer survivor, so I started getting screenings long before the recommended age.

Charade glad to hear your mom survived her colon cancer yep colonoscopy is a necessary thing. I have UC so was getting mine early on to.

Mac hope you are getting the help you need to get better. Get well soon.

Schumi my friend went to see the Falcon rocket go off. She said it was really cool when the two side rocket boosters came back and landed. She said the sonic boom with both was really loud.




Good night Sans family

 

[schumigirl]

Safe journey Charade.....hope the bus ride goes past quickly!!!

Robo....yes, we watched it......wouldn’t have missed it for the world! Even if it was put off till 2.30am our time, we would have stayed up.......but glad it went on schedule as it was almost midnight our time by time we got to bed......Amazing historic moment.......then watching all three rocket boosters come back and land safely, was utterly amazing.......first time they’ve managed that and it was fabulous to hear the enthusiasm of the employees as they realised what had happened.......

The prep I had wasn’t too bad at all, I went without a lot of food the few days before not just the one day before the prep so it was easier than most folks experience....it was the hunger that got me more than anything! Tom and Kyle had fish and chips too that night for dinner!




Cold again this morning........taking DS to work today as they have closed his office car park for work being done on it or something......so nearest car park is a long walk and short stay only, so we said we’ll take him and do some clothes shopping since we’re near town.......and I’d like a smaller suitcase for NY trip.......it’s only a week so our usual ones are too big.....will see if I can find one the right size......can’t be too small either!!!!

Friday again............time for a glass of wine........later of course, breakfast time here........

Have a great Friday.......

Did they televise the launch? Sounds amazing.

For my next colonoscopy I’m going to try altering my diet in advance. Seems like the way to go. The hunger was the worst! So I kept drinking lots.

Funny you’re having breakfast and I’m getting ready for bed!

No, we watched it on the Internet........Kyle has a gaming computer so has a large monitor for it, so we watched it on that in his room. Amazing.

Yes, here I was advised to eat very little the day before the prep and starvation day. I also ate a just a tiny amount of “white” food for the 3 days before that.......had no issues at all. I was miserable and starving and not very pleasant to be around....apparently I was grumpy lol.......but it made life so much easier on the prep day....

Yes, just finished breakfast of toast, cream cheese and grape jelly......and big mug of tea........

Off out now......have a good sleep........

Thanks. Prep is actually worse then the procedure.

Each time I’ve had the procedure the prep has been slightly different, but always horrible. The last time the hardest thing was forcing down all the liquids. (I always think about Dumbledore when he and Harry went after the locket.) For some reason the volume of liquid seemed a lot larger the last time.

Charade glad to hear your mom survived her colon cancer

Thank you. She is also a breast cancer survivor. I got to start those screenings early too.

It’s almost 6:00 and I do not want to be up this early. I’m going to try to get a little more sleep before I have to get up for real.

Doesn't sound a fun thing to drink Charade......the prep I took had a little fizzy sensation, and tasted like sweet fizzy lemonade, so wasn`t unpleasant.……

A couple of friends, and I believe my sister, had one that they just couldn't swallow over......that didn't work out well!!! Had to contact the clinic and get a different prep they could actually swallow!!



Beautiful day here, but still a bit chilly...….been out, got some nice things and even DH did too......always the way when you`re not really looking for anything.....and among other things, strangely enough I got a new pair of winter boots!!! Seemed odd buying them right now, but they were irresistible...….

Shrimp and avocado salad for lunch...….and sausage casserole for dinner......very hearty and warming dish and we all enjoy it...…

No plans so far this weekend for us......I think we are becoming a little anti social!!!

I am always up early for a trip (though the 5:40 am flight this Fall ...), as excited and a touch nervous. Hope you got some more shut eye Charade, and ride goes fast, with no drama from the teens, and adults. Have a great time, both of you.

Robo, glad you are okay, and hope a clean result. Hope you have a nice weekend. Great picture of the rocket.

Schumi, nice to help out your DS. And good luck finding the perfect smaller bag. I have only one bag that can fit overhead, but I will check it in most times, as SW has no extra bag fee. Plus, when I pack it heavy, I am so short, I give a smile, and usually a taller person puts it in and takes it out if it is in the cabin overhead. Little one wants to spend a few days in NYC. Still on my thoughts, as would be during first week of June. I will be taking train though, no driving into the City, if I can help it. If we take the faster train, about an hour ride. Winter items here, are mostly at a good discount, and getting more and more pushed in the back, so glad you found a pair of winter boots you like. Having no plan is s good thing. I like a quiet weekend. Plus, when something comes up, why yes, we can come and why yes, we have time for you.

With that, decided a three day weekend, as want to put car in a bit earlier, so avoid that Friday afternoon traffic. Mom alarm needs to sound soon.

And a hehe, as a treat, bought season passes to Dorney Park. There is a pass holder breakfast with Snoopy next month. Oh yes I did. Little one and I are booked. And yes, we do not have to do the meet and greet. But it’s Snoopy. We will see. I hope the weather is nice.

Have a fabulous Friday and a beautiful weekend. Once again, we get warmer weather, 20 degrees warmer, but clouds get thicker as the day goes by, then rain, heavy in the evening, and chance of rain all weekend. Oh well. A weekend is a weekend, and wahoo for that.

Mac, I hope you are getting better, and resting well, and drinking to stay hydrated. Prayers to you my friend, mummy dust too.

Later homies.

I managed to doze off a bit, but then the birds started chirping. They seemed extra loud this morning. I gave up, got up, and changed the sheets on the bed. Today I will finish packing and give the house a once over before we leave. If I’m lucky I might even get a nap in.
