Something About Nothing ... #12

[Lynne G]

That stinks Charade. I hope they do arrive and do a good set up. Common curtesy would have been at least a call or email or text to let you know the delay.

 

[Chuckers]

@Charade67 Odd, I've never had a problem with a Best Buy delivery. I am sure they will make good tho. Sorry, I know what it's like.. I had a HUGE blowout with Lowe's concerning a stove a couple of years ago.. it was SO bad they ended up refunding me the full delivery charge, plus an extra $200 off the stove.

Hi Homies...I totally admit I have done a cursery skim of posts since the New Year. I spent most of the last several days really ill and the rest going back to work full time.

Charade, I have 27 red and green boxes of ornaments and decorations. I am first in line to inherit my mother's equally impressive collection but hope my sister gets half. We are Christmas decoration nuts, all of us. Let us know if you ever get that TV. I have never had a problem with Best Buy but I live within 30 miles of Corporate Headquarters.

Lynn, I love your photo of the tree in the train station.

Chuckers, getting close now but the "flaming 5" was cool.

Now for why I am still awake...

I had a routine medication management appointment with my doctor. Strangely, we could not get consistent blood pressure readings for my hypertension medicine. It turns out, I have developed an "extra" heartbeat. The readings were great and then I told them my home monitor seemed to be inconsistent. They took it several times and found the same thing. It could be nothing but I have to see a Cardiologist. A Heart Doctor! I am sort of freaking out. I have a baseline EKG from 2012 and this is brand new. Except, I used to have it when I was a teenager about a zillion years ago.

So, Yay, I go to work tomorrow waiting for a phone call from the clinic for my appointment with the "Cardiologist". It is such a scary word.

Good Thursday morning.......

Agavegirl.......lots of hugs and good wishes for you......how scary.........hope it`s not anything serious.....it`s awful having to wait for stuff like that.......


It`s raining here.......heavy.

Been out shopping for groceries and back home.......no plans to go back out today.....still having a clear out of stuff we don't need! Why do we keep so much stuff over the years! Wouldn't mind but every time we`ve moved, and we`ve moved a lot, we had a "clear out" and we still have stuff!!

Have a great Thursday........

 

[macraven]

Happy Thursday homies!

Cold day all around for all today but it won’t last forever
(Maybe)

Hugs agave!
You will get past this and the cardiologist will do wonders to get you back to better health

It’s alwys scary for that first visit
Could be the doc will put you on medicine to help that extra heart beat
I went thru that and atenolol really made the improvement in my case

There are many things they know now to help you have a improved heart

Keep us posted on your progress
All here care about each other

My day is tied up and leaving in a bit as son has a doc appt in Atlanta
Of course the thrill of it for me is doing food out today
I’m not a foodie but love to eat

Bundle up and stay warm today homies

 

[Chuckers]

Good Morning! I'm home for the day.. Snow has started.. they say to expect about 12 inches and National Grid (our power company) told us to expect power outages around noon.

I've got my electrics charged and I am wearing my extra warm robe!

3!

• The atomic number of lithium
• In European alchemy, the three primes were salt, sulfur, and mercury
• 3 in religions, some examples
  • The Three Wise Men gave three gifts to the baby Jesus
  • Paul the Apostle went blind for three days after converting to Christianity
  • Noah had three sons, Ham, Shem, Japheth
  • The prophet Jonah spent 3 days and nights in the belly of a whale
  • The Three Treasures are the basic virtues in Taoism
• In Norse mythology, prior to Ragnarok, there will be three hard winters without an intervening summer, the Fimbulwinter
• In East and Southeast Asia, there is a widespread superstition that considers it inauspicious to take a photo with three people in it; it is professed that the person in the middle will die first.
  
• '3 on a match' is a superstition that you should never use one match to light 3 cigarettes/cigars. This is because soldiers in trenches in World War I believed that a snipe would be able to locate his target by the time the third cigarette was lit

I am going to have to try a meal at The Three Broomsticks in Hogsmeade when I am at Universal in 3 days!!!

It is snowing, so far 4 inches, 5 am no school call. Yeah, I knew last night they would call a snow day. My district was one of the last to declare. Um, below freezing, 12 out, and it has been snowing since around 1 am. Slacker little one just got up. Me, steak and eggs for breakfast. Yum.

Hah, older one said I should help in the snow removal. Yeah, 5 minute rule for me.

With that, traffic seems to be running, though much less than an usual Thursday morning.

I am staying in, and need a second cup of tea, as the heater is getting a workout.

Agave, that is so scary. Sending hugs and mummy dust they figure out your heart issues. I will be thinking of you, and hoping for some good news.

Mac, cold is relative. Enjoy some good food in the city. Hope all goes well for you too.

Schumi, I would take rain instead of snow. That, and it would be warmer if rain. But freezing rain, no. Hope the weather improves soon for you.

Morning, well almost afternoon. Mac just past the exit for your town and in my spaceship....



It’s 27 in your neck of the woods. Was 13 on Mount Eagle.

That’s my husband with his hands on the window.....LOL...while I was driving earlier

Actually for those who didn’t do HHN it’s it’s the spaceship that was at HHN.

I drove over mount eagle week ago
Not my favorite drive over the mountains
I would put my hands on the window also if I wasn’t driving

I would have said stop in to my place for food but I’m sitting in a building in Atlanta

Trafffic was easy going this morning until about exit to 259
Bumper to bumper then

You will be at the Florida Georgia line in about 4 hours

Safe travels homie!

 

[Charade67]

Geek Squad arrived exactly on time today. I should have a TV when I get home.

 

[keishashadow]

Being drug out into the cold today...power of a free lunch is strong indeed.

Day 7 and an threatening email sent to management company & DS now has new furnace & running water. Makes you appreciate the small stuff that you take for granted but is oh-so imperative in life.

Good luck, probably a stress test & the strap on take home monitor in your future. No worries, always better to meet your Cardiologist in his office vs an ER!

 

[Chuckers]

So far so good here... no problems around my home. The storm is winding down now.. still snowing, but winds are the issue.. then the below zero temps tomorrow. Mostly the coastal areas got hit hard. I live inland. My housemate actually had to work in the AM because GameStop doesn't close unless there is a driving ban. He was open until 1pm.. the only store open in the strip mall. I stayed home, played video games, and slept

 

[Charade67]

The new TV looks great. We are breaking it in by watching my favorite movie, Singin’ in the Rain.

Schools are on a 2 hour delay tomorrow due to the cold. I think it is supposed to warm up some next week.

Agavegirl - I thought I had a lot of Christmas decorations, but mine doesn’t even come close to your collection. Prayers for you as you visit the cardiologist. Hopefully it will not be anything major.

Time to get back to the movie. We had it paused while dh went to pick B up from ballet.

Waving hello to everyone else. Stay warm and dry.

 

[Chuckers]

@agavegirl1 I hope all goes well at the doctor's.

Agavegirl- hope things go ok with the heart doc! I forget how scary his can be to those outside healthcare field. My oldest saw a cardiologist for first time at ripe old age of 3 months. Innocent heart murmur but she's been monitored again when a teen (syncope/passing out spells). Finally graduated and no more routine follow ups. Never did figure out what caused the syncope. As Mac said- so many ways to manage heart/blood issues now.

Happy new year and here's to hoping for good health for all.

Checkers hope it warms up for you!

New Year's Eve Eve in MK was awesome (started in Epcot -flight got in and first drop off on ME is cornado. Room ready text while on bus. So we dropped stuff and went for a drink. Timing didn't work to go see DD at work. I'd snagged a liberty tree tavern early dinner that am, and the late dessert party a few weeks ago, so we had a schedule to keep. Fireworks were AWESOME!!!! Omg my favorite! Tink flew right over our table at dessert party.
NYE in Epcot- holy smokes was it crowded!! But I've never been when the entire crowd was in such a great mood- seriously no grumps. Didn't see any obnoxious drunks either. Saw both illuminations and fireworks.
And then it got cold. Omg cold. Got a new sweatshirt to supplement my jacket, sweater, coat and windbreaker I'd brought. I even bought leggings and wore them under jeans yesterday. I discovered I'd rather melt than freeze. Managed to get through HEA without tears though last night

But - June trip is BOOKED! Bounce back is pretty good. 5 days at cabins in Fort Wilderness (have always wanted to stay here, and with not knowing if we will have 4 or 5 people seemed best option). Plus-DH mentioned how he wants to do universal several times, he's even looked up prices for Uni APs!! Says he's Disneyed out. We have some expenses coming up, so if we can get those handled then Universal is in, maybe with APs. He was looking at the three park ones but I don't think we'd need the water park included ones. I'm supposed to do some research on blackout dates on lower level passes and put together a budget...

Only 9 more hours to home. DD's car is PACKED. Almost to Chattanooga. And it's getting colder. Ugh. Think with 3 drivers we may drive straight through.

She earned her ears...

 

[Chuckers]

Appointment is tomorrow so I'll know more.

Sending you good vibes!

 

[Chuckers]

I have been trapped in my house all day... I have 3 days until vacation... and I am bouncing off the walls. I WANT TO SCREAM and it's too early to go to bed!
