Something About Nothing ... #12

[Monykalyn]

Home today, taking a quick break from cleaning to eat. Couldn't figure out why I felt awful until I remembered that I'd only had coffee this am...Sheets changed, bathrooms scrubbed, floors mopped-only have some loads of laundry to finish and vacuum. DH was gone this am so I did get lots done...but I discovered showtunes are both a great music to clean to and not so good to clean to (I want to stop and belt out the songs -distraction city LOLOL!). I must see Wicked someday as I LOVE the music. And I now have Greatest Showman songs memorized.

Had to take truck back in today-took it in couple days ago to check radiator after my "leak". No issues, refilled. BUT now the heat didn't work again-seems they clogged the lines when cleaning the radiator, those same lines I had them clean a few weeks back to get heater working. To say I was aggravated is mild. DH handled it as he knew I was ticked. They didn't charge for the work this visit!

Swim practice tonight and my turn to drive, bringing stuff in for hospitality room for coaches too. Then working it tomorrow. In-laws return from their 3 week stay in Mexico tomorrow too, and oldest kid coming home tonight.

Think I am going to shun super bowl parties this year and just be a hermit

Chickens not happy about cold weather turn. Like I can control weather like I control the treats??

Happy Anniversary Lynne!!!

Back to the cleaning...

Back home, hit the outlets and grocery store. Traumatized from stitch removal, going to order Chinese and call it a day

Thanks for the anniversary wishes Keisha, Mac and Schumi,

Well, spirit day today, so hoagies and pizza for lunch. Tastycakes for dessert. Yum. Ha, kids will be starved for dinner and I'll be like, eh, ate too much for lunch.

Yeah Keisha, CO2 is not fun to mess with at all. Here's hoping the chimney and all will be fine, or fixed before buying. Houses. Probably the biggest purchase most have made.

Lady of Leisure is surely a job. Heck, Mac and Keisha both are excelling at as well. Me, well, maybe a part time one.

Yay for countdowns. We have none at the moment. But that's okay, I'm good at both quick and long term countdowns. I want to go for a Spring trip one day. Have never done one, as only time we can presently go, is over Easter break. Eh, while we brave Christmas crowds, we stay longer than we would for Easter.

Time is crawling.

Man, if this town wins, there will be so much celebrating. I sorta remember the town red, when the World Series trophy came to town. I will watch the crowds from the sofa. And maybe break out that wine we got as a present.

I prefer 'kept woman'

I’m here........all ironing finished by 10.30 this morning.........

Just finished dinner.........full up! Pork I’ve been cooking all day has been shredded and now waiting bbq sauce draped over it that has been simmering for a couple of hours.........will then freeze it.........should keep us going a while.......

Lazy night ahead..............one friend called me a couple of hours ago and asked if I wanted to go to a keep fit class with her........That gave us a good giggle..........told her to enjoy it.

Have a couple of episodes of The Blacklist to watch and few other things.......

By chance saw first issue this week about a fire bug. OMG is it always so violent? Certainly kept my interest

I may need a nap after reading that day

In my room on the heating pad. I’am heading back home tomorrow in am. Did venture into park this am, did get as far as Super Hero Island then turned back. Back is better and pain improving.

Schumi hope you are feeling better soon.

Your grass still looks green in your neck of the woods.

I think you will have good weather for your stay in March if it’s as warm as it was last year. Today was very nice and sunny. Day started off cool, but warmed up nicely to 73.

People were in the pool today. Volcano Bay opened back up again after being closed for past couple of days do to cool weather.

Moon last night was pretty, but did not look blue or blood red





Happy Anniversary Lynne to you and your Mr



Hey! Mac I’am glad I made my ressie for fall too in December.

Keisha hope you have recovered from your kitty allergy episode.

 

[Robo56]

Keisha sounds like you need your rest after your stitch removal trauma and shopping. Hope everything heals up soon

Saw on news last night areas of Florida are being hit hard with Flu. Some lady on boat over to park this morning had terrible cough. She was not covering her mouth or putting her mouth in her shirt to contain her germs.

I ask her nicely to cover mouth because she was contaminating the whole boat. She got mad. Some people are pretty inconsiderate. Then on the way back to Resort another lady got on the boat coughing too. As my niece wood say “what the farts is wrong with people”....LOL

 

[Monykalyn]

Today is going to be one of those days I wish we still had our spa hot tub. Glass of wine, cool clear weather...currently at swim practice for next hour and half. Not worth it to drive home and back . Good thing DH doesn't read the boards because he'd be spending my Universal ticket money on a new spa

Robo- I'm tired of people just coughing like the whole world deserves to be spit upon too! Good for you for saying something! I'm not a huge germaphobe but that is a pet peeve of mine!

Yep, you don’t want to give up up your Universal ticket money for sure.

I just think some folks don’t think about being considerate or they just don’t care. There were elderly people and little children on the boat this morning. These are the very ones who are at increased risk of catching her cooties.....and I will have to admit I don’t want to catch a cough with what’s going on with my back.

Do you hire out?

 

[macraven]

Robo enjoy your last night at uo

Safe travels for when you are returning home


Hoping your back pain has stopped so you can do the drive

[schumigirl]

Janet.......ouchy!!!! Hope you enjoyed the Chinese food though.......always a nice treat!! Yes, The Blacklist is quite violent at times.........I got a bit bored last season as they were dragging out some stories, just get to the point already.......but this season is a good one........love James Spader.......strangely used to hate watching anything with him in it........but appreciate him now.........

Robo, nice picture........I’m with you on the germs......and don’t think twice about telling folks to cover their mouth.....there’s no need to share germs with everyone. I have offered people a hanky if they are sniffing so bad......another pet hate.........once we even moved tables at dinner one night as the guy beside us was sniffing in such a gross way......no way could we have sat there and listened. In that case when they don’t care......I don’t care if it appears rude..........some people have no manners.

Yes, our grass in this country never loses it’s green colour in the winter........we’re a very damp country in general.......occasionally in a very rare heat wave it might go a bit yellow if you don’t get the sprinklers on it......but men go to the moon rarer than that happens here........hope you’ve had a blast and the back is better too........



Doesn’t seem to be so cold this morning........going out for a couple of bits we forgot yesterday.......printer paper for one........always seem to run out of that and printer ink.......

Time for breakfast..........

 

[Lynne G]

Morning.

Safe travel Robo. Hope your back is much better.

Yeah, people are rude and do not care about others. I hear coughing in public areas and it does make me annoyed. We definitely have the flu here. One of my brothers had it. He is fine now, but I stayed far away when he had it.

 

[Monykalyn]

Found this from one of my favorite sights-bout sums it up for me.

That is such a shame re the back holding you back. Awkward phrasing lol sentiment is there. Last thing you want to deal with on a trip.

One thing good about the crisp, cold air up north in the winter is just a few minutes of it will clear your head. Akin to an ice cold shower. Do know that it tended to aggravate my kids juvie asthma though at times. Glad they outgrew it.

When u have to tell a grownup to cover their mouth, probably a lost cause but I applaud you for trying to edumucate her dim butt. I'd like to think the fellow passengers cheered. Had a woman comment recently when I did the into the elbow cough thing. Said she had never seen it. Um ok, then, she lives in a cave lol?

Yes, I will soldier on with the trauma of my stitch removal. Hahahaha. Feels so good, itching was driving me mad(er)

Apologies to Chucker who may be a fan of that dern NE team, but the world may very well go off it's axis on Sunday, when everyone in Pittsburgh (and many other burgs) are rooting for the Eagles!

[keishashadow]

Not sure i can bring myself to sing your anthem lol, but this made me shed a (good) tear when i saw the look on Mr Gary's face when he realized what was going on

 

[Lynne G]

Ah, snow and below freezing. Slippery conditions on both roads and sidewalks. Eek, wind chill is 6.

I was thinking Mexican, but DH mentioned burger place. Burger and unlimited fries sound good to be.

Sun is starting to come out, big fluffy clouds only showing some sun brightness and blue sky.



Enjoy the day!

 

[Lynne G]

That was nice of families to send Mr. Gary. Funny it got a National news story.

Football fever is in high gear everywhere. Green town. And a hehe, Keisha. Older one has a Big Ben jersey but no Eagles jersey. Has both cities hockey jerseys too.

Sigh. Teen. Texted me she wanted to go to friend’s house after school. Asked when she would be home, said table of us want to go out. That may mean the DH or older one taxi will do the pick up. I will be snuggling a throw and a cup of tea tonight.

 

[Charade67]

Hello everyone. I feel like I’m a week behind even though I think I only missed a day or two. We are still not certain what the weather will be like this weekend. The latest I heard is we may get 2 inches of snow or none at all. I went to the grocery today just to be on the safe side. We have been eating out a lot lately because of Barnum rehearsals.

Wow, I typed that first paragraph an hour ago then promptly fell asleep.

Schumi - Glad to hear your illness was brief. Sometimes I wish I could just hibernate until Spring.

Lynne - Happy belated anniversary.

Tink - I’m with you. I can’t stand that football team either. I may not even watch this year.

Kfish - 10 sheets for Kindergarten registration? I don’t remember it being that bad. Then again, it was a long time ago.

MonyK - I got lucky and got to see Wicked when B and I went to NYC summer of 2016. We went with a group of Girl Scouts, so the show choice was theirs. I’m just happy the majority picked Wicked. I really enjoyed it. I need to download The Geatest Showman soundtrack. I don’t have any songs memorized yet, but if I keep going to B’s theater rehearsals I will have some songs from Barnum memorized soon.

Robo - I absolutely hate to see people coughing and sneezing in public with out even attempting to cover. I’ve had clients call in sick on their appointment days and then say “But I think I will be okay to come in today.” No. Just stay home and keep it to yourself. I promise you that you will not be charged a missed appointment fee.

Now that I am awake I suppose I should do some house cleaning. I don’t know how this place gets so messy with only 3 people who are hardly ever at home.

 

[macraven]

Is everyone doing pizza / wings for the super bowl game?

I probably won't be watching, but I'm planning chili for Sunday dinner.
