Something About Nothing ... #12

[Robo56]

Flonase'd & eye drop'd up but the pollen count here has the two of us looking like slobbering monsters after just a few hours of work out in the yard. Seems earlier than usual this year

I feel your pain. I usually don't have as much problems with the allergies as I have in the last two weeks. Pulled some weeds out of the flower beds today and even after allergy med and nasal spray eyes were terribly itchy and red and nose running. Felt so bad I went to be early. Know I'am wide awake.....LOL

Hope you feel better. Yep, I'm in the same boat. Been outside all weekend with the kids. Took extra Benadryl last night and was out by 8pm. Been awake since 3am.

Happy Monday Morning all! I've been working since 3:30 am... but there's only 3336 hours until I go on vacation!

 

[Lynne G]

Morning Chuckers. Eek, 3:30, but yay! Vacation is clearly in sight.

Ah, was up at 4:30, fell back asleep until 5:40, then napped some more until 6. That week-end was too fast.

Rain, we have rain. Waking up to hear the cars on a wet road, well, sweater and raincoat today.

- yeah, and the tea is not cutting it. Drank the cup so fast, now I have to pour another. Almost too cool inside today.

Free dining. Well with my family, and pocketbook, we're staying with the deals we got. Now if only the dark side allowed an APH discount, but I'll keep checking. In full vacation mode this year, apparently.

Lynne, I was up all night waiting for free dining to drop then spent a few fruitless hours trying to modify my Pop reservation..I was finally able to book around 7:30 ...now I can't sleep but I added another day to our trip so it's all good and I scored it for only $145 more with free food

Hope you feel better Robo and pc my kids suffer with allergies but thankfully I do not...good thing since I work around plants all day.

Now I'm off to drink a cup of sleepy tea


Have a great day everyone

 

[Lynne G]

That's great Tink. We've done free dining in the past, but the last several years, used a deal and that's been the best. I'm at POP soon after you, so I am hoping I get a refurbished room. I'm going to ask to be in the 50's, as a walk to the bus can be long. Oh, and for the holidays, we're at FQ, at a price much cheaper, and with table dining plan. While I don't mind the quick service and paying OOP, which we've done before too, with the crazy crowds, a table meal a day, will be a good down time. At POP, I'm just quick service, but since only 4 nights, that's fine with me. And my dates are not when free dining is offered. Even if I come in a day before, to get the free dining, I'd be paying around $300 more for one more night. Last time, was even too much food, but this year, have a better plan, and not really that bothered no dessert with quick service, I rarely ordered it anyway.

It's also 12009600 seconds until my vacation. The caffeine has kicked in and I am getting really giddy and a bit stupid right now. (Two cups of tea and a 5 hour energy drink...) Kinda laughing at nothing while talking to co-workers. Thankfully, I told my boss I am leaving at noon.

Yay for full vacation mode! I was in that the moment I made my reservation!

Sad news from here - my father passed away last week. Heading out tomorrow to Michigan for the funeral (Sat) and to help my mom out for a couple weeks. She was supposed to be having a hip replacement (that I was already planning to go out for) this Thursday, but of course that's all on hold now. My brothers have been immensely helpful during all of this (one flew out immediately to be there for mom when it appeared imminent, the other flew out when he left and stayed for the weekend) which is good because I've been sick all week. Currently have absolutely NO voice (I can squeak a little bit when needed) and trying all the home remedies. Worried about the flight tomorrow due to my cough. Bleh. On the plus side, my brothers and their families will all be coming out so some of my guys will meet some cousins for the first time ever (who are now like 6 & 8). And I'll see all 3 of my guys together for the first time in almost 18 months.

Anyway, for anyone interested, the link to the obit: http://www.desmondfuneralhome.com/obituary/Stephen-J.-Seiner/Troy-MI/1721460

One more plus is that I may actually get to see Janet on her trip out now since I'll be coming home sooner most likely from this trip then heading back out again for the surgery later.

 

[Chuckers]

My condolences Marciemi, I am sorry for your loss.

 

[macraven]

Marcie, sad news to hear
Never easy to let go of a loved parent

I'm sure you will have comfort being with the family, good you will have a lot of support for your Mother

Hope you feel better as you travel North
My condolences to you and your family
Keep in touch

You can call me anytime if you want to talk

 

[Lynne G]

With sympathy Marcie. It's hard and I am praying peace for your family. It is good that all are coming home to help each other. I hope you feel much better, and get your voice back before you have to leave. Take care.

Tink - yea for you! I was surprised to still see openings for week prior to thanksgiving & over Xmas just now! Just window shopping tho

Is that the bowling pin one? It was convenient

Have you ever stayed @ SOG? We could only do it in Sept or Jan as the mr not retired from military. Wasn't available our dates last January though.

Aw sorry to hear that Marcie. Sounds like he was a great guy & had a life well-lived.

Will hit u up with our current schedule, such as it is once i finally, finalize it lol. considering flipping the first 2 days as i switched arrival flight last week to a more decent arrival time

Mr treated me the cruise, rates dropped last week to point where i couldn't resist. I'm surprising him with a balcony upgrade. Jury out whether that will sink or swim.

 

[Lynne G]

Yes, I have Keisha. We liked SOG, as the rooms were big, and people are well, military polite and generally quiet, like most BOQs. We used their buses sometimes, and generally walked to the Poly most of the time. Pool and food not much to say about, but the pizza was decent at the pool, and price is definitely right for where it is. I'll be visiting it, to get my annual pass, gotta save the tax on that boy, and get the military tickets for kids' dark side. Nice price on them, and using them at the latest they can be used. Win, well, more money, that I thought would only mostly be for the mouse. 50's not sure if that's where the Pin is. Been a long time since I was at POP, and kids refuse to stay there anymore. Me, well, solo, I want to save money. Then more days at the darkside was a result. Yeah, vacation math and all that.........

Sounds like he had a wonderful life Marcie, so sorry for your loss.

My sympathies and prayers go out to you and your family marciemi .

Hope you get to feeling better.

Tink nice to hear you got your free dining.

Congratulations on the cruise Keisha. Sounds like you have a sweet Mr.

Sounds like there is going to be a few of us at Universal in May and the count down begins. I did make a reservation at Mytho's as I think the parks are going to be busy with the upcoming opening of Volcano Bay.

Think I will go out and ride my John Deere.

Today was unusual for me

No appointments....

Had Mr Mac rent a rug doctor and he cleaned the rooms that have carpet in our house


But the job was finished at 11 today but carpets still damp

Ick

No rain today and temps will start to rise this week
Due to have 86 by Friday

Cats will love those carpets Have early eye dr appt, just checked AccuWeather to figure out what to wear. App said it's minus 123 degrees out . Think I'll let the mr take the dog outside.

I was walking in one of the rooms in my house

Socks are wet
Carpet not dry yet
