Something About Nothing............ #14

[soniam]

Thanks Sue !
Long story short ..
No dental work happened but going to see an oral surgeon which I’m waiting to set up

But I was in the dental chair for over an hour with nitrous and I really relaxed with no care in the world

It was worth the money even thought no dental work was able to be done today
Lol

I remember getting my wisdom teeth out. I had to find an oral surgeon that would not require me to be anesthetized; I am phobic of needles. The guy I used said he could just do mouth shots (can't see them, so they aren't shots, right) and gas, even though all 4 were being removed and they were impacted. When he gave me the gas, I was kind of reluctant to breath it in. Then I remembered what he was about to do, and I breathed that stuff in as much as I possibly could. Some days, I could use that at home

Smilies are working again!!!

 

[schumigirl]

When I was a kid, if I said that I couldn't find something, my mom would say "If I find it, do I get to hit you?". She never hit me, but it did make me go back and look or to look really well in the first place. I say this to my son, and he usually goes and finds it. I was once looking for my glasses, and he asked if he could hit me, if he found them. I said no, because I couldn't find them, because I wasn't wearing them. It was due to lack of looking; I just couldn't see.


Good luck on the dental work. I hope it's almost over and you get to eat again.


Finished my old tea and switched to the new one. It's earl grey black tea with orange peel and I think cornflowers. It's nice and springy.

Oh that sounds lovely, I love Earl Grey in most variations .......don`t laugh.....we just finished a box of Heart of Persia from Harrods..it was a Christmas gift from a friend. This is the description on the box....not my words. I didn`t even know what blue mallow was!!!


"By drawing on a colourful selection of fruits and flowers, the Heart of Persia loose leaf black tea from The East India Company serves to celebrate its Sri Lankan origins. Uniting the fruity flavours of orange peel and strawberry with notes of saffron, lotus petals, blue mallow and marigold flowers results in a refreshing brew that's best reserved for afternoon tea."

I worried the saffron would overpower it, but it was beautifully delicate.

An hour with the laughing gas sounds like not too bad an afternoon.......lol......






Thought I`d jump in the car and drop off some easter eggs......opened the front doors and the rain was bouncing down! Never noticed or heard it. Decided to leave it till tomorrow, didn`t know rain was forecast, hope it`s off for the morning.

Looks pretty darn miserable out there.

Nitrous oxide is the only way my butt is in the chair for any dental work
( this includes cleaning)

I can not tolerate injections and work to be done without it

But today it was two hours of my time to get to the point no work was gonna happen today
But it was a lovely way to get a good buzz so no complaints out of me.

On to another dental group and take it from there for a nerve test to be completed

Other than this tie up, it’s been a great day for me.

 

[macraven]

Yaa
Smilies are back….

That does sound good. The tea I get has hokey descriptions too. Like it's going to change your life or something. You never see that on descriptions of coffee, wine, or beer Cocktails should have these fantastical descriptions though

Slower day again. I can definitely tell the spring break up has happened now - even though it is cold, blustery and windy here today. Heard back from my manager about my raise - and extremely surprised that they came back close to what I was asking for So for now I will stay put here - as it is similar to what I would get if I moved to a different company (outside of healthcare). I have seniority, loads of holiday time, no problems when I want to leave early, take time off and NOT micromanaged. I would still love and will keep trying to snag a job in healthcare...but for now, I'm happy with what and where I am now.

Took chicken out for supper tonight, not sure what I'm going to make with it yet...probably just do a honey mustard chicken, some potato wedges, and I think I'm going to make parmesan cheese crusted zucchini wedges . Nothing fancy. I am wanting to head to the gym tonight. Since sitting around so much over the weekend...it's time to get my butt moving!

I stay with their schrimp and okra and hush puppies

I had hush puppies for the first time when we were in Florida.....and OH MY...they were delicious. I can't wait to go back and find more of those on menus!!! lol

Geez it’s too cold for spring. Wore heavy hoody and fleece gloves. Dogs had their jackets on! Ominous clouds gathering. They’re calling for a risk of T-storms, rare here. We dodged the rain. Just a few drops then stopped. Starting to spit again. Crazy weather this week. I’m ready for more springlike weather.

Yup...it's gross, ugly and typical spring weather for our area. I think the wind is the worst...and of course because we are not used to it again, I'm wimping out.

We got the car cleaned, but I think he will be smelling meatballs for the next week.

lol. I had a similar thing happen. That was when I went out and bought a small bissell little green machine steam cleaner. It works great. We still use it to freshen up our vehicles in spring.

I seen your guy won again in Nascar - He's having a great year!!!! Yay team Penski

So today, quite the increase in temps. Almost a 30 degree jump by this afternoon. So definitely a jacket in the morning, and probably not in the afternoon. Hehe, time of year, you forget the jacket on the way home. Saying our return to work starts early next month. With increases in the City numbers, the City raised their level of response, and now all required to wear masks indoors. I thought where I work, they still had that mask requirement in place. Last time I was at work, a few weeks ago, I was the only one wearing a mask among the people I saw. I feel sorry for the City businesses, mask wearing was not required for some time now. And so, while my work’s level had decreased, with the City increasing, will see if that back to work planned start moves back any. But at least it’s a slow back schedule, as all back seems to be scheduled for the Fall. I don’t care either way. And thankful, that teleworking is supposed to be more available when we return.

I am waiting to see if another mask mandate will happen here. They don't report actual numbers anymore, but talk about rising cases here. Sigh...I am glad that we are on the upswing of spring/summer. I'm tired of it all.

Had a lovely walk this morning too....we did our 6 miles and in record time. Then did some clothes and trainer shopping, quite succesful.......yes he did ask did I really need another new dress.....er, yes I do...........he has a twinkle when he teases though. I love dresses. And came home to a parcel.......oops forgot about that order!!

I love dresses, but don't wear them often. I seem to be drawn to them more and more lately. It seems like what is out the last couple of years, I always seem to find one in a store calling my name! If I wore more dressy clothes to work, I would wear more dresses, but sadly, I don't need to wear dressy clothes. But I do have a few dresses to wear for outings, weekend shopping etc. I will be looking for a new dress for my sister's wedding -hense why I am motivated to get to the gym more often

Finished my old tea and switched to the new one. It's earl grey black tea with orange peel and I think cornflowers. It's nice and springy.

Yum!!!! I'm an earl grey tea lover!!!! That sounds delicious!

But I was in the dental chair for over an hour with nitrous and I really relaxed with no care in the world

It was worth the money even thought no dental work was able to be done today

I hope your trips to the dentist end soon and that your have a great set of chompers to enjoy your favorite meals!

Well, I should get some more papers shuffled. I need to run to the bank to do a deposit.

Have a great day everyone!

 

[macraven]

Hip hop hooray!!!
Pumpkin got her raise so that means all the drinks tonight are on her…

Break out the Pepsi… I’m thirsty for a bottle

Big congrats for you rolling in the money now homie!

OMG! I can't believe I missed that. Congratulations!!!!!!

 

[schumigirl]

Congratulations on the raise pumpkin…….I’m sure you deserve it!!

And yes……..pink gin for me please as you’re in the chair……

Oh good luck with a dress for the wedding. There are so many beautiful options for guests now. I wear dresses a lot so yes, I do like a good selection and it’s hard to not buy them all.

And similar over here……some nhs guy wants masks back everywhere…….not sure the public will be prepared to do it again.




Still raining and almost bed time for us over here…….think I’ll drop off quickly again tonight……..

 

[Charade67]

Good evening everyone. We had a gorgeous spring day today. Too bad I was stuck inside for most of it. And in other good news, the school finally fixed my email account. My dependent aid posted today, so I am now officially enrolled. Tomorrow I am going to request a student ID.

I think that`s a man thing at times when they can`t see what`s in front of them......but goodness me, that must have looked quite the sight on the back seat!!

I often have to remind him where he left stuff. The back seat looked like a crime scene.

And yes, dinner tonight is easy......chicken stuffed with brie and cranberry wrapped in proscuitto........

That sounds so good.

Thus, nothing new on this week before Easter. With kids in college, no week day time off for that holiday weekend. In fact, classes are almost done, as little one has finals 2 weeks earlier than older one, as she will be done at the end of this month. Wow, that Spring semester is going by fast. And so, it will be a nice family get together, as older one was able to get this Sunday off.

We get the Monday after Easter off, so B is going to come home for the weekend. I think she is more than ready for this semester to end.

Off to the dentist soon for the crown fitting.
If it fits, I think I can gnaw on meat again

I was going to say I hope it went well, but I see in a later post that you didn't have any work done today.

Charade yikes! Must have been quite the cleanup!

It was a disgusting, sticky mess.

And another week starts and Mother Nature has blessed with with a light dusting of snow . As you can guess, I'm a happy camper about that!!!

I am glad it's a 4 day week, and I get to be home for the 3 day weekend. I'll take it, as we are usually travelling to see the kids on a long weekend. They are coming to visit next weekend. So I will be getting ready for them to come. Grammie needs to get a few new toys for gd to play with. I'm thinking about a doll, and sewing up some quick little diapers, a couple of clothes, and maybe a bag to carry things around the house in. I've been watching on buy and sell pages for a small kitchen or something like that for her to use while at our house. I'll see what I can find

Snow? Hope you get some warmer weather soon. Enjoy your time with family.

Sue, yeah, snow. Hope we are done with it, and you too. Hehe, little one likes her Starbucks, but she always gets teased by her Canadian friend who says she needs a Timmy’s where she lives. We can get the pods of Timmy’s coffee, and I’ll say, it is good. Though almost any pod I put in my coffee maker seems good tasting to me. Appropriately though, most of our pods are Starbucks, as we buy those big boxes of them at the big box stores.

One of Dh's former students, a Canadian, gave him some Tim's coffee and he loved it. Thankfully we can get it at Target here.

Lynne i bought Timmy’s coffee for Charade’s husband last trip lol.

And he was so very appreciative.

When I was a kid, if I said that I couldn't find something, my mom would say "If I find it, do I get to hit you?". She never hit me, but it did make me go back and look or to look really well in the first place. I say this to my son, and he usually goes and finds it. I was once looking for my glasses, and he asked if he could hit me, if he found them. I said no, because I couldn't find them, because I wasn't wearing them. It was due to lack of looking; I just couldn't see.

I wonder if that would work on dh.

I have never experienced nitrous oxide.

Be aware that not all hush puppies are created equal. I generally don't like them, but there are a couple of restaurants I've been to that have incredibly good hush puppies.

lol. I had a similar thing happen. That was when I went out and bought a small bissell little green machine steam cleaner. It works great. We still use it to freshen up our vehicles in spring.

I didn't even think to use my little carpet cleaner. That would have made cleaning easier.

Time to go see if there is anything worth watching on TV.

 

[Charade67]

I missed a quote earlier.

I seen your guy won again in Nascar - He's having a great year!!!!

Yes! And he also won the truck race at Martinsville. I hope to see a few more wins this season.

 

[macraven]

Charade hope you have better luck than me on finding something good on tv tonight

I’m still channel surfing

 

[Charade67]

Charade hope you have better luck than me on finding something good on tv tonight

I watched old episodes of Castle.

 

[macraven]

Not familiar with that one

I would get up out of my chair to put the tv back on but I have a cat on my lap sleeping

I do have my priorities..

 

[Charade67]

Castle is a mystery novelist who assists the NYPD solving homicides. The show ran on ABC from 2009-2016.

Glad you got the email situation sorted, it is very frustrating when things like that happen.

I don`t think I know anyone who hasn`t experienced "laughing gas" as we call it......you`re the first!

I only tried hush puppies a few years ago for the first time.......no idea what they were, but I have to say the four or five times I`ve eaten them they have been wonderful.

Charade hope you have better luck than me on finding something good on tv tonight

I’m still channel surfing

We often say we seemingly have thousands of channels, but there is never anything on worth watching. Repeats after repeats. Hope you found something worth watching.....




Saw on a site yesterday UOR is looking to recruit over 800 people for food and beverages alone......they must be short staffed by quite a lot.

Did sleep like a baby last night, and the rain must have stopped during the night, ground is still damp, but mild temps are there, so a walking we will go......then I do have to drop off several eggs and drop some into the charity place too, they always appreciate them. Grocery stores as well as the food bank donations also look for easter eggs to be handed in too which is popular too. And remember the male adults in my life still enjoy a large easter egg too on Sunday!!!

No idea what`s for breakfast, lunch or dinner yet.......will think on it later.

Happy Tequila Tuesday ​

 

[Lynne G]

Ah, tequila and tacos. Great combination for this Tuesday. Hope your morning has been nice, Schumi. Wet weather you’ve had.

Oh and my whole family is not good at finding things I ask them to look for. Grrr.

Glad your school email got straightened out, Charade. My dad used to take my youngest brother and I to the local stock car races. Don’t watch them and don’t watch golf either. Both were what my dad liked to take us to and watch on tv. Nice B has a day off. For some reason, little one’s university gives no days off around Easter. And this year, no Spring Break either. They did get 3 random wellness days. Can’t believe she graduates this year.

Ah, southern food. Do like hush puppies too. Still wish we had a really good bbq place near me. Sadly, not much southern type food places where I am.

That’s good Universal is hiring so many for food and beverage services. As the parks seems to be getting more and more crowded, long lines for food with too thin workforce is not a good thing. As with shorter hours as not enough workers too.

Ah, that wonderful swing of that Gulf Stream, and Southern winds are are blowing up here. Yeah, and while already 49 degrees out, light rain will be here within the hour. At least the rain is only to fall in the morning. Hope it ends before my lunchtime walk. Because yay, 73 degrees is the high today.

And based on the mid 80’s beautiful sunny day vacationing Keisha should have, Mac should have a nice enough day to enjoy her Taco Bell dinner.

And so, with this almost too warm a home, screen and tea cup Tuesday for me. And ahhh, hair salon visit just before dinner time. Yay, legally blonde just in time for that Easter bunny time.

A hehe, bought these very cute, little stuffed sea animals to put in little bunny decorated bags for the two great nieces, great nephew, and niece that are to be here this Sunday. Ages 8 to 8 months. My little one, age 20, wants one of the stuffed creatures. What? Silly little one. Well, it is an 8 pack of them, so she can pick one, and the other three I’ll save for my other two great nieces and great nephew. They may be visiting this summer, as we don’t see them very much, and have seen the Sunday ones more. Though the other ones live around 9 hours away, and the Sunday ones, only live about 2 hours away. Looking forward to a fun family get together this Easter Sunday.

So a most terrific Taco Tuesday homies. Good morning, yes it is. Hope all you are having, or will be having a good morning too.

 

[macraven]

Now that sounds interesting!
It might be worth a watch if I can get my fat cat to get off my lap…

I have a feeling she is not going to budge anytime soon

We are finally getting a painter company to paint one of our rooms tomorrow
It has an angled ceiling of the house
Been here long enough in our house to where we are clearing out things we no longer need and sprucing up some of our rooms

Neither one of us enjoy home projects
We really stink on what we feel looks good and want something nice done in the upstairs room

 

[Lynne G]

Always nice to refresh the house, Mac. Hehe, I’d have cats but for a family member allergies. We are still thinking of getting a dog, well my family want dogs. Yeah, at least 2. Sigh. Empty nest thinking?

Oatmeal is just not the most satisfied of breakfasts. But did just now, open that animal crackers tub. Not a very sweet snack, but a tasty enough one with my tea.
