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

[Sue M]

Not me.

Not me either. I’ll be 2 weeks at Disney in August.

 

[Charade67]

Just for giggles I priced a quick trip. Unless I get an unexpected raise soon I don’t think I can fit a trip into the budget. We are hoping for a Disney trip in 2021.

 

[Lynne G]

Ah, a Monday is upon us, and it is oh so dark still. Gone 3 days, and ooh the number of emails I had to go through. Took me more time than I was expecting. Oh well. Tidy now.

Yay, for Sue, to coming back home. Yeah, weird when you go from one place that does not recognizes day light savings to one that does. All loose that hour. LOL Safe travels, and happy you had a nice time enjoying that Mexican heat.

On a positive note. The cool feeling early morning commute will surely be a pleasant going home commute. High today is 70. YAY! But that big yay is short lived, as rain is coming, and lowering the temp to the 60's. And even more short lived, long term weather guy said, snow on Sunday. Sigh. The yo-yo temps of late winter, from 70 today, to 51 by a week from today. And from a sunny today, to a cloudy tomorrow 65, cloudy Wednesday 58 and cloudy Thursday 64, a rainy Friday warmer 69, clearing out Saturday 56, and snowy Sunday, all the way down to 52. With that lowest 51 next Monday's high, rain is forecast, so cool feeling wet will be as we start the next week.

Lots of plant bulbs are appearing on the shelves. Had to buy some. Will be planting in April or closer to May. It's suggested to wait until ground is not freezing. Yeah, with snow in the forecast, our ground will still be cold enough not to want to plant for at least another month. But happy to say, those bulbs already planted in the years before, are starting to say, hey, time to grow. Peeking green in my garden, up around 3 inches already. Spring, with nice weather is surely coming. Maybe we are doing that coming in like a lion, and going out like a lamb. Eh, that lion better not be bringing that late March snowstorm the almanac is predicting.

With that,
not really, more like and yeah,

homies, Good Morning. And yeah, dressed for that 70 today, so highly thinking turning on that heater. For just a little while. Ah, time for that second cup of tea.

May all find the time to smile today. Alive and kicking is a good thing. Have at it, it's a Monday, homies.

 

[schumigirl]

mac.....we used to love WD, but I lost interest when Negan came in. Tom lasted a season longer but ended up watching it through fast forward and could watch an episode in around 6 minutes. Yes, we get it on a Monday night here.....used to be hard to avoid spoilers from the night before.

You know I`m there in September......we arrive the 6th and leave Oct 1st.....I`ve got a cousin that's visiting then too for two weeks and she`s already asking when we can meet...….told her we don't make plans.....she already knows this.....and it`s March!!!! Ask me in September...….

Lynne is back to work today......hope it goes quickly.....we have some lovely flowers peeking through already, but it`s been so mild I`m not surprised. Daffodils have been out for over a week..



Went out today and only wandered around the grocery store for a short time.....no panic buying or sold out anything.

Beautiful day and very mild outside.......Tom is making me an egg white omelette for lunch and dinner, have no idea.....














Have a great Monday...…...

 

[Lynne G]

Yeah, my dinner plans are sometimes last minute decisions. Nice Tom made your lunch today, Schumi.

Yep, back to routine. Maybe I'll get a chance to say hello to ya, this Fall. Still tweaking but thinking 3rd or last week of September. Currently booked the last week, but really hoping the AP rate extends to RPR and/or PBH. Though would not mind a few days at SF, as I really enjoyed my stay there. Decisions.

 

[macraven]

No idea when ap rate will be extended for premier hotels
Could be July?
I’m already booked but will keep an eye on it

if any conventions cancels out, I can see ap to fill in the open rooms

 

[Lynne G]

Yeah Mac, I think it was in August last year. I am certainly doing that rinse and repeat, as I appreciate the hotels give a more than 5 days out, full refund.

 

[cam757]

Good Morning,

Well it is Monday again. It wasn't too hard getting up this morning with the time change. I tried to get to bed a little earlier and I think that helped.

Did anyone see the moon this morning? It was absolutely gorgeous. Very full. Whenever I see a moon like that it always reminds me of the Jimmy Fallon ride at UOR. Lol!!

DH felt well enough to go to work but he still sounds terrible. Thank you for all the well wishes. Hopefully he will be able to come home early. Back to work for me today but I am back to my 3 day work week. Thank goodness.

I am going to try to run to Wal Mart and Lowes on my lunch break. I am not going specifically for hand sanitizer but if I see some I am going to pick some up. I am not that concerned about catching anything, I am just concerned about the panic buying.


Nice day today. Low 70's and clear. Strip steaks and baked potatoes for dinner.

Have a great Monday!

Well wishes for your dh. I am absolutely no good at picking out colors. We want to repaint the inside of our house, but have no idea what to do with it. Right now it is in several shades of beige. Our living/dining area has an orange accent wall that we hate.

Thanks! Glad I am not alone when it comes to interior design. It is a very small bathroom so I wanted to keep it light so I painted a light gray with white trim. I still need to pick out flooring and a vanity. That gives me anxiety just thinking about it.

Hope your DH feels better quickly....oh I`ll come over and help you with colours and things that go together.....I LOVE doing that, and I`m told I`m pretty darn good at it....even if I say so myself!!!

Thank you! Come on over! I could use all the help I could get

We eventually found a few packages of Kroger brand toiler paper on an end cap. Not our usual brand, but we went ahead and got some.

Wow! That is crazy. That has been one of my biggest fears....that there would be a run on toilet paper and there would be none to find. I bought an extra pack this week just in case.

Who all is going to UO in the fall?

Unfortunately, not us. We will probably skip Florida this year. We have stuff we need to do around the house that we have been putting off (vacationing instead) so we are going to try to be good and just do a beach vacation this year. However.....should prices bottom out due to COVID-19 I may reevaluate that decision. I was checking prices for spring break and couldn't believe that there were still AP rates for RP available and airfare was really low......it is tempting for sure!

Just for giggles I priced a quick trip. Unless I get an unexpected raise soon I don’t think I can fit a trip into the budget. We are hoping for a Disney trip in 2021.

Us too! I priced a UOR trip yesterday and I was pleasantly surprised at the price. If it keeps going down, I may need to reconsider.

mac.....we used to love WD, but I lost interest when Negan came in. Tom lasted a season longer but ended up watching it through fast forward and could watch an episode in around 6 minutes. Yes, we get it on a Monday night here.....used to be hard to avoid spoilers from the night before.

I used to love WD too but lost interest after they started killing off the core characters. Carl was the straw for me I think.

 

[schumigirl]

cam, the moon tonight will be spectacular.

It`s the second largest super moon of the 3 this year. Called the Super Worm Moon......although we probably won`t see it where we live as it has to rain and be very cloudy later......typical......but impressive it will be tonight as it is the actual full moon.

Hope DH feels better every day.....it`s tough to be so low and have to go to work. Good luck finding a bargain...seen lots of folks bag a bargain in the US....over here not so much!!! Friends have been looking but flight prices are still the same.


Clouds are rolling in now....and wind getting up....

Time for a cuppa…….

 

[Lynne G]

Ooh tea, sharing with me , Schumi? While I have full sun day, and getting warmer as the day goes by, tea is always my drink, hot tea. Need a cup again too. Hope your evening is nicer, as wind winding up usually means, rain.

 

[macraven]

Sue, home yet?
Or hours away from it?

Cam, hope your better half does okay at work.
Maybe he will feel better when he returns home today.

 

[schumigirl]

Earl Grey tea tonight Lynne........

Yep, weather is wild and woolly......just got back in and glad to be in!!! And definitely no chance of seeing this super moon through that cloud.

Finally will be able to get my hair done on Friday......it’s almost half way down my back, I think this is the longest it’s ever been, really growing fast! Definitely needs a good cut and colour.

Earl Grey is calling......

 

[Lynne G]

Ack, schools all round me closing because of the virus. Scary times for sure. 10 in our county, including 2 doctors.

Grilled sandwiches for dinner. Chilling with a cup of tea too.

Cam, hope your DH is feeling better today.

May all have a peaceful evening.

 

[mckennarose]

Ack, schools all round me closing because of the virus. Scary times for sure. 10 in our county, including 2 doctors.

Oh wow!
Last I saw was 10 in PA total. 7 in your county, a new one today in the county type next to mine, and the two that were first reported.
I saw the cardiologist infected, didn't know about the second one. Yikes! I really hope it didn't spread to their patients. Stay safe!

They got another one across the river from us and she works at a Panera.......


Watching MIB, had youngest sons music concert tonight, it was Beatles themed, late dinner......wife is making goolosh!!!

 

[Charade67]

Late evening checkin. Today wasn't too bad. I got to work this morning to find that my boss had rearranged the office. It looks nice, but now I need to find where she's put everything.
I also discovered that one if my insurance issues has finally been resolved. This one goes back to March of last year. I'm still waiting on resolution for my huge 2018 problem though.

Eh, that lion better not be bringing that late March snowstorm the almanac is predicting.

Snowstorm? I hope the almanac is incorrect.

Went out today and only wandered around the grocery store for a short time.....no panic buying or sold out anything.

It's good to know that some places are being sane about this. It's
Getting out of hand here.

I am going to try to run to Wal Mart and Lowes on my lunch break. I am not going specifically for hand sanitizer but if I see some I am going to pick some up. I am not that concerned about catching anything, I am just concerned about the panic buying.

Same here. We picked up some Lysol wipes, paper towels, and toilet paper just so we would have some in case of panic buying. If I happen to find some hand sanitizer I will buy some for the office. I really don't like hand sanitizer, but will use it if I have no other choice. I much prefer basic soap and water.

Thanks! Glad I am not alone when it comes to interior design.

It is a very small bathroom so I wanted to keep it light so I painted a light gray with white trim. I still need to pick out flooring and a vanity. That gives me anxiety just thinking about it.

I'm terrible when it comes to colors. We are thinking about gray for our walls. We currently have an orange accent wall. We like the idea of an accent wall, but don't like the orange. It matches some of the stone in our fireplace, but we still don't like the color.

Ack, schools all round me closing because of the virus. Scary times for sure. 10 in our county, including 2 doctors.

Yikes! This is starting to get a little unnerving. Any idea how long the schools plan to stay closed? So far only 3 confirmed cases in VA and I think they are all in the northern part of the state.

had youngest sons music concert tonight, it was Beatles themed,

Sounds like you have a really cool band director.


Think I will try to get to sleep soon. I have not been feeling like myself today. Really tired and can't seem to shake a headache. Hopefully a god night's sleep will help.

 

[Lynne G]

McK, I think the 2 infected doctors work at CHOP, with 2, not sure who, are in critical care at UOP hospital. I hope all survive this terrible virus. Yeah, 7 I think is the number in our county. Way too many numbers of infected, after 0. One too many, that's for sure. Here's hoping all are healthy and feeling well.

Charade, hope your headache is gone, and had a good sleep last night. DH was not feeling well, so since his college he teaches night classes at is on Spring Break, he got home early. Ate dinner, and went to bed. This morning, he said that early night for him was just what he needed. Hope that is for you too.


With that, a totally happy Taco Tuesday to all the homies. Yep, that day of the week, Mac makes a Taco Bell run. Get your orders in.





And a funny:




So, time for tea. Cool enough inside, it's nice to have a cup of tea. And most pleasant out, 52 said the car. And oh so cloudy, it's really dark out. But hey, at least the rain is holding off until the evening. Clouds will most likely mean, no rocking the sunglasses today, but hey, that 66 high predicted, a nice Tuesday in March.

Later homies. May this morning find you happy, healthy and peppy.

 

[macraven]

Taco Tuesday
Woot!

 

[schumigirl]

Happy Tuesday all...….

Wet and windy here this morning, but incredibly mild.

Been out and finally bought the dvd Doctor Sleep. Loved the book so hoping the movie is as good....although not a fan of Ewan McGregor, but will get past that.

Either southern fried chicken or creamy peppercorn sauce chicken tonight.....haven`t decided which yet. Lunch is grilled brie, turkey and cranberry sandwiches.....feels like that kind of day.....no tacos here...… jk…….

Have a great day...…..

 

[Charade67]

Happy middle name pride day. Anyone else not celebrating with me? My mother thought my first and last names were long enough and I didn't need a middle name. Made it real difficult in the 80s when monogrammed everything was in style. My sister and I don't have middle names, but my brother does because he shares a name with our father.

Time to head off to work. I think the rain returns today. Boo! I just hope we don't get any Saturday when we go to BG.
