getting another quick stop in!!!
Made it to Orlando. Checked into resort then dashed to Jacksonville for grandsons bday party. Got back too late for grocery so quick stop at Walgreens to get a few items for breakfast.
I will live vicariously through your wonderful pictures! I hope you have an amazing holiday.
So sorry. I have neglected my duties. Please feel free to dock my pay. B and I started a new puzzle tonight and she insisted we finish it. We finished just before 1:00.
I would love to do some puzzles. Maybe over the winter, if things are still where they are I might have more time to do them. I used to do many puzzles years ago, but not for the last 15 yrs or so.
I don’t feel comfortable to shop yet — wish I did. Have had some success with online sales though. Got 2 lovely new pairs of Uggs. Got J & L wetsuits though they’ve only had chance to wear them once. Not sure when an opportunity will arise to wear it but bought a lovely mid length black dress for going “out out” as one of our comedians likes to say! Perhaps Christmas who
knows. Had two deliveries from Mountain Warehouse who sell mostly walking and leisure clothes. Some really reasonable shorts and t shirts for everyone (not shorts for me I always cover my legs unless they are in the pool.
I am comfortable going shopping if there are fewer people. Once it gets too busy, we leave. We went out yesterday to get some clothes for the youngest ds who is entering into gr.12. He knew where he wanted to go. Two stores in the mall and we were done. We went to
best buy to look at a chrome book...went in, looked at prices, compared a couple and left. we are extremely lucky here, very few active cases. I think we are around 9 right now in our city and in the county. So out of about 300,000 people, we are doing great. Now to keep it that way. Our lives are pretty much the way it was before the lockdown, only no international travel and travelling to other provinces is allowed in the western part of the country. We will see what happens once the kids go back to school with the safety measures put into place. It is such a fluid situation, and we will just go with the flow.
We have a surprise lunch today for two friends.......the ones who have the new puppy. It`s a surprise celebration as they have completed the sale on their business......they think they`re meeting us for lunch, but there will be 12 of us altogether....think it`ll be separate tables of 6, I`m not sure how they`ll work it at this restaurant.......but they have no idea this is for them.......other friend has organised it a little last minute to be honest, we just have to get them there......without them seeing the card and little novelty gift we got them. Large bag day too.
What an awesome surprise for your friends!!!! I hope you have a wonderful time
We haven’t been shopping much, but with college starting again, even though mostly online, little one did a good job of cleaning out her closet. It was time to fill in some of what she needed. We don’t stay long, most seem to wear mask correctly, and most seem to stay not close. We also try to stay away from any more crowded parts. And I have hand sanitizer in my bag, and I have used the hand sanitizers that all the stores we have been in, as they have them all around. We don’t eat or drink, avoid the food courts. I feel like it is an acceptable risk. Though we too have ordered online. I do think not being able to see and interact with others, is a huge mental stress. I am glad you are helping out your daughter.
We have been out and about. I am not too bothered by the whole thing. I do not like crowds of people and do not like being in malls/stores when they are busy. It is not the virus...but the energy. The family knows me, and when I have had enough of dealing with all the energy. They do poke fun at me at times for it ( in a good way ) and they know I will not change in that aspect. But yet, I can be in crowds at concerts, amusements parks...but the energy in those places is sooo different than at a mall or grocery store. It is weird....but that is me. I am unique in that way
Good morning fam! Back from Orlando safe and sound. We had the best time at WDW and UOR!
I will look forward to more pictures and stories about your trip!
Nephew is doing better, thank God. We've been busy finishing our fence now that we were able to get more posts. Who would've thought there would be such a shortage of pressure treated wood.
Re: hockey.... I've been trying to watch on and off. Still sad that the Pens are done, but the Flyguys are representing PA, so I'm ok with that. Still rivals though, but not as much as the Caps. I am also a big Bruins fan so happy they won yesterday, even without Tuukka Rask.
I am glad your nephew is doing better now. Such a scare and he is so young. I will keep sending positive thoughts that he makes a full recovery. As for hockey...once our teams are out, we tend to not watch either anymore. Your bruins are doing great!!!
@Sue M I know your pain about being unsure about next year!!! We were hoping to do multiple trips next year and into 2022. We will keep saving, and hope that we can travel without many restrictions upon returning home. That will be the big one for us. We can travel, but not do the quarantine upon returning home. Dh can not be away from work for such long periods of time. It makes me feel good the boarder is still closed, and probably will be for some times, but for us Canadians who was to escape our long cold winters, it will be along winter.
Just putzing and organising in a quiet house by myself and the dog. I have almost finished a project that has been sitting in my project room. I was waiting for some inspiration, but it never came, so I just did it a basic upcycle. I need to get it out of there. Hoping the fabric I ordered comes soon, and I can start on 2 quilts for a fall project.
Well, off to hang some new pictures. I found a great set of co-ordinating frames, and I want to get them onto the wall today. I ordered a couple new pictures if the granddaughter for my frames that I have specifically for her
The kids pick on me...that I have more pictures of her around the house, than I did of them while they were growing up. I also remind them that they were not nearly as cute or good as her
Well, I am off to do a few things on my to do list for today. Have a great day everyone!!!!!
. Plan on down time after doing laundry doing absolutely nuthin until youngest DS comes over, then I’ll grill the steaks. Week will start back up once the ‘lil gets dropped off again later tonight
