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

[Realfoodfans]

Good afternoon all. I’m still unwell so have booked for a Covid test this evening. I am still so weak and not eating which is not like me! I think
I have flu and that has affected my colitis as every part of me aches. Kev wants us to rule Covid out as he’s concerned I’ve not improved.

Carole I send heartfelt condolences to all your family. A shocking loss at such a young age. Totally devastating for you all.

Luckily no plans so I’m not letting anyone down.

Take care all x

Thank you realfood.......I’ve spoken to my brother this morning and they are all completely devastated.

Hope you feel much better soon, a Covid test is a good idea for sure. Having no appetite isn’t fun, but flu aches and pains are horrible......fingers crossed you improve soon.......

Today is the mr’s last day of vacation, sad. I’m at the point where I’m getting so excited for him to retire. Should be this time next year

“Just” another handful came up positive at the nursing home. believe all there are now being tested at least 3 times a week, eek. New national stats came out...1 in 1,000 US citizens has been diagnosed.

Charade - lol that is funny re your mr. too much snow to head out to check out the hallmark sales for me. It was pretty slim pickings on their website. Thinking perhaps more people nesting at home made decorating more popular this year.

Lynne other than NFL (oh, please not another loss today for us lol), may stretch out another day of leftovers & maybe start some turkey soup.

Did redeem a few gift cards online yesterday. Normally, wait but with this economy afraid some of them may close entirely. It was strange, put in a pickup order for a few books @ nearby Barnes & Noble around 10 am yesterday...email confirmation received they were ready for pickup within 20 minutes. Years past, it would be so busy with after Xmas shoppers. DiL was out to exchange a few things, said it was dead at the mall.

Our basement is divided into 4 big sections and the water came in the section farthest away from our washer and dryer. It was close to our big deep freezer, but that's up on a pallet so it would've been safe. Everything else is up higher, but we usually don't get flooding so this was not the norm for us.
We still had at least 2 feet of snow in some areas in our yard so that melting plus the rain just saturated the ground so much there was no where for it to go.
I don't live near the river, but one of my dd's does. The flood gates were put up two days ago and roads are closed. It's supposed to crest at 32 feet.... minor flood stage is 22 feet, and major flood stage is 28 feet. She's on a mountain above the river so she's safe, but she may not be able to get to work tomorrow.

That's sad. The wave that went through my family member's nursing home is over. They had over 90% of residents get it, and nearly all staff, except my family member. She's set to get the vaccine next week. I believe only one fatality in the residents. They still get tested twice a week.
My youngest dd's boyfriend's father will get it next week. He's a firefighter and considered front line.

First off, love the new avatar!

All our electrical up on pallets in the basement. Only in the early spring do cracks materialize in basement floor & ground water pushes up thru. First year in home was a bit alarming but after a day or two everything reverts. DH did dig out a french drain on the one of of sub levels that is fully below ground, solved that issue nicely. No sump pumps needed here, thankfully.

Lovely to see some nice posts from Vicki and damo who we don`t often see.......I haven`t quoted everyone I`d like to.......but nice to see you......

It is really nice to see the more infrequent posts stop by, don’t be strangers. This is such a grand thread, love how it’s a place of refuge & positively. Unlike so many other ones, generally, you can relax and let your hair down without needing to keep a weather eye out for toxic personalities waiting to pounce. I cannot remember the last time I dipped my toe into the CB waters. Just too much effort lol

Good luck! Unfortunately, covid trumps everything else right now. you do you; your family will middle thru just fine!

Julie, since you have colitis, get it checked out
Both my parents had it so I’m aware how serious it can become.

When colitis is affecting your life and how you feel,
You need to pursue the matter with your medical team

sending gentle hugs...

 

[macraven]

Good morning homies!
Next big day in our lives is New Years Eve

It will be here in a flash.

 

[Lynne G]

Julie, sending lots of well wishes. And yes, get the test, just to know. Aches and pains are awful. Rest, take some pain medicine, and keep hydrated. I hope whatever virus is keeping you not well, will be out of you very soon.

Neither kid is up. And third day in a row, heard morning fire whistles. Random news. SAN.

Yep Mac. A week day ending new year day. How nice is that? And the weekend following that, means a long week to return to my week day routine. But no matter, another holiday is in January, after the holiday new year one.

Yeah Keisha, week day routine for me, is still on that about 10 year countdown to retire. DH retired once, and most likely will retire again when I do. It is that whammy when ever a break ends. But at least teleworking has changed that routine a little, including casual Friday clothing, ah sweet. Oh, and if you looked closer, my beard wearing older one was wearing his slippers. Pajama time, indeed.

 

[Monykalyn]

Late but Merry Christmas, been busy this past week cramming 5 days of work into 3, with extra too! My last nursing home that was covid free has a mini outbreak. And scheduled to start vax this week! SO CLOSE, all asymptomatic thankfully. Turned in my consent form - guess I’ll find out when I may be scheduled his week when I go in for the covid swabs (will be glad I won’t -hopefully- have to do that anymore after vax!)

Dog enjoyed opening his present. And a sampling of different cookies we baked, daughter did the Instagram picture

hugs to those who’ve lost family- always devastating. And well wishes to those under the weather! Thankfully we are out of the dang deep freeze and back to usual.

Yes, always nice to see the friendly faces pop by.......oh yes, the CB is not always a nice place.......This thread that our mac created and keeps running is enough. She is our Queen of the thread for sure......

I think this is the first year we didn’t give or receive gift cards......yes, just in case.

You‘ll love having your mister retired......we still think Tom retiring early was the best decision we ever made......loved every second.

Was thinking of you last night, we got out the Abbott & Costello box set and watched meets the killer Boris Karloff and then Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde too......love a good old black and white movie.

Good morning homies!
Next big day in our lives is New Years Eve

It will be here in a flash.

Goodness I had completely forgotten NYE. Guess that’ll be a quiet one too this year. We will wait up till midnight to make sure this year does disappear.......open some champagne and then hop to bed.....


@Monykalyn Good to see you here.......always nice to see you post.....nice pictures and glad things are going well......




Apparently we have a risk of snow this afternoon. The high winds dissipated during the early hours, to be replaced by cold air.

Turkey for the third time.........after this we all voted for steak tomorrow night........no more turkey till the New Year. And we forgot to eat a slice of Christmas cake the other day. Will have a little today, I’m not a huge fan of it, but always have a little piece.

Mid afternoon pot of tea time......we are watching Peter Ustinov in a Hercule Poirot movie.....always amusing.

 

[Lynne G]

Ooh, always enjoy reading Schumi’s post, and she always has me with the mention of tea. Yeah, turkey no more in our house. Little one would vote for a nice steak every dinner. May be doing burgers, as while we had done early morning rain, the sun is out. Mind you, it is not providing much heat. Cool day for us. But 🕶 needed, so happy with my lightweight winter coat.

 

[mckennarose]

Morning all! Quiet day here, following a quiet day yesterday. Nothing on the radar for now, but hubby is out at the store.

Hope you`re doing ok......I read about your flood.....how dreadful, and hope you and your daughter too can avoid any more damage tomorrow, it does sound awful.

We're fine, thank you. Our basement is cleared of all water and dry. The river crested lower than expected, at 25 feet, and the flooding was minor so dd was able to get to work today.

How awful. Hope you didn't get much damage.

None at all, thank God. We caught it quick enough, although hubby was up off and on all night checking it.

Good afternoon all. I’m still unwell so have booked for a Covid test this evening. I am still so weak and not eating which is not like me! I think

I hope you feel better soon! I think it's a good plan to get tested.

First off, love the new avatar!

Thank you! It's one of 4 new Disney New Year's designs I made. I wish I was in Epcot for New Years, it's always been on my bucket list.

Little one would vote for a nice steak every dinner.

I'll join her! Steak is one of my favorite things to eat.

 

[Charade67]

Quick hello. We are getting ready to get lunch. No other plans for the day yet.

Charade, I guess Ireland is on your mind for travel? At least you get to see Irish scenic pictures every month, next year. Each one of you.

I would love to visit Ireland sometime. My father's family came from Northern Ireland, I believe. Actually, I would love to visit all three of the countries represented by those calendars.

Love the England and Scotland calendar.......the front of the England calendar is a picture of one of the most beautiful villages in the Cotswolds we visited in October. Least you have plenty of calendars around the home now.....

Sadly, only Ireland will stay home. Scotland will go back to school with B and England will probably go to dh's office.

Good afternoon all. I’m still unwell so have booked for a Covid test this evening. I am still so weak and not eating which is not like me! I think
I have flu and that has affected my colitis as every part of me aches. Kev wants us to rule Covid out as he’s concerned I’ve not improved.

Prayers for a negative Covid test and that you start feeling better soon.

Charade - lol that is funny re your mr. too much snow to head out to check out the hallmark sales for me. It was pretty slim pickings on their website. Thinking perhaps more people nesting at home made decorating more popular this year.

I had a bunch of ornament in my shopping cart online waiting for the price to drop. When I went to buy them after midnight most had already been sold out. I'm most disappointed that I didn't get the Anamaniacs one.

. I wish I was in Epcot for New Years, it's always been on my bucket list.

We were at Magic Kiingdom one year for NYE. It was fun, but extremely crowded.

No plans for New Year's eve yet. We will probably just have a quiet evening at home.

 

[keishashadow]

Oh, and if you looked closer, my beard wearing older one was wearing his slippers. Pajama time, indeed.

I did notice his moccasins (sp), can’t wear anylonger as no support but always liked them and would nip out of house in them from time to time if I had chauffeur one of the kids

And scheduled to start vax this week! SO CLOSE, all asymptomatic thankfully. Turned in my consent form - guess I’ll find out when I may be scheduled his week when I go in for the covid swabs (will be glad I won’t -hopefully- have to do that anymore after vax!)

Lucky you, still no word here on any for the nursing homes. Makes no sense as such a large health center in the state.

You‘ll love having your mister retired......we still think Tom retiring early was the best decision we ever made......loved every second.

Was thinking of you last night, we got out the Abbott & Costello box set and watched meets the killer Boris Karloff and then Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde too......love a good old black and white movie.

I may lobby for it to happen sooner vs later. Will be very quiet here the next few days. Nice, we watched the new Wonder Woman movie. A long one it was. Will file that under if you can’t say anything nice...

Turkey for the third time.........after this we all voted for steak tomorrow night........no more turkey till the New Year. And we forgot to eat a slice of Christmas cake the other day. Will have a little today, I’m not a huge fan of it, but always have a little piece.

Last day for turkey & ham but did finish off the turkey soup for tomorrow. Will thaw out beef veggie version for the mr.

Mid afternoon pot of tea time

Nice, just had a cup of chia. Never a fan but the mr bought two different twinnings varieties for my stocking. Not sure where he found them, have never seen in the grocery story. Surprised I liked it, never much of a fan of chai in past

I had a bunch of ornament in my shopping cart online waiting for the price to drop. When I went to buy them after midnight most had already been sold out. I'm most disappointed that I didn't get the Anamaniacs one.

That was a cute one. I’ve been disappointed with their website in general this year. Local B&M store closed in the fall. Used to get my snow baby music boxes & figurines there. Not that I don’t have enough but was nice to see what ones they rolled out each year. Have several disney themed ones.

 

[Lynne G]

Actually, Keisha they were just slippers, the men’s ones that look like those shoes, and a hehe, they have a penn state logo on the front. Had bought them for DH, but too big for him, but fit older one just right.

We had such a late brunch, no one hungry for dinner. Picking or foraging dinner again. Fine with me, as enjoying my black tea leaf tea. Not one who likes many different kinds of tea. And a lemon slice in it. Watching Dr. Who old episodes.

Sunday night homies. May your week ending year be fabulous.

And yes, the trash went out the door.

And haha,
Ba da.

 

[bobbie68]

And belated Merry Christmas! Thinking of everyone!! It has been a busy week with Christmas and ran into a hiccup with our house in CT for the sale. Hopefully we are on the right path to close on the 22nd or 25th. Our house in Florida is ready to go.

I am glad to see everyone tried to have the best holiday they could this year with everything going on. I know many have had health issues with family and themselves my thoughts are with you. My thoughts also go out to Sans family who have lost loved ones. I hope 2021 will be better for all.

I hope everyone has a nice evening and a good Monday morning start to the work week.

 

[Lynne G]

Oh Bobbie, nice to hear all okay, and hope house sale hiccup is done now, and sale is a go. Woot, for having new house all done and ready for you. Sending good thoughts that your move goes without any more hiccups. And hope your Christmas was nice.

 

[cam757]

I hope everyone had a nice Christmas. Ours was nice. DS was happy with his computer and DH was happy with his presents. We went to dh's grandmother's house at lunchtime to see family and exchange presents. Sadly, I think this is the last year it will be at his grandmother's. She is 93 and her health is failing rapidly and I don't see her being able to live on her own much longer. In the evening, we had Christmas dinner at my house. We had a nice rib roast and a fried turkey breast. A lovely meal. My desserts were a flop so I need to work on those.

Back to work tomorrow. Should be a quiet week. I have a few things I need to do to prepare for the candidates wanting to run in the local elections next year because they will be calling wanting their candidate packets after the first of the year. Otherwise, it should be pretty slow.

DH and his friend went on another fishing charter today. They were very late getting home. I thought we were going to have to contact the Coast Guard. The boat captain let them fish longer since it was the last trip of the season. They could not call because they don't get a cell signal that far out. DH finally text when they got within cell range which was about 20 miles from the dock. At that point they were already almost 3 hours late. I usually don't worry but this time, I was watching the clock. They went 50 miles offshore in 30 degree weather. 4 hour boat ride to where they were fishing and 4 hours back to the dock, not including actual fishing time, which was about 5 hours. No thank you!!! They did bring home about 30 huge black sea bass home and they had a good time so they were happy.

Since I expected him home much earlier I was planning on fish for dinner but we ended up having Bojangles. Oh well, fish tomorrow night.

DH has already gone to bed. I will watch another episode of George Gently. I have been watching so many comedies that I am ready to switch back to my detective stories for a bit.

Cam, yay for new laptop. There is something to be said about a real keyboard. Finger typing is so much slower for me. Hope all is going well with you and family.

Thanks Lynne!! Yes, it is much easier to type on a real keyboard than on a tiny phone "keyboard".

Good afternoon all. I’m still unwell so have booked for a Covid test this evening. I am still so weak and not eating which is not like me! I think

I love Hercule Poirot. I tried to get my son to name his parakeets Poirot and Capt. Hastings but that was a no go. Lol!

We're fine, thank you. Our basement is cleared of all water and dry. The river crested lower than expected, at 25 feet, and the flooding was minor so dd was able to get to work today.

That is good news! Glad it was not any worse.

How exciting. A great way to start the year.

 

[Charade67]

Made the mistake of taking a 3 hour nap today, so now I am wide awake.
Just ordered B's books for next semester. There are so many. One class has 6 books.

Dh has had another fun encounter with a student. Around 11:30 at night on 12/23 she emailed him asking why she failed his class. She thought she had a C average. Not even 30 minutes later she filed a grade appeal before he even had time to respond to her. Yes, she had a C average - for the assignments she actually turned in. She had neglected to turn in 2 assignments that made up a fourth of her grade. Yep, her grade appeal was denied.

Hi Bobbie. Sounds like you are very close to your big move. Hope everything goes smoothly for you.

 

[Lynne G]

Ah yes, a start of a new week day routine for Cam and I. Thankfully, a very short one for me.

And after a 4 day holiday weekend,


That’s for sure. But as any time back to routine happens, so yeah:



And so, laptop says server down. Yeah, must be tired from that long weekend too. Says connected, but not true. Back to trying to get online. Grrr.

Thus, tea drinking time, and wishing all the homies a Marvelous Monday.

And a bunch of wellness wishes for Julie.

And a fish fry for Cam. Quite the haul DH had. And happy to hear Christmas was nice.

We lasted about 8 minutes with Wonder Woman......

I have plenty of turkey frozen for meals for next year and some trays with turkey for soup, so may do turkey noodle soup on Sunday, always a hit.....

Oh yes, if you can get him to go early, that would be fabulous. Yes, quiet few days ahead here too.

I hope everyone has a nice evening and a good Monday morning start to the work week.

Things will work out.....I always think there`s an unwritten law everyone moving has at least one hiccup......our last most recent move was hilarious.......you wouldn`t believe the stress levels, but it was all sorted very quickly thankfully.....I think lawyers certainly like to add to drama.

Good luck though, it won`t be long till you`re living you`re life in the sunshine.

How exciting. A great way to start the year.

cam, so good to hear you had a lovely Christmas and all went well. How lovely at 93 your DH`s Grandmother still hosts! Wonderful to hear and wish her all the best if she does need to move into some kind of assisted living place. And good to hear food was so good.

And yes, I`d have been worried too.....fishing can be dangerous. But, glad you got some lovely fish out of the trip.....they`ll be gorgeous!

I love the Poirot TV show with Hastings and David Suchet too. The Peter Ustinov ones are quite humorous but among our favourites. The stars they got to appear in those movies are quite wonderful to watch. What did your son call the birds......I think those names would have been cool.

Hope you have a good week and it is fairly quiet........

Hi Bobbie. Sounds like you are very close to your big move. Hope everything goes smoothly for you.

Hope you got back to sleep Charade....I do love a nap, but try to stick to less than an hour and only in winter for some reason. But, you must have been very tired to snooze for 3 hours.







We are in the minuses temperature wise today. Woke up to frost this morning and right now it is a beautiful sunny day, but so cold. No need to go out today so we won`t.

Did some laundry, plenty of new items to wash before we wear them, and we did a few jobs around the house that needed doing.

Steak for dinner tonight, and we`ll have the same fillet steaks for New Years Day dinner too. But, we still have so many goodies left over that haven`t been eaten.....and healthy eating starts Saturday! Probably.

Also joining in with Dry January...no alcohol at all for the whole month......most of my friends are doing it too, and we give a donation to charity at roughly what we would have spent on alcohol. It doesn`t count if you already have the wine or alcohol in the home already, you just work out an amount and donate.
