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

[keishashadow]

So glad to have pets to hug, corona protocol approved

Sunshine again here today, woot! We only average 3 full days of it a month in January & February here. Really does make a world of difference as to mood elevator IMO

Can`t see us being out anytime soon. Essential shopping only.

I’m reaching here for positivity , at least it’s winter?

thinking if we (collectively) had only done it right the first time, then minded our Ps & Qs over the fall holidays; we wouldn’t be treading water right now.

Lol re the hagrid meme

I`ve never made an apple crisp before....had one in Clearwater once and it was maybe a little too crisp, but I`m not fond of oats.

Oh, there are crisps, then there are crisps. Best way is over good vanilla ice cream. haven’t Indulged in years. May have to whip one up this week.

I was supposed to have a medical appointment this Friday, but decided to postpone it until next month. Today I learned that my practitioner has Covid. I don't know how severe her case is though.

A shame, have wondered how often office staff does test

I was a troll and looked up her Facebook page. If you have time to post to Facebook then you have time to email your buyer and let them know you will not be following through with the sale.

Just being smart. Renting books not common here, what a smart idea that is & far less OOP for parents upfront.

And even more interesting, many in the medical don’t want to be the first to get the vaccine. Some are concerned it was passed too fast before real long term trials done before vaccine available. I guess for me, would take the vaccine. While the side effects, a few requiring hospitalization, and even one known death, is not unusual enough that it is safe for the high majority.

Interesting, well, that’s an interesting word choice.

Most I know are absolutely clamoring for the vaccine & i’m Talking younger crowd too. I appreciate all who work in essential jobs, including direct patient care. However, it’s Mind boggling to me people who work in health fields & see the carnage still aren‘T entirely onboard.

Major players here in the past mandated if you don’t get a flu shot for ‘valid’ reasons, you are reassigned to non-patient contact. Know of two med techs who are loving the fact they are now in the back office vs patient care. Don’t want to ever go back to previous role

The military didn’t give you much of a choice in years’ past. Roll up that sleeve and soldier on. My DH did get mild case of swine flu back in the day from it. Would like to think their trials are more substantive in this day & age.

No idea what the military policy is now. Do think going forward, health providers may need to be very clear for those who seek employment that CDC recommended vaccinations are mandatory

Making up some chicken noodle soup for lunch today

A request for broccoli cheese. Lasagne sauce is simmering away. Will need to make something else for the mr who won’t touch red sauce.

I think we can hold off until February for ours to be done

Thot of you yesterday. Picked up some seeds - basil & spinach. Going to try to sprout on windowseal as our last frost day is near end of May. We always ‘cheat’ and start the hardier varieties earlier. Looked at the package stated frost dates...lucky you, could be planting in early March

Em will be 40 on Thursday. We were going to Rome. Still will one day

Only way you can look at it these days. You’ll get there

Keisha your granddaughter looks like she cleaned up again in competition. I know you all are proud of her. She is a cutey.

Yes. Felt bad for her tho. They hit a deer yesterday on way to day 2 of the meet, windshield bad enough they wound up picking it out of her hair. She saw the deer die in ugly fashion.

Happened less than a mile from the gum. EMT thot she may have been in mild shock as her eyes were dilated and heartbeat a bit wonky right afterwards when he assessed her. Bounced right back as she was working the meet that day, but she seems a bit brittle today. Doing cyber school here, going to keep her busy. Let her decorate the holiday tree for Valentine’s Day & maybe a game later. Ugh

Then, their furnace went out last night. My son is in ATL. Will be lucky if DiL doesn’t run away lol. I have both GD & their dog now this week . Thankfully, the two pooches wore themselves out and taking a snooze.

Keisha hope the hand is continuing to heal up nicely.

Thank you, it’s coming along. Was able to find exercises on the net that seem to be doing the trick as to flexibility.

Is you GS enjoying that new ride? [/QUOTE]

 

[macraven]

Hope you get that warm up Lynne!
When you retire, do you plan to stay in the North?

We had planned to stay in southern Illinois or northern Kentucky when we first thought about moving.
We wanted warmer weather


Robo, bet you are glad to be out of the car... such a long drive for you for your destination.
No more snow for you!

Keisha, well, did your dil get to keep the deer?
They do down here.
Good to read dil/gd were not injured!

Hope Bobbie is close to packing up her house soon.

For the homies that I did not reply to, sending you hugs !
( no worries, I was swabbed and no cooties)

 

[Lynne G]

Ah, Keisha, that saying, when it rains, it pours. Sending some good thoughts to DS. Hope GD and driver are okay. Very scary, as going to college just North of you, always knew someone hitting a deer with their car. DH had one and did quite the damage to his truck. And yeah. Kinda karma deer story. My sister lives in rural neighborhood, so has her mailbox nailed on wooden pole at end of driveway. Well, the mailbox was falling off, so she used that McGyver trick of using some rope to fix it to the pole. That night, she hears a boom. Went out to see what happened the next morning. Seems a car hit a deer, deer took out the mailbox and dead deer left for her. Hence that need for a new mailbox, something she was hoping was not needed with her fix. Had to laugh, but guess she was glad it was not a new mailbox.

Mac, not sure. Will be years before I retire, as kids need to be on their own. We may be like Robo and have a home down South, but stay up here some of the time, then maybe full time in that second home. DH does not care if I buy another home, but not sure if he will ever want to live there full time. But we shall see. He may be more inclined after his mom is not here anymore. She’s 85, so my in 10 years retirement plan, may be what I do.

Lunchtime walk time. Ah, looking more overcast, but sunglasses will be worn.

Enjoy your Monday afternoon homies.

 

[Realfoodfans]

Glad your GD had no injuries Keisha. We had a very near miss in Scotland when a deer leapt over a wall from a forest and we literally missed it by a second. Yes we will get to Rome again. Kev and my favourite city in the world I used to go with work - but Em has not been yet.

Here testing of frontline workers does not seem to be set in stone. DIL (who worked for Virgin) now works in our main medical centre. They keep changing advice to them all the time.
My brother still works at Astra Zeneca and they are tested every day.
Local hospital shouting out tonight for nurses or HCA to help as so many staff unwell or isolating.

We have a really good patchwork shop a few miles away and I’m cross I didn’t visit before we were locked down again as I want to make a start on a quilt for DS & DIL baby - if I don’t get started it definitely won’t be ready for May as I want to hand sew.

Our Cottage Pie was tasty and comforting followed by more of the Christmas chocolate etc as I need it all eaten up!

[/QUOTE]

Now the furnace? They are having a run of doo doo luck.....good luck wishes on the way for them......you`ll have fun with little one though, and the pooch too......

Kyle isn`t fond of anything with tomato sauce, so yes, if we make lasagne, I usually have something different for them. We have the time.......but, brocolli I could never keep Kyle going with it, he ate so much of it, still does.

We have lemon basil to try growing this year. So far herb wise only had luck with basil, chives, rosemary and something else.......can you tell I hate gardening......lol......the guy who does most of it has been poorly for months (not covid) so when he`s back we`ll ask him to guide me......oh my other success is a little infinity chilli pepper plant.....I`m amazed it has survived for so long. Hope yours grows well......love spinach. And love the sound of the Valentine tree....she`ll enjoy that.




No idea where my other quotes went ........but Lynne, funny deer story.....any idea where in the South you`d fancy living when you retire? You have plenty of choice for sure.



Watching Rush Hour 2 tonight.......funny film.

Spent some time on Facetime earlier chatting to some friends. One is struggling a little with the lockdown, so we are all doing as much as we can for her. She is a University Lecturer and very open about her issues to all he students, so they have always felt comfortable talking to her about their issues. Lovely lady.

Strawberry spritzer tonight to drink......blitzed strawberries and sparkly lemonade.....not in the least like champagne......but, it`s nice.

 

[Charade67]

I sat down to write a post, closed my every for just a moment, and woke up an hour later. Oops.

Before I fell asleep Caspian was sleeping on the sofa, or so I thought. Suddenly he jumped up, launched himself across his climbing structure and into the window. This is what our blinds look like now.


I have no idea what he was after, but he kept looking out the window for it for at least another half hour.

I wonder if you did have some ice cream

I was really good an only ate once spoonful.

I’m not ready for lawn work starting again this soon

neighbors across the street from us mowed his grass yesterday

I think we can hold off until February for ours to be done

Lawn work already? I think we will be able ot hold off until at least April.

Em will be 40 on Thursday. We were going to Rome.

Happy birthday to Em. Sorry you had to cancel plans.

They hit a deer yesterday on way to day 2 of the meet, windshield bad enough they wound up picking it out of her hair. She saw the deer die in ugly fashion.

Yikes. Glad everyone is okay. I have never hit one, but come close.

SO apparently I am considered to be a health care worker even though I am just administration. This morning I got a text from my boss stating that I could call and schedule a vaccine. I'm scheduled for the first shot on Thursday.

Can you get replacement slats easily Charade? Something must have been irritating him.

Glad to hear you`re getting the vaccine and so soon, as you should.





Looks almost tropical today, we have to get 42F and the sun is shining. So a walk is planned this morning for our once a day out of the house rule. Hat, gloves and scarf will all be worn. Think we`ll head to the beach as the woods behind us will be waterlogged as we`ve had so much rain in the last weeks.

Thai chicken and shrimp curry tonight, although I`m cheating and using a ready made paste from the ethnic store. It`s very good and ideal when you can`t get the fresh ingredients like galangal. I`ll add my own kaffir lime leaves on top. Love coconut milk based curries. Just for the two of us though.

As with most, not much going on here at all.......but glad it`s a bit nicer so we can get out in the fresh air without it being baltic.

Have a lovely Tuesday


​

 

[Realfoodfans]

Good morning all. Beautiful bright and sunny day here though cold.
Up early for J to school and lots of tasks done so Em and L can do home schooling in the kitchen without my inter
So lamb shanks in the slow cooker with veggies (just for us two as Em will have pasta and GC not here).
Bed changed and throws washed and dried from living room.
Shopping order for tomorrow updated.
Kev is replacing a dripping tap washer and I’m now sat with my coffee and a warm dog on my knee.
I’m considering going along on the dog walk later if it stays so nice. Need to start building my energy levels.
@Charade67 glad you will get the vaccine. My DIL has been offered it but being pregnant there is still discussion if it is safe. Apparently working in surgeries is one of the hotspots for catching.

Hope everyone is doing well x

 

[Lynne G]

Good Morning Schumi and Julie. Glad to hear you are having a sunny day after all that rain and snow. Is too will be close in temp and full sunny day here. 25F out now, yeah I do like a clear sky though. With the clear sky and not too warming sun, 43F is our high. So, I will also be out, with my light weight winter coat, hat and yay, sunglasses.


Hope everyone is enjoying some tea or coffee this morning. And ah yes, a Taco Tuesday is here.

Yay, the day Mac has her Taco Bell dinner. So homies, have a taco or two today. Or, enjoy some lamb with Julie, or curry dinner with Schumi. Think I may like Em, and a pasta dinner. Last night, steaks on the grill, they were huge, and white rice with steamed vegetables. I am not sure any was left over. Steak was delicious.

Thus, this early morning for me means tea. Yay! So, as will see what to have for breakfast. One nice part of no commute, not having to forget to bring the food I wanted. Hence, a wander into kitchen, and check the teapot level.

Have that awesome Taco Tuesday,

And hope Charade’s cat stopped thinking what out the window was so interesting. Hey, at least the lion the keeper figured out was seeing the goats. Pretty good eyesight. See cats are still those hunting cats.

Yes, it`s gorgeous with the sunshine, but it`s colder than it looks. Out of the sunshine it`s freezing....wrap up warm if you do go out.

I did put sunglasses on this morning too, still such a low sunshine for now, it`s hard to avoid. Enjoy that tea......I`m nursing a cup right now.




Home made soup for lunch today, butternut sqush and sweet potato, with some of my cornbread. Nice after a cold walk.

 

[Charade67]

Quick hello before heading out to work.

Can you get replacement slats easily Charade? Something must have been irritating him.

I'm not sure.I've never replaced blind slats before. We were thinking about replacing the blinds at some point. I would like to get cordless ones.
My guess is that cat saw birds fly by our window.

And hope Charade’s cat stopped thinking what out the window was so interesting.

Last night he was clawing at the curtains. Dh threatened him with the water bottle not knowing that he had his claw stuck on the curtain. Caspian ran and nearly took the curtain with him. Then one of the slats from the blinds fell to the floor. it was both annoying and hilarious at the same time.

 

[keishashadow]

Only good thing about Tuesday is A) waking up & B) tomorrow is hump day.
Lasagne pronounced a hit, best thing...leftovers today. Will just need to make burger for the mr. Haven’t settled upon lunch offering yet. Amazes me how much a little girl can eat & be pin-thin almost like a teenager.

An entire department at the mr’s work is shut down due to infection. Feel bad for the office peeps who have been sent out onto the floor & have been told “to make steel”. Feel worse for the companies that get stuck with that product. Have a feeling there’s a lot of that going on in general in this country right now eek.

Attention: Checkin time for the sickies...hope all are doing relatively well

Keisha, well, did your dil get to keep the deer?

The roadkill? Generally, it’s only those who live south or east of here who enjoy scraping that delicacy up off the pavement. Yeehaw, wash it down with some moonshine

One of the better mailbox stories. Here, every now & again, the teens get bored and decide to play ‘baseball’ with them. Popularity of the ring cameras seem to be putting an end to that crap

we’ve crossed moving permanently south off our list. Had toyed with it but between my elderly mom & not wanting to miss out on the time with kids & my GD, just don’t think I’d be happy.

Do like to travel but anything over 11 days or so has me feeling quite homesick. snowbirding may be in our cards as long as we could find the right place to accept a pooch.

Had to lol autocorrect had snowbirding come up as “snowboarding” They’d find us in pieces at the end of the slope at this stage of the game.

That is a good one. Game control is usually pretty good here at coming to scoop up the mess in timely fashion

Now the furnace? They are having a run of doo doo luck.....good luck wishes on the way for them......you`ll have fun with little one though, and the pooch too......

Doo doo luck. I’m gong to steal that one

She couldn’t even get a HVAC company to come out yet. Busy time of year. I’m thinking more than of few them were probably hung over from the previous night late football game & called off work.

Hope yours grows well......love spinach. And love the sound of the Valentine tree....she`ll enjoy that.

It came out quite nice. We do the good luck pickle in our xmas trees. She dreamed up a ‘heart queen’ home made one using foam & glitter into a mini book. It had a short tale about the finder having good luck etc. figure she was bored out of her mind but i’ll Treasure it

Before I fell asleep Caspian was sleeping on the sofa, or so I thought. Suddenly he jumped up, launched himself across his climbing structure and into the window. This is what our blinds look like now.

That is so funny. Looks like the wooden blinds I had made, gosh decades ago. They still look like new from faithful oiling of them, so well made. You know he had to really have lurched to get them to break that way.

Looks almost tropical today, we have to get 42F and the sun is shining. So a walk is planned this morning for our once a day out of the house rule. Hat, gloves and scarf will all be worn. Think we`ll head to the beach as the woods behind us will be waterlogged as we`ve had so much rain in the last weeks.

A little early for spring break shenanigans but go for it . Have found myself grabbing the now not approved gaiters & repurposing them as scarves.

Caspian ran and nearly took the curtain with him. Then one of the slats from the blinds fell to the floor. it was both annoying and hilarious at the same time.

Oh my! Long ago one of my cats managed to get his head into the handle of a plastic grocery bag. He ran thru house in panic, same as me as I thought he was going to catch on something & break his neck. Took to cutting the handles when I unpacked groceries from then onwards.

 

[Lynne G]

Keisha think you were doing some wonky cut and paste. Glad to hear dinner was a hit. Yeah, since she lives on an interstate, the county road patrol removes the hit animals from the road and roadsides. But yeah, when I was living out your way, long ago now, many in the town were poor, as many lost jobs when the steel companies went belly up. Hence, they would patrol the roads, as a freshly killed deer, was worth a freezer of food. I think a couple years after I left, it has been illegal to do that. Since we grew up with a City raised mom, venison was never a menu item. I had a friend give me venison chili, was not fond it, and any game food. But we do have deer even in the park near me. Never did see one in our neighborhood yet. My sister’s property, yep, deer can be seen almost daily.

All this chat of food, snack search will now commence.

And a SAN: kids are still not awake.

 

[macraven]

It’s way too early for your kids to get up Lynne.
School break time means sleep in each morning and lucky if you are up at noon

 

[keishashadow]

Never did see one in our neighborhood yet. My sister’s property, yep, deer can be seen almost daily.

We have enough dog urine in fenced in part of our yard to repel deer from that area. The front yard’s planting’s are a smorgasbord. More than I realized via said ring camera. Lucky if i do get to see my tea roses bloom in the spring, the burning bush is another favorite snack.

Planted daffodils in an attempt to repel them. Have our fair share of slugs but discovered it the squirrels that were the culprits. Poisionous, won’t eat them, just smart enough to destroy them.

At this point have decided to just co-exist via an uneasy truce

 

[Lynne G]

Yeah, my sister too, Keisha. Tried to plant deer resistant plants and just puts up with the fact they eat some of her plants and greenery.

Ooh Tandycake found. Snack eaten, and yay, almost lunchtime.

Sounds a lovely thing Keisha, and yes something to treasure.....Oh I saw the result of that game, well I think it`s that game you`re talking about.....hope she has it sorted sooner rather than later.

You paint quite the picture of roadkill.....yuk......I often wonder how folks know it`s not diseased in some way. It`s not a thing over here at all. Even up in the Highlands of Scotland where they have fantastic beasts.






It is so cold outside today, popped out to the trash and walked down to where the shed is......grass is still saturated, it`ll take a time to dry out. But, I think it`s got colder since this morning. Snow forecast again on Thursday.

Looking forward to our curry tonight.........usually served with a nice white wine, but it`s an elderflower and raspberry spritz tonight.......

 

[Lynne G]

Ah yes, still a Dry January day, Schumi. Still sounds good.

Ah, soups for us too, though vegetable and chicken noodle. You can guess why 2 soups. Yeah, little one only one who won’t eat vegetable soup. And older one grilled bacon grilled cheese sandwiches, and yes, little one had crackers.

Was a cool but nice lunchtime walk. Very bright out, with a beautiful blue sky. Was happy to be warm inside though. Will be woot when 55 the high predicted on Friday, before what they say, polar vortex coming soon. Brrr, no thank you.

SO apparently I am considered to be a health care worker even though I am just administration. This morning I got a text from my boss stating that I could call and schedule a vaccine. I'm scheduled for the first shot on Thursday.

My wife got her 1st shot, she got text notification for second shot on Tuesday next week when we get back, complained of soreness in her arm for a day or two. They warned her that side effects could be stronger since within 90 days of being Covid-19 positive, 3 out of 5 of us tested positive in our house, 2 youngest had symptoms but never tested positive, lucky me I had the worst case of it and it is miserable, I giggle when folks say, yeah I think I had it, believe me if you get it and show only some of the moderate symptoms you’ll know and wish you didn’t have it.

Oh they had to have all of the positive and negative test results from each of us and dates when they gave her the first shot.

 

[Monykalyn]

Tuesday and 2021 HAS to be better right?
Sunday was funday in parks, shopping for kiddo, dinner at the Italian place. Last Hagrids ride too- posted 60 minutes but think it was half that. Hit the favorites and got the suit in MiB. Up early Monday to catch 7am flight home- full flight but very smooth boarding and landed 10 minutes early.
Had taken Monday off as I figured I be tired and need to do some laundry etc. Turns out DH had washed all bedding and cleaned carpets- dog got into something and was sick. Ah well he’s fine now and everything steam cleaned. We were talking about a spring break trip/birthday trip but may just to staycation and put the money towards finally getting hardwood floors.
Then yesterday afternoon oldest Alysa called in tears- had been having severe stomach pain for 3 hours at that point. Finally talked her into at least scheduling a telehealth visit - but she waited until AFTER her lab she was teaching! Short version- she ended up with a laparoscopic appendectomy last night, Due to time difference it was 2 am here before we heard she was out of surgery and ok. She didn’t get released until an hour ago as she was nauseated with food and her blood pressure wouldn’t stay up in good enough range for them to be comfortable releasing her.

Bobbie hope the move goes well! Jealous of you and Robo being there, it my hubs is like Lynne’s and doesn’t want to move there- full time at least.
Dang it lost my quotes from posting too quick!
