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

[schumigirl]

A few more days until February....

Looks like we got about 2 inches.

It does looks beautiful.......



Yes Lynne, lots of tea has been drunk today....one of those days the kettle has never been off. Sounds like more cold weather heading your way, and yes, the wind can make it so much worse. When that NE wind hits us from Siberia, we know all about it!




Busy day today........got a lot done though, which is always nice. And managed to have an hour or so just reading. Almost finished the book, will be glad to see the back of The Idiot......fingers crossed. Usually we have a good discussion about the books our group reads, but think there`s only going to be 3 of us left reading it, it`s not so bad.

Rain has stopped, but still very grey outside and looking forward to dinner tonight....it`s a while since I made pulled pork.

And as mac says, it`s almost February.......

 

[Lynne G]

Aww, the month of Love will start the work week, next week. And chances of snow to welcome us to February. Then the next week’s Taco Tuesday we will be celebrating our 29 years of married love. We tend to go out to dinner, the two of us. This year, nope. Takeout, yeah probably, but then for family, not the two of us. Perfect, either way.

Gosh, cannot believe 2021 and February next week. Time is certainly marching along.

Looked outside, then dashed outside to throw a bag of trash out. That made me decide it was too cold to do my outside walk. So, walked into the kitchen to get lunch. Yay, my lunchtime walk. LoL

Hope all are enjoying this Thursday. And yes, very thankful for a Friday off.

My dash outside also included a smile, very sunny bright day. Well, and a squint too, that wind. Brr.

Gkad to hear Schumi almost done her book club book, and rain has stopped.

Bacon will be tomorrow Mac. Speed week day breakfasts are usually not in a skillet. Oatmeal was my breakfast, with some brown sugar and walnuts. Did the job, even if kinda boring. Hope you are feeling good, and enjoying the family in the parks. Perfect not too warm weather you seem to be having.

Chicken for lunch. We have red sauce, so made it parmigiana. Yum.

Now what for dinner. Hmm.

 

[macraven]

It’s a great big beautiful tomorrow.....
Just came out of that show and still singing it

no crowds at the Motherland right now!

no wait for Buzz Light year

sunny but still jacket weather right now

Lunch at Tony’s at 1:50

Will hit a few rides more before then

Nice you have your anniversary coming up.....yes, everything`s a little different this year. We are 29 years married this year too, as is Janet. It was a good year for weddings.

It does sound like you are having a lovely trip.....and your weather looks so good!



hey Tink.......hope all is good with you........



Golly, I have no idea where this month has gone.

Dinner was delicious. Always love to see clean plates. Dishwasher won`t have much work to clean them tonight.

Pot of tea time and some of the Viennese Whirl biscuits I made today. We like them.....

 

[schumigirl]

Been watching memorials and tributes to those who lost their lives on the Challenger disaster 35 years ago today......golly, 35 years! I remember that as if it was yesterday.

Time really does go past so quickly.

The tribute to Challenger and her crew are one of the most emotional of all the displays at KSC. We really look forward to going back on our next trip. One of the most amazing places we`ve ever been.

Rain is back on....kinda......looks murky more than solid rain, we call it smirry rain.....

Watching CSI-NY again......gotta love Lt Dan in anything......

 

[Charade67]

Most of our snow is already gone, but we are supposed to get more on Sunday. I should probably go to the grocery store tomorrow and stock up on French toast supplies.

I remember the day the Challenger exploded. I was going to get lunch at the Baptist Student Union at Georgia Tech. They had the launch on TV. A bunch of us stopped to watch, and then just stood there in horrified silence as we watched it happen.

The meat I was planning to cook for dinner is still frozen. I guess we will grab something out tonight and cook tonight’s food tomorrow.

 

[macraven]

Well back at the hotel now doing a very late dinner

Weather was wonderful until about 5-6
Cold for me about 5:30
Miserable for me by 6:00

I’ve been southernised (if there is such a word)



it’s in the low 50’s now which is not all that bad as I could be somewhere that has icky weather
(Snow, storms, freezing weather)

But it was still a super day for me.
It’s always great to be with family!

And it’s just special to be here with all the homies each day.

Good night and sweet dreams!

I love french toast.....haven`t had that for ages.

Yes, I remember that disaster clearly too. It was one of those that just made you freeze on the spot, not quite believing what you were seeing.

Hope you got something nice for dinner.

I like the idea of being Southernised........I don`t think I`d last very long in genuinely cold places like Russia!

It`s lovely you are having such a wonderful time with the family.........





Think we have to get some cloudy sun today and around high 40`s which isn`t too bad. Going out a drive this morning, within the distances allowed and might head down and park at the beach for a walk if it stays decent.

I also need flour as I plan to make a sweet naan bread for tomorrow night, making an Indian curry for us. Will pop into village for that.

No idea on food yet for today....but bacon for breakfast with pancakes.......might have fish of some kind, we all love fish. hmm. Need to go look and see what we have.

Good to hear so many getting the vaccine. There`s a new one being produced in the UK once it`s been fully approved which should be soon, which is wonderful news. There`s a lot to be positive about for sure.

Ginger tea time........

Have a wonderful Friday whatever you`re doing ​

 

[Realfoodfans]

Hope you are warmer in the day time Mac. Heavy rain here again overnight (yes I was up a lot) but dry now.
We are heading to the farm shop butcher for a free range chicken (so much more meat on them) and some bits then a farm where they sell their own vegetables. Cauliflower very poor from grocery delivery but the farm ones are huge. Eggs too now I’m back in my eating plan.
Bacon and mushrooms for me and bacon sandwiches for Kev and Em.

Fishy Friday take out tonight but I will just have the fish. Kev suggested pizza delivery but the GC chose to stick with the fish.

No other plans today except a bit of sewing.

No sign of Lynne yet this morning hope she’s had a good sleep.

 

[Lynne G]

Ah yes, I am still that early bird. DH gets me up regardless if I need to get moving fast or not. Today is a not, but no matter. So Good Morning Julie. Did have a good night sleep. One kid would eat fish, one kid would not, and me either. May be Chinese or pizza for our dinner too. Thinking steak and eggs for breakfast.

All is well in our weather, with that cool, 17F out now, and a clear very dark sky. With 40mph winds today, the high of 28F will again feel like a low teen temp. Then we get a Nor’easter arriving probably Monday. Saying a mix of that fun snow, sleet and freezing rain is most likely. But the just snow is to stay North of me, but too early to say where that snow line goes. Yeah, February will be giving us that cold winter feeling from the first day of that month. Sigh. But it does mean the day we go off from standard time and Spring are getting closer. That gets a little yay.

Friday homies! Yaba daba do, for sure.

Some how I am from the North but always have never liked the cold. So I understand Mac. My Florida friend has her winter jacket on, when it goes below 60 or close to it. Uses her hot tub more when it’s cooler. Wore my light weight jacket a day or two when in Florida in January. Just a cooler time of year for most of the country.

Off for more tea. And to check on the wash. Yay, weekend has started for me.

 

[keishashadow]

Edit: auto correct is killing me here coming from my phone. Apologies for weird syntax, etc. yahoo/safari has been strange all week for me???

Morning all, couple of inches of snow today. Forecast for the upcoming weather event over the next few days is anywhere from another two to six. Seems as though weatherman has been caging his bets this year.

it’s been a busy week here. Middle DS stated to get sick last Sunday. Turned out positive on rapid CV test, um they said same thing back in May. This time, they followed up with a PCR that confirmed it. He’s sicker by the day. I saw my family doctor yesterday, first thing he mentioned was my DS, was nice he gave my instructions for him. That dr is such a treasure for us

The sickie & the youngest DS had a 3 hour lunch together last Saturday. First time they’d done anything together since last August. He has mild issues, could be anything. got the rapid test, it’s snowing abnormal but not positive ??? That’s a new one on me. Sent out for a PCR but told him to act as though positive & continue quarantine for the full 14 days.

Have been cooking food for us all this week & delivering it. Glad I’m not a caterer

DH’s first vaccine went well yesterday. Was quite surprised to see his arm was bleeding when he took off the bandage 6 hours later. Spot the width of a pencil eraser looks like a brush burn. Said he couldn’t even feel it. interesting how high they positioned it

Think I told you there was a game on tv and I gleefully announced I was an honorary Steelers fan.......coulda heard a pin drop for all of 3 seconds.......lol......

I love it!

Dinner was a big success again......although I did add rosemary to the potatoes, I forgot Kyle isn`t overly fond of rosemary....but he`s not a fussy eater, so ate them anyway. I loved them.......hoping my rosemary will grow in abundance this year, it`s beautiful in cooking and in bread too.

So many don’t care for it, use it regularly normally the dried stuff

little one said, yeah they won’t pave over those holes until enough vehicles send damage claims to the township road works department. Between the use of salt and all the traffic, lots of pot holes can be found on our streets. Right of passage in Pennsylvania. Dodging pot holes. LoL

Long drive yesterday up & down the hills to get to vaccine site. Many of the towns right the outside city limits apparently keep putting down layers of blacktop. Noticed many had those storm drains built into the road surface, near the sidewalk. More than a few a good foot deep & a good 2 x 3 feet wide. Would probably ruin vehicles suspension to hit one of them.

Yeah, here, so far only medical people, but of course, always in the news, privileged few get the shot too. I see the VA is trying to get it for all veterans, we will see. Even my work is saying maybe, looking into whether can offer shot to all workers. But either way, next in line are the elderly, and first of those that are in those in those retirement homes.

saw Montgomery county doing their own thing re vaccines. Rest of state opened up to 65 & up & anyone with a myriad of medical conditions, all self-stated on honor system. Even smoking is on the list.

Turned into a crazy, free-for-all TBH. However, it’s smart to work within the system designated by the governor.

Here, all VA residents & their registered out patients, pretty much all inoculated here, they started earlier this month. Front line health care workers, first responders & police all started receiving at the same time.

Remainder of health care workers still being ticked off via allocated supply at their affiliated hospital via clinic type events. Appears majority that requested to opt in, now have their 2nd shots.

Oddly, they skipped entirely over prison employees & a few other groups.

I will try that! I may look at the stoves that have the double ovens. My friend just got one and she loves it.

popular in our area to finish lower level of homes/basements. You’d never know you were in one, some quite luxe. A kitchenette usually part of it.

Now I have to look at laser thermometers.......lol

Multi-purpose, discovered my dog enjoys chasing the light ala a cat

Had a night flicking through channels last night......87,000 channels and streaming options and nothing on. Ended up engrossed in a show about folks who use steroids for body building, not having a clue what it does to them. Crazy. Those popping veins are gross......then went on to a show on the Russian Revolution.....very random nights viewing.

Roid rage is a scary thing. that sort, anabolic, different animal than medical steriods

Had more dizziness this morning. Kev quite insistent I contact the doctor but I really don’t want to at this time. Don’t want to be sent for more tests in the hospital. I’ve ordered an oximeter.

Yikes! I bought one before xmas. Wound up giving that to my one DS this week. Ordered two more. Nice you can grab up so reasonably priced these days. At least one thing that isn’t gouged.

I hated the doctor gave it to him, but soon as a blood test showed was effecting his kidneys, that use was stopped so fast. I said there has to be other medicine. And so, we have managed without ever using any kind of steroid again. Scary, enhancing drugs, as the other things they do to your body.

I took so many of them the past two years, my blood work showed the effects. They can mess with many different things, really need to watch them carefully, like many meds I guess.

Any suggestions? My Facebook feed is flooded with ads for so many hair products. I have no idea what to try.

It’s a sulfate free hair product home here, i baby my hair.

Allure magazine is my beauty bible for their best of lists every year:

Was awake in the early hours and managed to get another grocery home delivery slot in 3 weeks - sense of achievement!

Congrats. Who’d have thought a year a ago that would be our new level of excitement? Lol

I made rope drop
Animal Kingdom today

Those who know you are smiling

weather is cool and no crowds right now

Touringplans predicts it’s going to be deader than dead until the 2nd weekend of February!

Interestingly I have noticed more females then males are losing the sense of taste and smell.

Hadn’t heard that, interesting. Not blessed with any of the sort, does seems so most men aren’t especially picky/sensitive to surroundings & wolf down whatever is put in front of them.

Enjoyed a little zoom quiz tonight with a bunch of friends.

Nice. I’ve been trying to figure out zoom. Not quite there yet. Was supposed to take an enrichment class online next week, will be interesting to see if I get it work

A mostly uneventful day today which was nice. The highlight of the work day was receiving my W-2 form. I'm now waiting for dh to get back from them gym and then we will have a late dinner.

Yea - the mr got his last weekend. He took a voluntary layoff for a month or so to allow one of the already laid off guys with less seniority to come back & retain their job going forward. Still waiting for the state UC one. Have a feeling it may stretch well past end of month.

Then the next week’s Taco Tuesday we will be celebrating our 29 years of married love. We tend to go out to dinner, the two of us. This year, nope. Takeout, yeah probably, but then for family, not the two of us. Perfect, either way.

Nice sentiment! We’ll be right rehind you. We usually sneak off to Orlando for a long weekend. Will just curl up on couch together and count our blessings.

Lunch at Tony’s at 1:50

It’s been at least two years for us, youngest likes it there, believe it’s the atmosphere vs the food lol. How was it?

 

[Lynne G]

Have to say, in all our Mouse trips never ate at Tony’s. Yay, Mac having so much family fun. Enjoy it! So glad to hear live reports, and hope your weather gets warmer.

Yeah, I guess one of these days I’ll get the shots. Have to register, so waiting to do that, as yeah, got an email from my county as to when and how to register, Keisha. Guess each county is on its own. The email did say, we don’t have enough to cover all the residents, but they plan to have every adult in the county done. Will be months and months. DH is already scheduled to get his first shot next week. As he said, VA says he’s old and has issues. Well, any guy that had those 5 shots for anthrax, not much bothers him. Ouch, your DH had a bad shot. Sending many good wishes mummy dust blasts to Keisha’s sons, as I hope they both recover soon, and feel much better this weekend. Nice you are the family takeout restaurant and deliver person. Bet both sons appreciate mom’s food. Do they tip? LoL

And so, two kids watching their online classes and DH is still working. I think he gets off line around lunchtime. And, thankful I am off. My work buzzed me twice to say network down and intermittent. Ack, not being able to access stuff just sucks.

Just back from the store. After breakfast, DH complained we had no bread. Sigh. Men in the house. Wow, was so bright, so cool feeling, and so windy. Lots of stuff airborne, like trash cans in street and many branches flying around. Hehe, older one came with me, and his hat promptly blew off his head when we got out of the car. And yes, as he was with me, more than bread was bought.

A what for dinner was posed to older one. He’s not feeling Chinese, so that’s out. Eh, thinking will finish up the chicken for lunch. Steak and eggs were a delicious breakfast. Skillet meals on my day off. Yep.

Hope all are staying warm and having a fabulous Friday.

It’s been at least two years for us, youngest likes it there, believe it’s the atmosphere vs the food lol. How was it?

Mum said she thought the vaccination spot was higher than expected.......says she’s still sore today but no side effects so far....I thank the lord every day she’s so healthy. Glad you made it there and back.....and good luck tomorrow......it does sound a lot easier over here with an appointment system when it’s your turn.....seems to be working well. My brother in law who had heart surgery last year gets his in two weeks time.....he’s over the moon as he has been hibernating mostly.

Continued good wishes for your boys.......and I think you’re doing brilliantly with the “catering”........I’d put an order in if I could.....lol.....

Oh those steroids were terrifying......one young lad, his dad was so encouraging to him.....shocking to see how he could, this young lad had veins popping out of arms and legs and dad was so proud! Yep, had to turn it off and hoped they’d come to their senses......doubt it, but yes, long term damage is scary.

Hope you don’t get too much snow........




Having lamb leg steaks for dinner tonight and not fish now....our wonderful local farm store had some amazing lamb just arrive as we did, so picked up a load of it.......some lovely rack of lambs too.

So making garlic and rosemary roast potatoes to go with them.....lamb served pink. Just for the two of us. Kyle doesn’t like lamb or rosemary, so he has other plans tonight anyway.

It would be nice with some lovely red wine, but not till Monday......so pink lemonade spritzers for us.

Movie night tonight, will have a rumble through the dvds and see what we fancy.

Hope your Friday is a good one........

 

[Charade67]

Happy Friday everyone. We still have a bit of lingering snow, and more is expected on Sunday. I went to the grocery store this morning. I hate going to the grocery at any time, but today was even more annoying. People are doing their shopping ahead of the "storm", and I forgot that Friday morning was when one of the local senior centers brings a bus load of residents to Kroger to shop.
I got home, put my stuff away, made myself a low carb lunch, and am now relaxing a bit before I do my lunch dishes and then pay some bills.

Mac - Glad you are having a good time even if it is getting a bit cold for you. I just looked at the Orlando forecast for next week and the temps are all over the place.

I love french toast.....haven`t had that for ages.

I made some a few winters ago when we had a snow day. We always joke about bread, milk, and eggs dissapearing from the shelves whenever we have snow, so I thought I would try my hand at making french toast.

Cauliflower very poor from grocery delivery but the farm ones are huge.

That is something I have never eaten in the past, but tried mashed cauliflower the other day and it wasn't too bad. I'm going to attempt to make cauliflower "breadsticks" next.

Then we get a Nor’easter arriving probably Monday. Saying a mix of that fun snow, sleet and freezing rain is most likely. But the just snow is to stay North of me, but too early to say where that snow line goes. Yeah, February will be giving us that cold winter feeling from the first day of that month. Sigh. But it does mean the day we go off from standard time and Spring are getting closer. That gets a little yay.

We are supposed to start getting snow late Saturday night and into Sunday. Possible rain and sleet too into Monday. I've seen a prediction on 4-8 inches, but I am sure that will change several times before Saturday night. I am looking forward to changing the time. I hate how early it gets dark now.

it’s been a busy week here. Middle DS stated to get sick last Sunday. Turned out positive on rapid CV test, um they said same thing back in May. This time, they followed up with a PCR that confirmed it. He’s sicker by the day. I saw my family doctor yesterday, first thing he mentioned was my DS, was nice he gave my instructions for him. That dr is such a treasure for us

Prayers and well wishes for your son. I hope he starts improving soon, and the other son does not get it.

DH’s first vaccine went well yesterday. Was quite surprised to see his arm was bleeding when he took off the bandage 6 hours later. Spot the width of a pencil eraser looks like a brush burn. Said he couldn’t even feel it. interesting how high they positioned it

How is he feeling today? With my first shot I had a mild headache and my arm was some for a couple of days, but that was it. I get the second shot on Thursday.

It’s a sulfate free hair product home here, i baby my hair.

I started using sulphate free products a few months ago and have noticed a difference. I am trying to find something to help enhance the curl without making my hair super stiff. Most of the curl "systems" I have seen involve the use of several products. I'm trying to keep the products to a minimum.

I suppose I should get up, wash my dishes and start on those bills. I just texted B to see if she needed me to bring her anything before the snow comes. All she asked for was hand soap. Coincidentally, Kroger had some on close out today, so I bought several bottles.

 

[keishashadow]

How is he feeling today? With my first shot I had a mild headache and my arm was some for a couple of days, but that was it. I get the second shot on Thursday.

Said it’s only sore when he touches it. He’s a tough guy though, the sort u could chop off a body part and he’d insist he’s ok. A rarity in our family lol. I’m sure I’ll be whining up a storm my turn

 

[Realfoodfans]

@keishashadow hope your family all recover well. Heard of two friends who’ve got their vaccine appointments through for next week - one with Parkinson’s so that’s good news.
@Charade67 we love cauliflower - generally grows well around here. Cauliflower rice is an acquired taste but I love cauliflower cheese or in soup or roasted. What is your favourite low carb meal?
Lynne bread is always needed here too - used to make all my own but then ate too much of it!

Few new films have come on Netflix so we are watching The Dig tonight with Ralph Fiennes - based on a true story which we like.

 

[Charade67]

This day has taken a rapid downhill turn. I got a call from my brother. The details are sketchy, but he said that she was taken to the hospital today and needed a blood transfusion. At the time he received the call the doctors did not know exactly why. They wanted to do a colonoscopy, but mom refused. (She's a colon cancer survivor.) She is currently living with one of her younger sisters, but my Aunt told my brother that Mom is getting weaker and she doesn't know if she will be able to care for her much longer. I am afraid that if she has to move to a care facility then she won't last much longer. It may be better for her physical health, but I worry what it will do to her emotional health.

So, right now I don't really know much of anything. My brother said that the hospital was not going to admit her, so she is supposed to be calling him later tonight after she gets home. I asked him to call me as soon as he knows something.

Oh Charade, I hope mom gets straightened out soon. Good thoughts your way, she will be okay mind and body.

A cold night. Kids are playing with their online friends. I’m relaxing with a cup of tea.

Friday night. Ahhh. And my phone keeps flashing weather warning for the next 3 days, starting Saturday evening. Yeah, whatever. Thankful no commuting next week.

And oops, the 29 years is on Monday. So no need for tacos Tuesday for our anniversary dinner. DH is a good sport. Likes Chinese and Mexican food, as both type of restaurants we have gone to over the years. Will see how the roads are by dinner time on Monday. Takeout though. And Schumi will be able to have an alcoholic drink with us to celebrate.

Maybe looking for a snack soon. That kinda night.
