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

[schumigirl]

Schumi if you tell me there will be bacon in the morning, I’ll do the kitchen clean up duty....
Just saying

Yep, bacon sandwiches for lunch/breakfast then! And you don`t need to clean up.....you know me, I hate untidiness.....I clean up as I go along....or Tom does.....





Made it back in from our walk before the rain came on this morning. Left ultra early, yep....crazy, but looking at the sky we made the right choice. Think it`s going to be like this all day, rain off and on, so no more plans for the rest of the day. Housework beckons along with some laundry. Fun! Sun is back out, so my washing is all out to dry today again.

Spicy chicken and cous cous for dinner tonight, will make up a salad to go with it.

And wine delivery coming this afternoon, so the ironically named "wine cellar" will get replenished again.......got a real mix of wine coming today.

Have a wonderful Wednesday ​

Good morning. I was up early again today. We had thunderstorms late last night. Thankfully I remembered to close the window in B’s bedroom.

some disappointing news for us. You may recall that we were supposed to go to a Celtic Thunder concert in December 2020. The concert got rescheduled for this December. Now, because of the Covid variant, it has been pushed back to March. B is disappointed and a little annoyed. It’s going to happen on a “school night”.

Time for work. Hope I have enough to keep me busy.

 

[Charade67]

Very quiet here today. I’m on lunch break right now. Have been doing very tedious work today.

We have decided to check into a motel for the next couple of nights. Last night wasn’t too bad, but we should have a lot more paint on the walls today. Can’t wait to see how the cat reacts.

Yeah, Charade, get togetherness for events are now being rethought, as well as more going to be directed to have mandatory vaccinated to work or go on or attend. And the mask for indoors is now again being close to being mandatory. I’m hoping infection rates go much lower by the time we travel next month.

Sorry those storms got you up early. Storms were to be today, but they’re taking a bit longer, as now saying a very stormy Thursday. Fitting I guess, as tomorrow is Thirsty Thursday.

 

[keishashadow]

Hey all, busy last few days.
Spent the day with the Birthday boy & hit the Xmas in July sales up for early Xmas shopping Hallmark store & perfume/aftershave mostly. Burlington for some cute Disney park stuff stuff too

then, the dreaded 60 day ADR x 2as split Disney stay. Bonus points for wading thru magical dining

tink hang in there, well worth it for the vaccine.
Lynne ouch to those knees!

I’ve been telling Carole she needs to write a novel for years, I’m now convinced it

 

[Pumpkin1172]

Finally able to make a quick stop in

Busy doing things other than work - looking like I am working with files and papers everywhere lol

Got a few things checked off my list....some Air bnb's booked for my family for dh's birthday party weekend...confirmation of when other family members will be arriving. Changed the venue and reserved that, ordered a couple things off amazon for birthday presents....and was looking for available campsites (not much available) as the kids and grandkiddo are not coming this weekend, so we thought we would try to head out camping for our holiday weekend here.

Working another shift tonight...at least I get my steps in. Hopefully get door duty so I can enjoy the beautiful sunshine and warmth we are blessed with again today. It's soooo hard to stand and greet people and look pretty...AND I get paid for it

Well, I should shuffle a few more papers.

Have a great day hommies!!!!

 

[Charade67]

I have some before and after pics. This is a picture of B’s room before we moved in. All the furniture belongs to the previous occupant.


Here is what it looks like today. Still a little messy because she doesn’t have everything put back in place yet.

 

[Lynne G]

I guess blue is not her color? But nice as always can add color with pillows and sheets. My home has all white or pale yellow. Though we did paint a scene on older one’s room when he was a little guy. Now he’s over 21 and doesn’t care what color his walls in his room are. Previous owner liked wallpaper.

 

[Pumpkin1172]

Forgot to add my quotes....and I have a few minutes before the end of the day!

Seems yesterday as I was carrying groceries, tripped over the logs along our driveway, and twisted my knee enough, it’s sore enough I’m not wanting to walk much without feeling pain. Did hobble around our block to see what all that noise was from early this morning. Seems a neighbor is having major house renovations. Hehe, they were breaking for lunch too, so my walk was quiet.
[/QUOTE]
I hope your knee gets better!!! That reminds me of myself. A couple of weeks back, I will running in and out of the house...doing this and that. We have three steps that are at our back door - I'm sure you can guess where this is leading lol. Well.....in true Pumpkin style...I caught my flip flop on the middle stair tread...stepped up onto the landing to try to balance myself....ended up taking two more big steps...and landed head first into the opposite wall There is now a Pumpkin head size imprint where I slightly broke the drywall with my head I'm sooooooooooooo graceful!!!!!!! lol. I'm very surprised I didn't end up bruising. My forehead was pretty sore for over a week lol. We laugh now. Dh was very concerned for about 30 seconds until he realized I was totally fine....and now...well

Laying in bed trying to get over the effects of my second Covid shot yesterday. Running a mild fever with body aches ...what fun. I took a hot bubble bath and it helped somewhat. Glad I took today off.

I hope it doesn't keep you down too long. It took dh a couple of days to feel normal again.

And wine delivery coming this afternoon, so the ironically named "wine cellar" will get replenished again.......got a real mix of wine coming today.

Gotta love those deliveries!!!!!!!!!!!!! Enjoy all the wine....and yes...I'm picturing a huge wine glass bigger than your head

Now, because of the Covid variant, it has been pushed back to March. B is disappointed and a little annoyed. It’s going to happen on a “school night”.

I sure hope you get to see if sooner or later. I have so many mixed feelings about anything covid right now. I hope that your cute kitty will start to get used to the construction. It is always hard on them. Our dog didn't like it when we did things either.

Well...it's almost time to clock out for the day

Take care everyone!!!!! @macraven stay cool...those temps are really high.

lol gives new meaning to being ‘hard-headed’!

I also have that gift of a thick skull. Not exactly lady like but, have you tried head butting anyone yet?

 

[macraven]

Take care everyone!!!!! @macraven stay cool...those temps are really high.

Today 99
Tomorrow 100

I have central air so I’m good no matter what the temps are outside.

 

[Lynne G]

Ooh glad you are okay Pumpkin. Yeah funny but not funny, but not the first time I’ve tripped. This one really hurt. But thankfully, I seem to have only bruised my knee. But I’m still taking an easy for a few more days, until it feels back to not having to feel it not feeling right.

Ack, quiet night, but happy about that. Seems those fries at Taco Bell called little one. And since there is a TB on way back from a store pickup, quick through drive through and dinner was eaten. But was hungry later, so made some soup.

Hope all have a wonderful good sleep. And be thirsty, as Thursday it will be. Yay! I’m going to make tomorrow the last day of this week day routine. A later start for three days? Yes please.

 

[macraven]

3 day weekends rules!!

 

[keishashadow]

But I’m still taking an easy for a few more days, until it feels back to not having to feel it not feeling right.

Are you elevating & icing it? that long weekend sounds like a great idea, stay off that foot & let the family wait on you…hand & knee

Today 99
Tomorrow 100

I have central air so I’m good no matter what the temps are outside.

It’s ten degrees cooler here but sooo humid. I’ve been looking for excuses to take long drives in the car to blast the AC In my face. sooner the better the upcoming cold front here.

 

[macraven]

Lynne
Very humid here.too

 

[DISNEY FIX]

Before I put this as its own thread I'll try here first...looking to retire to fla within an hour or so of Disney...any on a golf course gated community folks out here? Thanks!

 

[Charade67]

So we decided to check into a motel for a couple of nights to avoid paint fumes. All was well until about 4:00 this morning when Caspian started complaining and scratching the carpet. I finally decided to bring him back home and I will sleep in the downstairs bedroom for a couple of nights. Dh and B will stay at the motel. Cat - 1, Humans - 0

I have also observed that the ceiling fan in the spare bedroom is very noisy.

 

[Lynne G]

Ah yes, the rainy day is here, though it is warm. 70 degrees out already. And phone says rain in the next hour. Yeah, no bright sunlight this morning. Not going to be as hot as Mac, but like Keisha, muggy with all this humidy and soon, rain.

Welcome DisneyFix. While I’m hoping to be retiring a decade from now, I’m sorry can’t help you. May want to post in the Community forum, as may get more help, and I thought maybe try the Travel forum too. But here, on this thread, you are welcome to chat about just about anything, and this forum, our love for vacationing at Universal. And so, welcome and stay awhile if you’d like, and yay, for retirement moving to FLA plans.

Eek, Charade. Sorry the smell is not pleasant enough to stay. Yeah, what we do for our pets. I don’t like hearing a fan while I am sleeping either. But older one usually has the one in his room on all night. It’s not that loud, as can’t hear it until closer to his room. I hope the smell disappears soon. Nice mom is taking one for the team, and cat.

Thanks Keisha, yep had it propped up and put those icy hot sheets on it. Why I’m glad to be able to relax tomorrow as well as the weekend.


And so, as I always start my mornings with a cup of tea, sipping it happily, wishing you may all have that totally terrific Thirsty Thursday. Yep, and the weather is giving us some wet, so our land is thirsty. Sigh, rainy day.

Yet woot! It’s a Thursday, and I hope all are feeling well and hope you have or had a good morning.
