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

New flooring has been ordered. We could have reordered the same thing and hope that the bad batch was just a fluke, but it is back ordered again until August. We chose something that is very similar to our original choice. The salesperson called the manufacturer and was told thay had plenty in stock. So now we wait for our new installation dates.
 
What a pain in the …., Charade. Glad you could return and found an in stock close enough color. I hope the can install that before Christmas.

I would hope they would prioritise for fitting you after the fault was theirs.

It’ll all be worth it when you have your new flooring down and you’re happy with it.




Lamb tagine for dinner tonight, it’s been simmering away all day and the aroma is gorgeous.

Will be ready for dinner for sure tonight. Been another busy day getting organised back to normality again and preparing for Christmas while catching up with everyone and emailing too…….fun though!!

And loving Christmas movie season………
 
:wave2: Finally getting to do a stop in!

These are NOT my favorite days of the year. It's cold - and getting into deep freeze temps :cold: and snowy and just BLAH! I definitely was not made for these days lol.

Worked my last shift last night at HomeSense - TJX. It was a little bittersweet - as did enjoy many of my co-workers. The staff is amazing - and the work culture there is fantastic.

Tonight I am getting the nails done, and then will be baking some cookies. Since I was sooo busy on the weekend doing everything else, but baking, I need to do a little catch up on baking. I like to give away baking to friends, and then I also bring some into work and send some to dh's work as well. So the next few evenings will be spent baking cookies! This is the fun part of xmas that I like ;)

Our son contacted us last night letting us know that a tornado was passing through Kentucky were our daughter and grandchildren live. A late night last night. A lot of prayers.

The devastation is horrible. It pretty much obliterated the town of Mayfield.
I am glad that everyone is safe. I can't even imagine what it looks like in person. Seeing in on tv is totally different that seeing it with your own eyes.
It sounds like you have a wonderful visit with your Dad. Loved the pictures!!!!
Well, It looks like we ARE still doing the Hard Rock Hotel portion of our trip! (Wilderness Lodge got canceled-Bummed.)
Gonna have a good time anyway. Wheels up Tuesday early AM!
Enjoy your park time!!!
We have received a bad shipment of flooring. All of the boards are warped. Dh and I are going to the flooring shop tomorrow morning to discuss our options. Meanwhile we have bare floors in our living room, dining area, and kitchen.
I am glad you found replacement flooring. Hopefully the new flooring will be better than the last one.
Having a very small medicinal gin tonight......🍸 while watching Scrooged, a Bill Murray classic......
That sounds like a fantastic way to spend the evening. I'm glad you had negative covid tests and are now set free. I do suffer from P.O.P.D!!!! It's a struggle that I always rearrange the tree after the kids disappear for the night :o
Today was a good day considering it was Monday. I had the best burger today for lunch. I ordered it from Wild Burger with potato wedges. Yum!

Going to the Studios Wednesday evening for the parade...should be lots of fun.
Yum!!!! I am a burger and fry girl at heart. Enjoy your time in the parks and the parade!!!!

@Lynne G - enjoy your park time. Sorry to hear about the car before you left. At least everyone was safe, but it sure makes for lots of work and inconvenience to get everything sorted.

Well, I should get shuffling some papers - since that is what they actually pay me to do lol.

Have a great day everyone - stay safe!!!!
 

Good news - they are expediting the flooring and it will be delivered on Friday.

Bad news - We will be at Busch Gardens on Friday.

Good news - We have a friend who is willing to let the delivery people into the house for us.

If all goes well we should have our new floor before Christmas.
 
Good Tuesday afternoon Sans family :wave:

It was good news to read your family was safe from the tornado’s!!

Thank you Mac.


Such great pictures, Robo. I am very glad to hear all family safe. Scary that line of storms. Nice to hear visit with your dad went well.

Thank you Lynne. Visit to then candy Factory is always fun and dad is still doing well. So a nice short trip.


Do you believe someone broke into older one’s car. Scratched all sling then broke the back door window. The only thing we think they took was a large package of toilet tissue paper and a Lego set my kids had just bought for my present. Thank goodness little one who’s room faces the street, was already up, as she needed to finish packing. Saw them do it, and told me, who was in the shower. Police came, filed report. But now older one has to deal with it on his day off. And DH was at his mom’s house, as stated over to make her breakfast.

So sorry to hear about the break in on your son’s car.

I hope there is such a thing as karma and that thief gets it back in droves.


Lovely pictures Robbie, glad you had a nice visit with dad.

It was dreadful to see the tornado devastation, I`m glad your family weren`t affected although always sad to hear of anyone being affected.

Thank you Carole. Yes, more and more news video is coming out on the aftermath of the tornado.


HOWDY SANS NERDS!
Hope all is well. Prayers for those affected by the horrible events in the Midwest. So sad.

Well, It looks like we ARE still doing the Hard Rock Hotel portion of our trip! (Wilderness Lodge got canceled-Bummed.)
Gonna have a good time anyway. Wheels up Tuesday early AM!
Anybody else there? (Lynne G?)

Been a whirlwind month or ten here!

Great news on your trip Buckeev. Have a wonderful time.

Glad to hear your family is safe. Hope their home didn’t suffer too much damage.

Thank you Charade.


Great pictures. Looks like a fun place to shop.

The shop has nice Christmas things.


Yep, Charade, Mannheim Steamroller with Chip Davis conducting. Was a great show. And even nicer, all mostly stayed seated. And not many phones, though the lady in front of me recorded it with her phone, the whole show.

Lynne glad to hear you and your daughter enjoyed the concert. I have never seen Mannheim Steamroller.



Got negative results through on the covid tests, finally. But charity event was cancelled as a couple were suspect covid, turns out they weren`t positive after all, and childrens nursery party has been cancelled too....."just in case" Such a shame for those little ones, 4 years old and no Christmas party with their friends.

Great to hear you got the negative result on your Covid tests.



Arm is sore tonight after booster this morning, but that seems to be all thankfully. DH has nothing again.....he was completely free of anything for the previous 2 jabs and same this time.

Hope the arm feels better.


Having a very small medicinal gin tonight......🍸 while watching Scrooged, a Bill Murray classic......

A medicinal cocktail is good.


In happier news, my Christmas bonus was deposited today. I’m going to transfer that money into my travel account for next year’s Universal trip.

It’s always nice to have additional funds to enjoy vacation with.


I am glad that everyone is safe. I can't even imagine what it looks like in person. Seeing in on tv is totally different that seeing it with your own eyes.
It sounds like you have a wonderful visit with your Dad. Loved the pictures!!!!

Thank you Pumpkin. Our dad is doing pretty well for 85.

Yes, the devastation is so sad.


Good news - they are expediting the flooring and it will be delivered on Friday.

Great news on the flooring.


Last of the grandchildren finally got their electricity back yesterday. Their homes faired well. There are so many who lost their homes and so many who have died. There are still quite a few that are still missing.

I watched something on the news today about a guy and his family who’s home was destroyed. His piano was still intact in the house and he sat down At the piano began playing. He is a big lumber jack looking fellow with unbelievable delicate playing skills. He was so positive even though he has lost so much. He said it was his faith that sustained him.

I had my root canal this morning. The Endodontist I saw was a young cheerful fella. He was just about the happiest medical professional I have ever met. He really deadened that area around the Tooth and did a block. All went well. I have a swollen jaw and will be on antibiotics again for a few days. Thankful it’s over.

Next week I will have a permanent filling placed. He drilled into the cap. Thank goodness it did not crack. So just filling needed.

Lights went out on the Harry Potter tree so I had to take all the ornaments off and replace the lights. That was my project Saturday. I added a Three Broomsticks ornament.

Only a couple of things to wrap and a Christmas presents are done.

Lynne I’am enjoying your pictures. So nice to see you and your daughter enjoying your vacation. Nice picture of you both by the tree.

Going to go and have a quick nap.

Have a great evening everyone.
 
@Robo56 Good to hear that family is OK and with power again. Tornadoes can be devastating. I grew up in Oklahoma and am all too familiar with them. How fun! Root canal! Glad it's going OK though. Hopefully it doesn't hurt much. I need to start decorating our tree.
 
Pumpkin.....I did laugh with the tree decorations. I didn`t realise how controlling I was until I saw Tom had moved one of my favourite ornaments to another place......lol......nope, I like the trees a certain way apparently. I added all the new decorations we bought in the Universal Christmas store as soon as we were home......priorities and all that...... ::yes::

Cold here too, but milder than usual for us, hope it stays that way! Yes, baking is a much better way to spend your evenings........


Charade......glad you`ll have your flooring done for Christmas, that is good news.



Robbie.......thank you.....yes, medicinal cocktails are the best!!! Hope the jaw feels better soon and antibiotics work quickly, very painful thing to go through.

Slept so much better last night and enjoyed a little sleep in today again......luxury!

Got some plans this morning, but doesn`t look good outside, so we`ll get out and back in as soon as we can. Still need to pick up some more gifts for friends and family up in Scotland now we`re sure we`re going.

Hot and spicy chicken curry for us tonight, have some fresh mango to add in to it too, we like that. Going to try and make naan bread again, last time they didn`t work out well, far too doughy. But, will give it another bash.

Time for a cuppa.......
 
Robo, sending well wishes to you. Hope your jaw, and you, are feeling better. Glad to hear grandchildren got their power back. Yes, not only all those who lost homes and all they own, but all those who lost their lives. It is with such sorrow, and devastating for all effected.

Schumi, glad you are feeling better today, as said arm was sore from shot. Hope your gift finding errands were successful. And very much happiness to you, in traveling to Scotland, to visit with family and friends over the holidays.

Ah yes, a Wednesday is here. A hump of a day it is! The last full day we have. Thinking some VB later today, then parade viewing with Metro West tonight. So perfect way to spend it. Then we head back tomorrow, but will have some last day fun, as evening flight. Weather has been very nice. Just a brief sprinkle while waiting for parade with the tour groups. Then a very brief very light sprinkle later in the afternoon, yesterday. Some rain chances today, around lunchtime, but even with a more cloudy day, high temp is 80. Very pleasant indeed.

And so homies, hope this hump of a day gets you thinking oh my, yay, Friday will be here soon. And this Friday, we will be back just in time for our baking weekend, with little zoo brunch with Santa, as part of it. So yay, I’m still looking forward to be having that Friday feeling.
 
Super bored at work today.


What a pain in the …., Charade. Glad you could return and found an in stock close enough color. I hope the can install that before Christmas.
Yes, a huge pain in the……though if all goes well this will all be over next week.

I would hope they would prioritise for fitting you after the fault was theirs.
They’ve got us on the schedule for Monday. Hopefully nothing more will go wrong.

I don’t know why, but I have so much trouble trying to quote your posts. We need to get you down south.

Hope you have a mostly painless recovery.

Time for lunch then only a couple more hours of work. I think after work I’m going to my favorite ice cream shop and will buy a gift card and some bowls for my friend who is letting the delivery guy I to the house on Friday.
 
:wave2: Making a quick morning stop in!!!

It's a little chilly here this morning at -33F :cold: :sad2: So much fun lol. I grumble on my way out the door, in the vehicle, back into the warm building - basically until I'm warm again lol. Oh well...I can't change it, I just have to deal with it.

Busy night last night. Got some pretty xmas nails - as she had some cute little stickers to add to make them festive! Whipped up a double batch of some chocolate chip cookies last night. Tonight I'm making a double chocolate cookies with white chocolate chips. Super decedent...and tasty.

I have a few errands to run over lunch. I have a couple of things to take back as I changed my mind on them. So I'll be doing that over lunch and get that errand off my to-do list.

I hope that you recover fast from the root canal. Yikes...that is not an easy procedure to endure. It is great to hear that your family members have power again.

I hope you found all the items you were looking for. I'm sure you are very much looking forward to Christmas in Scotland with your family. I know for us, we enjoy being able to spend Christmas with as many family members as we can.
We need to get you down south.
LOL yes....I would love to be able to be a snow bird and enjoy the winters in warmer climates. Hopefully we may be able to do that when we are older and retire. Winters are hard on people in their senior years.

Well, I should shuffle some papers.

Have a great day everyone...stay safe!
 
Don’t know if anyone remembers when I had emergency dental work done in late January
Two molars removed

Now all is healed up and ready to begin implants
I think the price is crazy and wonder if anyone here has had implants for molars done.

What was the average price for those that have done implants ?

trying to figure out if this specialist I am using is cheap or expensive

We do not have dental insurance so I have no idea what is a normal price

I hate getting ripped off on dental costs

I wish I liked chocolate cookies......those sound lovely! I never make cookies, well, not very often.

Thank you, shopping went well, and I am so excited about seeing all my family for Christmas. Yes, family is everything.

Wish I could help there, but over here and there are so different. I was just telling Tom about your dental stuff....always makes him pale......





Earlyish dinner as we were so hungry.....naan breads worked out better this time, but the coconut didn`t stay put as it should, may need to add more sugar, but tasty all the same and not too much dough. Very filling.

Going to choose another Christmas movie tonight, and starting my December tradition of reading A Christmas Carol......one of my favourite literary works. I have many copies of the book and have chosen the newest one. Tom asks how I can read the same book year after year.....it`s a classic, and tradition.

Still unusually mild for us this time of year, not complaining but it should be cold this year to Christmas.
