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

[schumigirl]

Oh, I hate mammograms too. Man, the things we go through! I guess it's better to know through testing that to be too late.

Absolutely, testing is so important.




Opened the windows during the night last night, it was weirdly warm just after midnight......very unusual.

Might walk this morning, might not. I do know we have bacon for breakfast.

Not many plans today at all. Will drop off the bags of clothes into the Charity store and do some baking. I`ll take some into nursery tomorrow as I`m doing another reading session which will be lovely.

Time for a pot of tea........

Happy Sunday ​

 

[Lynne G]

Sunday. Yay! Still clear, cold starts and then overcast skies. Snow showers to be seen soon. Brr, as 20 degrees out.

Teapot for me too. Got it out, and used some tea from my Christmas gift.

Super Sunday homies.

Tummy issues started yesterday, missed a couple of meals, how will i go on Still not quite right, no fever, going with it’s a run-of-the-mill bug & rather glad at that. Crazy world isn’t it?

the idea of making chicken wings re today’s games for family is making my stomach lurch tho. Speaking of football, talk about upsets yesterday! Glad to see the bengals move on In the hunt.

It’s definitely just eczema

i have in one of my ear canals of all places. That’s it. Pops up once or twice a month. Can’t say I’ve found any triggers. Surprising how much a little spot like that can hurt. Really feel for anyone who has it on large part of body. i just use an RX cream a few times the first day and it‘s usually gone by the next. Very thankful for that.

I once had to come aback after 3 years because they removed a polyp.

Yikes. My Mom had a large section removed. They tested me twice, clean as whistle , on the ten year plan now. the prep solution thing is a bit easier now, having to drink far less but, still dreadful

I'm embarrassed to admit this, but we had not booked for our March Disney trip.

yikes again.

We have decided to make our spring break trip a little more adventurous.

that sounds like a really fun idea To me. We are using our Allegiant credits from the Myrtle Beach flight that was cancelled on us in August. not thrilled to be flying into Sanford vs MCO. Free is free As they say lol. However, if I do see a cheapo fare on spirit or SWA, would be tempted to strand it As we did get a refund Back to CC Too.

But, I was lucky and started the meds in time before they got worse.

that would’ve been miserable flight, good thing.

She called me a pansy

mouth is agape. That is totally unacceptable. Hope you received an after care survey and filled them in on this.

apparently have deep veins

same, i.e. pin cushion. I let my ‘ex’ SIL practice on me when she was training to be a med tech. Told my veins have scarring, many blown out, stupid me. Back then they told them to draft family & oranges

Snow showers to be seen soon. Brr, as 20 degrees out.

same, supposed to get 2 inches today & 3 tomorrow. Please, let it be light & fluffy

Hope you`re feeling much better today Keisha.......tummy bugs are never fun. I get grumpy if I miss a meal......it`s a running joke......lol.......

Chicken wings sound good right about now........we may have had one glass of wine too many last night......... Thankfully lots of bacon helped this morning....





Dull day today, no breeze or sun, just grey all round.....clouds and sea look the same colour.

And an incredibly quiet day........baking, phone calls and some movie watching......

I’m behind in my reading
When I saw your post …. Well, thought today was Saturday
Enough said … lol

 

[Lynne G]

Sick house alert! Sorry to hear not feeling well, Keisha. Sending you lots of well wishes your tummy issues go away. Wings do sound good though. Yeah, no PA teams in the hunt. As if…..

Hehe, retail therapy for little one. Coupon in hand, great d bag of items. Shake Shack lunch. Yum!

 

[macraven]

Keisha hope you have not had to use the bucket today
Feel better real soon !

Hello. Somewhat lazy day today. I'm finishing up laundry while dh is watching football.

I decided to throw caution to the wind and booked a flight for my September trip. I decided to go ahead an book since the rates were low. I used some of my air miles (I can't believe I actually have air miles) and I think I got a good deal. I don't know. I've never done this before.

Tummy issues started yesterday, missed a couple of meals, how will i go on Still not quite right, no fever, going with it’s a run-of-the-mill bug & rather glad at that. Crazy world isn’t it?

Hope it's nothing serious and you are feeling better soon.

If you`re happy with the price you paid, then it`s a good deal. Glad you`re sorted though, look forward to saying hello to you.





Keisha.....hope you`re doing better as the day has gone on........



mac......yes, hope keisha hasn`t needed the bucket today!!




Ended up an odd day. Didn`t get out but did some baking. Then my friend`s granddaughter we look after sometimes spent the afternoon and early evening with us. Her dad called us today and asked if we could have her for a while. He had been called to work ( police) and my friend is away with work......poor little mite isn`t too well, non covid, so we were his first choice to look after her, she`s happy and settled here. Mother doesn`t live in this country anymore.....so bless her little heart, she laid along one of the kitchen sofa`s all day watching cartoons surrounded by the large scooby doo and the minion cuddly toys sipping pineapple juice that she loves. Made her some food, but she picked at it, but did eat some ice cream. Dad not long gone from picking her up, said we`re happy to have her anytime.

So, tonight is watching some dvd`s and an early night I think........maybe.....

 

[soniam]

@keishashadow Hope you get to feeling better soon. Don't like tummy troubles.

Charade so your flights are set up but have you booked your room yet?

I have been checking and rooms for my estimated dates are up there in price
$438 + taxes for standard room

 

[Charade67]

Haven’t booked a room yet. I think I have plenty of time for that.

My mom is back in the hospital tonight. She collapsed again, but this time vomited blood. She is going to have an endoscopy. The doctors suspect it may be an ulcer.

 

[macraven]

Prayers for your mom that she will be fine and heal

Oh that`s not good news Charade. She`s been through so much, this was the last thing she needed.

Hopefully she`s very comfortable and they`ll get her sorted out again and she`ll be home soon. And such a worry for you and all your family too.




Keisha......hope that tummy settled down and you enjoyed some football!!





Another mild night here strangely.....windows open again but our room didn`t feel cold. Sometimes around 4am if it gets cold you can really feel it, but nope......I`m sure we have some cold weather to come as we usually get the tail end when America is blasted.........hopefully not, but that`s usually what happens.

Will be reading this morning in the nursery which doesn`t take long, maybe an hour tops, then depending on what we`re doing we may go walking as it`s not windy or too cold.

Some kind of chicken dish tonight.......haven`t made chicken piccata for a while, might do that or maybe something else.....will have a ponder. Lunch is grilled sandwiches usually turkey, brie and thick cranberry sauce.....lush......not very diet friendly, but January days call for something a little substantial at times.

And must remember to post my sisters birthday off.....her birthday is later this week, I only have a few birthdays in January.

Time for my usual morning pot of tea.......

Have a wonderful Monday ​

 

[Charade67]

It's 2:30 in the morning and I can't sleep. It doesn't help that Caspian decided to loudly complain until I gave him some wet food.

We have a neighborhood mystery. Last night when dh and I went out to eat there was a fire truck parked across the street. When we came back, the fire truck was gone, but a police car was there instead. Later, one of our neighbors got on our neighborhood group chat and said she saw an ambulance there earlier. I don't know many of my neighbor very well, so I am not sure who lives in that house. I just hope everyone is going to be okay.

Caspian has settled down, so I am going to try to get back to sleep or I won't be worth much at work today.

 

[Lynne G]

Hope you got back to sleep, Charade, and still asleep now. Sending get well thoughts to your mom. I hope she gets out of the hospital soon. Darn cat.

Clear and 14 degrees out. Barely above freezing today, as 33 degrees the high. Another day, which starts with such a dark, then ever so blue sky, becomes a sky full of clouds as we enter the later afternoon. As such, no real warming from the sun we do get.

And yesterday, did my grocery shopping as well as to mall with little one. Remarked as we were driving, everything is so gray and dull looking out. Only green around is our fir and pine trees. And along our way, saw very few of them. And we went by part of where that tornado crossed over the one road. It knocked down so many trees, where it went by the large wooded area on both sides of the road. It’s all bare of trees on both sides, as awhile ago, we saw them cleaning up all the damaged trees. Looks odd, as it, on the one side of the road, is part of the state park that is otherwise very wooded. Hopefully maybe later, they will replant trees.

So not much to report. Will hear the trash trucks soon. As put the trash cans to the curb last night, my one neighbor came along, walking her dog. So cute. Little dog, had a red decorated jacket on, and wanted a pet. So I did. My neighbor said the dog loves people to pet it. But was so cool feeling out, quick pet and chat, quick dump of trash, and back inside. Never usually wear a jacket to take the trash out.

And as usual, up early. Highly thinking I need a longer weekend. May make this week a day shorter one. But a busy enough week. Birthday dinner out tomorrow with DH. He said he feels fine if we eat out. We will go early, and hope on a Tuesday night, it won’t be crowded where he wants to go. Then ah, refreshing and pampering with a haircut the day after. And thankfully, older one said he’s going with, to get his haircut too. Also the day, is when my MIL should be operated on. She’s been in the hospital a few day now, hopefully ready for the surgery. Should then feel like a quick week.

Tea is hot, and I need more.

Hope Schumi enjoyed reading to the little tots. So cute when the kids are so young.

Marvelous Monday homies. Good Morning as well.

Hope you got back to sleep Charade and hope no one was hurt with the neighbour incident.....keep us updated!




It is such a beautiful day here.....cool, but not freezing.

Fun time with the little ones.....one teacher suggested we read outside as it was glorious.....not on your nelly!!! So, inside it was....wouldn`t have been her sitting there.....sunshine or not, it`s not what you`d call warm.

Came home and then headed down to the beach and we managed 4 miles walking before I got hungry and we headed home. Grilled sandwiches were very warming and welcome.

Chicken pieces are again simmering nicely for tonights dinner, balsamic and spicy honey with garlic.......mashed potato has been requested, so will get the ricer out and have that with a medley of veg to go with it.

Sun is still shining and looks so pretty outside, but nice and warm in here. Ordered a few books I think I`ll like and some new walking leggings. Time for a hot chocolate I think.......

Slow day today. No updates on Mom yet.

Dh and I are about to come to blows. I just got home from work to find the propane heater on full blast. My thermostat says it is 81 degrees in the house. I just opened up some windows to cool it down.

Wow! I get cold easily, but I would never crank it up that high. We used to keep it at 69 or 70 downstairs. I recently knocked it down to 68. It's cold if you are sitting around, for me anyway, but just fine if you are up and moving.

Hope your mom is OK.


Finally removed the xmas tins from a glass shelf case. They have been in there for years I had to dust them, because the case, even with a door, still gets dust inside. Dusted and cleaned all of the glass inside and out. I put some of our Lego sets in it instead. I tried to dust them, but that was a joke. I had to just blow real hard on some and hope for the best.

I am going to make picadillo tonight. I dug out the rice cooker for DH. The only rice we had in the house was sushi rice; he was fine with it. It's been years since I cooked rice. The cooker is one of the Japanese fuzzy logic ones, and it cooks pretty fast. I am glad it still works. We have had it since before our son was born. He will be 16 next month. I had to figure out how much water to use. Some of the words on the cooker and most of the instructions are in Japanese. There's just enough in English for me to do it. I started it way too early, but it has a warming feature. I'll have to see if it needs some water but probably not with the lid on. I tasted it, and it was perfect. I will have cauliflower rice with it.

It's sort of cold, 50s, and rainy here to day. Pretty dreary weather. Yuck.

 

[Pumpkin1172]

A Monday stop in!

Geeze, I was hoping to stop in earlier, but you know how things go It was a busy/not busy weekend.

It was a great weekend to putter around the house. Dh and older son were busy fixing their purchase ( a small toy trailer to haul the snowmachines and quads) and get it road worthy on Saturday, then on Sunday Dh and both boys went to the indoor archery range all afternoon. So I had lots of free time to putter and do what I pleased as no one was coming in to make a mess right after I had cleaned lol. As much as I enjoy doing things with them, I also enjoy my time alone when they are not in my way while I'm trying to clean or cook.

Went to the gym Friday night, and in my ultimate gracefulness, I rolled and twisted my left foot. It seems better today. I think I'll go to the gym tonight, but not push my speed and still try to get some steps in.

We also finally got to see the New Spiderman movie. It was VERY GOOD!!! I wasn't sure what to expect - and older ds who loves Spiderman was raving about it. They did a great job of trying up the story line for the trilogy. It has some surprising moments in it that I wasn't expecting. Also watched The Eternals on Saturday night on Disney+. That was also good, not your typical marvel movie. I will have to watch it again, as I think there is sooo much in it, I feel like I missed a few things.

pumpkin has us ‘beat’ tenfold I’m sure. nothing like that first breath of that air to wake you up.

That is still cold!!! It's always a wake up call when you step outside and that first breath you take makes you cough/choke because it's so cold and dry outside. I hope your starting to feel better from your stomach bug.

So I have give up on the Priceline idea. When I went back to the website the low rates had already disappeared. We have decided to make our spring break trip a little more adventurous. On Saturday we will drive down to Williamsburg. We might spend a few hours at Busch Gardens, or we might do something else. the next day we will drive to the Norfolk airport. All 3 of us were able to get a direct flight to Orlando for just over $500. When we get back from Disney we will go back to Williamsburg and stay overnight then drive home the next day. Even with 2 hotel stays and airport parking it is about half of what we would pay to fly out of our local airport.

I am glad you found flights that work for you!

Ended up an odd day. Didn`t get out but did some baking. Then my friend`s granddaughter we look after sometimes spent the afternoon and early evening with us. Her dad called us today and asked if we could have her for a while.

Sounds like you had a great visit with her. Ice cream will trump many things!!!!

My mom is back in the hospital tonight. She collapsed again, but this time vomited blood. She is going to have an endoscopy. The doctors suspect it may be an ulcer.

I hope you hear more news on your mom soon.

I have zero green We have white or white, brown trees and then gross dirty snow with salt. sand salt mix. Those are our winter colors. I can't wait to see the green in Orlando when we arrive!

Well, even this took me long enough to get out. Things keep appearing on my desk today. Lots of little things to take care of and papers to organize and shuffle.

Have a great evening everyone....stay safe!
