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

[keishashadow]

saw on youtube the Donkey Kong coaster is pretty jerky with the stopping and starting. I have been looking at rides and trying to figure what I can do because of my back and joint issues.

O, hadn’t heard that. Wah. Please report back as to the attractions you find that don’t work for your issues.

Spent last hour securing all the lawn furniture etc. it’s beautiful, 84 degrees and sunny, until it won’t be soon. Just say no to straight line winds that over last few years, more often than not, have turned into isolated funnel clouds in our area.

GD had track meet today, they cancelled all after school activities yesterday in anticipation of the storm. Trying the pooch on new chew vs gummies (had issues with the texture after opening pkg within a couple of months?) for his storm anxiety.

Have dinner almost ready in anticipation of power outages. Of course the augratin potatoes are taking nearly double the time to properly cook. They just aren’t my balliwick lol, taste good enough, never have the right look tho.

Charade - you got this! Have a great trip

We are among the few with power here. No fatalities at least! No estimate on restoration 2 DS will probably lose contents of freezers as I had no spare room after stocking up last week

Around our house, many trees fell this one just 50 ft on edge of woods


Couple blocks away

Interesting that just a few came up with roots, majority snapped off

Good morning everyone
















Enjoy a warm beverage of your choice and enjoy the morning.


Janet hope the storms were not to bad yesterday.

Charade hope you enjoyed the concert last night.

Not much going on here this morning. I did get my closet cleaned and organized and have 4 bags for donation. I will drop those things off this morning when they open.

I’am picking little J up from school this afternoon. Looking forward to seeing my little buddy. Not sure what we will get up to. Will let him decide on what he would like to do.

Have a few errands to run after I drop off the donations this morning.

Have a wonderful Wenesday everyone doing whatever makes you happy.

Sorry to hear that with food being so expensive. That is a costly loss.

Wow……I was wondering how you all faired after the storm. Looks like a lot of damage. So glad to hear no one was hurt.

 

[keishashadow]

Thanks It was quick but, impactful.

Makes you ponder how quickly things can change

I’am picking little J up from school this afternoon.

Is he feeling a bit better with the allergies?

DH & two of my DS are still having seasonal allergy issues Seems to be taking longer this year to pass for them

Ah yes, medicated is older one. Had to wash off the pollen on my car windshield yesterday morning. He did mow the grass, so a sniff of medication and a shower is his reward. Also sprayed the heck out of the wasp’s nest starting next to our door. Seems like we do that spraying area every year. I keep bug spray in the closet next to the door.

Ack, to those winds, Keisha. And sad to hear no power for your DSs. Emptying out refrigerators and freezers time. Not fun at all. Been there.

Robo, nice to donate no longer needed items. And yay, for getting to pick up little J, for some after school fun time with you.

Safe travels to Charade in that crack of dawn flight start tomorrow. Enjoy that FLA heat, and have a blast enjoying the new park.

DJ, thanks for sharing the park info.

Most perfect is today, as glorious sunshine and almost warm enough you’d think it was late in May today. Shorts are now in the rotation. Though we will pay for this nice stretch of warmer weather Cool front arriving at the end of this week, with 78 the high temp today, and 60 the high to start next week day, on Monday. Rain chances Friday through this coming Wednesday. Those April showers continue through the first full week in May. Grass and all our plants are now growing happily.

Ooh, who do I see today?



Woohoo is right camel. It’s a Wednesday today, indeed. Close enough to the weekend, I’m starting to see it. But very glad we are at the mid week already, and very glad to be enjoying a three day weekend to end this week.

Woot for all of us getting over this hump of a day feeling, this Wednesday, the last one of April this year, and the second day of May is Friday, then a day away.

Most Wonderful Wednesday to all, today.

Hello everyone. I am briefly back home before leaving again in less than 12 hours. Anyone want to come to my pity party? There will be lots of whine.
Yesterday morning I woke up at 4:00 and had trouble getting back to sleep. After work I drove 2.5 hours to my hotel and then the concert. I woke up at 4:00 again this morning, but managed to get back to sleep until 7:30. Drove 2.5 hours back to the office and worked a short shift. Late this afternoon my stomach started feeling iffy. Just what I need just before a trip. When I got home I decided to take a short nap, but first I had to clean the living room floor. Someone had knocked over a water bottle (the one we threaten the cat with when he misbehaves) and the water had run under the sofa. Stretched out on my recliner, turned on some 80’s videos, and heard the cat vomit. Cleaned that up, sat back down, and he threw up again. (He’s fine.) Got that cleaned up too. I don’t really have tome for the nap now. I still need to pack and pay some bills before I leave.
I hope my stomach feels better in a few hours.

Yikes! I am glad you are okay and didn’t get any damage or lose power.

Charade hope you enjoyed the concert last night.

The concert was a lot of fun and I got to meet Mickey but it was very brief. I’m still a little surprised that he is still performing at 80.

Safe travels to Charade in that crack of dawn flight start tomorrow. Enjoy that FLA heat, and have a blast enjoying the new park.

Thanks Lynne. I am not looking forward to the heat and humidity. I’m glad I am going alone. I can move at my own (slow) pace.

I guess I should start packing now.
I’ve been watching 80’s videos. Does anyone else think that Lionel Ritchie’s “Hello” video seems a bit creepy now?

There's a lot of older music, movies and TV that seem creepy now.

Currently on the shuttle bus at MCO waiting to go to my hotel. I know they probably won’t have a room ready this early, but I really need a nap.
