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

Hope you do get a good restful sleep, Charade. And yeah, I think little one misses dorm life too. But she is enjoying her room here again, and is doing the online classes with a good attitude.

Akso chilling after some ice cream with fresh strawberries I cut up to give some sweetness that could have been more sweet. Oh well. Almost ready for bed, in about an hour.

HaHa. And will be seeing that 🐫 tomorrow. Yup.

With that,

481843 Yep, homies have been warned. It's hump day Wednesday. Yep, for most of us keeping that week day schedule, it's the middle of the week, so get over this hump of a day, and sweet as it is, Friday will be here soon enough. And while not a totally sunny Friday is predicted, 78 the high is. WOOT! (Yeah, and Sunday's high is 48. Sigh, Welcome Spring.)

And for those still hoping the Fall trips to enjoy some HHN and other Fall fun, Wendy, I hope your Halloween trip is still on it's ticker. And since I have already planned, did book flights. Good thing is, with points, and even with cash, I can adjust without change fees. I was hoping for a bit less, but I think the price was about the same as last year. At least those 2 parts are done. And now, I guess I will play the rental car game. At least I never prepay, so changes are free with them to. And, room only, so have until 5 days to cancel. AP, yep, have that in hand. And seriously thinking, going to buy that BOGO HHN ticket, by the start of June. Let the Fall planning begin, homies! Really hoping safer, and less scary times by then.

So, tea in hand, hence camel is enjoying some too. May your Wednesday be wonderful.

And, even as my car radio shows, oh yes, PSA: Wash your hands.
 
Happy Wednesday morning Sans family :wave2:

I hope this doesn't happen to my daughter. So far she hasn't gotten any notice of graduation cancelled. They're still trying to work out the online stuff for the rest of the semester.

Hope they are able to figure something out for those who are graduating.


I like sticky toffee pudding!!! ::yes::

Wow......that’s a big dessert.


Rough week here, death in family and mom woundup in hospital. Was able to go to see her Saturday before the hospital closed to visitors. Also, managed to get her transferred out ‘early’ back to nursing home on Sunday before they closed their door to returning residents. Had already stopped visitations there last Friday to all but employees.

My condolences Janet to you and your family.

Hope your mom continues to get better.

Hope the antibiotics keep things under control while your awaiting your procedure.


Re our now cancelled upcoming trip, appears the majority of the travel providers are doing the right thing & either crediting back the funds or extending travel credits.

Sorry to hear your trip was cancelled.


Great photos of Titusville! We like to antique there from time to time. Also, my family grew up there so they like the popular restaurants such as Dixie Crossroads and Kelsey.

I had never driven over to Titusville. Was a nice look around.


Had a pretty good day today. I went to Target when they opened at 8:00. They had about 6 packages of TP on the shelves. I grabbed a 12 roll pack and held onto it like it was gold. When I got home from work dh had this surprise for me.

Score..........as soon as TP is stocked here it’s bought up too.


Had to go and get some groceries for the farmer next to us, well, didn’t have to but we offered. Their son is away right now, and they are both a little unwell right now. So, we braved the grocery stores for the perishables they needed.......it is still manic. lines for the checkouts at that time of the morning here are very unusual.

That was so nice of you. The elderly are really being impacted by this and really need the extra help. A local grocery store here has set aside early morning hours just for the elderly to shop.
Spoke to a friend in RP earlier, and they‘re announcing the Universal hotels will close Friday 20th at 5pm


Sorry to hear that for all the lovely folks who work at the Resorts.


Happy belated birthday to your mum.

Had to run into Walmart for a couple things to make homemade gravy for spaghetti yesterday. Young man and girlfriend in their 20’s I would guess were in store shopping and he started yelling and cussing saying “why is everyone hoarding this is ridiculous”. His girlfriend was mortified and told him to shut up. Store employee went over to him and told him to please stop....and He would have to leave if he continued his behavior as he was upsetting other customers.

I fear the over all situation is having psychological ramifications on a lot of folks.

My sister told me yesterday that folks in Florida that stock up on items from stores during hurricane preparedness are able to return the items after hurricane threat is over.

I have only been here during one and we did not over stock.

She was wondering if the stores are going to allow the people who did all this excessive hoarding to return items after this quiets down. I for one don’t think they should be allowed to return things they hoarded at all.


Son and daughter in law are now working from home and the kiddos in their area of Indiana where supposed to be out of school until March 30th are now out until April 10.

My Canadian neighbors are heading back to Canada early as PM has requested all Canadians to return home if possible, but I hope they do not have issues getting across the boarder. I was kinda reading between the lines of the PM’s speech and those returning might get in and they might not.


Sun is shinning this morning :sunny: sending some Florida sunshine and hugs:grouphug: to everyone who needs it this morning.



Sending lots of mummy dust to all the Sans family that are sick that you all get well soon.


Going over to neighbors for brunch this morning. Need to get scootin and make something to take over.
 
Sweet of you to do that Robo. Hope all are doing well and are taken care of. Enjoy that brunch.

Eh, not even 10 am and are thinking of lunch.

Seems both kids are up, and little one has online class today. Thinking soup and grilled cheese. Little one will have the soup, older one and I the grilled cheese. Picky eater, does not eat grilled cheese. Though I will make enough for all to have soup.
 
We need all the sweet stuff & funny memes we can get!

Time to change the seasonal tree from st paddy’s day to Easter. Will set GD loose on that I’m rusty on occupying a very active child but getting there. Everyday is akin to being a snow day

middle DSs employer HR dept has deemed him and five coworkers as having risk factors severe enough to be sent home for a paid 14 day break.Fact that he spent time in hospital with his dying father checked off one of the boxes. As did his travel to Wilkes barre even though Almost 3 weeks ago. Will file it under Everyone trying to do their best

Forming a routine, taking the pooch for a walk. Crafts, school work review, anything but TikToc. Have set up Frozen 2 movie night tonight, ice cream & popcorn I’ll have Greek yogurt and pretend lol.


robo did u see NYC & other big cities begging health care retirees to step back up? Those I know who work direct patient care have shared many with immune issues are taking FMLA.

Canadian border now closed assume nationals will be permitted to return. Going to guess too many here we’re heading to less populated digs for an extended visit
And since I have already planned, did book flights. Good thing is, with points, and even with cash, I can adjust without change fees. I was hoping for a bit less, but I think the price was about the same as last year. At least those 2 parts are done. And now, I guess I will play the rental car game.

Nice deals! im letting travel plans sit. At least until everything settles with cancelled trip.

I didn’t book Return for August trip. Cant muster my usual enthusiasm right now. Figure the prices will go lower before the inevitable bounce back Curious to see what airlines will survive, even factoring in a govt bailout. So many have mighty low cash reserves after acquisitions & expansions.
 
Hey Lynne......I`m of the same frame of mind.....waiting for HHN Rush of Fear tickets coming out now......positivity!!!!

Thank you Robo…..mum had a lovely birthday, I`m just sorry I missed it. I think you`re correct about the psychological effect this is having on people. It really is like some have been infected with a madness that is palpable.

Hey Janet......I can`t muster any excitement for future trips just yet......I need to give myself a real kick up the backside......might do myself an injury though…..better not!! I`m glad we had our next two sets of flights booked and paid for as I think prices will go through the roof here....they`re bad enough normally!!! Good luck with that though, I`m sure you`ll find something......




Kyle`s offices told the vulnerable with underlying conditions to go home yesterday......he stays as he is very healthy......still a worry in such a large amount of people. One girl is around 3 months pregnant, told her to go and they`ll see her when her maternity leave is over.....in about 18 months!! She would have stopped working at 6 months pregnant. At least they`ll all get paid.

I think so many feel weary with this now, and knowing it`s not over is the worst part.

I read the headlines and simply don't know what`s right and wrong......except of course seeing the panic buyers is quite the sight to behold. We will do our regular grocery store visit tomorrow, for mainly household items and non perishables, if I can buy any of course.

I have an online grocery shop being delivered next Thursday, booked that last week, and now I think they may have suspended being able to book one for a time. Goodness knows whether the items I ordered will even be there.

All my friends have decided to abstain from visiting or going out for meals, drinks and even get togethers for now. But.....one girl in one particular group of friends is already cracking...….she has facetimed me and others about a dozen times already this morning....lol...she`s very social!!!

Tom is through watching a sci fi movie on the biggest tv......I`m flicking through several 80`s video channels on the tv.....bliss!!!

But, there is a general feeling from everyone that life just seems to have stopped...….folks moods will improve.

Trying to talk my mum into getting an ipad so we can chat to her through that...….I`m glad it`s not me that will show her how to do it.....you should see her with a mobile phone......technology is not her friend!!

Hope all are good...….
 
I am hoping for some great AP prices for the Fall this summer. Yeah, I feel ya Keisha. So many have to change plans. And haha, teacher caregiver service to GD. Lucky kid.
 
Sweet of you to do that Robo. Hope all are doing well and are taken care of. Enjoy that brunch.

Eh, not even 10 am and are thinking of lunch.

Seems both kids are up, and little one has online class today. Thinking soup and grilled cheese. Little one will have the soup, older one and I the grilled cheese. Picky eater, does not eat grilled cheese. Though I will make enough for all to have soup.

I like grilled cheese and tomato soup, sometimes I dip my grilled cheese in the soup other times I’ll put the sandwich on a plate and pour soup right on top, you probably don’t hear of people having to eat grilled cheese with a fork and knife to often.....!
 
:wave: Thank you everyone for the tips and the well wishes. I am feeling a little better today. The pain is shifting to more muscle spasms and dull pain. I have found that a combo of extra strength tylenol and advill are working okay. The incision sites are getting itchy so I am putting ointment around them but not on them. I went out to the store for a bit yesterday, glad i did but got tired quickly. I might try today to get a few things pretty much got a lot of stuff. I was in one mind set when shopping for supplies these past few days. The more that I am reading and talking with people who are more in the thick of it I think I am going to start buying stuff for more long term. I have been buying just fresh stuff and go to the store as needed, but I have this feeling things are going to change. My state CT is teaming up with NJ and NY to do stuff together and both of those governors are really putting tight mandates. I want to make sure we are prepared.

I don't think Charlie will go back to school this year. It sounds like once the mandatory school days was lifted they can keep them out. Our school district is doing on line stuff. Charlie has to do all his work by Fridays each week and that will count as attendance. I am glad to see they will get more credit. I feel bad for the seniors doing AP classes I have a feeling the testing will be cancelled. There is a good chance of no prom, or graduation. I read on another thread the May 2nd SAT is cancelled. Liv will be able to finish up on line and get her degree mailed.

The one area I have been worried about is they teens are both still working normal hours and the same conditions. Target is not following the social distancing guidelines. I really think they need to figure this out. Liv is a cahsier and was scared to go to work today. I supported her calling out. Charlie works in the back and not near people. I may call Target myself and talk to the store manager on what their policy is going to be. I think they should only have self check out machines working this way there could be more distancing.

Brian and the teens have been painting. We are still going to continue with getting the house ready for sale for the beginning of April. I know realistically we probably won't be able to put it up before June. At least we will be ready to go. It looks like the move will probably get postponed till the Fall. I don't see how Brian will be able to get a job right away. He heard from the woman who interviewed him after he left her a message. She said that all the new positions have been put on hold for now but that she will be moving his name over to the hiring manager whenever they decide to move forward. He is still in the running whenever and if they move forward. Part of us doesn't want to hold our breath.

Last nighty we had corned beef and cabbage. We used the instapot, it does a nice job.

Schumi I hope you are feeling better. I am sorry that you couldn't go visit your mom and sorry about your May trip. I am glad that you are still posting your meal plans daily. I do get inspired from them. I think facetiming is going to be a very important part of getting through this pandemic. I hope your mom gets an ipad!

Charade I hope everything works out with the person in your town. I am sorry that B misses school but that is a relief to know she was doing well.

KeishashadowI am sorry about the death in your family and I hope your mom is doing better. Routines are good I still try to keep my teens on them with stuff. We did Frozen 2 the other night and enjoyed it. I am sorry that you had to cancel your trip!

DLPN I always loved grilled cheese and tomato soup when I was younger. I like to eat my pizza with a fork and knife.

Mcrose I haven't noticed anything on instructions from our government here. I did get a letter from my health insurance company that we couls call a 24 hour tele line for questions and anwers. I hear you on just getting out and going for a ride. Oh fried tacos sounds awesome! I hope things work out for graduation for your schools too. I understand I am usually a very upbeat person, but have found myself a bit in the dumps today! Popping on here helps!!

Lynne I haven't heard about the plants changing to sanitizer that's good. It's good to be able to plan your next trip keeps you upbea and busy. I am glad that your little one is enjoying her room temporarily and doing good with on line. Tea sounds nice ice or cold!!!

Robo Thanks for the Florida sunshine. I hope you enjoyed your brunch with your neighbor. Our stores here have set up designated days and times for senior citizens and immune suppressed people. I am glad that they did that. I agree that a lot of people are going to suffer different types of depression through this situation. I am keeping everyone in my thoughts.

Pumpkin Left over chineese usually doesn't happen here, everyone devors it right away! I find it a pain to try and get the rice soft if I do ever have left overs. I hope everyone does stop panicking. It only makes things worse and then has a domino effect. At least your school system made a deciosion it is going to be painful if they keep reevaluating every two weeks.

Cam757 I hope you were able to find corned beef. You never know from hour to hour what is going to close and what you are expected to do it is crazy. We are trying to get what we need but not panic buy, it's a delicate task!! I hope you are feeling better.

Mac I hope you. Mr. Mac and the kitties are doing good. It sounds like you have your take out in order and ready to go. I have meals for everyday but I think I am going to order take out this week to try and help out our local restaurants that are hurting. We do have Dominos down the street if we want it.

larissa I am sorry to hear that many so close to you. I hope everyone gets the medical help they need. Stay safe!!! Our area has not done anything like that yet, I am sure we have cases just not confirmed yet.

Disx I hope you are doing good with classes. I can't wait to live down there one day and try all the places. I have heard about Titusville and look forward to a visit.

:wave: to all the rest of the SANS family. I hope everyone is staying healthy and safe. Look forward to everyone stopping by.
 
Bobbie, sending some more good wishes that you are feeling better and no more pain or itchy. At least the drugs are giving you some relief. Yeah, I can see the township schools not going back and end of school now. Sad for high school seniors for sure. And as I said before upthread, our City universities’ seniors get a virtual commencement, no in person one. Sad no family and friends cheering the graduate. And finishing their last semester online.
 
Well, the rumor mill is at full speed. The big story that is going around Is that the person in our town tested preliminary positive in another state, but came back to work anyway. If this is true then he/she has been exposed to many, many people. The place where this person is a large employer in this area. I hope we get the full truth soon.

:wave2:Good Morning Homies!

Want a piece of cake?

Love the cake. It looks very realistic.

Had to run into Walmart for a couple things to make homemade gravy for spaghetti yesterday. Young man and girlfriend in their 20’s I would guess were in store shopping and he started yelling and cussing saying “why is everyone hoarding this is ridiculous”. His girlfriend was mortified and told him to shut up. Store employee went over to him and told him to please stop....and He would have to leave if he continued his behavior as he was upsetting other customers.
I've been complaining about the hoarders too, but I do it much more quietly.

I fear the over all situation is having psychological ramifications on a lot of folks.
I won't be surprised if we start getting more calls at my office.

Seems both kids are up, and little one has online class today. Thinking soup and grilled cheese. Little one will have the soup, older one and I the grilled cheese. Picky eater, does not eat grilled cheese. Though I will make enough for all to have soup.
Would you believe that B has never eaten a grilled cheese sandwich?

middle DSs employer HR dept has deemed him and five coworkers as having risk factors severe enough to be sent home for a paid 14 day break.Fact that he spent time in hospital with his dying father checked off one of the boxes. As did his travel to Wilkes barre even though Almost 3 weeks ago. Will file it under Everyone trying to do their best
A little scary to think about, but glad he is getting paid for the time off.

Trying to talk my mum into getting an ipad so we can chat to her through that...….I`m glad it`s not me that will show her how to do it.....you should see her with a mobile phone......technology is not her friend!!
I can't even talk my mom into getting a mobile phone. She thinks they are too complicated.

My small town has 12 confirmed and many more who haven’t been able to get tested yet. Our local hospital set up a triage tent outside for those with Corona symptoms. We are working from home and the whole thing feels surreal.
Oh wow. We have a new drive up testing site, but they are being very strict on who they will test.

I am feeling a little better today.
Good to hear.

I don't think Charlie will go back to school this year.
I really feel for high school seniors this year. They are going to miss out on so much.

Need to start thinking about dinner. I think tonight will be ham and mashed potatoes.
