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

Oh and I forgot to say, yes, I voted, I voted last week!

 

[snowpack]

Friday becomes ever so closer

C'mon Friday! Best day of the week!

Lots of errands to run and some not completed but a few more ticked off my “to do” list before lockdown tomorrow.

So sorry you are going on lockdown again. Hopefully it will be short and this will be the last one.

As I was trying to back out of the lot I accidentally hit an Audi. Thankfully I was going extremely slow and there was no damage apart from what looked like a mild scuff mark. I found the owner and she was really cool about it.

2. The Covid numbers at the university continue to go down. This morning they reported only 36 active cases.

So glad it was minor and you werent hurt. That's really awesome you took the time to find the owner even though there really wasnt any damage. Dont think many people would have.

That is outstanding news about the University numbers. Hope it keeps trending that way

Oh my, another beautiful sunny day, just like the one I was viewing out of my hospital window 23 years ago

Happy Birthday to your son Lynne. Laughing when I read the part of you singing Happy Birthday to him. They are never too old for that.

I put all Halloween things away yesterday

Ick, I still have to do that. So dark when I get home now. Hopefully I will get off on time Friday and get it all put away.

I did a treat table.

That looks so lovely.

Our grandson suffered a concussion during a football practice. He has been seeing a doctor weekly and is doing better.

Then I had to take hubby to ER a week ago. He is doing better too.

Oh no, how scary for you. I love watching football, ok I am really obsessed with it, but it can be so dangerous. Glad your hubby is doing better. Tell them you have had your quota for the year and no more.

I know we are all watching to see the outcome

Thats all that has been on our tv the past 2 nights. Surprised my boys and hubby who doesnt vote often are so involved. Really proud of how many people voted in this country. No matter the outcome we exercised our right and that is not something America has done on a large scale in a while.

they upgraded us to a Pool view since what we had originally was still not ready.

Hurray. Mummy Dust!

had breakfast at The Kitchen

Oh, how was it? We had breakfast there our last trip, just the buffet, well and the mimosas. Know it will be different when we visit but hope it still is wonderful.

I voted, I voted last week!

[
Wish my state did early voting. Dont think there was a short line anywhere at any time yesterday in our county.

Work has eased up a bit this week. I actually did 3 weeks of past billing and should only have a few hours of overtime this week. Looks like we are down a little bit in volume this week. While it will stink for the bottom line, I have appreciated being able to catch up a bit.

Been lurking and reading when I can the past couple months. Hopefully I can continue to get a little more time here.

Oh and the big news, after hubby and I cancelled our Sept trip due to Southwest and work, I have 33 day until I leave on our girls trip.

 

[Monykalyn]

Yep we voted! Waited 30 minutes, but one of the poll workers said lines have been going up to 1.5 hours. Got to go to Table Rock yesterday and all polling places I drove by had lines stretched across parking lots. Don't think our voting place didn't ever NOT have a line-have NEVER seen the lot that busy ALL day. My neighbor checked me in. Dh got an email very last minute to be a poll judge but he didn't see it in time to respond. He'd applied weeks ago.

Happy Birthday to Lynne's boy!!

Well first molting chicken is growing feathers out more and looking a bit less chewed up-but the other one like her has started her molt! Picked her up yesterday and tons of feathers came off-had a pile enough to start a feather pillow. Nice weather this week but back to cold next week.

So she decided that she would try to drive over it...............in her Prius. Someone eventually got her car unstuck.

Oh my gosh- LOL!!

Well, those dark toes are a symptom too

I'd forgotten about that! Yeah the wound care nurse at the facility where covid hit bad said it was weird dusky rashy thing. Said it was hard to describe and not something she'd seen before. Thankfully all the wounds have healed up. Even our more severe covid survivors seem to have recovered now. They had a bad outbreak late May/June.

Multiple staff at the facility, Working in different buildings (who don’t engage during the work day or socialize after work); have posted positive within a weeks time of attending the next to last rally.

UGH!! Hopefully asymptomatic and able to stop quickly

not my Intent to criticize you at all here!!! However, my perspective on nursing homes & covid may be different than yours; or the next person for that matter

Totally understand!!!! Frustration is the name of the game here too. One of the reasons why I am being restrictive and tested so often is because I go to different buildings AND areas. I think a couple facilities wouldn't care if I stayed in the building all day like normal but I am the one who's saying I'd rather be very very careful right now and limit who I see and where I go, for the buildings sake. One of the CMS guidelines is to not share staff. Priorities will need to drastically change though, take profit out of taking care of human beings and spend more on the people who take care of people first-before that tax incentive for the billionaires' new stadium for his billion dollar sports team to make him more billions. I love sports, but...priorities.

Our grandson suffered a concussion during a football practice. He has been seeing a doctor weekly and is doing better.

Then I had to take hubby to ER a week ago. He is doing better too.

So glad both are doing better!!

My niece and her baby were dressed up as Morticia and Pubert Addams

Way too adorable!!!

Dog keeps bringing in his soccer ball...son keeps chucking it back out.

It is warm apple cider season! This weekend will have an added flavor of caramel vodka to it...

 

[macraven]

Someone forgot to leave the porch light on...
Had a heck of a time getting here tonight.

Hope all on first and second shifts are having sweet dreams.
Night crew can check in any time

(I can’t be the only one that is still watching tv.)

 

[Sue M]

@keishashadow so maybe I shouldn’t pack the Lysol. I do have 2 packets of Wet Ones antibacterial wipes. But like a spray for the room.
I missed that you were in hospital. Hope all is ok.
Wow, just wow. I find it despicable that staff working in a nursing home would attend a rally then go to work infecting elderly in their care. I won’t get going on how reckless it is even to hold these things. Don’t want to get thrown off board lol I hope there are no deaths from this. Hope your mom is safe.

@Disxuni CB looks like fun. I’ll only be there arrival night but hope to have a chance to look around. We have a pool view at HRH booked again. I hope we have a view as good as the last one. We could see the parks, Rip Rocket was cool with all the lights. We like The Kitchen. Haven’t been to The Palm!

@Lynne G sorry I missed son birthday! Happy belated.

@Robo56 pretty pics! Hope everyone is ok now.

@Pumpkin1172 I knew I shouldn’t click on your video! Stabbin Wagon indeed. What was I thinking.

@Charade67 yikes, close call in the parking lot. Glad it wasn’t bad. Yay for getting billing results.

@DisneyLifePapioNe congrats to your son!

Seems I’ve missed a lot of goings on. All quiet here. I’m slowly pulling clothes out to wash then pack. Picked up a cute Simpsons Christmas tee for Universal at Old Navy. Also got some filters for my mask for flight, and decided on getting a face shield too for flight. It’s a 6 hr flight. I don’t know if they report Covid exposure in US local news, but here they do. Almost daily there’s several flights reported and if you’re in row 6-12 etc monitor for symptoms. It’s worrying. I’d love to have rapid Covid testing at the airport for everyone flying. So I’m taking more precautions. Also picked up wet ones antibacterial wipes, always travel with them. For years. But now no one will be looking at me funny when I wipe down my tray table and seat!
Trying to get my Christmas shopping done before I leave. Oldest wants an Apple Watch. Actually so do I lol! I also got my US travel medical insurance today, made sure it covers Covid. So now trip feeling more real. Not many insurance companies are including Covid. So it was a bit time consuming to find one with adequate coverage. Then decide which one to buy. Hope I chose well
I’ll be sure to leave the lights on!

Morning all - I’ve opted out of school run this morning as my blood pressure is low - makes me bit dizzy until I’ve had a couple of coffees and got moving. Grandpa and Em flew out of the door and L and J looking forward to fireworks in the garden tonight. We went to a specialist shop and got just pretty ones - no big bangs.

Waiting now with baited breath for solicitor call that Dad’s home sale completed. Anytime between 9 and 3. My stomach is churning and I’m sure I will be tearful - prepared for that and those around me very supportive of those feelings. I know I’m emotional but hey that’s me.

Lockdown is started now so again we are blessed to all be together and to have the little local shops open. We will walk to the paint store later as he has bags of logs that we need and a few bits from the little supermarket.

Hoping everyone stays well and has a good day x

 

[Lynne G]

Ah yes, a Thursday is here. Drink up, good for you.

Sending very good thoughts Julie, so house sale is final already or soon. Hugs too. Hope you are feeling better. Enjoy tonight’s fun. And glad you are all set, given the reclosings now in place. We are still have closed places, and limits on entries. I don’t see us being inside with many any time soon.

MonyK, glad to see ya post. Funny the chicken molt and look so goofy. I don’t remember seeing neighbor chickens do that. Maybe because a different breed? And haha, always made sure my labs kept their outdoor toys outside. Ooh, sounds like a good drink to make for this time of year.

Sur, good to see ya post too. Glad your trip is a go now. Yes, I had a tub of wipes in my backpack, and promptly wiped down my seat and table in the plane. Will say, the remote for tv was in plastic, but I still wiped it down, as well as door handle, tables and phone. I will say, they seem to have hand sanitizer around enough, that if you don’t find a sink near, good to at least have some cleaning done. Masks they sold are cute, bu just stuck with those throw away blue ones, as kept two fresh ones in my bag, if current felt too icky. Worked well.

Snow, yay to girls trip. Nice you will still get away soon enough.

Ah yes, always thirsty every morning. Yep, tea is my drink, and enjoying some now. Bought bagels when out last night. Was told no bread in house. Picked that up, saw the bagels looked good, so now we have both. Picked up cream cheese with the weekend grocery runs, so breakfast not too boring today. Toasted bagel with cream cheese. And maybe a leftover Halloween chocolate.

And yes,

 

[Disxuni]

@snowpack Yes, they helped us out! Also, The Kitchen was decent in the food, but the server we had was slow. He didn't come initially to our table for over 10 minutes. However, the food was decent and he came around enough to at least get two mimosas. The pancakes are pricy, but big enough to share unless you have a big appetite. A friend of mine got them and was shocked to see not only the thickness of the pancakes, but how many she received. They have a "family style" breakfast now for $23 for adults (do not recall the kid price). However, it's only offered on the weekends.

@Sue M I hope you get a chance to look around a little bit at least. The lazy river pool area is beautiful. I hope you get a decent pool view room at HRH. I always request a high level room as it ensures you always have a decent view to matter what kind of room you have. From my experience, on property if you get anything low, or even mid-tier you might get no view, or a tree in the way.



This was our view at the HRH.

Happy that anyone who wanted to vote got to vote! And happy thirsty Thursday as @Lynne G always says! I hope all you homies are doing alright and staying safe out there still! As usual just been doing school work since I've been back.

 

[Lynne G]

Sounds like you had a good birthday trip, Dix. Yeah, back to routine.

Darn my mail decided to get a blue circle for more than a few minutes, but back now. Grr.

At least a very sunny day, when we get that wonderful 70’s degree days, though the weekend. Thank you Southern High Weather System. Just a high cloud or two, and warm! Yay!

That’s a really rough view to have to deal with isn’t it...!?!?!!?!!! LOL.....love it!!!!!

Been nicer than usual around here lately!!!

I’ll be honest about this voting stuff, which I did vote as did my wife and 2 oldest boys, but I am outright disgusted with the way it’s going..........

 

[Lynne G]

All the talk of Christmas lights, thought would leave this light for all to not stub toes. Light is from last year’s fun at the little zoo.

And will leave a funny too:

Funny, no?

Yeah but if you have a mask on you won’t smell anything anyway.........right?

 

[Lynne G]

Yeah,DisneyLife?

 

[Disxuni]

I love Christmas lights. It's too bad it's not that common down here as it was up north when I was a kid. It was one of my favorite things during the holiday season. It's why I love going to the parks, or other places to see lights and decorations. If I can't really have snow, or cold weather, how else would I know it's holiday time?

I hope all the homies are having a good morning so far!

 

[macraven]

Disxuni, there is a lot of Christmas decorating in my area

Probably so since we don’t have snow and extreme cold that would prevent peeps from being outside.

We don’t decorate our house and yard for the holidays but most of our neighbors do.

 

[Lynne G]

Woot! A Friday. Sun is shining, oh so nice to have the weekend start now. Woot!

Someone is happy and wound up today!
We all are when the weekends come around.

Cute doggy!

Temps will be upper 70’s for many days here.
Nice!

Good Morning All,

Finally Friday!! Yayyyy. No plans for the weekend other than catching up on housework. Looks like it will be a nice weekend here. High 60's and sunny.

Really hoping that I don't have to work tomorrow. Was not planning on it as Saturday will be my first day off since Oct. 22. Still a lot of election cleanup to do but hoping that my work can be done Monday.

Miss reading schumigirl's posts. Hope all is well with her and family.

This was our view at the HRH.

Beautiful! We usually stay at RPR but I think we may tryout HRH for our next trip. I was hoping that we could get down there in December. I may have to just do some pricing during my downtime today

 

[Charade67]

Quick good morning while I am taking a break from house cleaning. Later today I will be running errands.

This has been one of the longest weeks ever. It seems like whenever I am about to resolve a problem another comes up. I won't bore you with all the details. If this week wasn't stressful enough the "nice" lady whose car I backed into has decided to file a claim for scratches on her bumper. I honestly couldn't see any damage to her car at all. There were some "scratches" on my bumper that came of with a rag and water. This is what I get for being honest.

I put all Halloween things away yesterday. I have the Angel tree decorated in the formal living room. Hopefully will get everything done in next couple of days.

Beautiful tree. I love angels, I have several, but no where to put them.

It has been a bit stressful here for past couple of weeks. Our grandson suffered a concussion during a football practice. He has been seeing a doctor weekly and is doing better.

Then I had to take hubby to ER a week ago. He is doing better too.

Oh no. Glad to hear both are inmproving.

I'll try to give a brief overview. Most of the excitement on Halloween happened at night, as we had our luggage with us so we couldn't go anywhere, got there morning, and waited hoping to get checked in early. It was a few minutes after 4pm where I finally asked about an estimation of when it's usually ready after 4pm and they upgraded us to a Pool view since what we had originally was still not ready. We got ready in our room and the Sanderson sisters finally made their appearance to City Walk that night. I wonder how many Facebooks we might be on. As we had probably 30+ people take our photo that we even know of (we caught a couple taking photos as we passed, or tried to do it "discreetly" while we stood at a couple of places). That's a rough estimation as at one point on our way to Margaritaville we got five requests back to back, because at one point when we were asked once, others started to queue up to ask too. Then we finally got back into our room to do drinks and eat our Auntie Anne's pretzels.

Sounds like a really fun birthday.

So glad it was minor and you werent hurt. That's really awesome you took the time to find the owner even though there really wasnt any damage. Dont think many people would have.

I just know how annoyed I would have been if someone had hit my car and not told me. I'm regretting it a little now though.

Oh and the big news, after hubby and I cancelled our Sept trip due to Southwest and work, I have 33 day until I leave on our girls trip.

Awesome. have a great time.

Hope you are feeling better now and the sale of the house is finished.

way.

Very nice.

Pretty lights. I've never been to the zoo at Christmas time. I should see if the zoos near us do any decorating.

I love Christmas lights. It's too bad it's not that common down here as it was up north when I was a kid.

Disxuni, there is a lot of Christmas decorating in my area

I recently found out that there will be a large drive thru light display in one of the theme parks in Marietta, GA. We will probably do that when we go to GA at the end of the month.

And it will be much nicer when all the politics leave the boards.

YES!

I should get back to cleaning. I need to vacuum. The cat is not going to be pleased.
