Quick mid-day stop in!
Not much happening today. Work is work...shuffling a few papers around here and there.
I am having a heck of a time finding any N95's here. I wanted to have them for our trip to Florida - especially for the plane. We can't get on the plane home without a negative test - OR if you test positive while down there, you have to wait 10 days until you can fly home. Driving home from Florida is NOT an option for us. I don't care about testing positive while there - I could think of a worse place to isolate, but work wise...Dh will need to be home. We are taking his laptop to be safe just incase, as he could remote work if he really needed to. It would not be easy for him as he gets many phone calls a day to organize or trouble shoot his guys through.
I am glad you found a bright spot about your situation. I read back a few pages to see what had happened. Sending you many hugs to get through that ugly situation.
I miss the days when work would come to me in the mornings. When our boys were small, I did the stay at home daycare thing. Horrible roads are NOT fun. Our roads here right now are terrible. People on FB are angry that the city hasn't been doing their job. Just soooooo icy and now compacted/ridge filled roads. Salt doesn't work when it's this cold, but they are usually out doing the sand/salt mixture to help keep the glare icey roads from compacted snow. Sigh. Good thing for winter tires and big coats
It's great that life is slowly starting to come back. It's great you were able to have tea with a friend! Your dinner sounds delicious. We are having chicken pot pie for dinner/supper tonight. I have challenged myself to clean out my fridge freezer and use up those items to get into better order.
Well, I should go shuffle a few more papers.
Have a great day everyone...stay safe!
Good evening. Another fun day trying to get caught up at work. Normally it wouldn't be so bad, but I have a lot that needs to get done because of the new year. I may go in on Friday (usually off) to get caught up.
Definitely true for southerners too. I got a new coat for Christmas a couple of years ago, but have only had to wear it once or twice.
He has such an incredible range. I actually watched a few episodes of Duck Tales just to hear him as Scrooge McDuck.
I think they are calling for a coating to an inch here. We could get anything from nothing to 6 inches.
I wouldn't want to drive to my home from FL. I can't imagine trying to drive to yours.
Dh wants to watch Boba Fett. I'm having difficulty getting in to this series.
Good morning. Cat woke me up very early today. I decided that since I was up I would call Disney and see if I was eligible for the new discounts that just came out. Unfortunately not, but since we are staying at a value resort the discount wasn't very high. On Wednesday I can make ADRs.
I feel like I could go back to sleep and have a nice nap now, but I must get ready for work.
That is part of the problem. I actually called our supplier where we buy our safety materials and other items from and asked if they had the 3M ones I was looking for. They did! So I have a number of them waiting for me to buy personally. I don't know why I didn't think of that earlier But I found some. That's all that matters.N95 is what DS and I wear on planes and movie theaters. He's wearing them at school now too. DH likes over the ear, so he wears KN95 on planes. I have only found them on Amazon. If you are getting actual N95, check the CDC website to make sure that the manufacturer is authorized and it's a valid part number. There are a lot of fakes out there. It doesn't guarantee that someone isn't just putting another maker's info on the mask, but it weeds out the lazy fakers.
I don't think the powers that be here will lift those testing requirements before spring. I will stop now or a rant and a ban will followI think testing will slowly change going forward. From Friday at 4am we in the UK now don`t need to have a PCR when we come home, back to antigen which will save larger families a lot of money, and pre deperature from the UK tests will be scrapped. We would still need to test within 24 hours of leaving the US and have a negative test. But, changes are certainly afoot which is excellent for travel.
YUM!!!!!!!!!!!! Those sound delicious! Now I want that for lunch too lolSweet chilli chicken wraps for lunch, hot and spicy.......
downright cold morning stop in!!!
Lord...it's cold again today. -42 ish with the windchill. Just tired of the cold now. It's been 3 weeks with nothing warmer than -20 ish. The forecast for next week is a couple of days with above freezing temps with no snow - which is rare for when it warms up. Hoping the rain stays away as well with warm temps like that in winter. That would just be glorious right now
Not much doing today. Have an appointment for my nails today. Time to get rid of the xmas ones I have. As much as I loved the little reindeer on a couple of my nails, it's time for just a nice clean french tip nail!
I have been told to wash clothes and pack a bag tonight, tell my manager I'm leaving early tomorrow for the weekend!!! Not sure what the family has planned, but I guess I will find out!!!! We are heading to the city this weekend. I thought we weren't going to the city until next weekend for gd's birthday. Since we missed her first birthday, I am NOT missing her second birthday!

Well, I should start to shuffle some papers around now and fill out some spreadsheets. My butt is really dragging for some
Oooh, I hope it's a really cool, fun surprise.have been told to wash clothes and pack a bag tonight, tell my manager I'm leaving early tomorrow for the weekend!!! Not sure what the family has planned, but I guess I will find out!!!! We are heading to the city this weekend. I thought we weren't going to the city until next weekend for gd's birthday.

I'm hoping for minimal snow. I was planning to go into work and try to get caught up. Last I heard was an estimate of 1-3 inches.Hoping it`s not as cold tomorrow as we do need to go out in the morning.....not looking forward to that!
Hmmph, I‘LL have disney know i get lucky quite oftenwait, they told you you just weren`t lucky!!!! Crikey.......and this is Disney?? Yes, that would never happen at Universal........
wow, that spread quicklyGood luck going out in that cold weather, Keisha. Yeah, I guess some are sick. 12 of our football team are out due to virus. Shocking.
got the mr hydroponic system. i assume he will dive into setting it up soon. I’m hoping for some lettuce. he has a full set up in basement with grow lights to start all his seedlings for the garden. Once he has everything planted, plan is to use for spices.Need to go buy a new chilli plant this year, the Birds Eye plant I had from last couple of years didn`t make it through Christmas, so will get to the garden centre closest to us I know had them this time last year, so hopefully pick one up, if not will wait till spring if I have to.
seriously, talk about a stinky welcome back.Good evening everyone. Stressful day back at work today. No one checked my email while I was gone, I had 7 saved voice mail messages waiting for me to deal with, and several people wanting to schedule as new clients.
apologies to mr Chan but, that movie couldn’t hold a candle to the originalI have never seen the old movie or even read the book, so I don't know how close to to book this series is. I saw a Disney version with Jackie Chan. I don't really remember too much about the movie and it wasn't that long ago.
i pretreated the hard surfaces late last afternoon, appears to be approx 3 inches standing. Nice, light fluffy stuff. Don’t even think I’ll bother taking out the leaf blower.We are hearing rumors of possible snow again on Thursday.
same here. Music our fav value as to the pool & overall theming. I still wouldn’t categorize it as ’cheap’ by any means.I am going very budget for my next trip. We are staying at All Star Music. I am trying to find out if there is any advantage to doing early online check in.
happy to report my down jacket is still hanging in closet.Seen this and giggled a little lol. But it's definitely true. We pull out the big coats.
absolutely. was disappointing to feel compelled to place yet another of the jik sort of order for more this week. Surprised to see they have a bit of a delay in shippingIf you are getting actual N95, check the CDC website to make sure that the manufacturer is authorized and it's a valid part number.
one of my guilty pleasures. disappointing they cancelled it.I actually watched a few episodes of Duck Tales just to hear him as Scrooge McDuck.
more than a few times have done the same there & other places. Always do at Sams club just have them plop those 36 cans of pop & bags of pet food in the trunk . I tend to buy them in multiples. My back thanks meBut as little one was with me, after our order placed in our car, she thought we needed more.
by the sea, by the sea, by the beautiful sea…you are truly living the life.Being beside the sea we are usually milder than inland, but not today.....I`m not going out at all.....but it`s so dark with the heavy cloud outside.
yea! Turned out only thing available our dates was at sports (my least fav for several reasons), not worth upgrading to premium there to save less than $5 a day.Unfortunately not, but since we are staying at a value resort the discount wasn't very high. On Wednesday I can make ADRs.
nice!As much as I loved the little reindeer on a couple of my nails, it's time for just a nice clean french tip nail!
if you could find them, our government was offering online purchase of at home covid tests thru various retailers until earlier this month For $14.No,I`m surprised too that they`re stopping some of the testing as they make so much money out of them, but folks are angry and fed up, I do wonder what prompted the decision.
I hope you didn't get too much. Even those little skiffs make driving conditions treacherous.We have light snow falling right now.
I was up several times last night as well. I laid in bed as long as I could - waiting for the Advil to kick in. It still hasn't...might have to pull out the migraine meds to start to feel human again.I must be odd with the sleep. Since I did that early evening nap, woke up around 2, then 4 am. Though my alarm does not go off until 1/2 after that, I could not get back to sleep. And so, very long hot shower, then placed some clothes in the wash. And like Schumi, having tea this morning.
That sounds delicious!!! I am starting to really love a surf and turf meal! I'll replace the wine with a ceasar - Canadian version of a bloody mary. I can't drink wine. The heartburn, headaches and honestly, my whole body aches after drinking it. It causes too much inflammation in my system. I would love to drink it, but my body just doesn't like it. Even the low nitrate ones.Ended up getting some filets for tonight, will sear them on the griddle as you`d need to be crazy to go out to the outdoor grill tonight, it`s such a damp cold we have here, not fun. Got some shrimps coated in spices on skewers too so we can call it surf and turf and a lovely bottle of red wine for later.
I would LOVE LOVE LOVE one of those. I have zero room in my tiny house for one. Enjoy it!!! I have one gf who has one, and she posts all the items she grows in it. And here in winter when produce is extremely expensive - I would love to be able to cut out at least a little bit of what I purchase.got the mr hydroponic system. i assume he will dive into setting it up soon. I’m hoping for some lettuce. he has a full set up in basement with grow lights to start all his seedlings for the garden. Once he has everything planted, plan is to use for spices.
decided to take a ‘me’ day yesterday, @ home facial, the foot peel bags (anyone else use them, love!) & mask on hair. Cracked open some of the new ‘fancy’ tea bags the mr gave me for Christmas. Ahhh

I believe Robbie should be migrating south soon
yea! Turned out only thing available our dates was at sports (my least fav for several reasons), not worth upgrading to premium there to save less than $5 a day.
nothing exciting for other dates I checked, including early July either.
nice!
if you could find them, our government was offering online purchase of at home covid tests thru various retailers until earlier this month For $14.
now, they are even scarcer & double the price. The mr asked that I order a few (thru amazon) to have on hand JIK we or the kids need them.
supposedly, next month they will be ‘free’ online to US citizens. Not going to hold my breath there. My youngest DS needed one after exposure to guest over Thanksgiving. Took me hours to find a rapid testing site appointment near him the first weekend in December. From what I understand, it’s even more difficult now No drive up mass testing clinics in our area either.
Friday morning stop in!!!
Finally it's Friday, and I'm only working half a day then off to head out for a birthday celebration weekend in the city Bag is packed, just have to toss in my toiletries then we can head out. It is lightly snowing here again, ,even though it's still way below normal temperatures. But gauging the way my head feels, we are in for another weather front to start moving in. Hoping the forecast is right...and I will have warmer weather on my actual birthday. It's usually -400000000. The joys of having a January birthday.
I got to my nail appointment. Nails are looking nice and polished again. I also colored the sparkles in my hair last night. I feel like a new lady today. I am NOT ready to embrace those pesky sparkles that are in there now. I would probably look like Frank off of " Shamelss"
I hope you didn't get too much. Even those little skiffs make driving conditions treacherous.

Well, I should attack this pile of papers, and get the sorted and spreadsheet completed.
Have a great day everyone...stay safe!!!
Not much at all. Just a coating. All of the streets were dry when I went to work this morning.Charade........hope you don`t get too much of the cold stuff........
I am not familiar with foot peel bags. I will research.decided to take a ‘me’ day yesterday, @ home facial, the foot peel bags (anyone else use them, love!) & mask on hair. Cracked open some of the new ‘fancy’ tea bags the mr gave me for Christmas. Ahhh
The movie wasn't very memorable. I like Jackie Chan in his action movies. I wonder why he chose to do this one.apologies to mr Chan but, that movie couldn’t hold a candle to the original
This will be our first time at Music. We've stayed at Pop, Movies, and AoA. I chose the preferred room this time. I am tired of being stuck at the back of the resort.same here. Music our fav value as to the pool & overall theming. I still wouldn’t categorize it as ’cheap’ by any means.
Happy birthday. I hope it is a super fun one.Finally it's Friday, and I'm only working half a day then off to head out for a birthday celebration weekend in the city
