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

[schumigirl]

Good evening everyone. I have an update on the crazy family saga. Yesterday my sister got a call from our cousin. She is angry with us for sending her mother a letter demanding the return of our mother's money. She did say that my aunt will be sending a cashier's check when she is feeling better. My aunt allegedly had a bad reaction to a flu shot. We still aren't sure exactly how much money will be returned. My aunt and cousin again accused us of not caring about our mother. I guess they think that all we care about is Mom's money, but we just want Mom to have what is rightfully hers.

My sister also told me that Mom got a letter from a collection agency regarding an unpaid $1500 hospital bill from March. My brother reminded me that when we stayed with Mom for a week last summer she said that she had a bill that was over $1000. She said that my aunt had put the bill in a bag of papers that was in her closet. I looked in that bag and all over my mom's room and couldn't find the bill. My sister found a past due notice for the bill this afternoon. This is something that my aunt should have taken care of, but obviously didn't. Ugh, I can't wait until this is all resolved.

Not much at all. Just a coating. All of the streets were dry when I went to work this morning.

I am not familiar with foot peel bags. I will research.

The movie wasn't very memorable. I like Jackie Chan in his action movies. I wonder why he chose to do this one.

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.

Happy birthday. I hope it is a super fun one.

Both my sister and niece have birthdays this month.

Your aunt and cousin are classically deflecting from the real issue, don`t let them as you know you all have your mum`s best interest at heart, and yes, that includes making sure as best you can the money is returned. Sounds like they know they are guilty as sin and doing their best to distract you from the real issue which is them.

Yes, of course you`ll be glad to see the end of it. And hope your mum is doing better and continues to improve.

In January we have Kyle`s birthday, my sister, sister in law, friends daughter and 2 friends.........plus a token card for an acquaintance......not as busy as September, that`s our very busy month for celebrations.

Hope your weather continues to be not too bad......





I haven`t slept as long as that for a long time.......heard the howling wind and rain outside this morning around 6ish, got snuggled in to my lovely husband and went back to sleep till around 8am. Best way to start the weekend.......

No plans today....another good way to start the weekend........I just need to pop over to drop one of our friend`s daughters birthday presents, got her some pyjamas she wanted and a Grinch teeshirt from Orlando with some nice smellies in there too. But, apart from that no plans.

Have a Thai curry simmering away for tonight, usually make it the day before but it`ll be just as nice and then just have the coconut rice to make later.

Lunch is bacon........yoooohoooooo.... @macraven ...........will set another place for yoohooo Got some brioche buns so will have bacon in them.....lush!

Happy Saturday ​

 

[Lynne G]

Happy Saturday to you Schumi, and yay, bacon. My DH’s birthday is this month, and I think that’s all I remember. We’re kinda spread out with birthdays in my extended family and friends. Though August has the most.

Blustery wind making it feel like 6 degrees. Clear skies, high is right around the freezing point. 18 degrees out right now. I’d say a wee bit cold. And poor older one, is already in work. I can see him taking a nap when he comes home in the mid afternoon. His allergies are keeping his sinuses filled, and we’re using a medical cocktail to hope some of the medicine helps. He’s used different medicines over the years, as not one or couple of, always give him relief. At least his allergies do not stop him from breathing normally, nor gives him a fever, and thankfully, no itchy eyes or hives. He’s had it so long, it also does not thankfully, interfere with his ability to do what he needs and wants to do.

And so, early bird I’m still on the weekend. So made some tea, and only interesting stuff I am watching is the local news. When it gets repetitive, time to find another show to watch. The issue with early morning, and particularly weekend, lots of infomercials.

Our shore is sandy, but snow covered boardwalk. The shore area got the brunt of the snows these last two snow dumps.

And so, with a relaxing day in store, though some grocery shopping should be done. The fact the little one went to bed close to when older one woke up, I don’t expect her up, or will get her moving by lunchtime. The idea of grocery shopping near a lunch place she likes, will maybe get her moving when I’m ready to go. Otherwise, I may just go when they open at 8am, as should not be as busy that time of day. Then that’s it. Oh, and with that clear sky being all day, I’ll be rocking those shades as I quickly go from home to car to store and back. Brrr, chilly feeling Saturday.

Morning all.

tried a new fried chicken recipe yesterday, Snoop Dog’s of all people. Yum, even using ‘healthy’ boneless, skinless breasts I cut into nugget shapes. Leftovers, probably will just make up a cheese plate & some fresh cut veggies to nosh on once the games come on late this afternoon. Tomorrow will be air fried chicken wings I’ve been accused of enjoying the munchies more than the games at times…guilty as charged

I'm only working half a day then off to head out for a birthday celebration weekend in the city

Oh I`ll join you in a tea....love a good one......it`s not Liptons is it

hmmph, Liptons makes the best iced tea

The tests have always been free here.....unless......and here`s the bite, if you want them for travel....then they`ve gotcha! But, should be changing soon. Hope you can get them soon........

thanks, I’ve a regular order & a S&S on amazon of not the binax brand I wanted. Oh well, beggars can’t be choosers. Fully expect it will be my adult children who come knocking for them As they have been exposed multiple times by virtue of being around more people.

To be clear: The ones you need to physically haul yourself to here are still free & in February the at homes tests will be too. Have a feeling actually finding them will be the issue. They’ll have to restrict or people will surely hoard them, possibly resell. Skeevy stuff

She did say that my aunt will be sending a cashier's check when she is feeling better.

and the cow jumped over the moon

I am not familiar with foot peel bags. I will research.

baby foot the original, rather pricey @ $25 a pair. I finished off my last one. Going to try a much more reasonably priced off-brand that is rated well on amazon

The movie wasn't very memorable. I like Jackie Chan in his action movies. I wonder why he chose to do this one.

lots of $ I’m guessing . he’s gone quiet on social media since early last year. Have been a fair share of rumors over the years as to his early demise.

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.

don’t blame you it is a walk from the lobby & bus stop. We always drive so not a consideration. I like being able to park close to the rooms there so the standard are fine for us. We often tend to wind up assigned in Jazz, not sure if that is an upgrade or not.

Will say tho, one time we were there for just a night before moving over to DVC Room, arrived just as dusk was setting in. We’re assigned what I believe was furthermost room in the country western section.

GD clamored to dip in that great main pool. among my fav due to the three caballeros theme, she didn’t have to twist my arm. When we went back to room it was fully dark. The noise as we walked along the exterior corridor was quite creepy, sounded like we were in the jungle. it is located next to what I imagine as a swamp. foliage seemed as tho you could reach out & touch it. I’d never have stayed in a ground floor room there for fear what would crawl out lol.

Brrr, chilly feeling Saturday.

i hope to hole up for yet another day, just too cold. Glad i provisioned on Wednesday. Ice storms looming for next weekend. Note to self to rinse & repeat early enough to beat the milk & French toast crowd Thursday/Friday

 

[soniam]

@Charade67 Keep fighting the good fight for your mom. Why can’t we just all get along Sounds like you will need that vacation for sure.

We still haven’t bothered getting tested. Home test kits are not available at all anywhere here. The pharmacies all show no appointments. The Mobil test sites don’t have appointments until Thursday. There’s a drive up one today, but the line started at 5am. Plus, the only fast results are the antigen, which is pretty unreliable for Omicron. The PCR results are taking 3-4 days to come back. We haven’t been notified of exposure or have fevers. However, the local winter allergies have the same symptoms as Omicron. DS hasn’t exhibited any symptoms, but DH and I have had symptoms off and on for over a week. Not really sure what we can do.

DS went to get a booster last night, since they approved them for under 16 Thursday. They had run out by the time they could get there after school and in traffic. He and DH will try another place today. None of the pharmacies have had any Pfizer appointments available since last week.

Smart fat and lazy.........sounds like me.......lol.........although some think I`m not so smart at times........you can fool folks at times!!

Oh I`ll forgive you for enjoying Liptons.......just because you`re you......lol.......

Yes, as long as the tests work, it`s fine. I keep saying to Kyle to test as he is mixing more than us, but so far all good. Folks are amazed when I tell them we spent 2 weeks in Orlando being maskless for 99% of the time and survived!!

I honestly never hear of those foot thingys......will look for them though, sound nice.

Enjoy that food, sounds lovely........you do chicken well!!!

@Charade67 Keep fighting the good fight for your mom. Why can’t we just all get along Sounds like you will need that vacation for sure.

Oh I hope your son gets his booster soon.....you`ll feel happier when he gets it. On the positive side, over here Omicron is showing to be much milder that you`ll get over quicker than delta which has disappeared over here now apparently......so much is looking positive.





Almost 5 o` clock......so having a gin cocktail....well, it is Saturday.......Gin, Prosecco and a christmas syrup that came with the Gin club Christmas delivery.....very nice.

Curry is still simmering at a very low heat, making some coconut rice to go with it, although there is coconut milk in the curry, it`s not too much though.

Had the nicest day.....did some trip report, spoke to my cousin on Long Island, one of my closest friends on Facetime and also my mum. Along with doing not very much it`s made for a lovely lazy Saturday......

Hopefully find a good movie to watch tonight on the big screen, will probably end up watching a DVD, maybe the Greatest Showman....haven`t watched that for a while.....we were supposed to be having a game night with another 2 couples, but things got in the way.......I don`t mind being home on a Saturday night.......

 

[keishashadow]

honestly never hear of those foot thingys......will look for them though, sound nice.

Part of the fun is the feet literally shedding like a lizard. I usually only do a few times each year. Several people I’ve recommended them to were quite freaked out by the results, even tho they get regular pedicures

 

[Lynne G]

Ooh my feet could probably need that, Keisha. Have to look it up now.

Kids wanted bar order. And so, bar food for us.

 

[schumigirl]

Part of the fun is the feet literally shedding like a lizard. I usually only do a few times each year. Several people I’ve recommended them to were quite freaked out by the results, even tho they get regular pedicures

I think what freaks me out more is the folks that pop their feet in those basins with fish that nibble all the hard skin off you......completely gross!!! I see piranhas coming at them.....

I don`t mind a pedicure.......but I do like the sound of that, will look for them.




Curry was delicious. Hot and spicy as you`d expect, and coconut rice turned out lovely, not too much coconut and just the right amount of spices.

Watched the Greatest Showman with a bottle or two of a beautiful Australian Pinot Noir......silky and smooth but with a punch.

Not as cold as it has been, but still too bloomin cold for me as we`re still in the minuses with the real feel......but, won`t be long till we head for bed....think I hope to have a sleep in tomorrow again.....why not, seems silly to get up in the middle of darkness for no reason, so will enjoy a Sunday snuggle.

And I know mac will enjoy some more bacon on the go .....breakfast is bacon in brioche buns again.......and watermelon weirdly. Not in the same plate though.

Off to finish last glass of wine.......

 

[Charade67]

Good evening everyone. Very productive day today. We finally got our Christmas decorations put away. We also cleaned out the spare room downstairs. It had become sort of a catch all while we were doing house renovations.

Your aunt and cousin are classically deflecting from the real issue, don`t let them as you know you all have your mum`s best interest at heart, and yes, that includes making sure as best you can the money is returned. Sounds like they know they are guilty as sin and doing their best to distract you from the real issue which is them.

I am certain you are correct. When my mom's time comes the funeral will be interesting. We will have family members refusing to speak to each other.

His allergies are keeping his sinuses filled, and we’re using a medical cocktail to hope some of the medicine helps.

I sympathize. Mine aren't as bad as his, but I can tell something is out there irritating me. I was having difficulty breathing freely last night and my eyes were watering.

don’t blame you it is a walk from the lobby & bus stop. We always drive so not a consideration. I like being able to park close to the rooms there so the standard are fine for us. We often tend to wind up assigned in Jazz, not sure if that is an upgrade or not.

I think Jazz and Calypso are the preferred rooms. B would love the Broadway section, but that is in the back.

DS went to get a booster last night, since they approved them for under 16 Thursday. They had run out by the time they could get there after school and in traffic. He and DH will try another place today. None of the pharmacies have had any Pfizer appointments available since last week.

I finally have mine scheduled for Friday. Hoping for no bad side effects.

Part of the fun is the feet literally shedding like a lizard. I usually only do a few times each year. Several people I’ve recommended them to were quite freaked out by the results, even tho they get regular pedicures

That might freak me out a little too, but my feet could probably use it. I occasionally use a Ped egg on my feet.

I think what freaks me out more is the folks that pop their feet in those basins with fish that nibble all the hard skin off you......completely gross!!! I see piranhas coming at them.....

Just...No!


Tomorrow B goes back to the dorm. I can't believe how quickly the break flew by.

If u have seen the old video of Kim kardashian getting that treatment, it worth hitting up YouTube . I still howl every time I see it

 

[Lynne G]

Yeah, I’ll stick with no fish eating my dead skin.

Ah a Sunday, and thankfully, that wind making it feel cooler than the 30 degrees we are at now. Yeah, a balmy real feel like it’s 24 out. But a dry, cloud covered morning, with cold feeling rain to fill our afternoon. See, thankful that wind blowing is Southern, so a cold feeling rain and not more snow. But since snow does still remain from the 4 inches we got the other day, will be a slushy mess when it mixes with rain. Hence, any errands I want to do will be done in the morning. Not feeling like getting wet. Though hoping it stops, when we drag those trash cans to the curb. Yep, a Sunday of getting trash out the door, and alarm already set. As back to routine start with the weekdays. But as a full back to routine, there’s a holiday Monday next week. Bonus time! Yes, you see, if I take Friday off, then bam! 4 day weekend and two weeks of shorter weekday routine? Oh yeah! Hehe, and not talking about that slide in VB.

Super Serene Sunday homies. Hope this finds you happy, healthy and just enjoying life. Hugs and good thoughts to those that need that friendly concern.

Ooh, such a quiet house. I think 5 am was little one’s bedtime. Like B, little one is back to the university, to start her Senior year. But unlike B, the university is virtual at least for the next month. For those that want to return to class, the university will announce later. Given we are not as eager to dine in places still, even little one is not looking forward to be in classes either, with a hundred others. So last semester about half the students were virtual. Will see when that campus opens is announced this semester. Even with half in class last semester, all were virtual for the three weeks that ended it, including virtual finals too. Those virus numbers are just not good right now. And we will see if the violence will return to the campus, as it did last semester. There is not much right now, to want to see little one attending classes in person this semester. But hope B and little one do well this Spring semester.

Ooh I need more tea. Highly distracted, may need to put more water in my teapot. Later homies. A Sunday is here! Relax…. And yes:

Oh you won`t be the only family that`s happened to......been to several funerals where it was shall we say, interesting......even went to a wedding once where the bride wasn`t speaking to her now mother in law........again, interesting.

Oh you`ll miss your daughter I`m sure, but she seems very settled where she is which will make you happy.

If u have seen the old video of Kim kardashian getting that treatment, it worth hitting up YouTube . I still howl every time I see it

Usually I avoid them like the plague, but that sounds a hoot, so will Google it later.........




Interesting morning.......well, not really.

Had a lovely late, cosy sleep this morning again, felt very refreshed when I finally got up. Planned a lazy morning and had settled down for an hour on the internet, but it was such a gorgeous morning we set off for a walk along the beach and it was lovely. Still a bit too cold but we bundled up with layers and sunglasses as the sun is so low right now we really needed them.

Walked for about an hour and saw a few folks we hadn`t seen since last year when we stopped walking.....think they thought we had disappeared.

Bacon on brioche buns again for lunch, I have a chicken slow cooking in the Aga for dinner tonight and will make some chicken noodle soup for lunch tomorrow.......

And a lovely Sunday it is for us.........

Happy Sunday

Yep, not for me at all.......

 

[keishashadow]

Doing my best to stay hole’d up here even tho we may slide into the 40’s weather wise. It’s all about football today. Cannot believe we are still theoretically in the hunt, even tho I need a cheat-sheet to keep up

“the Pittsburgh Steelers are still in playoff contention, needing a win against the Baltimore Ravens BOO-hiss, the Jacksonville Jaguars to beat the Indianapolis Colts and the Las Vegas Raiders and Los Angeles Chargers to not tie and they will be playoff-bound”.

DTV gave all customers the sunday ticket thing, wherein u can catch most of the games. if we could only figure out how to the Picture in Picture thing, we’d be set.

there’s a holiday Monday next week. Bonus time! Yes, you see, if I take Friday off, then bam! 4 day weekend and two weeks of shorter weekday routine? Oh yeah! Hehe, and not talking about that slide in VB.

nice! We were supposed to head up to Erie to spend the next weekend for one of GD competitions. pulled plug, just not comfortable with the exposure to so many unmasked people For such a length of time indoors.

had a home gym event this weekend. Restricted entrance to 1 pp/family, tho no masks? Go figure Sorry I missed it as…

Came in first place in every event! Highly unusual, have never seen it happen on this level of competition. At least I was sent videos!

Bacon on brioche buns again for lunch, I have a chicken slow cooking in the Aga for dinner tonight and will make some chicken noodle soup for lunch tomorrow...

yum. scavenger hunt of ‘fridge produced smoke salmon yesterday that will son be plopped on bagel/cream cheese/capers & red onions. Still have bloody mix, seems a shame to waste it . One DS coming to watch game, will make wings & try not to toss things at the tv.

 

[Lynne G]

Ah yes, boo birds still in hunt and not even fazed by being pounded by those cowboys. But yeah, would help if some teams lost and some win, as assuming we are the lowest seed, Keisha. Big YAY! For GD’s win at local meet this weekend. Go girl!

Eh, thought the rain would hold off. Decided to get coffee for beached whale little one. Ooh, 35 says the thermometer on the car. Raining harder than I expected. Car said icy conditions. Yes there was. Glad that Starbucks is less than 2 miles from us. I’m done driving with that freezing rain. Our kitchen is stocked as did not only a Sam’s run, but a Costco one too, yesterday.

Ooh did I smell bacon? Food in Schumi’s kitchen should be smelling quite good. Nice the weather let you get the beach walk in today. Our weather is fine for a winter liking duck, I think.

And so, older one’s allergies are still persisting. I guess we need to tweak the drugs he is taking.

Ah, if ever a family needs a day to relax, we are certainly thinking today is one of those. Screens on for fun, and thinking brunch will be bacon and eggs, and tater tots from last night. Will also make some chicken soup, as have broth, carrots, celery, box of chicken noodle soup, and not use most of the seasoning pack, and chicken from the order last night, a few wings, and a grilled chicken piece not eaten. Should be more then enough for little one to enjoy. I may take a small bowl of it too. Older one is up, but still not moving little one. Hence our brunch will be close to lunchtime, if not a bit after.

Refreshed the water in the teapot, and more tea for me. Did buy those hot chocolate bombs, that were a few bucks, as the package looked holiday. Don’t care, I’m sure they are still good. May try one later today.

Did I get the right ones........lol......I think I did........I`ll be supporting from afar.......I can boooooo and hissss with the best of them........

Love smoked salmon!!!! And oh yes, nice day to enjoy that bloody mix...why not!


And forgot to say........Huge Congratulations to your lovely Granddaughter.......that is quite an achievement.....and glad you got to see it on videos.......

 

[Charade67]

Good evening everyone. Quiet day today, so nothing much to post about. Dh has spent most of the day watching football. I don’t care much about any of the teams. This years super bowl will be an indifference bowl for me.

B is safely back in the dorm tonight. Classes start tomorrow.

 

[schumigirl]

Monday again......

I think our temps are not as bad this week, still frosty for us this morning but after that it`ll be milder....always laugh when they say milder for January, still too darn cold!

Got a few things to do this morning so will be heading inland a little where it can be like a different world at times. The town we`re going to has it`s own little micro climate, we can have no snow on the coast and they can be a foot deep, and they`re not too far away from us, about 15-20 minutes by car.

Then not much ahead, this is such a quiet time of the year.....everyone hibernates and some are doing Dry January.......nope, not doing that again.....miserable. February isn`t much better to be honest, but before too long it`ll be starting to get brighter and lighter again and folks will be back to normal.

Picture of the day is a nod to Shrek that closed yesterday, glad we saw it for the last time in December, will be interesting to see the replacement.

Time for tea, then breakfast later........

Happy Monday




​

 

[Lynne G]

Ooh, we are at freezing and icy on this clear sky morning. Below freezing by two degrees. A cold front has arrived, and while 38 the high on this mostly sunny day, 21 will be the high, with a full day of sun being the high tomorrow. And that cold air arrival also includes a good wind, so wind chills making feel like temps making ya that wee bit chillier. But yay, as 10 day forecast saying we will be in a dry period, with maybe a little snow shower at some point toward the end of the week. So while the clear skies drop the temp, I’ll take it. Will be bundled up on my lunchtime walk, though rocking those shades. Ah yes, the Winter weather report from my part of the world.

Hope your little town visit was nice, Schumi. Yeah. Our shore area can get the snow more then where I am, West of it. Far enough that if the storm stays more out to sea, the shore gets more wet than we do. But most times, the mountain area not far from me, tends to be the most snowy, though this year, they are making the snow, and hoping that cold air stays around for awhile, which it has not. And most of the snow totals we had from the last two snow dumps, mountain area got no snow, and the shore got the highest totals. So yep, a short drive away, and different weather.

Ah yes, both Mummy and Shrek both closed, with Shrek not to return. Will be sad for some time. Though looking forward to the updates and refreshing Mummy will get. And yep, let the rumors start as to Shrek’s replacement. And what part of it will continue to be an HHN house? Same with Fear Factor. Still using the stage area for a HHN show? Rumors saying Potter extension, but could be other. Rumors for that should continue too. Yay, I do think nice to see updates and new rides.

And so, clear sky morning, with clouds trying to block that sun arriving in the afternoon. And inside just warm enough nice feeling, I’m a tea drinking and already back to that routine. Monday. Yeah, a Monday again. Ugh. And I agree with Shrek:
