I'm tired of cooking/preparing 3 meals a day. It's just the two of us but boy oh boy can that woman eat!! She stays slimish, I get fattish. It's bad enough I do everything here much less start making her one thing and me the other. At times I feel guilty when I buy her fast food cuz of the nutritional value....not to mention I eat it too.
way - hope you are feeling better. So easy to catch bugs from the little ones.
Sorry about your stomach bug, nacy. Hope you get over it quickly.
Alva - that's great and I am sure is the answer. I have sniffles all the time but they are allergies.
I believe I got this at the dinner theatre. Lots of unmasked people there and the timing would be right. I thought about it but not sure how to manage a mask when you want to eat. The closest contact with the most people was when we were in the buffet area loading up our plates. A mask then probably would have helped.
I used to grocery shop near closing time as there were few people and that worked. One day I ran to the grocery store during the day time and suddenly found myself surrounded a bunch of little kids and thought "Oh, oh!". Sure enough I came down with what I think was RSV. Talk about coughing! That was a couple of years ago and the last time I had a bug.
Yesterday I got dressed, wrapped myself in a blanket, took my mug of coffee and sat outside for a while watching LIFE! I know the soil is full of it, the trees, even if dormant are alive. the cars of the road are driven by people with lives...It was therapeutic.
Tomorrow there will be workmen plodding in and out getting the condensate lines set up. Fortunately for us the work will be in the furnace room which is out on the balcony.
Actually felt like doing a little housework today so I must be getting better. 😊
I will say, I'm not a huge facemask wearer , but if you vote tomorrow I'd definitely wear one. Many people will be dragging themselves there sick.
Gonna be a good day to start Hallmark Christmas movies.
We never had pets until my daughter brought her ( then ) kitten home . She had come back home to live with us ( for 2 years ) after graduating college .
I had to talk hubby into letting our daughter bring a kitten home. Long story short , when our daughter and her cat moved out , we got our own kitten 6 weeks later . Both the cats are female . I’ve heard too many horror stories about male cats.
I’m allergic to dogs . Although I do dogsit my daughter’s fiancés dog ocassionally when needed . I bring my meds along .
DH and I had a stray dog for 4 days until he was reunited with his family. As adorable as he was, I just couldn’t handle all the attention. Every time I left the room he would jump up and follow me. I must have done alright by him though because when his family came to take him home he wanted to stay.
But Princess rules whenever she comes to visit since she used to live with us before I got my cat . She always remembers the house even if it’s been 6 months since she visited . ( My daughter took the princess with her when she moved out 4 years ago ).
Princess jumps out of her carrier and the cats boop noses and then princess hisses as she needs her alone time to check out her old home . She runs straight upstairs to my daughter’s old room for a while . Then she comes back downstairs to complete her tour , checking each room .
My cat always wants to play . Princess will play with her chasing each other at 4am. 🙄🙄
I have always hated the return to standard time. Maximize evening sunlight! Never, ever did any of my kids get up early to play outside before school. But they’d come home from school with excess energy and stress to blow off. By the time they got home, dumped their stuff, and had a snack, it was dark. I hated running errands on my way home from work in the dark. DST all year please!
Yes, I am a bundle of contradictions; more so lately than ever! I should probably explore that but In the immortal words of Scarlett O’Hara, “I’ll think about that - tomorrow”.
I'm just starting to be able to sleep till 6am, it's taking me years, and now with the time change, that is going to be a struggle again.
Actually curious, how many hours is normal amount of sleep you all need?
I know it varies with age, but I honestly feel like I don't need more than 6 hours, and it's very frustrating, because I like sleep, I just don't need much, and days are long .
Maybe once a week I may be able to get 7 , but average is 5-6 and I don't often feel like I'm overtired.
Peasuep, 😂 your right that is funny, you did do that
Cwillie, I know what ya mean, I f
Don't fall asleep to early, but I get really lazy in the evening, and it's a struggle to push myself to move. The couch, my cozy blanket, and Netflix, is always calling me.
So sorry to read you have the flu .🤧🤧 Hoping you get better real soon , and the fibromyalgia flare up lessens as well .
It is that season , I’m battling a nasty cold myself right now from the kids I babysit.
Uggh, up way too early today . This changing the clocks stinks .
