So far behind again! Missed some birthdays so belated
to all!!
Sounds like lots of you have been busy!
sounds like a lovely getaway
Mental health is just as important and being able to recharge will keep physical health up too.
I think you are right. Unless the community has gone through "curve" doesn't matter if you live in a cave you will still have "spikes" when people get out. period. Our "spikes" currently are still in nursing homes unfortunately. You can be as careful as you can possibly be but those who are super susceptible will get it sooner or later. I've got one NH that >80% of residents test positive, along with most of the staff. I really hope they think about easing some visitor restrictions on those recovered now.
Me too.
have tomatoes everywhere! Dog eats green ones he can reach. Made a fresh tomato sauce a few nights ago to toss with some gnocchi and leftover turkey burgers-the burgers were a a spanish style with olives, roasted red pepper, and bunch of other stuff but the recipe didn't call for a binder-and I realized it after I attempted to fry up the first 3-so those crumbled burgers went into the dish.
Ugh so sorry!! But Book the next cruise! Broke down and booked the Mexican Riviera one I've wanted to take-for 2022. Only 530+ days to go LOL! Allstate rewards has been offering offering CArnival, Royal, Princess gift cards for more than their usual 10% off (12-14%) since they started cancelling cruises this year. Knowing we will eventually get back to it I've been buying slowly the past few months.
That would have made me raid the fridge for ice cream lol
Or Exploding Kittens!
How very cool!!
Oh hope he is OK!! vaping is far from harmless, hope this gives him an incentive to quit and he heals quickly.
Dh finished paining the living area upstairs Friday am. Finally decided on a color WEdnesday.
Middle kid's graduation ceremony Friday. Went well. they were allowed to take mask off for quick picture (alone) holding their diploma case. Looking around the arena most were compliant with masks requirement but a few were obviously daring anyone to challenge them on not wearing it. Soooo wanted to say something but refrained. But I really wanted to point out what poor role models they are for defying the RULE and how dumb it made them look.
Out to dinner after with inlaws (DH's side both sets). My parents decided it was best to stay home-they watched ceremony on live stream. Restaurant had us room by ourselves.
Yesterday was small family and friends party for the girls (both graduates). Weather has been fairly decent so mostly outside-and was definitely outside with those who preferred it. DH's mentor from college and her husband came. She is the one who made our cloth masks for us. She ended up dean at the college. Her husband also taught there-turns out he is a rocket scientist-never met him before-and worked on the Mercury project, knew John Glenn. Middle kid talked with him for a while as that is her interest! May take a trip to Canaveral and look for the Mercury monument-has his name on it along with all the project members.
This am out to brunch with the in laws (and rounds of mimosas)-our favorite place has been able to greatly expand outdoor seating-was fabulous. But after we said goodbye to inlaws who were traveling home we came back and crashed for several hours.
Next week DH and middle leave to drive her car to Florida - I fly down a couple days later, although may go with them instead if there is room in car. Son and oldest are no longer coming with so spent day redoing flights home. Flight credits from both me and DH we forgot we had. Had to call to get it sorted. Will use one of DH's credits for his flight home from Seattle after we drive oldest out (already have my flight-jumped on cheap fares a while ago!). Oldest still has the pnuemothorax, got evaluated by the cardiothoracic surgeon, slowly improving at last check so next xray is the 17th. She had two xrays that showed it getting bigger so we were worried she was going to end up with a chest tube.
And Mother in law invited us to come spend a week with them at their resort in Puerto Vallarta in January. They go for 4 weeks. Thinking we may do it-and jump on cheap fares while flexible changes are still available. We've not been able to go before-but son is starting this fall with 2 day in person, 3 day virtual. and I highly doubt we will start the year in January full in person, and even if they do should be able to do some distance learning.
I think I am done for today. Sleep tight all!!
Will file it under the needs of the many outweigh those of the few & try to suck it up like a big girl but it sucks.
there are a fair few of us ladies around for sure!!
