Hey all, hope your weather is better than what we have here.
Didn’t get the 1st projected frost of the season but I could see my breath this am when i took the pooch out.
Naturally, need to run out of house to provision today. No way am I going to deal with Saturday crowds. First time ever was disappointed with the quality of produce & fruit that the instacart person selected. Hope that’s not a trend. Found it quite helpful at the beginning of this mess when I didn’t want to deal with crowds.
Health scare when I got home from trip, wound up in hospital and still doing testing Left & right, scheduled into next week. Feel fine now but try telling them that
.
Will say, I either had the most gentle nurse of all time or all the kvetching over how awful it feels to get a covid test is greatly inflated. admittedly, an odd, uncomfortable sensation to say the least.
Whenever a medical person says something is going to hurt, my question is: “childbirth pain hurt?” Thankfully, thus far, nobody has answered in the affirmative! Life is good
Ended up doing a run to Taco Bell...
Guess no one here is surprised we did that
Mr Mac’s decision
There are days, when I don’t feel like cooking, that even I (non Mexican food fan) would welcome Taco Bell grub.
Good opportunity to take out clothes for Orlando trip next month. I’ll put aside to wash.
I have what I call ‘park clothes’, wicking stuff I never wear anywhere else. Same as with shoes, partial to my keen sandals there. Admittedly, my fashion sense flys out the window then.
A lot less complicated (I've never learned the code, but have edited it before) and more creative.
I read your post twice. Have decided whatever you are studying is far above my paygrade
. You go, girl!
usually notice homies back from a Darkside trip take their time in getting here to post.
A lot to talk about before the vacations and then when back home, normal life routine, keeps peeps busy
I’m sure Lynne is staying busy with her job.
She puts long hours into it.
Haven’t seen many posting now since their trip but they come back home here when they have time.
It’s like sending your kids away for school...
Some are not in a rush to return home right away.
Good summation
Charade my kids did the flat Stanley thing when they were in grade school.
Did not know that fun project is still supported in schools.
It’s a fun thing for the kids and glad it is still being done.
I miss flat Stanley, looked forward to the weekend the kids would have ‘custody’ of him. Would let them dream up adventures for him, always surprised me. He is not currently a part of curriculum here, a shame.
I phoned Universal to see if I could use voucher for the 27th coming in a day early and recoup my lost day, but no, voucher not valid that day.
Didn’t know there were black out days enforced.
Still kicking myself for not pinning down reservations for the weekend after Thanksgiving. Not using voucher, but never have had an issue booking at decent rate after we return from fall trip. Same this year. Checked shortly before that trip, all was well. Of course, everything doubled in price/sold out by the time re returned home
Had expect due to usage of them the weekend after Thanksgiving Perhaps, they only offer a % of rooms for that ‘free’ rate?
Rff, now I’m thinking of Barry Manilow songs and butterfly’s.
Good Saturday morning to all!
Believe I saw him twice or thrice in concert back in the day. No, not my idea lol. Will say he put on a heckuva a show and seems to be a swell guy.
no Blenheim Palace for us today........arrived just after 9.30 and we were told it would be 4.30 before we could enter the Palace........er, no, I don‘t think so......no way would we wander round gardens for all those hours
Ugh
In other news - my mom is now free of her boot and dh has "graduated" from cardiac rehab. They even gave him a certificate. They said his stress test was better than normal.
Yea, good for him! Not a fan of stress tests in general.
Happy Thanksgivingto my Canadian homies!
For a scant 2nd I did a double take there lol. Hope you had a great holiday.
That’s what I’m doing now! Watching Ep 2 of World Beyond. I’m hoping it gets better lol. Have to get caught up with Fear too.
Definitely YA (Young Adult) territory. Casting choices are more an issue for me vs the slow script
This fall trip I did, have a “Schumi ending.”
Haha
Will watch it for awhile to see if it gains any guts to it.
Is that a common saying? Never heard it, ala to the toss it into the cornfield one; yet both are goodies!
We just demolished a rather large chicken between four of us.......diet has been going well all day......Tom just said we deserved a treat for being so good for 9 hours.............
Chicken is like zucchini, love the versatility of both of them.
We’re going to stay at Art of Animation. It will be our first time at that hotel.
Love it. Little Mermaid? Ask for an Ursula room, quickest non suite area. Don’t rely on Skyliner to get to MGM in the am for RoTR ‘lottery’
wow.......I feel quite behind with my Christmas shopping now......Lynne, mac and Robo all organised......I need to think about starting now
I mined Prime Days, nothing huge but lots of litttle stuffs caught my eye. Deliveries started to roll in, wound up giving the Mr all his goodies. Made his day, worth it lol.
Got one of those LED screw in garage lights, has fold down sections. They said it was very bright. Nearly went blind when it first went on lol
I‘m going to have to get on my Christmas shopping soon. Before my Universal trip late Nov. because when I return I have to quarantine for 2 weeks which will take me to Dec 23
Yuk.
Lots of shopping in the area. Not sure I’d want to deal with Prime Outlets on Black Friday weekend though. Supposed to be greatly abbreviated but bet it’ll still be a zoo. I’ve resigned myself to mostly online shopping this year.
Another something.... my TBD wife took me to
Disneyland last Christmas. It was my first time there. I never had a desire to go because I'm a WDW person. But, it was one of the best experiences of my life. I fell in love with it.
I never realized how much I missed the scary adventures and Mr. Toad's. They maintain those 2 parks so much better than here in Florida.
Without DL there would be no WDW. I prefer it also but can’t get there easily NS from my market. Last visit 8/19, figure it’ll be more than a few years until we get back out that way due to CV issues.
Mr Toad is one of my top dark ride favorites. Great allegorical theme.
Do believe since DL is more of a locals’ park, they tend to take more pride in it.
Doggie update, sorta. There were no masses found on ultrasound so that’s good. But vet won’t get full ultrasound report till Saturday.
Good news
