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

[macraven]

Woot for lynne for scoring for the vaccines!

Your trip to NY sounds like fun for you and daughter.

 

[schumigirl]

Popping in to say hello. Busy with this and that.... Hope everyone is well.

Excited to be checking into RPR is a week. Called and reserved T3. Hoping with the new CDC regs, masks will go bye bye soon, at least walking around the parks. Would love it if it happened next week. Now I need to get the summer clothes from the attic to pack. DS has outgrown everything and since clothes shopping has not been a priority or a pleasure over the last year, I had to order t-shirts and a pair of flip flops for him. Hopefully, everything will fit. I think DH and I are set although I may pick up some new flip flops and sneakers.

I finished listening to Magpie Murders. I enjoyed it and will probably read it's sequel. I did read that it is being adapted into a series so that should be interesting.

Warm weather this week. Hi 80s today through Friday. That will get me ready for the low 90's in Orlando next week. So looking forward to it.

Dinner will be marinated beef tenderloin. I have been really sticking to lowcarb the last 10 days. I want to lose 10lbs (pandemic pounds) before we go to FL. Halfway there......



I will have to check that one out. I have started Wallander with Kenneth Branagh (Gilderoy Lockhard). It is pretty good. Reminds me of Shetland a bit. Kind of dark and moody.



That is great. You will be ready to hit the parks when you get the all clear.

I got a bit lost in Wallander for a while, but we drifted away from it. I do like KB as an actor though.

Have you ever watched The Bridge? The one from Norway/Sweden with Sofia Helin? It was fabulous and despite the subtitles, we loved it. Quite dark but funny at times. The male actor Kim Bodnia was also in Killing Eve if you ever watched that, he is very good too.

How lovely your trip is just around the corner......and you`re having nice weather too......always good!

Food sounds delicious too.....low carb is hard at times, I can never do it!

I read the cdc report today of masks not necessary if people are fully vaccinated and you are outdoors.

no idea how the Orlando parks will go along with that.
I doubt they will ask to see your shot card to prove it

GA does not have a mask mandate but I still wear mine out of the house
If booster shots do become required, my time would not be due until September.

So lynne... you have had to go shopping when in Orlando for the kids.

I had to do that the first year I took my boys to Disney.
Good thing I had a car rental that year !

It will be interesting to see how the parks respond and when they`ll change their policy of masks everywhere anytime soon.

Forgive me, but I'm going to go off on a rant. Today I had 2 people (potential new clients) request appointments. These were done via email. The first asked for a late afternoon appointment. I offered her Wednesday at 4:30. (one of only 2 late afternoon appointments available with this therapist) She replies asking if she could have Thursday at 4:30 because her husband will be home to watch the children. The second one was looking for an appointment for her teenage daughter. Said she needed something after 10:30. I offered Tuesday at 11:30. No, that won't work. She needs something Monday, Wednesday, or Friday. Argh!
If you know that you have very limited availability it really helps if you mention that up front. Most clients will schedule the same day and time for weeks or even months out, so it's not like I can juggle the schedule and get a new person the day and time that want it it isn't already open. Okay, off my soapbox.

I just ask that if you have several items to hold that you put them all in one bag. Remember my last Busch Gardens trip?

I'm interested!

I don't think any of our fast food places have opened their dining rooms yet. I just wish my favorite Chinese restaurant would open theirs.

Some may try. I would hope they have a way of preventing that.

I don't think I have ever seen a shaggy deer like that.

Hope you get the results quickly.

I saw a T3 recommendation somewhere else today. What is special about T3? I can't remember which tower we stayed in when we were there.
I was so happy when B topped growing. Especially her feet. Dance shoes can get really expensive when you have to buy new ones every year and sometimes twice a year.
My guess is the mask rule will stay in place since there will be crowds of people.
When I was in GA everywhere we went most people were still wearing masks. I'm certain some people will continue to wear them in public even after all mask mandates have been lifted.


Hoping I can sleep tonight. Mom has her oncology appointment tomorrow and I am anxious to hear what the doctor has to say.

That is annoying. Yes, give your limitations at the beginning of a call then at least the person trying to help you can fit your needs...don`t change them as the call goes on.

We are usually in T3 and it is our favourite. For some people it`s closer to the boat dock and pool.....for us it makes no odds in distance as the way the hotel is designed you`re never that far away from anything. A few extra moments makes no difference. We like the 6th floor in T3. We do like the view from the rooms we have.

Best wishes for your mum and her appointment today.

Hoping some good news for your mom, Charade. Yeah, stinks when people don’t say up front the times they are available.

Well, at least availability has significantly increased in vaccine sites close to us. Both kids got their first shot today, right after lunch, as made appointments for them earlier in the day, at a place right down the street. This afternoon, booked mine for tomorrow morning, at same place, and cancelled my Friday one that was about 1/2 hour drive away. So far, both kids said they had headaches starting a few minutes after shot. But when I said you could take drugs when they got home, both said, will see if it goes away. Neither said head hurt by dinner time. And so far, that is only side effect they have commented on. No sore arm, and can’t even see where needle went in on both. So I am hoping no side effects or minor one like the kids got.

And yay, since both little one and I will be fully vaccinated more than 3 weeks before our planned NYC trip, our June NYC trip is a go. And yes, we will still be wearing masks, and trying to stay outdoors most of the time. I felt safe enough staying at the Dark Side hotels last Fall, so I am comfortable with the NYC hotel, and it’s the same one we have stayed at twice before. Train tickets and hotel both bought months ago, and glad I did, as more expensive for both now, and when booked both, train fare and hotel reservation were both fully refundable until day before use. Local train used to connect, we can buy those tickets the day before we leave. No reason to buy them in advance. Just have to see what the local train schedules are, so as to get us into station in time to connect to train into NYC. Will be nice to be back. We enjoy our time there.

And so, close to my bedtime, as still will be up early as will work until lunchtime. Then taking the afternoon off, as not sure how I will feel after the close to lunchtime vaccine time.

Good Night homies. Let those night owl homies entertain.

Good luck on the vaccine today Lynne and hope you don`t get any symptoms. I only really had a an incredible fatigue for a day or so around 20 hours after the jab went in.

And glad you have your NYC trip planned.....that`ll be fun.




Wednesday and another lovely sunny but cooler day ahead. Around 50F. That`ll be ok for walking this morning.

Almost finished The Book Thief.....that`s been a haul, but almost done, looking forward to the next one now. The movie chosen by one of the book group for May is Citizen Kane. Never watched it, never planned to watch it......now......I have to......why couldn`t she have picked Ghostbusters!!!

Doing stir fry for dinner tonight....mine will be spicy. Chicken, red chillies, fresh ginger, and pineapple with plum and teriyaki mixed.....lush. They all want chicken with good old teriyaki

No idea for breakfast or lunch yet. But, last Wednesday of the month.....can`t quite believe how quick April has flown past.......

Have a wonderful Wednesday ​

 

[schumigirl]

And today our lovely macraven is celebrating a special day as it`s her wedding anniversary...

Hope you and mr mac have a wonderful day ahead...​

 

[Realfoodfans]

Hope you get your results quickly Pumpkin and you feel better soon. Here we can just get rapid tests free from the chemist or online.

Charade I will be thinking of you today. Hope you get more information. I get lots of amusing patient stories from DIL since she was furloughed from Virgin and now works for our large medical centre.

Cam good luck with clothes shopping online. Couple of firms I risk with no quibble free returns for the GC. Currently watching prices on wetsuits for the holidays as of course last years much too small. Neither at an age to bother about “labels” but I always get one high end outfit for them both.

Schumi - not bison for me either. Kev loves different meats like Tom and has tried many that I could not contemplate - kangaroo - er no!

Lynne that is great news on the family’s vaccinations. Em had a call yesterday - her second shot has been brought forward to next week. Ours are the week after.

Happy Anniversary to Mac and MrMac - hope you have a peaceful day.

Our nephew FaceTimed last night - baby is absolutely gorgeous but still in the hospital as not feeding sufficiently and they are disappointed as having to supplement feeds. I said the same happens a lot with early babies not quite ready to face the world - but I remember being tearful myself all those years ago when I had to give Em bottles. Didn’t stress about it with DS.



We have a grocery order to collect this morning - from the next town in another county. Large one - seem to be running low on a lot of things.

 

[Lynne G]

Yay! A hump day is this Wednesday, and a taste of a summer day for us. Yay to see above 80 degrees this afternoon.

A very bright start at the sunrise. Clear sky that once again will see the clouds try to make it more cloudy day. Yeah, and that cloudy day yesterday was mostly sunny. Hoping that happens today too.

And so, with shorts and a tee shirt, with flip flops, ready for this warmer weather day. And yep, with this early screen viewing day, tea has been sipping, as was thirsty. House does feel warm, but hot tea is still as enjoyable as always.

With that, a very happy wedding anniversary to Mac and Mr. Mac.

And aww, such a cute baby, Julie. Yeah, first child all is new. And yep, does not matter how baby is fed. Bottle or mom, or both, all are okay to get all that baby fed. My kids were mostly bottle fed, as I couldn’t produce very much milk. Plus, at least with a bottle, others can fed the baby.

Off to find some breakfast. Have a great morning and a wonderful Wednesday.

Yay, Friday will be here is two days. Homies, have some mid week fun!

 

[macraven]

Rf , all babies are so cute !!

and beautiful!

lots of hair on the little one

Mine only had peach fuzz on their heads ....lol

 

[keishashadow]

Mac...Do it up, right

 

[Charade67]

Just as I suspected I had difficulty getting to sleep last night. Once I finally got to sleep I dreamed that someone was trying to suffocate me with a pillow. I woke up quickly and had trouble getting back to sleep after that.

Well, at least availability has significantly increased in vaccine sites close to us. Both kids got their first shot today, right after lunch, as made appointments for them earlier in the day, at a place right down the street. This afternoon, booked mine for tomorrow morning, at same place, and cancelled my Friday one that was about 1/2 hour drive away. So far, both kids said they had headaches starting a few minutes after shot. But when I said you could take drugs when they got home, both said, will see if it goes away. Neither said head hurt by dinner time. And so far, that is only side effect they have commented on. No sore arm, and can’t even see where needle went in on both. So I am hoping no side effects or minor one like the kids got.

Congrats on getting the vaccine scheduled. Hoping for mild side effects if any.

We are usually in T3 and it is our favourite. For some people it`s closer to the boat dock and pool.....for us it makes no odds in distance as the way the hotel is designed you`re never that far away from anything. A few extra moments makes no difference. We like the 6th floor in T3. We do like the view from the rooms we have.

I’m not certain, but I think we were in T2. Didn’t have a great view, but B loved that we could hear the growl from the Hulk coaster.

Charade I will be thinking of you today. Hope you get more information. I get lots of amusing patient stories from DIL since she was furloughed from Virgin and now works for our large medical centre.

Usually it is pretty quiet here, but we occasionally get the odd client. I think my favorite one was the one who called me while drunk. The conversation we had was amusing, but I felt really bad for her. She eventually stopped seeing her therapist here. I just hope she got the help she needed somewhere else.

Our nephew FaceTimed last night - baby is absolutely gorgeous but still in the hospital as not feeding sufficiently and they are disappointed as having to supplement feeds. I said the same happens a lot with early babies not quite ready to face the world - but I remember being tearful myself all those years ago when I had to give Em bottles. Didn’t stress about it with DS.

Aw...beautiful baby picture.
I was not able to breastfeed B. My milk never came in. I cried a lot about it then distanced myself from the moms I knew that acted like you were abusing your child if you bottle fed. I was much happier after that.

lots of hair on the little one

Mine only had peach fuzz on their heads ....lo

B was practically bald when she was born. Hard to believe it when you see her hair now.

Happy anniversary Mac!

 

[keishashadow]

Early am dentist appt again today. Swelling subsided around the one molar, able to toss some more resin on it. Not root canaled, was quite sensitive for a bit there.

Two options on the table there for rather extensive treatment. Today, he decided we need to investigate a 3rd. referred to a prosthodontist ? today. Whatever they do, but told a long waiting List at the comprehensive dental clinic in the city that has all the various specialists under one roof. One stop shopping a good thing, I guess

Loki! I can’t wait to see what they are doing with him.

Ooooooh, i knew that duh. So excited love Loki more than Thor, if that is humanely possible

We are trying Bison filet tonight.

I just can’t. Want to, it’s the whole they used to be endangered thing that’s stopping me. That & most I know who do eat it, especially when in a burger, tend to moan it can be so dry.

Went for my covid test. No rapid tests here. They only use those for people traveling into the country and currently in our school system.

The PCR is said to be so much more accurate. Still has to be frustrating to wait.

Excited to be checking into RPR is a week. Called and reserved T3

Woohoo! We will be stopping by on the 6th at HRH for just a few days after CCV/WDW.

It’s a lovely tower, seems a bit closer to the boat dock. We’ve had some lovely standard rooms in tower 1 too. A few with views of the park on upper floors. Well, unless the trees have overgrown. I’m fond of one with a couple of giant palm trees facing the front of the resort. Enjoyed watching them wildly sway when there during hurricane few years ago lol

Or forget their bathing suit, good thing there was an Amazon locker near the Dark

When we take spirit down to myrtle beach & i want to pack light, often have supplies either in amazon locker or for pickup at WM. Have had them deliver to resorts, usually when longer trip and too lazy to haul the cases of water/soda, etc.

no idea how the Orlando parks will go along with that.
I doubt they will ask to see your shot card to prove it

No change at all right now as I understand it. The parks won’t do a two-class system as it wouldn’t be fair to their workers to have to police people as to the haves & the have nots as to vaccine cards.

Okay, off my soapbox.

What, no rabbit pulled out of your hat? Lol

I saw a T3 recommendation somewhere else today. What is special about T3? I can't remember which tower we stayed in when we were there.

Just avoid #2 woof, woof & long haul past Jakes (where people dine alfresco) in dripping bathing suits

Both kids got their first shot today, right after lunch, as made appointments for them earlier in the day, at a place right down the street. This afternoon, booked mine for tomorrow morning, at same place, and cancelled my Friday one that was about 1/2 hour drive away.

Hooray

but I remember being tearful myself all those years ago when I had to give Em bottles. Didn’t stress about it with DS.

#1 no go, had to return to work quickly. The world was different place, no pumping accommodations in place.

#2 & #3, lasted till they got teeth. Enough said

Once I finally got to sleep I dreamed that someone was trying to suffocate me with a pillow.

Long as the pillow was still intact when u woke up, will call that a win. I’ve heard tales of people chomping on their pillows in their dreams lol

Aw...beautiful any picture.
I was not able to breastfeed B. My milk never came in. I cried a lot about it then distanced myself from the moms I knew that acted like you were abusing your child if you bottle fed. I was much happier after that.

Seriously, where is the concept of sisterhood in that? Bullying by any other name...wrong, wrong, wrong. Many of the same gals tend to be anti childhood vaccine & very quick to cry foul when subject matter is reversed.

How about we women support each other & MYOB unless observing cases of abuse etc?

Off my soapbox now

 

[Lynne G]

Ooh Keisha, hope dentist visits better the next time.

Got my Pfizer first shot and now waiting for another 8 minutes or so. Alarm set for 15 minutes that goes off when you are done. Doctor that did shot I think could be my kid. She was so young, but very nice, as I hate shots. Was easy, and about less than a 5 minute drive. Little one with me, as done classes and oddly has finals on Friday, then the others next Thursday and Friday. So lot of time to study, I guess. Quite the night owl I’d say she will be. Gave her my purse, as just playing on phone, so wonder if I see a charge on my credit card. Starbucks is not far from here, so think I may see her with a coffee, iced, as already 82 degrees out, and need sunglasses. Hot feeling, so will tie my hair up too. Hate sweaty hair on neck.


Hope all are doing well, with Mac hopefully getting another night of no cooking for her anniversary.

Off my soapbox now

I like your soapbox Janet......right there with you.

My son was bottle fed and I’m proud of that....anyone tried to make me feel less than the booby brigade, I swiftly put them in their place.....and left them in no doubt I wasn’t going to be demeaned, and there were people like that.....one said she’d be completely devastated if she couldn’t breast feed. I am positive he turned out very healthy and extremely intelligent, we were and are as close as can be so I have no regrets about bottle feeding him.

Good luck with the dental choices........and Kyle laughed at the Slender Man comment.......lol.......

Yes, farmed bison is popular here......not for me. We have some buffalo farms in our county, he fancies a jaunt out to get some stuff they produce and apparently the farm store stocks all kind of ethnic goodies too which will be nice.......



realfood......beautiful baby and hope he gets out of hospital soon........I loved kangaroo kebabs when we had them.



Almost time to go start dinner.......I am starving!!

Yikes. None of that sounds good.

Ooooooh, i knew that duh. So excited love Loki more than Thor, if that is humanely possible

I’m not sure that’s possible. I just hope they get Thor back to normal for the next movie. I bought this shirt to wear to Disney.

Just avoid #2 woof, woof & long haul past Jakes (where people dine alfresco) in dripping bathing suits

I must have been in Tower 1. I remember requesting that I not be put in the dog friendly tower.

Seriously, where is the concept of sisterhood in that? Bullying by any other name...wrong, wrong, wrong. Many of the same gals tend to be anti childhood vaccine & very quick to cry foul when subject matter is reversed.

Some women just get crazy about it. I really wanted to breastfeed, but it just want happening.

Got my Pfizer first shot and now waiting for another 8 minutes or so.

Yay! Halfway there.

I’m at work, but have nothing to do. Thankfully I only have an hour left.

 

[macraven]

Keisha
Sending you Mummy Dust for the dental procedures you need done!

I shudder just thinking about what you have to go through
I don’t handle dental work very well.

 

[cam757]

Happy Anniversary to Mr. & Mrs. Mac!!

Sunny and hot day in may corner of the world. Wanted to run out at lunch to the dreaded Walmart but no one to cover phones so maybe tomorrow. Not much else going on. I need to try to get in vacation prep mode...as much as I have been looking forward to it, I am an terrible procrastinator when it comes to packing.

I need to get my veggie garden planted before we leave. I will try to do that Friday or Sunday. I have a bazaar fundraiser to help with Saturday to benefit the Children's Hospital. It is outdoors so hopefully the weather will be nice. I am looking forward to walking around and checking out all the vendor's products.

Yay for Cam traveling in a week! Woot! And yeah, kids grow fast. Or forget their bathing suit, good thing there was an Amazon locker near the Dark Side, as well as having mixed shoes in the early flight realization, good thing a Nike outlet near the parks too. Hope you enjoy the extended Mardi Gras decor and food.

Thanks!! Yes, they do. I used to be a terrible overpacker and just empty our dresser drawers and closet into the bags. I am getting better though. Now I just overpack my son and usually not enough for myself.

It is bad when my DH says we need to buy DS shirts because nothing fits. The funny thing is now DS can wear most mens large t-shrits, which is DH's size so now they can share...LOL.

The outlets are definitely on list of places to stop. Hoping to pick up a few things for myself as well

Sadly, we will miss out on Mardi Gras. I believe it is coming to an end on May 2nd. I wish they would have extended it a little longer, I would have love to see the decorations and parade.

I saw a T3 recommendation somewhere else today. What is special about T3? I can't remember which tower we stayed in when we were there.
I was so happy when B topped growing. Especially her feet. Dance shoes can get really expensive when you have to buy new ones every year and sometimes twice a year.

I like T3 because it is close to the boat dock. Actually, it is just a preference because that is where we have always stayed. One time they put us in T2. There were great views of the Hulk in that tower though.

I know what you mean about shoes. DS is 14 and is pushing out of his 10.5s so we may pick up a new pair at the outlets.

Hoping I can sleep tonight. Mom has her oncology appointment tomorrow and I am anxious to hear what the doctor has to say.

Hope the doctor has good news for her.

Have you ever watched The Bridge? The one from Norway/Sweden with Sofia Helin? It was fabulous and despite the subtitles, we loved it. Quite dark but funny at times. The male actor Kim Bodnia was also in Killing Eve if you ever watched that, he is very good too.

No, I don't think so. I will check that one out as well.

Cam good luck with clothes shopping online. Couple of firms I risk with no quibble free returns for the GC. Currently watching prices on wetsuits for the holidays as of course last years much too small. Neither at an age to bother about “labels” but I always get one high end outfit for them both.

The clothes/shoes I ordered were from Macys. I know I will have to return the flip flops I ordered because the first pair I ordered was the wrong size but I can just return those to the store. I did notice that some stores here have started opening one dressing room up to try on items. That will make it much easier to shop now. Thankfully, DS is not picky about labels either. Makes it easier on the pocketbook.

Adorable baby pic!!

Woohoo! We will be stopping by on the 6th at HRH for just a few days after CCV/WDW.

It’s a lovely tower, seems a bit closer to the boat dock. We’ve had some lovely standard rooms in tower 1 too. A few with views of the park on upper floors. Well, unless the trees have overgrown. I’m fond of one with a couple of giant palm trees facing the front of the resort. Enjoyed watching them wildly sway when there during hurricane few years ago lol

I will be with the tall blonde haired guy and a teenage boy, so gives us a wave if you see us around.


We have never stayed in T1. We are staying in T3 standard (nothing else left when I booked). The views on that side are not the most scenic though. I probably should have used this opportunity to try another tower since we are going to be in standard. I won't be devastated if they can't honor my T3 request. I like the high floors as well...as long as the palms are not blocking the view. We had that happen one trip when we were on the 4th or 5th floor.

My son was bottle fed and I’m proud of that....anyone tried to make me feel less than the booby brigade, I swiftly put them in their place.....and left them in no doubt I wasn’t going to be demeaned, and there were people like that.....one said she’d be completely devastated if she couldn’t breast feed. I am positive he turned out very healthy and extremely intelligent, we were and are as close as can be so I have no regrets about bottle feeding him.

Same here. No guilty conscience for me.

 

[schumigirl]

Lynne glad you got your jab out of the way.....hope for no nasty side effects.....


Charade......another nice top for the parks.....and hope your mum got some good news and information today.


mac......I agree....dental work is horrible. I have a lovely dentist who we travel quite a distance to see as I can`t face changing since we last moved......he is in his late 50`s now and is bound to retire soon.....I`m dreading it when he does.



cam.....vacation mode is always fun!!! And a veggie garden is lovely....and Saturday sounds like a lovely afternoon. What a lovely sounding fundraiser for a very good charity. Hope it does well.

Yes, a high floor is always a good request as the trees do hamper some views and it`s a shame. We do like T3 but T1 has some decent views too.

Yes, I never understood the folks that claim superiority because of breast feeding.....pah....ignored the few comments I did hear.






Afternoon turned out lovely, just too cool for me, but the UK is experiencing a cold spell all over but, we are promised some nicer weather coming up....will believe it when I see it.......

Dinner was lovely again, and finally finished the Book Thief. Not a favourite of mine and thought the movie was dreadful. Won`t read/watch either again.

Made some strawberry lemonade today so having one of those with lots of frozen fruit tonight......trying not to eat the baking I made today too, handing some into the farm tomorrow, we like to reciprocate as they leave us so many fresh eggs.

But, I may have a slice of coconut lime drizzle cake.....cannot resist that one.

 

[Pumpkin1172]

Making a quick stop in!

No test results yet...but I didn't expect anything yet today. Still feeling pretty cr!%&y. Seeing the lawn covered in snow again doesn't help either I guess Mother nature is experiencing some menopausal periods again.

Excited to be checking into RPR is a week. Called and reserved T3. Hoping with the new CDC regs, masks will go bye bye soon, at least walking around the parks. Would love it if it happened next week. Now I need to get the summer clothes from the attic to pack. DS has outgrown everything and since clothes shopping has not been a priority or a pleasure over the last year, I had to order t-shirts and a pair of flip flops for him. Hopefully, everything will fit. I think DH and I are set although I may pick up some new flip flops and sneakers.

It's always great to have a get away!!! Enjoy the planning. That is half the fun!!!!

Forgive me, but I'm going to go off on a rant. Today I had 2 people (potential new clients) request appointments. These were done via email. The first asked for a late afternoon appointment. I offered her Wednesday at 4:30. (one of only 2 late afternoon appointments available with this therapist) She replies asking if she could have Thursday at 4:30 because her husband will be home to watch the children. The second one was looking for an appointment for her teenage daughter. Said she needed something after 10:30. I offered Tuesday at 11:30. No, that won't work. She needs something Monday, Wednesday, or Friday. Argh!
If you know that you have very limited availability it really helps if you mention that up front. Most clients will schedule the same day and time for weeks or even months out, so it's not like I can juggle the schedule and get a new person the day and time that want it it isn't already open. Okay, off my soapbox.

Some clients are REALLY really special. There are always " those" special people who make us want to gouge our eyes out. I hope you get some good news about your mom.

And yay, since both little one and I will be fully vaccinated more than 3 weeks before our planned NYC trip, our June NYC trip is a go. And yes, we will still be wearing masks, and trying to stay outdoors most of the time. I felt safe enough staying at the Dark Side hotels last Fall, so I am comfortable with the NYC hotel, and it’s the same one we have stayed at twice before. Train tickets and hotel both bought months ago, and glad I did, as more expensive for both now, and when booked both, train fare and hotel reservation were both fully refundable until day before use. Local train used to connect, we can buy those tickets the day before we leave. No reason to buy them in advance. Just have to see what the local train schedules are, so as to get us into station in time to connect to train into NYC. Will be nice to be back. We enjoy our time there.

That is awesome!!! You will be able to enjoy your trip just a little better now.

Our nephew FaceTimed last night - baby is absolutely gorgeous but still in the hospital as not feeding sufficiently and they are disappointed as having to supplement feeds. I said the same happens a lot with early babies not quite ready to face the world - but I remember being tearful myself all those years ago when I had to give Em bottles. Didn’t stress about it with DS

And so, with shorts and a tee shirt, with flip flops, ready for this warmer weather day. And yep, with this early screen viewing day, tea has been sipping, as was thirsty. House does feel warm, but hot tea is still as enjoyable as always. A fed baby is best. Someone tried to shame me over having 3 c-sections with my kids. When I politely told her that if I didn't get my emergency c-section for dd, that we both would have died, and She should ask my husband if he would prefer to have his wife and daughter alive or dead. She shut her mouth very fast. I'm over it. I will blast a person when they try to shame someone on any level now. Maybe it's an age thing. I could care less anymore about being polite about it...because if they were polite about anything, they wouldn't be shaming someone else.

Early am dentist appt again today. Swelling subsided around the one molar, able to toss some more resin on it. Not root canaled, was quite sensitive for a bit there.

Good luck with that. Even thinking about the dentist, has my anxiety on full blast.

Well, I should hit the shower. I gotta get the last of our papers in order for dh to take our tax stuff to his sister to do. It pays to have CA's in the family. I should be getting a nice healthy return this year.
Have a great afternoon homies

My mother is going to drive me insane! She told me that the oncologist said that there would be no further treatments. I asked if that was because she was confident that it was all removed during surgery. Mom said she didn't know. Well, what exactly did the doctor say? Mom says that she told her so much stuff that she can't remember all of it. I feel like I need to drive to her doctor's office in SC, get a HIPAA consent form, take it to Mom and make her sign it, and take it back to her doctor's office. I don't understand how she can ve content with knowing so little about her health care.

I need to try to get in vacation prep mode...as much as I have been looking forward to it, I am an terrible procrastinator when it comes to packing.

I usually don't start packing until a day or two before the trip. Dh and I have been ordering shirts to wear at Disney. We really need to stop. The next couple of weeks are going to look like Christmas delivery at our house,

I know I will have to return the flip flops I ordered because the first pair I ordered was the wrong size but I can just return those to the store.

I once had to return some flip flops because they weren't quite what I expected.

Yes, I never understood the folks that claim superiority because of breast feeding.....pah....ignored the few comments I did hear.

I once met a woman who bragged that her child had never had an ear infection and claimed it was because she breastfed. She shut up when I told her that B had never had one either and she was bottle fed.

But, I may have a slice of coconut lime drizzle cake.....cannot resist that one.

That sounds really good.

No test results yet...but I didn't expect anything yet today. Still feeling pretty cr!%&y. Seeing the lawn covered in snow again doesn't help either I guess Mother nature is experiencing some menopausal periods again.

Sorry you are still feeling bad. Hope you improve soon.

I am tryin my best to not fall asleep before bedtime. I exercised when I got home from work, and now I am even more sleepy.

Like the shirt, Charade. Yeah, we started having one of us kids with my mom to hear what doctor had to say. My mom never got it all right either. I think they half listen, as feeling good or won’t say not feeling well. Hugs, as hard when you are not with her easily.

Well, still no side effects, thank goodness, though doctor said take hot shower when you get up, to get moving for the day, and don’t feel lethargic. I always take a quick bath or shower every day, as part of my morning routine, so that advice will be taken tomorrow morning no problem.

Cam, oh well, still have fun at the parks. Yeah, the prices go way up when kids start to wear adult clothes and shoes. Good thing my foot is smaller than little one’s, so I got some hand me down shoes when she outgrew them. Her foot size is about the same as my sister’s, so my sister always tries to steal little one’s shoes. Older one also has a larger feet size than DH, so even DH got hand me down shoes and a few shirts older one outgrew.
We had a nice time out after I got the shot and waited 15 minutes after. And yes, she did go get Starbucks coffee while I waited. Ended up with some good smelling bath stuff, as 1/2 off, and little one found some sports bras she liked and fit well. Came home, men were starving, so made some cheesesteaks, and fried some onions for the men. Then tossed some onion rings in the air fryer. Nice and crisp, and were delicious. Some potato chips, and dinner served. Did not feel like making much, as way too hot out, and did pick up the rolls and chipped beef on our way home. Already had cheese and onion rings in refrigerator/freezer, and a bag of chips no one had gotten into yet.

And so, get thirsty, a Thursday will be here before ya know it. Woot to being the last week in April, with a hello May to end the week. Do the rhyme, 30 days has September, April, June, and November. all the rest have 31, except that short month February, 28 or every 4 years, then 29. Yay not Friday the 13th, but Friday the 30th?

So a happy Wednesday evening to all the homies.

Did feel like a Friday to me. Oh well, as middle of week, will be a Friday after I wake up tomorrow. A stormy and 77 degree high Thursday for us. Guess the land wants some watering from the weather. Or a low weather system is going to crash into this high weather system, hence the storms, and based on Friday and Saturday having high temps not even as high as 70, guess which system wins? But a happy me, 5 day forecast sees 80’s in the high temps Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. Woot! Woot! Woot! And yes, AC was turned on. We are not used to this heat, pants were on the other day. But yay to shorts and flip flops. Though sneakers will be my footwear on our trip. Way too much walking for my otherwise very comfy flip flops.
