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

Always plenty of bacon left here Lynne...….think we might keep it for lunch today as I`m not overly hungry this morning....dinner sounded good....yes, sometimes you just want something like that, especially if it`s so hot……..yes, the launch was fabulous!!!!



mrose 49 is no age at all to pass. How sad. And worrying your cases are rising again.



I already quoted Keisha......I really need to wake up this morning!!!!






Started to post earlier, but the landline phone rang.....always a worry so early in the morning......but turned out to be a friend who`s been trying to get in touch with me but has lost her mobile phone....couldn't remember my mobile number off by heart so she called the home phone this morning. When phones ring late at night or very early in the morning....it`s never usually good news...….

And despite me thinking it`s Monday.......it is still Sunday...…..

Looks a lot duller today, but hoping it`ll get sunnier as the morning goes on......

Lazy morning for us...….Kyle was out till 4am with the telescope imaging. So he`ll appear late, maybe around 9.30 which is incredibly late for him to get up......we slept well, but were disturbed by what sounded like foxes having a bit of a disagreement with each other......I looked out but couldn't see anything. Then the Owls around became upset for some reason.....just one of those nights.

Least we don't need to worry about bears here!!!

Have no idea what`s for dinner tonight...….will see what we fancy later. Kyle has asked me to cut his hair again today, so I`m pleased he was happy enough with the job I did on it about 5 weeks ago. He has quite a lot of hair and like me it grows so quickly. So, that's my one job today.

Ah yes, a perfectly packaged weekend of sunny starts, low humidity and in the 70’s temps.

Pool yesterday afternoon was a bit cool, but was refreshing enough that it was enjoyable. Kids are stoked, my Dsis is so nice, that as this week, nature has decided a hot summer week is in order, so kids can come over whenever they want, and enjoy the pool.

Wash is done, only one kid is up. I slept well too, And yum, thanks for the bacon, Schumi. As the kid that is up, is older one, breakfast will be started now. Little one is not fond of most breakfast food, but we will save her the plain home fries, and the bacon. May be in the mood for pancakes too, so I will save a few for her.

Happy Sunday all, and hope all have a wonderful Sunday.

It’s nice you can use your sisters pool.....must be lovely in warmer weather.

Yep, bacon is always nice!!!



Watching the Dragon about to dock with the ISS.......

Amazing scenes to watch........should say, it’s in darkness right now but will be in daylight soon for the docking......

Yum, sounds like a diner’s menu! Was just going to have a raisin bagel with cream cheese. May just crack open a package of bacon now.

Mr picked Five Guys last night, i’d Have be happy with BK or McD’s if truth be told. Really need to fish out a package of chicken from the freezer or We’ll be back to more takeout this evening
Watching the Dragon about to dock with the ISS.......
Ugh i forgot, hope i can catch the feed somewhere online, maybe NASA tv channel. Know it’s somewhere in my DTV lineup. I rarely go past a certain point in the line up, can get lost in those higher channels :)
 


McK- ugh, that is nothing one wants to read. Would’ve thought it’d take a bit longer from Memorial Day to kick up the quota. Was thinking more along line of 2 or 3 weeks. Guess we wait to see
I know. That's my take on it, but I could be wrong. From what we've seen with people we know that have had it, it doesn't wait the full two weeks for incubation. It seems to hit people within the first week of exposure, which is why I'm thinking it's from the holiday weekend.
Did you see that someone from that huge Ozark's party last weekend has tested positive? There were hundreds of people there. :sad2:
Our city is under seige, appears to be well- organized anarchists from out of state according to FBI causing real trouble vs “garden variety” looters riding the coat-tails of the demonstrations earlier today. When they bring tire irons & monkey wrenches to a peaceful protest, you’ve got to wonder as to intent
Wow. I saw FB messages inviting people to a protest in a city near us and the last line of the message was what to bring "in case the police get violent". Ummm.... if you're protesting peacefully, there's no reason to expect violence unless you bring it yourself.
mrose 49 is no age at all to pass. How sad. And worrying your cases are rising again.
It is sad, he was a very friendly guy. I just know him from going into the store, but my father, my dd and her boyfriend know him from working with him in the past. They said that he had un-diagnosed diabetes which they found while he was hospitalized, and may have been the cause of him having issues from covid.

I think that while our cases are going down, the single case reported on Thursday/Friday was almost a fluke. We've been consistently going down in cases. Two weeks ago we had 29 new cases; the week before 15 (if I remember correctly?) and this week they posted 11. It's improving.

I have more good news on my dd's coworker who had it. She is fully recovered and has tested negative.... she's over it! She said she only had a few days of flu like symptoms, and then felt fine but she had to wait until she got a negative result. So far everyone who was exposed, including my dd, has tested negative. This makes two of my immediate family members who have been exposed to people with it and both were wearing masks, and have not caught it. As much of a pain that the masks are, they really do help!

And so far none of the residents and staff at the nursing home my other family member works at has tested positive after the one staffer was positive. I believe the masks make a huge difference.

Chilly today, but sunny. Dh and I are hoping to go to Sams this afternoon and then we're having our "social distancing" get-together outside with all the kids, significant others and my parents to celebrate dd's graduation and hubby's birthday. We may have to light a fire though, if it doesn't warm up!

What they are observing here via the large local hospital systems is that with those with a normal immune system, it often appears during the first week after exposure. A very mild version...akin to having a garden variety ‘bug’ that you’d just hunker down and wait it out for a few days before resuming normal activities. Problem is after that dissipates, then it often comes roaring back afterwards, much more severely when people think they are out of the woods.

Thank God re the nursing home situation. Do they have the (even healthy) residents isolated there by pod & encouraging them to keep to their rooms? That’s how most of them are doing it here. So far, so good in my Mom’s huge complex.

Have a wonderful time with your loved ones tonight! Sams has really been a help during these times for us lol. Was so happy to be able to find somewhere making celebratory cakes!
 
Grocery shopping soon. Apparently, after feeding older one, he declared need for more food. Fine. Did pick up a loaf of fresh bread for the soup last night. There was some left over, so older one had a sandwich of eggs, bacon, tomatoes, cheese and red pepper slices. Yep, diner food here, Keisha, LoL.
 


Good morning everyone. Today's excitement will be getting the spring/summer clothes out of storage and putting away the fall/winter clothes. I may even do some laundry.

I might have someone coming today to get my sofa. The elliptical is supposed to arrive on Wednesday.

Crazy times, but they need to put a lid on it & clear the streets sooner vs than later. Pittsburgh had curfew go into effect at 8 pm. The city’s PD typically do a great job de-escalating things; but with those bent on mayhem, who knows where the violence will stop. A shame, same story in so many other cities tonight
Thankfully our city just had a small, peaceful protest. I think things got a little out of hand in Roanoke though.

I forgot to mention, the yearling black bear cubs are getting kicked out of their dens...we have one prowling around in area the last few days. It’s funny, traffic stops absolutely dead on even the multi-lane highway when they decide to cross.
I would definitely stop for a bear. When we visited Alaska we were warned over an over again how to react if we encounter a bear. Bears always win.

Pool yesterday afternoon was a bit cool, but was refreshing enough that it was enjoyable. Kids are stoked, my Dsis is so nice, that as this week, nature has decided a hot summer week is in order, so kids can come over whenever they want, and enjoy the pool.
Not looking foward to the hot temps coming this week, but at least it will be good pool weather. Enjoy.

Not my favorite hamburger place either.

Great news on both accounts. I really hate the mask, but will keep wearing it if it helps. My new one should be here on Wednesday.
 
Keisha and charade
When five guys opened in my town, we were all over it and went frequently.

After they were in business for 3 months, they slacked off with serving hot food and dirty tables was common
Too many times burgers were dry and not hot
We ate there so no reason burgers should have an old taste

Last time we went there has to have been at least 6 months back. Parking lot is never more than a few cars

At the other end of this complex is Jersey Mikes
We are satisfied getting sandwiches there for lunch.
 
Hmm, don’t know if we have a Jersey Mike’s, but have seen Firehouse.

Little one is now up, and agreed to go grocery shopping with me. I think she purposely waits until leaving around 11, as that is when most stop breakfast. Thinking maybe Wawa, but maybe something else. Up to little one.
 
Keisha, we like Five Guys fries and milk shakes....burgers are just ok......hope you caught the docking......it was something special to see!!

And loved the cartoon!!!! Takes me right back.......


mrose.......diabetes isn’t such a bad one for this virus. It’s one of the reasons we are worried about a couple of friends who have it. But goodness what a tragedy. And good news about daughters co worker.

Enjoy your get together........



All this food talk......mac.....pizza sounds so good........mine last night was double chicken, pineapple and jalapeños on a bbq sauce base......my Italian relatives turn in shame when I tell them I have that base and all those toppings!!! But it’s so good.......


Lynne.......Firehouse Sub is really good if you’ve never tried it.....and Wawa have the best potato chips around! We only discovered them last year when one of the StrongWater crew told me to try them......barbecue flavour and the sour cream ones were divine!!!


Charade.....enjoy whichever you decide!




We are barbecuing again tonight........spicy bbq flavour pork steaks, assorted sausages and some spicy chicken skewers.......cous cous and potato salad too. Lush!

It is a little breezy, but it’ll be fine.....we’ll eat inside I think.

Been a quick Sunday........

That is frightening! I know some of DH's coworkers were sick for a long time, two were out a whole month. But I didn't hear if they felt better and then got worse again.
I'll mention it to dd to tell her coworker. Do you know if the people who initially felt better tested negative?

They did not accept patients with covid into the nursing home. I asked about that, since two other area nursing homes did take covid patients in. They've been on lockdown since the beginning of March and they stay in their rooms. I know that they can take their masks off while in their rooms, but they need them on when out of the rooms. Staff wears masks all the time.
Have a wonderful time with your loved ones tonight! Sams has really been a help during these times for us lol. Was so happy to be able to find somewhere making celebratory cakes!
I haven't been to Sam's in almost 3 months! Is it crazy to be somewhat excited? LOL!

Oh yuck! That sounds gross.

I'm thinking of maybe doing corelife take out today while we're up by Sams!
Great news on both accounts. I really hate the mask, but will keep wearing it if it helps. My new one should be here on Wednesday.
I hope the new one works out well!
my Italian relatives turn in shame when I tell them I have that base and all those toppings!!!
Not gonna lie, this Italian is shuddering a little.... :scared: LOL!
 
Happy Sunday,

Hope everyone is well. Work has been crazy busy. I worked yesterday to catch up since this week is going to be even busier since the candidate filing deadline is coming up on the 9th.

I did get our beach vacation booked forJuly. Not the house I wanted but we waited til the last minute to book so it was slim pickings. On the bright side, if restrictions relax at UOR, I may sneak in a short trip in Aug before school starts......if it does. I received an email last week from my son's school stating that kids can hold onto their Chromebooks through the summer. They were supposed to turn them in the week after next, which is the last week of the current school year. I maybe reading into this too much but seems like an ominous sign about schools starting back in the fall.

I did find out that the man that worked at my DS's school who passed from complications of COVID did have other health issues. He had been out of work for a couple of weeks at the beginning of the year with health problems. Still sad that he was taken so young.

DH went on charter fishing trip yesterday for seabass. Something he has wanted to do for a while. He caught his limit of 15. He was happy. He is making fish tacos tonight. I am happy😄


Virtual commencement was very nice! My little smarty graduated Magna Cum Laude and she was in two honor societies; English and Business. She also got the notice that she made Dean's List again this semester. I'm a proud mama tonight!

Congratulations to your little smarty!@What a great achievement!!

This is very unusual for us.......I don‘t think it’s as warm as that outside maybe into the high 80’s, but we are so sheltered here and surrounded by trees.......so we are cocooned a little.

Sounds like you are having our weather and us yours. Very rainy here. Although today is supposed to be dry but cool.

Yes, as of today we are required to wear masks in public places. I think the effort is too little, too late. Perhaps if the requirement had been made 2-3 months ago we wouldn't have such a rise in cases.

I agree. Timing is suspect for sure.

Filthy loaded, spinster that lived with her now deceased mom. Nursing home & her family has refused to let it be sold. Borough had to go to court to request tear down. It’s turning into critter condos. Slowly moving thru the system nearly five years later. Believe the overflow raccoons are crossing the street to our yard.
At least no kids or crackheads have discovered it

We didn't have the hoarder situation but my DH's family had a house on Cape Hatteras that was kind of off the beaten path and rarely used. One time we went for the weekend, arriving late at night. We went straight to bed when we got there but were soon awaken by our dog who was alerted to noises coming from the fireplace. The fireplace was never used and was blocked off from the interior of the house so we couldn't see what was in the fireplace but from the noises we heard we could tell a family of racoons had made their home in the fireplace. I went out on the deck and there was a racoon on the deck railing and one on the roof and one in the yard. They were everywhere. We immediately packed up and drove home in the middle of the night. I would have stayed but DH was afraid of rabies and whatever other diseases they carry. I was willing to tough it out to be able to go to the beach:) The next weekend my DH and FIL permanently blocked off the top of the chimney. No more raccoons.
 
We compromised. We went to Jersey Mike's first and picked up my cold sub. then went to Firehouse and got a hot sub for B. It worked out well since Firehouse is closer to our house then Jersey Mikes.

I want to take a nap now, but laundry calls.
