Ah, my dear friend, happiest of birthdays. And take it as compliment I wouldn’t have guessed. You are so full of life.Yep, I figured even though I just had a burger delivered and had my 60th birthday here, alone, last month, it will be one I will NEVER forget! Ya gotta make the best of things, right?
And now I blew everybody's minds who were convinced I was no older than 25, right?
@disneyland_is_magic - What a sweet thing to say, thank you! You just made m,y week, my friend!Ah, my dear friend, happiest of birthdays. And take it as compliment I wouldn’t have guessed. You are so full of life.
Next year my friend, both you and Disney can celebrate birthdays with more fanfare hopefully.
There is nothing that could tempt me to travel right now. Not the $11 fares on Frontier. Not free rooms at the casinos.Anyone seen any interesting travel deals yet? Any that tempt you?
I was checking my mail and had an offer for the casinos just over the state border. I haven’t gotten mail offers from their player’s club in YEARS. I never thought they be doing $29 rooms again. I am sure for loyal customers it’s common but not to very light players like me.
Not tempted, but surprised.
Oh yeah, I agree. But it was something I never thought I see again. Just marveling at what an odd world this is mostly.There is nothing that could tempt me to travel right now. Not the $11 fares on Frontier. Not free rooms at the casinos.
Why would I travel anywhere? You can't go in a restaurant. Most attractions, museums, theaters, etc. are all still closed, and if they are open, I wouldn't set foot in one anyway. No way am I entering a casino. Why spend money to leave home to do nothing but sit in a hotel room when I get there and order takeout for every meal? That doesn't sound like a good time at all.
Early on, like March and April and maybe into May (it's all a blur at this point), things were very stressful, unlike anything I've experienced in my 30 years as a doctor. We knew so little about the disease and new info was coming out daily. Our policies and procedures were changing constantly. It was a mess. Personally, it took its toll and I was anxious and having work dreams pretty much every night.How are you managing @disneysteve? I know you were in the thick of COVID. How are things with work if you don’t mind my asking?
I know your reality is much different from me, who has free time to ponder over strange marketing practices.
My knees have been giving me trouble the past 2 weeks with the weather and stuff plus it does not help that our dog keep on backing into them and doing naps on the loveseat with her lately hurts my right knee. The past couple days of thunderstorms makes her nervous. We spoil the dog too much and it is so hard to resist those sad eyes.This has been a trying summer, in so many ways, to say the least. I don't usually like the summer - I can do heat if I have to, but the humidity KILLS me. It's not only I don't LIKE it, it affects my body (especially more and more as I get older), and I'm not only clammy and uncomfortable, but in pain from swollen tissues/joints/whatever.
But I have been TRYING to find POSITIVE things to remind me to pump the brakes, and be grateful for what I DO have, not be dragged down by sadness or the "poor me" of what I DON'T.
One of the few things I've always LIKED about summer is the fruits. Some summers they're just "OK", and some summers they're terrible - mealy watermelon, peaches, and plums, and tasteless cherries. Those are my fave fruits.
This summer has been FANTASTIC for fruit. Have had juicy, sweet, delicious peaches 4 different times now (so pretty sure it's a good year, not just a "one and done" experience), juicy and sweet watermelon many times, and just had some wonderful, sweet cherries and plums delivered. SO enjoying them all!
Just sharing the "encouraging myself to look for the GOOD things!" in a time when I SO need it. Hope I share at least a bit of a smile with you all.

I peak in, then usually leave. I house sat for my parents. My mom had a fantastic time getting away for the weekend with my dad. I can't believe both my parents are in their 70s now. It just make me realize how much time is slipping away. My kids had a fantastic time with their cousin. It has been hard not getting to see friends. We ordered Pizza Hut for dinner. I don't think I have had Pizza Hut in 10 years. It brought back memories of high school. LOL
Just taking a peek to see if anything new....and trying to behave. I was avoiding some threads that irritate me too much and .there were times that I wanted to tell off a couple posters. I did not want feed into the negative stuff when trying to focus on positive stuff this past week and now new month. Crossing fingers on some stuff coming up....
We had to go to the grocery store to pick up an emergency supply of medicine for dh before the storm (doctor forgot to order refill) . It was hard to have people keep social distance and a lot of people seem to be bad drivers too...too manty close calls including someone entering the wrong way (that driver ignored the red wrong way sign). I found out later on...its the full moon...
NC Beast has 1 more appointment (knock on wood) with his retina specialist in 3 weeks.. We are trying to get back into some exercise routines since who knows when we get to have gym time again and the pool is supposed to be only during the week (some groups have been using it this weekend...not cool).
I have been watching the NASA youtube this week.
There's a wonderful little feature on the boards. If you click on someone's user ID, there is an option to IGNORE their posts. I don't use it often but I did just use it over the weekend as there is someone who continually posts some ignorant racist stuff that I was tired of seeing. I don't have the need to read that garbage.I was avoiding some threads that irritate me too much and .there were times that I wanted to tell off a couple posters.
I think quarantine has gotten to be. I just purchased a set of 3 Caballeros key chains from Tokyo Disneyland. They will be stocking stuffers for the kids. The price makes me But knowing how excited the kids will be calms me down.
Someone's "like" drew my attention to this post again. I have to say my thoughts on this have recently changed.Why spend money to leave home to do nothing but sit in a hotel room when I get there and order takeout for every meal? That doesn't sound like a good time at all.
Thanks, Heidi!@disneysteve - Hope it'as happy, healthy, and the year ahead is filled with magic, , and lot of all things Disney, of course!
