Reader sounds like you love your power washer and with a longer hose you could now do things in the back yard. so times when you don’t plan weekends you have more fun. so enjoy your garden.

Yep, that’s it in a nutshell.

Fae take care of yourself. This day will be long and. Please know we all care about you. Stay safe  

Day is starting w. 1/2 mile visibility here, and 1/4 mile visibility where I'm going -- normally about 80 minutes away.  Going to be a fun drive. ☁️

Edit:  gained enough weight working from home my suit slacks don't fit.

Thanks everyone for your kind words. I'm starting to feel a bit better. Hubby has had his test, now we wait for the results.

Hope everyone is well, have a good weekend.

I absolutely have no ambition or motivation to do anything today. Cleaning got done yesterday. I met my friend this morning and we got our toes done (eyebrows too..they were a hot mess). I got my mom, came home and turned on a movie and promptly fell asleep. Barely managed to throw some burgers on the grill and open some chips. Now I'm back on my chair and will probably fall asleep again. It must be the rain. 

Hope everyone has a good evening!

@kbois

naps = self care

when your body shuts down that hard, it's a sign that you needed it.

long long day

drive up wasn't as bad as it could have been - the fog started lifting about halfway there; no family drama over SP sitting next too me [heck, the funeral dir. had it figured out in about 5 minutes the first day we met him]

took a nap once we got home; had a full-blown panic attack during the middle of trying to make supper because my brain is apparently so fried it can't keep track of what should have been a relatively easy recipe to make

I'm sorry you had such a bad day Fae. I get it. It's hard saying goodbye to someone you live. Take your time. Process things on your timeline, no one else's. Take care and I hope things get better for you soon.

Hey All, Sorry I've not been around alot lately. Alot going on, things not to good at the moment.

I'm on antibiotics for an infection (only found out through my regular checkup).

Despite him not being anywhere since March, husband has a cold was due to have blood tests instead he has to have a covid test ( getting done tomorrow). Then just between 2-5 days for the result.

Hope everyone else is keeping well. I'll be around, just not very chatty at the moment.

Love to all x

Me not around a lot lately either.  But I do think of you guys often. 

I had some sh*tty mood because of the orange sky in California lately.  And then some bad stuff happened to my *ss, which made me wonder if I didn't use it, why it's broken anyways (yes, I need a BF to work it... LOL). 

Today I went out to Dollar Store and found out, how come there was some cool air circulation near my behind.  Then I remembered that pair of jeans I wore had a hole in a rather provocative place....  I haven't been very choosy with my apparel lately.  I should've paid more attention (I was too happy to learn I could fit into those pair of jeans again, I forgot they had a hole in them)....

I hope your hubby is just having a regular cold.  Stay healthy and safe!

Thanks @Reader1810, @spyke and @kbois

Much appreciated.  It's just a quiet day. tim worked and has made a wonderful roast dinner which is cooking now. Plus a nice sugar free pumpkin cake for me. I went to see my parents earlier. They are both doing well.  So, a quiet and pleasant day. 

I hope you are all well. 

@MichaelS36Happy belated birthday!  Ooh, pumpkin cake.  How nice of Tim!

have a good day everyone

went to the shrink today.  i've been struggling with a few things lately ... but my shrink is a good man with a good sense of humour (tim, you are the reason i need to dye my hair). But he also said when we first met, "When I can be, I'll be sympathetic, however, when you are face down in the mud, me laying down beside you is not going to help you get up."

So, i told the thing that happened with someone i loved very much (a friend) and he said:

he said he was sorry to hear about what this friend did. He said, i cant fix it, and you cant, time will help. But you can help yourself, by using your meditation and mindfulness that you're learning. When that person comes to mind.. allow it and then realize his choices are out of your control and let it go. You cant change him but you can get control of how you react.

So, i guess it will hurt for longer and i'll get used to not having him in my life anymore ... but as i look back at things, i'm not sure now he ever really cared about me that much.   Anyway... shit happens and we need to deal with it.

i just want all of you to know i am grateful for your friendship and support  xoxo

Think all the positive parts of your life, like your husband's birthday.  Ooh hoo! 

I made spaghetti for myself today!  I love my own spaghetti.  LOL

sorry you've been in a sh***y mood lately. However, you make snort/laugh with the hole in the jeans!

I hope things get better for you. 

Ice cream is a good dessert after spaghetti!

i do have a good life and a wonderful partner.  And the best of friends, here in the DiC.

Spaghetti is wonderful, especially with good wine.

Pumpkin cake... baked pumpkin custard... delish. Take care Ashi. I hope the orange sky soon goes .... take care xo

[Mikiesboy]

All of you have a good Sunday xoxo

[Reader1810]

Weird, here’s all this talk of spaghetti, and just last night before I went to sleep I was thinking spaghetti for dinner would we nice, because it’s been a while...

Had meatloaf made with ground pork recently. It was so yum, I think pork meatballs to go with the spaghetti is in order.  

Good morning everyone. I hope you all have a wonderful day. 

@Mikiesboy I hope all your customers today are kind, considerate, and rational. 

[spyke]

Good morning to all! I hope that everyone has a great day today. 

You all need to stop talking about food. You're making me hongreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!  I guess if you can do pizza for breakfast, there's nothing wrong with spaghetti for breakfast.  LOL

Cold spaghetti fresh out of the fridge? 

Spoiler

I’ll admit to doing that  

 

[kbois]

I have no idea whst I'm fixing for dinner, but spaghetti sounds good. I think I  still have some homemade meat sauce in the freezer. 

Thanks to tropical storm Sally my backyard 'pool' could probably host an Olympic event. There's  just nowhere for the water to go. 

Oh well, I got mom home safe and sound, albeit a bit damp. Time to kick back and chill with some of the whiskey my son brought back from Tennessee. Honeysuckle....not too bad. 

Have a good afternoon everybody!

[rickproehl]

Excuse me Good Sirs and DiC friends.

just wanted to stop in and say “Good Afternoon”.

we have been putting in extra hours this week. we have 2 challenges one was weather related with extra trouble tickets and the other was Covid related (no i’m fine) we have 6 people on quarantine for 2 weeks. so glad we are still working from home. 

So how is your weekend?

[kbois]

Hope everyone is having a decent start to their week. It's stopped raining for the moment. Haven't seen the sun yet, probably not until tomorrow. That storm parked itself across the whole state yesterday.

My boss is on edge because the owner of the property and her boss will be here all week and the manager next door is driving the entire maintenance staff ape shit with stuff she 'has' to have done. What are we? Chopped liver? I think it's gonna be a long week. 

Oh....now I  hear thunder...yay, more rain, just what we need 🤪

Have a good day everyone!

Looks like it could make landfall as a Cat 2. 

Having the owner and manager there all weeks sounds like a nightmare - good luck and stay sane.

Staying sane will be challenging this week. I may need a straight jacket by Friday. 

On top of all the work drama, I just had to order flowers for my nephew's service on Wed. We can't be there because it's up in Mass and we'd have to quarantine. It sucks. 

[mollyhousemouse]

good night

rest well

Yup.  I did pair it with a fine cab I had left over the other day.  Pumpkin cake sounds absolutely nice after spaghetti and wine.

I am feeling better!  Thank you for asking!  Ice cream is great too.  And it's the time of the year pumpkin ice cream is coming out.

That make me happy.  I hope you all manage to have a decent day. @kbois i am very sorry and it does suck. it is awful not being where you know you should, need and want to be at times like this. Hold on to the ones you can. xo

 

Because of how my life was, and how i am now, i don't have a lot of friends in real life. So i want you all to know this:
