Good Morning Kids! Thanks for serving us brunch, NancysSummerSip! I'd like a bagel, and some of that fruit, although those cinnamon rolls look mighty good. How is your weather, NancysSummerSip? Does EE have to add a boat to our transportation options? Or, should we just send the bus with the big tires?

OMG busymom I forgot about the big yellow bus! I may need that in about five minutes. It's thundering outside. Seriously. Like we need more rain right now.

Good Morning Kids! We've got a major heat wave arriving today. It's unusual to hit the mid-90's, or higher, until at least July at the earliest.
I hear my old neighborhood is in danger of flooding the next couple of days. I hope not. I'll be checking in with my old neighbors to find out what's happening there.

It's raining here again and shower or rain is pretty much forecast for the next 10 days.

Well, the weatherman underestimated how hot it would get today. My car thermometer hit 98 degrees just driving through the neighborhood, and DD's hit 100 degrees driving home from work. Check in when you can, NancysSummerSip, and let us know how you're doing. Are the floods getting worse?

Good Morning Kids! We're on a weather rollercoaster here, flirting with 100 degrees a couple of days ago, and now we're only in the high 50's, with a high in the 60's today. This crazy weather isn't doing my back any good.

Good morning everyone. Heat and humidity are back. 90* at 10 am. Looks like my garden fence hasn't kept out the rabbits. Lost 2 - foot tall sunflowers. Chopped down at the base then not eaten.

Well today took an interesting turn around noon, Mom called and they have scheduled her second hip replacement for next Tuesday. Right now our county is still in Phase I reopening which means no visitors at the hospital. Mom did say she was told that one person would be allowed to go up with her and stay with her before the surgery and then wait while the surgery was taking place. Once she was moved to her room we were to leave and no further visiting would be allowed. We are hoping that she will be allowed to come home after this surgery and not go to the care facility. If it weren't for COVID we wouldn't have an issue with the care facility for a week or so. My niece can come stay with her during the day, we have upgraded the hand railings from the first floor up to the bedrooms (it is just 5 steps), added hand rails to the shower, and Mom is just plain more mobile since she had the one hip done. If I need to stay with her at night for a while that is doable.

Good Morning Kids! Sharon, I'm sending prayers & positive thoughts your direction, as dealing with surgery during a pandemic must be a major PITA. And speaking of PITA's, a pox on our local DMV. They were having massive problems with their new computer system when we were moving out of town, and I thought surely they'd get it all figured out by the time we got back, right? WRONG! Of course, COVID-19 just adds to their chaos. As if they aren't p*ssing people off enough, DH waited in line for 4 1/2 hours yesterday, and by the time it was his turn to go in the building, the security guard wouldn't let him go in. The line was literally cut off with DH. It's like, thank you SO MUCH for having me lose most of a day's pay. Why couldn't they just tell people, after they hit a certain number, that no more business was going to be done that day? I mean, it was lunch time, for crying out loud. Must be nice to get security to do your dirty work for you. NOT happy. And yes kids, in spite of all of the obstacles we faced when living in Florida, at least the DMV there had their act together. In fact, in an hour you could actually have your new driver's license in your hand. Not here. You get to wait 6-8 weeks, if you're lucky, and in the meantime have a piece of paper in your wallet. What's worse is, we haven't even gotten our license plates yet, because we have to get the DL's done first. The idiots are in charge. Again.

Sorry to hear about that Busy. That sounds like a complete pain.
I so need caffeine today.
Good Luck to your mom Sharon.

Good Morning Kids! We FINALLY made it to Friday. And what a week it's been. DH finally got inside the building at the DMV, and got to take his written driver's test, and passed!

I keep meaning to post that I am still very worried about Wyouser. He hasn't been here since last September and my board since last July. Does anyone know him IRL? moon/Laura Moonie have you by any chance tried to email him using the email address from here?
Have a Fantastic Weekend!!! you're at least the third person who has asked me that this week. No, I haven't emailed him because to me, that's an invasion of privacy. Unless they say it's OK, I don't do it. And I don't know his real name either, so I can't Google.

Unfortunately, I'd have to suspect otherwise, because I think he'd be here if he were OK.

Today is going out with a bang, as in a big explosion of nothing working correctly. So ready for the weekend after putting out fires all day. I don't even have to fix dinner tonight. On Wednesday I asked Mom if I got her all the ingredients for beef stroganoff if she would make it for Friday dinner. That was agreeable to her. So tonight I will show up around 5 and dinner will be ready, then I will stay and watch some TV with Mom. I also told her she could freeze the leftovers for when she came home from the hospital.

Good Morning Kids! It's been one of those unproductive weeks here too, Sharon, mostly because so much here is closed down or operating slowly due to COVID-19. But, I DON'T want them to open everything up, and have the hospitals overwhelmed, so I do what I can. Still can't get license plates for the cars. When you walk up to the license centers, they tell you to have an appointment, & refer you to their webpage. So, I visited their webpage, and they're only scheduling for 2 weeks out, and every appointment time is taken. Guess I'll be driving with out-of-state plates for awhile longer...

Hello my super Saturday peeps. It is a day for errands, it looks like. Did a few this morning, including picking up free lunch subs -- I had two sandwich vouchers from donating blood platelets this week. Also stopped at Wally World for TP and paper towels, which they had in abundance, unlike my local grocery store, which has been out for three months. Heading out after lunch for pet food, a new pillow and a massage wrap for DH, who had a date with his cardiologist yesterday. News not that good. But he cannot undergo surgery to fix the issue, so it will be up to meds to help from this point. He is very tired all the time now. Dinner is chicken marsala and roasted red potatoes.

NancysSummerSip Sorry about the news from the cardiologist. Hopefully the medicine can be tweaked to work.

So sorry about the cardiologists report NancysSummerSip. Don't give up. My Mom lasted for years with her combination of issues, including heart. It's amazing what medication can do now.

His appetite is sometimes good, sometimes not. The loss of energy is the worst. Not that he could really go anywhere due to the virus and his other issues, but this just adds to the risk. It's harder on me because I have to have energy and drive and time for two now, and that means everything to do in the house falls on me. Obviously, there's no going back to my job at the office, not that I wanted to. The idea of leaving him alone to fend for himself does not sit well with me.

Looks like I need to go out again today -- I need tomato sauce, dried cherries and DH needs drinks -- Wally World has consistently been a good bet for all these things lately. I did get the car washed and waxed last night.
