Hi everyone! I am going to get my flu shot this morning ... I teach so many students so I'm exposed to viruses everyday ... better to be safe than sorry! After my shot, I'm hitting Costco to buy a microwave because my condo doesn't have one . Of course I will buy other things too! This is what I posted on Facebook today ... it represents my regular weekend but my girlfriend is actually coming over this afternoon to help me pack up the majority of my house ... most is already done because of the renovation but we still need to do the kitchen, some parts of closets and under the sinks ... good times! I take possession of my condo on Tuesday and move on Wednesday! We will then either eat my last Hello Fresh meal or get takeout for dinner ... I'm leaning toward takeout because we'll be TIRED! How are you feeling The Birdhouse Lady? Loved the photo of you and your dgs lucyg! So tall! My dd's, especially dd#2, tower over me too. What are your plans today? What is on your menu tonight? Have a great Saturday everyone!

Hubby is sick...so I will make him this Lemon Chicken Rice Soup. Otherwise, we will stay home. His three tests say he doesn't have Covid; but we will be cautious.

Feeling really good today. Have more energy than I have had in a couple of months so I’m getting some things done around the house that have been put off. Not sure what’s for dinner probably something with chicken and veggies in a little bit of pasta or rice. It’s a beautiful day here the sun is shining it’s about 60°. That I need to sort all my scrapbook stuff one more time to prepare for my scrapbook weekend in three weeks.

How exciting leannec! Good luck with your packing today. I have three days off this weekend and I swear I'm not going to waste them. I know there will be some crying but I'm determined that I'm not going to sit like a zombie all weekend. In that vein, I found the perfect pattern this morning for some yarn in my stash. I have just finished winding it and I'm going to take a shower here in a sec and get on it. There is a yarn store about half hour away that I've never been to. Jeremy has suggested this morning that we go there today. They are only open until 2 pm. And he is not home from work yet. So I don't know if we will make it in time. But I know this is his attempt to cheer me up. I'll be making that Home Chef corn chowder this evening because I have half a loaf of french bread I want us to eat before it goes bad. I will warm that for butter. I saw this meme this morning and it made me laugh. I know it would have been better last weekend with all the W sauce talk.

Probably going out for dinner tonight with friends.
I will be busy piecing together a quilt top. The theme is *grapes & wine* as I have several fabrics that are grape/wine themed.
Beautiful day outside so probably a walk will happen as well.
Have a wonderful weekend to the dinner tribe.

leannec , did I tell you that a couple months ago I was taken care of by your doppleganger in the hospital? She was your identical twin. Same face, same hairdo that was in one of the first photos you posted, same height. It was YOU. I kept wanting to tell her that she was a teacher and not a nurse. I wanted to get a photo, but it would have been creepy to ask. Are you taking days off in order to move? christine58 , so glad that you're feeling good today. Use it to have some fun, too. Woohoo. jeremysgirl , the great thing about this tribe is that we're here all weekend. So, let us help you when you need us. Jeremy is a good guy. I hope he'll be home in time to go to the yarn store.
guzismom, I hope that your dh feels much better quickly and that you stay free of any cooties.
Dh is going to be priming the walls in ods's room today. First we have to go to Home Depot and choose flooring. Dh is going to install it. He's like a kid in a candy store and so excited about doing this project. Mil is coming for lunch and we'll likely do Chinese takeout. I'm going to play w/my new Joy, because I'm determined.
Dinner will be a fend night. We have rechauffe fajitas or there will be lunch rechauffe.
Enjoy today my lovelies.

Hi guys, I have been stocking this thread for months and have decided to join, if there is room for another . I have been a pea for years but there was a glitch in my account so I have started over but with the same bleach name.
it’s been a emotional week as my son had his first child and I missed it! Covid got me finally! They had a successful home water birth and everyone is doing well.
Tonight I am going to make chicken Parmesan with rice and cauliflower for sides . I will drop it off tomorrow for them to have for dinner and make extras for hubby and I. It has been 13 day and 10:days from our positive result. We both feel much better and not needed medication in the last 48 hrs.
If all goes well we will be able to visit with our masks on of course. I hate that the Covid and RSV numbers are rising.
I hope everyone’s day plans go well and for those recovery from illness, surgery, packing to move , and going through an emotional time give yourself some grace

christine58 , so glad that you're feeling good today. Use it to have some fun, too. well I’m gonna try and take it easy so that this good feeling continues because this is the best I have felt in about six months. I did a little bit of house work I just more tomorrow since the Buffalo Bills don’t play till 8:30 PM. So my goal today is to sort through my scrapbooking materials and get ready for a crop in three weeks.

We are just leaving our wine tasting. We have had a great time, lots of delicious wines. The owner even stayed after everyone else left and did a private tasting of some Portuguese wines just for us. Once we drop off our minivan at Munich airport, we are going out for dinner but I don’t know where.
I am on my phone in a car in the dark, so I will read and respond later.

We slept 9 hours last night and got up at 7:30! Just got back from our walk ~ it's distressing to see how low the lake is. Tonight we're having Tri-tip roast with the usual sides. Wishing everyone a peaceful weekend. jeremysgirl , try to do things that bring you joy.

Good morning. Apparently my destiny today is to be home bound- I have a flat tire and dh is gone all day. That’s fine, I didn’t need to go anywhere, really. I have plenty of food and plenty of things to do to keep me busy. Dinner tonight is a big salad with a side of choose your own leftover adventure since we have a variety of things to clear out.

You must be getting so excited leannec. I actually am! I'm super sad and super excited at the same time ... crazy! leannec , did I tell you that a couple months ago I was taken care of by your doppleganger in the hospital? She was your identical twin.

I wanted to get a photo, but it would have been creepy to ask. Are you taking days off in order to move? You did mention that nurse! So weird! Yes, I'm taking Wednesday and Thursday off ... it's a pain to do sub plans but I have laptops booked for both days so that should keep a lid on things for her! Hi guys, I have been stocking this thread for months and have decided to join, if there is room for another . I have been a pea for years but there was a glitch in my account so I have started over but with the same bleach name. Welcome! The ladies on this thread are THE BEST!!!!

Welcome kokomo37. Congratulations on your grandbaby. So happy to hear you are feeling better christine58. I was thinking I might start my Christmas cards too KelleeM. It sounds like a lot of us are having gorgeous weather. I’m going for a walk outside because tomorrow it’s supposed to rain.

Hi guys. My DS slept over at siblings and fiance's house in Madison last night on way home from Colorado trip. I told them to get lunch on me. They got chow from a good deli. Sounds sooooo good. No such thing in this dinky town. I googled "best deli near here" and results included Jersey Mike's, Walmart and Arby's. Yeah no. The answer is all of them. Sad

kokomo37 that really stinks you guys caught COVID right as your grandchild was being born. But, thank goodness you didn't see the baby before you knew you had it. That would have been far worse. I hope you guys get the little one soon.

Welcome to the table, kokomo37! What terrible timing to get covid with the new baby needing cuddles, but I agree with jeremysgirl, it would be so scary to get sick after seeing them. I'm hiding from DH who is annoyed because the 10-15 minutes he thought it would take to sign financial papers has taken over an hour as he tries to correct them first. He's complaining about all the "wrong" information on them and didn't like when I pointed that the information is correct based on when we opened the accounts in 2007 and how would they know about changes if we didn't tell them. And he didn't like when I said I don't think he can generate the changes which seems to be true given the number of failed tries. On the plus side, at least he is reading the declarations before signing anything. I'm not sure what I feel like for dinner. My menu planning says Italian sausage stuffed peppers and zucchini but I'm not feeling it. I have a friend that posts on IG the prettiest Friday night charcuterie boards and have been thinking it's been too long since I made something like that. But it would involve a trip to the store which I'm not feeling right now either.
