Good morning.
Dh is having rechauffe chicken picatta and wild rice for dinner.
What's on your menu?
I'm going to the grocery store and then I plan to work on my puzzle most of the day. It's been a surprisingly busy week.
What are you up to today?
What are you up to this weekend? I'll be hanging around the house and relaxing. Dh is planning to paint more trim. I have a puzzle to build and a Lego to dream about building when I get back from my trip. Apart from a quick trip to the farmers market and a day of cooking meals for dh to eat while I'm gone, it's a relaxing weekend at home. Dh cooks, but I want him to be able to focus on his home projects and enjoy his time here. Though he enjoys cooking and will likely make a pizza at some point
How is everyone doing?
jeremysgirl, I hope that your camping trip is really fun and sweet w/Jeremy.
Wishing everyone a fun, restful and truly enjoyable weekend.

Hi scrapmaven I am just about ready to file for divorce. Jeremy sprayed bug spray *inside* the camper... I want to kill him... He is obsessed with fucking bugs and it's getting annoying. I'm ready to go to the beach for our last day and he won't put down the damn swatter and take me. I guess he thought deep woods off for human bodies was going to help with gnats inside the camper. Shoot me now. I'm sorry I've been quiet this week. But I've been enjoying being semi off the grid. We will have calzones tonight. Check out is 11 am tomorrow. |

I think I slept for a total of about 90 minutes last night.  Thank goodness for streaming services ... Youtube and Netflix are my friends in the middle of the night and early in the morning! I guess a nap is in my future today but who knows? I don't have any plans today or tonight but tomorrow afternoon is the 25th anniversary celebration for my condo complex ... I'm not sure what that entails but I'm going! I have only lived here for two years ... Dinner is up in the air at the moment ... I cooked last night so the chances of me cooking again tonight are slim!  |

jeremysgirl , I would be annoyed, too. The chemicals would make me wheeze. I hope that he'll take you to the beach very soon, so that you can enjoy your last day. Do not be sorry. You're on vacation and being off the grid is likely part of that peaceful feeling when you're camping. This is all about you and not about us. Have fun today!
leannec, 90 minutes isn't sleep. It's a quick nap. Argh. I wish that that they'd invent something to cure your horrible insomnia. You've been in your condo for 2 years, already? Time flies. I love the way you decorated your condo. It's warm and inviting. |

For some reason, I had some excess energy this morning. I had vacuumed the house, done the laundry, vacuumed the dog, and cleaned the kitchen, all before DH got home from the gym at 9 am. DH is working in the garage on a friends truck (DH is a retired auto mechanic). His friend has limited money, just smashed his car and now needs to be able to drive his truck. DH figures it needs more work than he is prepared or able to do in our garage but as a favour, he will do what he can. jeremysgirl: I laughed about the bugs, but certainly understand how annoyed that would make you. Walker is obsessed with bugs too and is on high alert when he is outside. He was stung by wasps 7 times last summer so you’d think he’d learn not to bite them out of the air. But nope… Supper will be leftover chicken. |

taylortroop, you've had quite the productive morning. Does your dog enjoy being vacuumed? Seems like it would feel like a massage.

Good evening all,
I woke up to rain this morning and it has hardly eased all day. It has also been cold! Last week, temps were up in the mid-high 20s (Celsius) and today our max was just 9! Some areas in the Alps near Austria are even expecting snow over the weekend.
I did manage to get out to do the recycling mostly between showers, but did manage to avoid the heaviest of the rain. I have been knitting all afternoon, but have just had to rip out 4 rows due to a dropped edge stitch I didn’t notice until it made a difference to the pattern count.
I don’t know what we’re doing over the weekend. There will be the usual stuff like groceries tomorrow and church on Sunday, but apart from that we’ve got nothing planned. DH will be home from Sweden tonight but he’s back out to Lisbon on Monday or Tuesday, so he probably just wants to chill.
Dinner tonight will be fish and chips for me and whatever the airport or Lufthansa provide for DH.

We have 3 in the home. One in the living room, one in the kitchen, and one upstairs in the hallway. We catch gnats, flies, mosquitos, and it caught a bee that got in. Outside we have 2 zappers. No odor and no chemicals are used. Just a blue light and sticky pad that you replace as needed. Slides in and out. We got ours at Home Depot but Amazon has them too |

I want to go to Lisbon, but it’s not always fun to accompany work trips as location is not always optimal for sightseeing. It was in our plans for this past summer, until I needed the surgery and now can’t fly so we needed to chose a place we could drive to. |

Happy Friday! My morning has been super chaotic! I've been having wifi issues and the tech came out this morning and did something with my outlet but said it's really a known issue in my neighborhood that could take up to 30 days to resolve. Not great when you work from home! Last night, I was trying to watch TV and it kept going out which is super frustrating. Also frustrating was my dinner last night. Last week, I went to pour some liquid into my Instant Pot and forgot the pan wasn't in there so it landed on the element. I thought I had done a good job cleaning it but I went to make dinner last night and the machine was fried. Now my house smells like burnt food and I have to throw out the dinner. I ended up ordering in DoorDash. Thanks for the thoughts scrapmaven! My dad has a doctor's appointment this afternoon and then we'll probably plan on something for dinner for them. I have no clue what I'm having but I'm trying to talk my sisters into going out. Hope you all have a less chaotic day than I'm having  |

Tearisci, do you have to buy a new IP? 30 days is completely unacceptable What a frustrating situation. I hope that today is much better and this weekend will be fun for you.

I'm not sure if I'm going to replace it because I don't use it all that much. I'll see how I feel in a few weeks if I miss it or not. |

Happy Friday dinner friends. Coming to you from our drama filled quilting retreat! Geeesh- can't we all get along?!?! Warning- Vent ahead- We've been here since mid-day on Wednesday. I'm sharing a room with two friends and one stranger- The strange is the best roomie ever. The friends, eh- one brought a sound machine that she doesn't turn on until she comes to bed sometime between midnight and 2 am with our other loudly snoring friend. So I fall asleep around 10 in silence and wake up when this noise starts. Next gripe- one friend is looking for every excuse to not like this beautiful facility- she stomped off to town stating that the menu here is horrible. I'm not here for the food. I brought back ups in case I didn't like what was served. and now, the other friend used MY bathtowel that has a clip with my name on it, she said there wasn't a clean one- There it lays folded neatly. Now she's asked the owner to do a load of towels just for her. I know these are trivial complaints, But this is why I'm a loner. ** vent over- Dinner is whatever is served or a yogurt if I prefer. jeremysgirl- I hope you and Jeremy are able to relax at the beach today and have a safe trip home! Have a great day ladies! |

Happy Friday the 13th! My dad always said that was a lucky day for him since he was born on a Friday the 13th (different month). Running around like the proverbial chicken with their head cut off, trying to pack myself, the dog and 2 days worth of sewing/quilting stuff, not to mention get myself ready! Goal was to leave by 1 pm, but don't see that happening! DH is doing really well! No more feeding tube and eating regular food so we are supplementing the hospital meals with good stuff like fresh berries, guacamole and the occasional chicken biscuit! PT and OT are working hard with him to get the neck muscles strengthened and they plan to have him on his feet sometime next week! He's almost off the vent as well. We are thinking in the next week or so he'll be moved to rehab and expect those discussions to start after the weekend. So thankful for all the progress he's made. He's just finished week 11 and is ready to be out of there! Absolutely no clue what dinner is as the retreat, but they are serving dinner. The only meal they don't provide is Sat. breakfast so I tossed in my coffee pods and some PopTarts! The breakfast of champions!  Hope everyone has some fun plans for the weekend! |

Tearisci , that really sucks that you lost your IP. austnscrapaddict , who uses someone else's bathrobe? Ew. These are the reasons I always wanted my own room. Sounds like you're rooming w/some party poopers. What a drag. Are you able to enjoy the quilting?
**GypsyGirl**, I love hearing more good news about your husband. Hey, raspberry pop tarts should be a food group of their own. Yummy. Have fun this weekend and let your cares go.

We’re having BLTs for dinner. I may add avocado to mine. I stopped at a farm stand yesterday to get a nice fresh tomato. I had breakfast with karenlou and she brought me one of her tomatoes plus a bag of grape tomatoes along with gifts from France. ❤️ |

I'll try and pop back in and respond later (no promises though)
Dinner tonight is lemon flounder, sauteed yellow squash, and ?? myabe rice or couscous - DD17 is cooking so up to her.
Another day, another school lockdown...this one for a suspicious person with a gun near (not on) campus. All is well but parents are melting down all over FB and parent groups because we didn't get a text until the all clear. I'm fine with that - please focus on securing the campus and keeping everyone safe. It's not like I can do anything if they told me earlier anyway

I'm sharing a room with two friends and one stranger Say that again.  You are in a room of FOUR women?  That is a recipe for disaster!  I couldn't do it ... I would last about an hour and then I would be looking for alternate arrangements. Hope you are having fun despite this crazy situation! |

Just got home from AquaFit ~ learned two more names. I ask 1 or 2 people each time and am slowly learning everyone's names. Today I learned Karen and Emily. Tomorrow is our development's semi-annual yard sale ~ somewhere between 300-400 homes participate and we'll go out at 8 and have fun for a few hours then come home to watch the LSU game which will be recorded. We'll put some free stuff on our driveway for people to cart off. Dinner is undecided. TGIF!! Someone was giving this away in our Facebook Buy Nothing group and it made me laugh.  |

As Kellee said she took DH and I out for breakfast….It was good to see her, as it’s been since before my Trip that we got together .
I stopped at the vet on my way home to pick up My Graces ashes…..so the crying continues…..I do I miss her so.😢
Leannec… I had a 90 minute nap before noon this morning!!!!
Dinner will be a pasta dish with sausage and pumpkin…..a favorite of DH….so I’m throwing him a bone today!!!!
Have a good Day, everyone😎

I know these are trivial complaints Not trivial at all! I would be ticked. Next month is my 36th crop and my roommate/friend is going through a hellish divorce so she might not be there. She couldn't make it last time so I just got a room to myself. It costs more but it is so worth it! (That's what CapitalOne points are for!) |

I agree about the bath towel austnscrapaddict, that is so gross. I would be super mad  but, I wouldn't say anything because that is just the way I am. I would be off to find a fresh towel and I would hide it under my pillow. Also...there is no way I could share a room with 3 other women. I sleep so light I would be awake all night listening to them breathing!! I hope other than that you are having fun quilting. cadoodlebug I totally cracked up at the photo you posted!! leannec How can you even function on that much sleep? I hope you get a fat nap today. Last night dinner with friends was really nice and yummy. I am not sure what we are having tonight. I am craving a fat salad but I might have that for lunch. I am plugging away in the office trying to get ahead of things since after Monday I will be out for a couple weeks. This weekend I am hoping to get a pedicure and groceries. Exciting, I know!!  |
