    Nothing on the agenda today. I'm off from work but have a terrible work hangover. I'm taking care of 30 post acute patients. I'm only use to 20 patients max. This is a lot of work but I'm hoping it will get easier with repetition.
    Might mix the Stixx Mixx.
    Are you making more money for the more work you're getting.

    Somewhere between here and there
    If you get stuck check out one of the games many online help sites. You can Google the name of the game and the area you are in and info will come up on how to get through a problem area. Youtube also helps.

    I'm stuck right now on the avengers game. I'm in the park with the robots running around searching and can't quite figure out how to get out yet without getting caught. I don't like on the avengers game how each time you get caught or killed, it goes to a cut scene of the characters and you have to wait for what seems like forever to go back to playing.

    Good morning random folks :) Have you any plans today?
    I got the giant box of new flavors sorted into storage categories, only to find.... yep, out of space!!
    I’m going to order two more cases so there’s breathing room. Most slots have three already.
    I’ll put it back in baggies by group after I mix. At least I won’t have to sort it all again.

    You got a lot done it sounds like. I cleaned the bathroom, did my laundry, and had lunch.

    I've been painting the house. Today I have to rehang some gutter downspouts. We have another 3 dry warm days in the forecast so I might get one more wall painted this week. We are doing it with yellow walls and teal trim. Pretty bright. Maybe I'll post a pic later. Wife got the colors from a picture of a house in NO. Last night I was doing some touchup painting and a couple from up the road drove by. People we know from the neighborhood. They stopped and the wife got out and came over. She said, are you really going to paint the whole house this color? I said yes. Don't suppose I could change your mind could I? That went on for a while. She strongly disapproved. said something about I guess I'll just have to wear shades when I drive by here. At that point I said why don't you take a different route through the neighborhood and climbed back up the ladder.

    Anyway. My wife has been using Pro Tanks for years. She didn't vape a lot. But recently she has upped her intake so I'm getting ready to dig out some new tanks for her. I'm getting tired of filling her tanks twice a day. I figured a Lemo, a STM, and a KFL. See what she prefers. Pro Tanks are a bit weak, she has been chain vaping them to death. They get overheated and burn the juice and clog up the tiny coils. I'm hoping the bigger tanks will give her what she needs without chain vaping. That's my vaping plan for today.
    They call them “painted ladies” down here. And, yes, they’re usually very bright. There’s a neighborhood close by with lots of shotguns (houses, not weapons lol) that looks like a rainbow when you pass by. My MIL’s neighbor has their house painted sunflower yellow with white trim and dark royal blue shutters. It’s a huuuge house, that I bet is worth close to 8-9 hundred k. It’d all probably give your “neighbor” a seizure :rolleyes:. Tell your wife, kudos. Her house, her rules. If she loves it, that’s all that matters. I bet it’ll be a bit on sunshine during the dreary winter!

    I got most of the laundry done yesterday. I’m down to the linens and a couple of sleeping bags the kids took camping last weekend. We did “fridge cleanout” (aka leftovers) last night for dinner, and I need to wipe down the fridge while it’s relatively empty. And check for tossers that have quietly expired hidden in the back lol.
    I set aside some flavors I have no idea why I bought. May have been because Gremlin had them on clearance, like LB cherry blossom tea, and (all) WF butter pecan pie, hibiscus candy, fruits and creams, and vanilla runyan custard. And, I need to sft the rest of the MF.

    Are you making more money for the more work you're getting.
    Not really. A difference of .52 cents or so. However, health coverage is better. I do pay a hefty premium though. Hubs is getting social security now so I'm basically working 4 day work weeks.

    P.S. I need to work because I feel I or hubs would drive each other crazy at home. A sense of autonomy (not related to politics). :)

    I don't have the spare time to sit in front of a computer and play games. I never got interested in them anyway.
    I use to watch my son play until I figured out they caused me motion sickness. He was such a little tike and thought it was personal. I don't play games either. No time for it.

    So you have 3 day weekends? That would be a bit better.

    The days vary. No 3 day weekends. The time frame is set in a 14 day pay period. Nursing is a 24 hour 7 day/night week job. Out of those 14 days I only work 8 days. Most people who work full time work 10 days a pay period or 5 days a week (the old Monday though Friday job). I have every other weekend off and certain days off during the week. My hardest stretch is a 4 day span. From taking immune suppressant type drugs I have a lot of fatigue I'm working with.

    I can see where the 4 day span would be the worse. It’s a stressful job. You stay safe :wub:

    6 sft/dft bottles done. I’m glad to be almost done with this batch of 10ml bottles, I really don’t like them. The neck mushes down when I put the dropper top on it. And the dropper end is too fat for pods.
    I did:
    Gremlins Imp Dust
    LB cherry blossom tea
    WF : butter pecan pie
    Vanilla runyan custard
    Hibiscus candy
    Peach cream pie+ butter tart

    Thank you! Trying to food prep for my 4 day stretch. I'm making some low carb cheesecake bites (which is actually cooked in muffin tins with paper liners) I can freeze them after cooking. LOL only if they survive.
    I need to mix the stixx mixx. My curiosity is overwhelming me now.

    I was on reddit and came across a small vendor who released a few of their recipes. I'll post them here hoping it might inspire.

    My wife and I have been married almost 17 years and all of that time has been both of us home 24/7 together. We have separate TV's in different rooms - believe me it has to be that way or we'd strangle each other.

    I totally get it. I think people need some space (free time) to themselves. We do share a tv but I only watch a few shows that I stream. 33years here..
