Good evening lurkers :wub:

I have heard of smaller ones happening around the area and reading how people felt them or whatever but til today I’d never experienced it. It was neat but not neat if you know what I mean. Obviously it pales in comparison to the tragedy in Turkey. :(

Aww Dale, sorry some of your juice was non existent/not the greatest. Glad to hear your order finally arrived.

    Yeah I saw that about Turkey, sad. :(

    Eh it happens, I’m basically starting over :laugh: I’ve got two going right now that I like and can get them locally if needed. I’m dual using so they last a while but a carton of cigs is well over 100 dollars now so I’ve got to do something.

    I’m a bit curious, what exactly are you wanting from Terry that you’re not already getting?
    Honestly, I don't know what I want.
    Questions.gif
    I do however know exactly what I do not want and there seems to be a long list there. I worry too much about everything. It's just what I do. I am working on that but so far it has only been minimally successful. I am the happiest I have been in a very long time. I know that.

    I want Terry to stay my friend and I would like to keep doing things with him but I am not sure I want a relationship with him or anyone. I want to keep doing things I have always wanted to do and things I have never done (which is a lot). I have lived quite a sheltered life if you want to know the truth.

    Terry called tonight. I just got off the phone with him. He asked me to go back down to the coast Thursday. Said we would stay til Monday or Tuesday. I kind of thought he would ask when he said something about going down there. I told my aunt that her daughter might have to take her to her next eye appointment because it is on the 13th. I made it on a Monday because that is her daughter's off day. She is a hairdresser.

    :wub: Going to go read and try to get sleepy. Hope everyone has a nice Tuesday.

    Nice dinner!! Glad your day was good.

    Cleaned up from dinner, washed my lunch container and did a quick walk to add to the one I did this morning. Hit 11k+ steps today. :thumb: Definitely not consistent but something is better than nothing. Lol

    Gonna go watch tv for a bit. Sweet dreams :wub:
    Yeah I wish I could walk with you. Have a good night Sara :wub:

    Good morning all. I tried to chill out last night and get rid of a headache. It is only minimally better upon awakening this morning. Not sure what is up with that. Feels like sinuses maybe. Thank goodness it is just one of those that agitate you and not one that makes you go into a dark room.

    They are calling for snow Saturday night and Sunday morning here. With the people around here that means yesterday started the bare shelves of milk and bread at the grocery store.

    No snow in the forecast for Sea Level (where I am going) but rain for most of our trip. I hate there will be no boat ride but I really don't care what the weather is going to do because I know I will have fun no matter what.

    One of the couples I met last time is going to be down there. They happen to live somewhere close to where I live. They were so nice to me and Donna was really a funny lady. Has no filter. Sort of like someone you all have come to know/tolerate.

    heehee

    I was sort of surprised last night because Terry called and said he was going to trade guns with some family member tonight. I sure am going to miss going to the church for supper. Probably worked out best for me. They were having BBQ and that seems to raise my blood pressure. Not a good idea if you have a headache. It also works out for me because I have not even started packing yet. Boy, not like last time when I started days before packing everything but the kitchen sink. Nope, I imagine my packing will be a lot lighter this time.

    I never use all the sauce that comes with the General Tso chicken I fixed the other night. I was not very hungry last night so I got out a pack of ReadyRice and pour that sauce over it. It was good. I try not to waste anything. I will have to find something else tonight also because I did not want to buy salad stuff since I was going to be away. I am sure I will find something in the freezer that I need to get rid of.

    Our glasses (my aunt's and mine) are supposed to come in on the 10th. I am going to call today and see if possibly they have come in early. I want my aunt to get hers as soon as possible because I am hoping she will be able to see a little better. If they do not come in, I am going to call my cousin (her daughter) and ask if she can take her to Samsclub to pick them up. When I made my aunt's eye appointment I told her I was making it on her daughter's off day because I might be away. I am sure her daughter will take her. I am really concerned about my aunt's eyesight. I almost feel like I should stay home and take her but that is just the caregiver coming out in me.

    And I bet you thought since I did not post last night that you wouldn't have to read a short story.

    I get started and my fingers/mind will just cannnot find a stopping point.

    Well, the gym is open now and that treadmill is calling my name. Better have a good workout since I will not be able to go til next Tuesday or Wednesday. Can you believe that I am going to miss going to the gym? I think the old me was abducted and replaced with the new and improved Rat 2.0. bahahahahahaha

    Hope everyone has a wonderful day.

    Well, at least it is going in the right direction.

    You keep babying that back. I know how easily a flair-up can take a turn. I need to knock on wood (or my head) and hopefully, I did not just jinx myself. heehee It has been a good while since I have had an episode with my back. Maybe the gym is helping me in more ways than just getting me out of the house.

    Good evening lurkers :wub:

    I would love to be close enough to walk with you, Dale :) Love that you found a good book. Hope you don’t have any flooding.

    Definitely keep taking it easy, Joey. Getting older definitely sucks. And if you aren’t already maybe find some stretches to do to strengthen it.

    Aww shucks, Rat2, but maybe you are right and it’s better to skip the bbq. They are like that here too, buy up all the bread, milk and eggs. French Toast is mighty popular during a snowstorm *said sarcastically* :lol: Hope you have a lovely trip!

    It feels like a Friday to me. Can’t believe there are two more work days. :nah:
