What has our pandemic been like? Lonely. I miss my yoga class friends and my horse friends. I am looking forward to our second Phizer vaccinations at the end of the month. After that is done I hope to see friends at yoga & the stable. Looking at our community, many long time restaurants have been closed. Some are riding it out but only a few are still open. This has been difficult for everyone.1

Well today was a rough start. The mister made coffee in our percolator and it exploded all over the kitchen. I'm not sure there was any surface in the entire kitchen that was not splattered with coffee grounds or coffee, including me. I was standing next to it when it happened. I got splattered in the face. I haven't looked in the mirror yet, but since the mister didn't gasp, I have to think it didn't have lasting effects. It did burn when it happened and still stings a bit. I can feel coffee grounds in my hair. Guess I'll be showering sooner than later today.
Hopefully, we will look back at this and laugh some day, but today it was very un-fun. We did take the opportunity to pull the oven out, clean behind it and re-level it. I had been leveling the burners with coins (the cheapest repair known to man - 20¢). It worked somewhat, but it is nice to have it leveled now. We will have to repaint the painted walls though. They are quite stained.
The knee isn't really getting any better. I'm trying some different physical therapy exercises. The hip issue is resolving, so I can sleep a bit on my sides. The cut fingers are healing, but they still hurt, and the thumb is getting better, ever so slowly. I am going to try a bike ride today to see if my knee can handle that. I need to do some type of cardio or I'll blow up like a balloon in a real hurry.
Pip - I can't believe they messed up and just expect you to fix it. We would have left it and told them to fix it and call us in a week. That's a pretty big mistake. It's not like they gave you mashed potatoes instead of carrots.
Sending calorie-less virtual cookies to all in need. I might eat a real cookie today. I feel like I need it.

What a really cute Minnie you have! My only question is, "Does it have a toilet?"
Carol in GA1 -
Pip - loving the Minnie.
Well done on the fix.
Our Zoom was a mixed blessing. My best friend seems to hate having her whole face showing. Annoys me no end.
Grrr! She was at work and very stressed.
We have another Zoom with DH 's younger daughter in half an hour. I find it stressful. Need a drink.
The memoir stuff has primed me for getting in a state. I want a magic person to come and help me.
:sad: :sad: :sad:

Pip - Minnie looks great, as do you and Kirby. Glad you finally got your Meerkat!

Phone appointment with the doctor yesterday morning... my TSH (thyroid test) is improving but still just above the high side of the range, which means the thyroid isn't working quite like it should. They're sending me the higher dose pills, should be here soon. I am not a patient person, and I'm really, really tired of being tired and cold.
Added to that, my stamina is just gone. I went out this afternoon, beautiful day, to chainsaw some wood that Johnny cut down for us and needed to be shortened. I lasted all of 45 minutes and then I was back in the house sweating and exhausted. I really want this to work.
Have I said I'm not a patient person?
Yeah, I thought so.
Love y'all,

45 minutes of using a chain saw would exhaust anyone!1 -
Kylia--DH and I watch the Barrett Jackson and it shocks me what some of those cars sell for. Enjoy seeing all the old cars.
Pip--Love your new meerkat and glad they got it all fixed before you left.
Tina--WOW!! So glad you were not hurt any worse. What happened? Does not sound like a fun way to start the day.
Lisa--45 minutes of chainsawing are you crazy.
Blessings, Vicki GRAND ISLAND NE 4 -
Lisa - I wouldn't do one minute of chainsawing! Oh my!
Zoom with two step daughters went OK. The younger one is super stressed about the ongoing noise in her new apartment. Plus high fuel bills.

Worked today and work tomorrow so no formal exercise
After work the appraiser came here (we’re refinancing our mortgage), then went to Aldi and WalMart. Newcomer bowling tonight. I think there’ll only be 4 of us, but that’s OK
Texted Denise that we’d be up Memorial Day weekend. She just said that they had plans which they’ve had for a long time. I know what the plans are…to go down the shore. So we asked her if we can come up 4th of July weekend. I just now sent her a note on facebook that Vince and I would love to watch PJ while she and Pete honor their commitment. To think…I haven’t seen PJ since September, and he’s NEVER been to our house. If it’s too hard for Denise to plan coming here, why isn’t it too hard for her to plan going to the shore? Well…I’m just feeling sad right now. Better wait to see if she has an “excuse” why we can’t come up 4th of July weekend. We haven’t even heard from her in over two months
Carol GA – Hello there!!!!
Pip – Minnie is grand
Michele NC
Off to Newcomer bowling

I am so sorry that your daughter is treating you and your husband the way she seems to have been doing for a very long time. (((HUGS)))

UPDATE: after a friends suggestion we renamed her Bette 2.02

What I miss most with the pandemic is letting other people pet my dog and being able to pet other people's dogs. 1 -

I suspect the tube that perc's the water up through the grounds was clogged and it just built up too much pressure. I had enough grounds in my hair to make a bit of coffee in the shower, but otherwise I seem unscathed.

No glass shattering? I had the image that the coffee pot exploded!0 -

Pip: Your Minnie looks like fun! Congratulations!!! Bette 2.0 is a good name. Enjoy!
(((Lisa))): I agree with Peach—45 minutes using a chain saw is demanding and would exhaust anyone who isn’t an actual lumber jack or does the job frequently.
(((Michele))): So sorry about Denise.
We have not named our RV, a good thing. I love it, but DH wants something smaller. I don’t expect us to make a change in the near future, and I don’t want to be sad about the name of the rig we have now. I love it, he doesn’t. It is relatively big and old, and has had lots of repairs. :ohwell:

HUGS! From the sound of everything (Except Pip) it has been a hard day all around. Mine wasn't bad, just rough.
Ladies, please make sure your affairs are in order, easily understood, easily executed. We can't do ours until stuff with his mom's is settled. I know that will be an interesting discussion. I think that having less is so much easier! Taxes are easier. Wills are easier. I think that I had less concerns when I had less. Yes, I had to figure out how to pay for things, but I never went hungry, I had a roof over my head, and I had clothes. Those aren't concerns anymore, but much more complicated.
Need to get some work done while I watch the cars. Saw a cool new Yorker station wagon go across the block. Not my style, but unique!

We made our wills really simple with no specific items mentioned. If I go first, my husband gets it all. If he goes first, I get it all. Whatever "all" is at the time.
If we both go at the same time, then "all" is divided between certain family members.
I couldn't be bothered doing the ... "the crystal bowl goes to aunt so and so", "the collection of costume jewellery goes to cousin so and so" etc. etc. Just sell it up and divide the money.

Carol GA – maybe when Denise was growing up I did too much for her, I don’t know.

My t-shirt quilt was here waiting for me. It’s hanging by Kirbys quilt. It has shirts from my Amazon days, riding and running days and volunteer days for MS

Barbara - I thought I read not long ago that it has been proven as a myth that eating just before sleeping stores calories as fat.
I swear men lose faster, my husband can lose it fast when he’s being active.
Terri - we need two cars for 1/2 the year when Rodger and I work different directions.
Kelly - I get so many songs stuck in my head. The oddest one though is Alice, who the F$&* is Alice. I don’t know who sings it, or even the whole song. Another one is a kids song called Skinnamarink.
Pip - love the new camper! Glad they had it fixed for you.
Tina - I bet you are grateful it wasn’t a worse injury for you or DH.
Lisa - I think 45 minutes is a long time. I would call that a win.
Michele - I hope Denise soon changes her attitude.
A cold dreary spring day today. Mix of rain and snow.
My cousin is finally getting some help with getting her MIL into care and out of her house. When I saw them on the weekend her husband looked like he had aged 20 years since I saw him in June. It’s been a rough go for them since November. I hope the rest goes very fast.
I am watching Outdaughtered, I have enjoyed watching the little girls grow up.

This is on a photographer’s page I follow. This lady celebrated her 60th with a cake smash photo shoot.

More of the 60th birthday shoot. She crochets too apparently.
