Repeat Offenders ~ Nov. 25th ~Thanksgiving Eve

Good morning everyone and Happy Thanksgiving Eve to you all.  

Lora I think we are probably posting at the same time.  Did DD come in last night? I hope they arrived ok.  I hope your back is feeling better this morning.

Ok I need to brb - I need to rearrange - LOL I went into the office late yesterday and got my large monitors and they are too big for my tiny desk and they are very wobbly - I am afraid I am going to lose one to the floor.

Jana - Yikes!  Get those monitors secured.  Lol    DD will arrive this afternoon sometime.

Good morning and happy Thanksgiving Eve!
Lora, I am sure your DD is excited about being home with you. Take it easy though, and I am sure she’d be happy to help you out. Thank goodness you are taking it slowly with your movements. You sure got a lot done yesterday, even moving slowly! I bet you’ll be using your new table during the next few days, how fun!

Susie, ((((hugs)))) I love your DH’s response and it ‘s true. But, it doesn’t make it easier. I totally get it! That’s what I keep thinking about with my kids down the road. But, your DD has found a way to come visit you during these tricky times, so no doubt that will continue in non-pandemic times. YOU will always be fabulous to the grandkids no matter where they are. YOU are LOVED… ((((hugs)))) Sounds like a lovely day yesterday. Today will be a memory maker with the DDs and you cooking together.

Jana, with the new space in the house, is Pop in the same vicinity as you while you work? Hopefully you have some room to get away, maybe hammock time? I giggled at your monitor bit… my DH were doing the same for his space yesterday. I want to move him because he’s too near the perfect Christmas tree spot. But it’s the monitors that make the decision… not us. (in his mind)

Janet, your partner is NOT a partner at all… partners assist each other. :/ It just seems that your friend is alone, except for you. Is there any talk of having her moving to a more permanent assistance place instead of home?

Yesterday I couldn’t wait to pick up DS from Tampa. I sang and sang Christmas songs with the students all day while they did their activities. It’s so nice having him home. Today I have to run to the grocery store for a few last minute items. The dusting still needs to get done. :/ This afternoon, I’ll go to the fitness center with my DH. This afternoon and evening I’ll bake and prep which will help for tomorrow. DH works at 2, so we are eating at noon, which is a bit early for me. So it seems busy, but not really since it’s all happy stuff. What I am really stressing about is our 5 kernel thanks tradition we do around the table. Pretty much each person takes turns saying what they are thankful for 5 times. So, this year I want to focus on the five other people… my DD, and YDS I know what to say… I am in a panic about my MDS, I want the words to encourage him and make a difference. But he’s had such a hard year. So, I better spend some time really making sure my words make sense and are helpful. I want him to feel special.

DD’s school is open today, so she’ll drive up early tomorrow.

I love this time alone in the morning with my coffee and you all. ❤️ Thank you!
Waving hi to Robin MD and all of you!

Jill you asked about my office space.  Our new house is big - we have 5 bedrooms.  4 of them are all on one end of the house (or as I like to refer to it - another wing - lol) So DH's office, my office, a guest room and Pop's room are all kind of all on the same hall.  Pop has what used to be the old master bedroom in this house so he has his own bathroom and a nice walk in closet.  DH's has the next largest room for his office.  He always works from home so I felt like he should have that space.  I have the smallest of the rooms as my office/craft room.  I wanted to have a guest room that was roomy enough that people could actually stay in it.  There is also another bathroom on this end of the house. 

Hi Everyone,


I am getting here later tonite. I was finished with our zoom sessions early today. Yeah! My partner as questionable as that it is doesn't understand the way the links work for zoom. She calls me when I am in the session. I ignored her the first session because I was using my phone to show the kids a story on the tablet. IF I stopped to start messing with the links I lose the kid's attention.

It did appear tho that I only sent her the 10:3O one but I had already sent her others for the same time for this week. She just doesn't get it. Once we are back at school maybe I will show her but not sure that I want to waste my time or breath on it as it probably won't change anything.

I took a short walk around my development since I cant go to the gym and need to get out some for fresh air.

Jana, sorry about your father being annoying when you are trying to work.

I hope everyone has a nice meal together of those who are planning to eat together

I called a while back to the Philadelphia Corporation for Aging. Right about the time they transferred my friend to the rehab someone called me for an update because she couldn't reach her at home. My friend said that the lady did call her there. I havent heard from her since but I do still have her in one of my messages.
Tommorow will be a quiet day. It's supposed to rain a good part of the day anyway so not doing much but hang with Cassie, read,etc.
I still dont have results yet but my coworker said it would actually take longer than what the other person told me. Also, according to her that if it was positive they would call but if negative they will send an email. All I was told look for an email. They gave no follow up directions that were written. My coworker / partner didn't bother to get one either and she said she is going to NY which when she comes back may need to quarantine but I think according to her it seems like she doesn't really want to be in the center so I guess it wouldn't bother her to quarantine as she can stay home.
Ok, have a good night!
