I'm tired of cooking/preparing 3 meals a day. It's just the two of us but boy oh boy can that woman eat!! She stays slimish, I get fattish. It's bad enough I do everything here much less start making her one thing and me the other. At times I feel guilty when I buy her fast food cuz of the nutritional value....not to mention I eat it too.
Absolutely! My daughter has only recently started to pack a bag properly.
Oh my gosh, before she would over pack her bag horribly! LOL 😆
I thought everyone had a block heater in your part of the world Golden?
This morning I had to get three taps out of each pair of socks that we got as a Christmas gift. Wasn't easy as the socks were those thick fuzzy kinds, thus I had to feel my way to snip and get both sides of the tab.
Suggestion, if someone is giving fuzzy socks to an elder for Christmas, and you know the socks won't be returned, snip out those plastic taps please. It would make life so much easier :) Not easy holding a magnifying glass in one hand, the scissors in the 2nd hand, and the socks in my 3rd hand... oh wait... never-mine, you get the picture.
Okay, I see. I guess if I grew up in the freezing cold I would be acclimated to it but it all sounds so miserable to be living with extreme cold weather temperatures.
People say the same thing about our heat. They hate it if they have never experienced living with hot humid summers.
Hopefully, my daughter’s plane will be able to remain on schedule. Hey, it’s great that it wasn’t canceled like so many other flights were.
need - glad your daughter is close to boarding. Cars warm up at our temps which are much colder than yours. It is a good idea to start the car and let it run for a while to warm up the engine and the interior. To prevent it being stolen you lock the car while it is idling, But, of course, idling is not good for the environment.
So sorry that they got Covid. That’s awful! I hope they recover soon. That really screwed up celebrations!
Happy Anniversary to you and hubby!
Does the heater work well enough in a car in those temps? Does it get warm before arriving to your destination or does the car remain cold?
Here we have the opposite problem. On super hot days, the air conditioning won’t have time to cool off the car before arriving to our destination.
The bummer is that middle daughter and her husband tested positive for COVID this am. Their 5 1/2 year is with my ex and she has tested negative.
We are having a big joint family thing (both my and my ex's 20th anniversaries with our 2nd spouses) and all the kids were going to be there. Sigh.
My daughter’s friend had to travel for work this week and her flight home was cancelled. She has a three year old and the earliest that she can get back home to her family is the day after Christmas. She’s bummed 🙁.
I am glad that my daughter is past security and is now waiting for her plane to arrive. My daughter’s dog is going to be so happy to see her.
Yeah, that should read Cedar Rapids, not Grand Rapids. That was a typo. I hate autocorrect on my phone! Sometimes I don’t catch the typos before editing time is up.
Her flight has been delayed but is scheduled to take off. She should arrive in New Orleans around 8:00.
The previous flight that she booked that was going to stop in Chicago was canceled. Her current flight connects in Dallas before landing in Louisiana.
My daughter said, “The weather in Cedar Rapids is about -3 or 4! When I got in the car to drive to the gas station and return it with a full tank I thought my fingers would fall off from the cold!”
She is dressed warmly, gloves, jacket and hat on but it is incredibly cold there.
Thanks! She’s funny. She actually likes the cold weather but not as cold as in Iowa right now.
I said to her that I seriously hoped that she was joking because while I empathize about facing the freezing cold, it is a horrible idea! What if someone would decide to steal the rental car?
She laughed at my response but nothing surprises me about what people do these days anymore.
They have a blizzard warning. My darling southern daughter is not coping well with this extreme weather that is blowing through.
How long does it take for the heater to heat the car when it’s that cold?
.
I wish mine did, they want to find out what is at the bottom of that puddle
The stress of an accident is unbelievable, even when it is minor.
Hope the car is okay and it is only cosmetic.
Yes, dogs have a mind of their own with distinct personalities. I have had wonderful dogs. My little mini schnauzer was a handful though. Very stubborn!
My greyhound was the sweetest. The Boston terrier that we had as kids was a sweetie too.
I loved my cats too. I like hearing them purr. Such a soothing sound.
Now we are pet free but we have the granddog! 😊
