  1. Merry Christmas! Hope you all have a safe new year.

    Youngest son and grandaughter come over for Christmas eve dinner. Tested her for Covid as she is not vaccinated. She passed. They will be over again today for opening gifts. Her father and my husband and I are vaccinated and boosted.

    My husband gave me a large savings bond and plans on another. Also some games books. I gave him a Fitbit and a few other gifts. Poor dog didnt get anything but a neighbor gave her an uggs dog toy.

  2. Hope everyone is doing well. Finally done with Christmas cards and Christmas shopping. Except for my husband but at least I can shop until the last minute for him. 

    Having a bathroom remodeled and all day today the dog was barking like crazy. I put on a barking collar that vibrates and buzzes when she barks but she looked so sad I couldn't leave it on for long. 

    Missing wrap for inclusion again this year, so I will make a donation. I have wrapped since 2003 so it was a tradition.

  3. The shooter, a student, was finally caught. He ruined so many lives with that gun.

    Ldyj, I won't be going to Raleigh for the events as the person who brought meals and generally checked on my husband is having hip replacement and asked me to help her. My husband no longer drives and needs help preparing his meals  of the time. He has a loose knee replacement but due to his health is no longer eligible for another replacement. His knee gives out and he falls and needs help getting up . he is too heavy for me to lift him so we have become friends with the Fire Dept and EMS.

    If there is another Gala, I may drive and come back the same day.

  4. So sorry merrieee, mlk congrats on the new job.

    I got caught on a road at noon today with at least 50 police and sheriff vehicles along with a swat car, ambulances, fire engine. Eventually I got up to where they were turning and the road was blocked at the high school near me. I saw the news had gotten there so turned on the TV when I got home. Several students got into a fight and one was shot and killed. Appears that it was gang related. The shooter escaped and is still at large.  They warned us to lock our doors tonight. Our police chief cried at the press conference when talking about meeting the boys mom. We have to do something about guns. Covid is bad but guns are despicable.

  5. My sister had tickets but couldn't go at the last minute due to a medical condition. She was really bummed about it. That's why I didn't get tickets to the karaoke event despite it being an hour and a half away. Although I am thinking about having someone stay with husband and just going for the event. He owes me a bithday gift so I'm sure he would pay for the event.

    Swapping computers and really don't want to download on my new one. So haven't listened to the show.

  6. Have fun Mik4clay. Hope the weather is nice.

    We are planning to get our 2 baths redone. Not every single thing as we have replaced light fixtures, towel racks, toilets, mirrors and the floor in the small bath. I did choke at the price for the master bath at 30k and thats with vinyl flooring and keeping the vanity. I may be old fashioned but why would anyone need a 5x8 foot shower? And no tub. 

     

  7. Living in NC, I can understand sniffling.  I don't think I have any allergies but boy am I ever sensitive to that pollen and right now we are knee deep in it. In our community the streets are cleaned once a week but walking the dog outside of it is a total mess. The trees and flowers are beautiful but it comes at a price.

    I was sorry to hear that Wrapping for Inclusion will be ending but it is something else to find help. Last year was the first year I missed wrapping since 2003. Some years more some years less. The pandemic certainly had a major effect on all of us. Tomorrow 15 or so of us are going inside a restaurant to eat. we all were vaccinated so hope its a start to becoming more normal.

  8. Hate that I have fallen so far behind in hearing these podcasts. Great to hear that so many have started getting their Covid shots. Now that I have had mine and subsequently had my haircut and rehired our house cleaner back , I may actually start having a life.  We are talking about playing bridge and scheduling a few parties for later this year.

    Hoping I can get to the Gala later this year if they can schedule one.

  9. Lost the first post. Clay is a great cartoon character as well as a great puppet voice as in Celebrity Apprentice.

    We both finished our vaccinations last month so have been catching up on Dr and Dentist appointments. To add to it my husband fell and cracked his head. Called EMS since I cant lift him. They took him to the hospital for a cat scan. As usual his hard head prevented any serious injuries. Just a huge hematoma on his head and a black eye. 

    I finally got a haircut after a year. Looks and feels great. Makes me feel that a normal life is in the not too distant future. Hopefully I can make it to the Gala again.

  10. I may look into the keto diet. Lately I hate the thought of any kind of meat. But I'd be happy to lose a few pounds.

    Good news for those getting their first vaccine. Next week I'll be getting my second shot. But I have been in a covid study answering questions everyday since April or so last year. They recently sent me six antibody tests which I'll have to do once a month for six months. I completed the first one yesterday and the results came back today. I already have antibodies to protect me from the virus, lgG. They did a study with monkeys and even a small amount of these antibodies protected the monkeys from getting covid.  

    Hope you all get your vaccine soon.

  11. I ran into a neighbor today and mentioned what a beautiful day it was. She said yes, it is so much warmer. I said  no, it's a beautiful day. It finally dawned on her what I meant and she agreed. There was something warm and hopeful about today. I especially hope the name calling will be at a minimum. It is so childish. 

    Another good thing happened today, I got a date set for my second Coronavirus vaccination. We will all get there eventually.

    Love your comment on the dress merrieeee.
