Happy Saturday
View attachment 500203

@Kaila - Sorry you arent feeling good.
I hope you are all snuggly with your heating pads on. The birds must love you; making sure they are fed.

@CallMeKate - I sincerely hope you feel better soon. Maybe give the pole dancing a rest for a bit. ;)

@Pam - it’s great that your son & grandson came to visit you. It’s good to learn that he dusts all the places you can’t reach. It’s also great to know that Rocco’s doing well.

@Medusa - Ok! You’ve already told us your sore throat was self induced. Thanks for the afternoon coffee. I will need the decaffeinated one or I won’t sleep.

@MarciKS - I hope you are enjoying your time off of work and that the shot in your finger works well. Is it a cortisone shot?

To - ALL others reading this thread. I hope your have a fabulous weekend!

PP's advice to @CallMeKate
😁😅🤣😂
 
@Medusa
It's definitely fun, when a team we're rooting for, does something special!😃

But sheesh.... you must have yelled more than, YES! or Go Team!
To end up with a sore throat. 😁😄😆😉😊☺️

I actually like honey in my coffee, at times.
And it's soothing, Believe me.
☕️🍯

At least the amount i put in, is soothing.😁
🍯🍯🍯

It might be an acquired taste; I don't know.
And I don't remember back that far. 😄🥰

Aw, thanks, Kaila! 🤗 It wasn't an actual sore throat though, just that I noticed it a little right after yelling, "YES!!! WooHOO!! There it is!!!" Or something similar. Oh, and, "Let's go home, baby!!!" 🤣 I remember that. But you know, I didn't actually end up with a proper (my English boyfriend influencing me there) sore throat.

I'm going to save your honey in the coffee idea though for future needs. 🥰🥰
 
Good Morning, Kaila & Friends! Not sure what I will be doing today. Coffee for sure which is what I am doing right now. I usually do my laundry on Sunday but they removed all the machines from our laundry room. This coming week the new ones will be installed.......I hope!

Hope you all have a lovely Sunday!
 
Good afternoon everyone. Well, I decided to go and see the St George's Day Parade..... I shouldn't have wasted my time! I walked to the church so I could see the procession arrive plus it is nearer than walking to the starting point. They were led by a Scottish Piper in his kilt etc. - yes, for a St. George's Day parade. 🙄He was followed by some cadets from the forces and the only flags in sight were one Union Flag (British not English) and regimental flags. Yet, in another town just 12 miles away they had big celebrations with a play depicting George killing the dragon etc. and lots of other things going on. Next year I'll go there. :cool:

I walked home and was exhausted when I got in and it's not a long distance by any means but my back was sore. So I got something to eat, lay down on the settee to unwind and fell asleep. Still sore so I've taken a couple of painkillers, should kick in soon.

Enough of me moaning, I hope you @CallMeKate are feeling a lot better today. 🫂

Just seen your post @Kaila and so sorry you are still struggling. Big hugs to you too. 🫂

I'm now going back to the settee and tele watching. I should be in a better mood next time I post.😁

You don't need to be in a better mood, the next time you post, Pam. 🥰
And definitely do not be waiting for it, if it doesn't cooperate and arrive as soon as we'd all like for you!:giggle::sneaky:😉😄☺️

The play you described, wherein George slays the dragon does sound like fun;
I'm sorry that your local parade was not up to par, this year. Especially since you stretched your physical limits, to go there, and wait thru it, as it was. 😖

And then, you have the aftermath from doing so. :confused:
🤗
 
It's early afternoon, here, and I'm doing a little bit better than I was, this morning.
I managed to do a few basic tasks, and have the small sense of accomplishment, that comes from doing something, even if it's not very much at all!:rolleyes:;):sneaky::giggle:

Saw bluebirds at the window feeder, today, and 1 red-winged blackbird, and some possibly white-headed sparrows, I think they might be called.?:unsure:☺️

I hope today finds everyone in the Kfam doing well. We are getting a storm at the moment. I am getting ready to watch my church service and have some breakfast. I have leftover gluten free pizza from Dominos in the fridge for later. If the weather settles down I plan to do some gaming.​
 
Good Afternoon, Kaila and Friends. 🤗 :coffee: 🌷

Son is taking the 3rd and 4th Lucius walks so I am blissfully finished with my walks today. ☺️ My son would take them on all the days, but usually I want the extra exercise and affirmation/meditation time. I've been tired lately though and my hips are hurting so, I'm very glad for the rest.

I noticed that the mint (spearmint by the back doors and peppermint by the deck) is growing again and I brought a sprig in with me, when bringing Lucius in from 2nd walk. It just smells so nice.

@Kaila, glad you're feeling a bit better than this morning and you saw some lovely birds today. ☺️

@CallMeKate, hope you're on the mend. 🤒 🤗

@Pam, sorry about your not-so-great parade. :/ Boyfriend was telling me about not being able to display the English flag, which understandably bothers him; he is a proud Englishman 🥰. Hopefully, next year you'll both be able to enjoy better festivities. ☺️

@MarciKS, hope your hand is feeling better.

Everyone on this wonderful, peaceful thread: have a pleasant Sunday afternoon. 🥕🥕🥕

Happy afternoon, Kaila & Gang. It's so nice to come here and read what you all are up to, and how your day is going. 🤗

I'm fiercely fighting this bug and I think most of these things last like a week to 10 days, so sometime in the upcoming week I should start feeling better.

So what are you all having for supper/dinner? It's going to be meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and creamed corn for me. Meatloaf is my all-time favorite comfort food, so maybe it will heal me. ☺️

Those are wonderful Monday morning posts!😀
Thank you both for those hopes and for those valuable reminders ❣️❣️❣️

And for the encouragement, which i will take with me, to go outdoors, and for the short drive to pickup the grocery order.
Delivery costs so much more, that i wait till a day when I can manage it.
This is the day.
(It waited long enough!😉😁😄)

I think I'm making beef fried rice with eggrolls.

For $98 a year I have Walmart plus. Free delivery and free shipping all the time plus Paramount plus essentials for free. I save anywhere from $200 to $400 a year on just groceries alone.

That's definitely a good deal.
For us, though, We haven't wanted to switch from the places we shop, at least not yet at this point.
 
Good Afternoon, Kaila and Friends. 🤗 :coffee: 🌷

I have done most of my dailies and just finished the afternoon Lucius walk, a bit ago. Husband is off today and taking the early evening walk so, I am off for the rest of the day! Woot! I'm thinking I might get on the treadmill for 15/20 minutes to replace the third walk. And that's very likely all I'm going to do, think about it. 😅

I've got about two hours before I need to make myself dinner (I eat different foods at different times from my guys), have dinner, shower and then settle with husband to watch hockey. --Why I'm giving you guys my schedule, I don't know. 🤔😅

Right now, boyfriend is hanging out with me whilst I catch up with you lovelies, play AC and watch... I'm not sure yet what, if anything.

@Kaila, so glad to learn that you are feeling a bit better today! Nice that you got outside too. Have a good nap. 😊

I couldn't agree more! ☺️


@CallMeKate, thinking of you and hoping you're on the mend.

Wishing everyone on this wonderful thread a nice Monday afternoon.

How does that work with the driver tip, Marci? That's what has always stopped me from getting the Plus. I see drivers complaining on FB all the time about the customers who don't tip enough. Seems that if it's under $15 or $20, they get all bent out of shape. I could buy a few more meals with that. If Plus would be "no tips" I'd do it. (Is it?!) I'm always a big tipper at places, but I'm not giving $20 extra for someone to drive $30 worth of stuff to me.

Aw, thank you! I think I've turned the corner... still stuffy and tickly throat, but fever is down and the constant sneezing has all but stopped. Fatigue is present, but improving as well.

I'm glad to hear you two kids got outside today, Kaila... wonderful! I hope the nap refreshes you even more!

Hawkie, is your area expecting still more storms? Sure hope not! 🥺 @hawkdon
