Sigh! We’ve both been feeling ill. Tested positive for COVID yesterday, so we are at home in quarantine.

Lots of us have been there. Rest, take OTC meds as needed, keep a careful eye on your temperatures and O2 readings. If you don't already have an oximeter, please get one immediately. They're widely available on line and run about $25.

Good for you. Watching a wood fire and enjoying the smell is great for a few hours, but it gets old pretty fast. We had a big ice storm here in Jan a few years ago that took out all of our power and block all roads for 5 days. I heated the house with wood and did all of the cooking in pots hung from a chain inside the fireplace. We stayed warm and ate well, but I sure got tired of dragging in firewood from the back of our lot.

It is Field Day Friday today, and I am taking a snack break from running the vacuum upstairs. I have the downstairs to vacuum next and the main bathroom after that. This housekeeping man's work is almost done for the day. My wife still does a bigger share of the work and fixes a nice dinner to boot. I come out way ahead in this deal, and I am wise enough to know it.

I think i'm just seeing this! You are such a good man and good husband! Helen sure is lucky. :D
 
Will be heading out to pick up an Rx, drop off a package for GS, maybe wash the kitchen floor. Right now, about to take doggie on her walk in our woods.

It's going to be c-c-c-old starting tomorrow night and a slight chance of 6 inches of snow over Mon and Tues.

If so, son will come over to shovel a circle for doggie on the lawn while she's tethered to the deck to pee, and I pick up the other with plastic bags. Or, if worse came to worse, doggie will use puppypads upstairs. She doesn't like to, but she will if she must.

My sleep schedule has flipped. I took a too long nap late afternoon yesterday, got up around 11 p.m. It's now 2:37 p.m. next day and I've been up all night. I made the two before dawn prayers, finally tackled the studio room, cleared out the papers that piled up and put away other items I'd plopped in there. I disinfected the totes I used lately and treated two leather purses with leather balm.

I wrote notes for a thank you card and a birthday card then walked over to the post office. I also continued working on the article I'm writing as well as catching up with my social networking.

You got a lot done Diva. You'll sleep well tonight! :)

How did you train your dog to use those? Ours crunched them up into a ball and peed next to them so we gave up. I eventually moved to belly bands and sanitary napkins for when we weren't going to be home and couldn't take her along.
 
Took the storage boxes from my attic over to my DD's rental house... and on the way I stopped off at one of the few non essential hardware stores which are allowed to open because they sell a tiny stock of food... ( all food shops can remain open )... and bought several more 100 ltr storage bins with lids so she can keep mine, and not be concerned they'll get damaged in the move.. It's the first time I've actually been shopping by myself since my fall

The supermarket is right next door to the hardware store.. so I bought 3 bags of groceries.. and... they had a clothing sale on, so I bought 3 shirts....for 1/2 price... :D

the car was stuffed full to the roof with stuff for DD so it was hard to get all the groceries in but I did, and it was just starting to get dark, as I made my way over to hers.. and the rain started...

My drapes arrived by courier while I was out and because I have a ring video door bell I was able to tell him where to leave the parcel... the poor driver, he jumped out of his skin when I spoke to him, because it was dark by then and he probably didn't even see the video bell as he approached the door ... :ROFLMAO:

...it's 8.40pm now, and I've just had my dinner of Scallops, & Prawns in a lobster , cream and parsley sauce...
 
Got a notice from Amazon that someone, on a Mac computer in Utah, tried to access my account. Did I want to allow this? Hmm, no, no I don’t. I don’t need help spending money on my account.

Amazon shut my account down, I know cause I tried to access it, got another email. Someone has tried to access your account from 😲your computer. Would you like to allow this? Yes, yes cause that would be me. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Allowed access to my account from Amazon I changed my simple to remember and use password to a new password. Then I texted my son and explained what happened, twice. You probably did it wrong, mom. Let me check. Give me the new password. 🙄

He accesses my account from his computer. Message from amazon, oh good lord, someone is trying to access your account, yup, allow or deny, allow. My son checks everything, I guess, it’s ok mom. But do not do that again.

What? I did it right. Well, next time, ask me first. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Whatever. 🤬

You probably hit the nail on the head when you said your previous password was simple and easy to remember. My AMZ password is unique, over 20 characters, has capital & lowercase letters plus numbers, and is tied to a complicated, unique email address. Plus to sign into AMZ, I have to enter codes on my phone.

The idea is to not be low-hanging fruit to hackers.

Well...the housework is gonna hafta wait till tomorrow. Myself and another anxiety riddled coworker visited the relaxation room at work. We had chocolate and sat in a massage chair in a dark room with salt lamps and fake candles and listened to a machine playing a crackling fire and now I'm loathe to disturb that peace. LOL

Well not done too much today... apart from the usual chores.

Took down the drapes in one room, and hung new ones, blackout , thermal ..they look really much nicer than I expected

( did I tell you hubs bought me a bottle Calvin Klein Eternity , the other day because I'd run out ?)... bless him, I didn't have the heart to tell him I had 6 other perfumes... 🤫

..today I bought him aftershave /perfume.. which he always struggles with knowing what he likes, so I got him 2 different brands he's not tried before.. ( he usually wears Paco rabanne)

I also got him a new Body warmer to wear when he's down in the Barn...

Just had my lunch...smoked trout on grilled Potato waffle... :giggle:
