What's on your agenda for today?

OH AS I've just looked at your link..how pretty is that?...and sooo cheap too. Now if you can find me something as cheap as that, and as pretty but near the ocean in the USA I'll book myself a trip..I don't think PA is anywhere near water is it? :D
 

Ouch, Holly! Not something you want in addition to the other pain! Hope all your pains ease very soon.

I'll only go for antibiotics if it hangs on too long. Hubby is a bit worse than me. We're questioning whether it's flu as we haven't had a fever or muscle aches.
 
Thank you Annie, yes it's a double whammy with the pain ....and yes you're right it may not be flu you have particualrly as you both initially contracted it abroad, so it may be worth investigating a little further.. it's horrid to feel so poorly, there's always so much you want to get on with isn't there, and you just can't!!

I went to the gym Weds. then a really good muscle workout Thursday but it's been downhill since.

Antibiotics aren't needed I'm sure as whatever it is is a virus. No sinus infection or anything.
 
it was snowing again last night and the wife said good we can play puzzle if we are snowed in....with no place to go anyway looks like puzzle is on for the day....taxes done wed. and hardware-man comes out fri. and sat.

I didn't have the fever or body aches, but whatever is going around, hangs on forever. I took antibiotics and I still feel crappy after two weeks. I don't think its the flu, but these days, who knows?

We'll be paying with dollars so not terribly cheap ($204/night) but still a good deal for two bedrooms. All the rooms in this house are decorated differently and all are charming. No, not near the ocean but our destination is. Newport Rhode Island.

Antibiotics won't help if it's a virus. All we can do is tough it out. Fluids, healthy food. Maybe a mix of honey, hot water, lemon and whisky.
 
Oh it's lovely thanks AS...but it's a little old fashioned and overly priced for what it is IMO...perhaps if I was 70 it would suit me better..but thanks for looking very kind of you. :D
 
OOh that is glorious Annie...did you see that beautiful bathroom?..wow!! I also noticed that one of their bedrooms is very similar to one of yours that you posted on this forum...did you see it?..a;; duck egg blue and window seat, very pretty!!

I'm bookmarking that one..thank you.

I fully intend to visit the USA as soon as I can . definitely within the next 2 years , but it's a must that I find exactly the right place, because it'll be just a once in a lifetime trip...my back will only ever stand up to one long haul flight I think.. :D
 
Back to the subject you two; stop discussing holidays....I would be jealous , except I have already booked mine!
sun is shining; sky is blue; towels are drying outside; hope you are all beginning to feel better.....

I'd love to stay in one of those! Loved the blue one!
 
Took a look at the link for the Inn in Gettysburg, PA which I've driven past a number of times on the way to visit daughter and family. There are a good many excellent places to eat nearby. The link to the place in Newport was interesting, too. My cousin, Leslee, lives quite near to Newport - her place is close to water and about once a year her basement gets flooded. It's a nice area though. I would love to spend some time on Nantucket or Martha's Vineyard. Guess what! The inn you said was more appropriate for folks over 70 really isn't all that cute. I ought to know because I'm 70+! Am I too ancient for this forum?

My husband and I stayed in Gettysburg in 2010 and really enjoyed it, despite it being January and bitter cold. So mid-Sept. should be really nice. Many good restaurants within walking distance of the B & B - same one we stayed at before.

My brother has lived in Newport about 30 years. Loves it. I've never been, neither has my sister or husband. I've been wanting to go back to visit Boston etc for years to mainly see historic sites. Lived there from age 5-8.

As for accommodation appealing to someone over 70, it wasn't me that wrote that. I misread the comment as meaning price. Anyway, I prefer old-fashioned furniture, decor and homes and always have. Won't be staying in either of the places I listed, but want either cheaper or my brother's house - free!

As for too ancient for this forum....hardly! I'm about to turn 63, and I believe our oldest member is 90, with several in their 80's.
 
It was me that wrote about the ''70'' thing, it wasn't meant to be disparaging about anyone's age , it was just a comment saying that I thought the B&B that AS showed was lovely, but for me personally I need something with a little more going on at my age ( 50's)...but probably in a decade or so I would appreciate that lovely quiet holiday accommodation setting more.

Gotcha. :)
 
AS and Holly - Sorry I came across as overly sensitive about age but that's because I am overly sensitive about aging. It's something that scares the daylights out of me but I should try harder to get a grip. As each year passes, it becomes harder to accept time racing by. Above all else, it's great that you are both filling your lives full of fun and adventure. Your ability to do that is a wonderful gift!

Today I swept up a ton of dog fur and then took Suki the dog to her beauty salon to get her hair and nails done. After that we watched the movie Dirty Dancing - I love the music in that movie so dog and I danced too. Music is so magical!

Understand. No problem. :)
 
Accch no problem Kath think nothing of it, ...but at the moment ...I wish I could fill my life with fun and adventure with this back problem going on...it would be nice just to be able to go to work at least.. LOL :D
 
Hi, kids...all this talk of holidays and vacations and B&Bs! I wanna go, too. Waaaaaaaaaaa:(

Easy day today but I had to be out the door at the butt crack of dawn to get my car to the shop so my daughter could drop me at the client's house, just a mile down the road. When I was done, she hauled me back to the shop to pick up my car. You won't believe it, but I can swear that when I got there, little red Forester was sitting outside all ready to go and smiling. Really. Would I tell and untruth? LOL

Anyway, if the Lord's willing and the creeks don't rise, as we used to say in Texas, she's well now and will stay that way long enough for my pocketbook to recover.

Another easy day tomorrow. And the next day. Yay.

So glad that we got our yard cleaned up over the weekend because its raining and getting colder almost by the minute. By next weekend? OMG! Our high temp on Sunday is projected to be 38F. Yes. I know it's still winter, but that doesn't me I have to like it, dammit!

Hollydolly, take care of that back. Pain isn't good. Mostly, it's...wait for it...painful!
