Good Morning, Loungettes!Happy Thirsty Thursday! I had such a great time last evening with the Wednesday, Women and Wine gals. We didn't got to a restaurant or bar like we usually do, we met at one of the member's house, sat and visited in the back yard around the fire pit. 7 of us ladies and 3 dogs. It was sooooo nice to see people with real faces, to talk about stuff other than COVID (although there was some talk about that, too, of course, it's been a major impact on all of our lives), to sit outside and bask in the sun until it went down (the temp was just perfect), and gab and gossip. Apparently I haven't been drinking as much lately, my first glass of wine went straight to my head! Not to worry, we met at 5:30, I had 3 glasses between then and about 7, and didn't leave for home until around 9.I cannot believe how much better I feel emotionally this morning, and how well I slept last night. We've got next month's get together set up at another member's home, we'll be visiting in her rose garden. August's meeting will be at yet another members home, on the porch. None of us are ready to go back to restaurants or bars just yet. We want to wait and see how things play out.We're a funny mix, about half are school teachers, and about half are nurses, with a smattering of a Real Estate agent, a Physical Therapy Program Director, a fund raiser working for the same university as the PT program director and who used to do Search and Rescue with her dog, who she brought with her. The homeowner member has 2 dogs, an older pug and a 7 month old Jamaican Rescue mix. Sadie had a grand time sniffing me all over when I got home last night!
Cammy Cat--I'm glad the headache went away, too.Many years ago I did get migraines, and I was a little afraid that headache was going to try to become a migraine, and very thankful it didn't.I really think it was a combination of dehydration, not enough caffeine, and readjusting to a normal schedule. I'm going to pay more attention to getting enough water going forward. I suspect Sadie will go swimming and I probably will too, if it really gets as hot as they say this weekend. Poor Marty, he must be feeling pretty miserable.
Goldie--I would think camping is going to be a quite safe activity. Mostly outside, easy to maintain social distancing, no need to go anywhere crowded. I think we all need some kind of break from all the COVID stuff. Glad you can finally get your medicine, that must be a worry off your mind. Have a good time!
Chi--It must be nice to be street legal again! Isn't it amazing how little routine errands have become little escapes?
Beaver--ah, wine and chocolate after a good meal, what luxury!

Mornin' ladies,
Oh Lori u always take beautiful pics cu ur beautiful, so no excuses. Well u should know today right about going camping. U REALLY seem like u need it so I hope all plans are set to go.
Before it was mostly just Sandy, now Beaver ur making me hungry too. Except when I look to find something to eat nothing in my house looks so good. Last nite I had jello and I srill didn't feel well, no just my stomach, But when I read what ur having YUMMY, yet all I want is jello at the time. LOL..
Sandy do u know of any of the restaurants that were fine by not opening correctly, they were mostly near north Chicago, well all they did was not seat people at proper distance I think But I saw a lot of people out eating on the news. It was likened to letting out the zoo and everyone came to the tables. The weather was nice so I can understand it.
Dan stopped by yesterday, I got so excited just seeing him. It was just for a couple of minutes but I haven't seen him in so long.
Leslie and Marty met with the lawyers for her breast case yesterday for the first time, not downtown tho, they asked her where it would be more convenient for her in one of their other offices so she went there, so they were gone for a while. So Joey helped me with my shower, oh it was fine he closes his eyes when I tell him and now he''s strong enough so I just grab onto him and I'm in a robe getting in and out so it's proper, as he says I did that for him, now it's his turn. His friends came over and he made dinner for them. He asked permission first, hahaha I'm fine with all that. It was his friend and his sister so they spent time here until my kids came home.I know I talk about him so much but he's so caring and considerate to me, I can't help it.And I can't wait til he gets his license so he can take me a couple of places <we already made a deal> I don't know why but u can turn 16 now and wait for a couple of months, wasn't a rule when I worked there at all.
See for me that was a full day, besides work. Weather is supposed to be warm and now it'll be time to figure out when to go swimming, I really can't wait.
I'll peruse later and maybe hop in.
LUBS U ALL

Cami,
I returned yesterday from a 3 week time out from the threads. I didn't know that Leslie has a breast case, but wish her well.
However, while skimming your prior posts read about the landlady......
Cami,
I posted the wrong pic and now replaced with the correct pic!!
I blame it on chemo brain!

Youngster rabbit up to no good

Cute!

Just poopin in here. JAZZY u couldn't stay away. LOL.
Teka I don't remember u telling us u were taking a break, MY POINT Jazzy told us so I don't worry about her, but after like 2 weeks I think I hope everything is going OK with Teka, We all seem to have a rhythm. So Lori tells us,and I didn't see Kim today <I don't think> so she'd better be here tomorrow. Sandy usually comes on at night and during the day it varies. Boy do I have time on my hands. I just want everyone to be all right.And then I was thinking, well I know where u live <not the house> but ur area, again which I know nothing about, do u have an accent. OK I know u wouldn't have one to you but would u have one to me.
OK I think I'm tired now, so I'm going to go to sleep, well try to anyway.

Mornin' ladies
Well I see no one has been around lately WTF is going on 2 people take a break and they're the only ones that stopped by. Am I being blocked or something??? Just remember and never forget one ay u'll be asked who was the most boring person u ever knew in ur life an that's where I come in for all of ur memories, and u'll miss me. Cuz there are a lot of boring people but I could win an award for that and I do know that.. And u'll all wonder who is she boring now mostly on a daily basis.
I will check back yjo, just in case.

Good Morning, Loungettes!Happy TGIF day! Sadie and I had a totally lazy day yesterday. Once it got really warm I just lounged on the deck until I started to burn and then inside with the fans going. Going to be another warm day today, but the humidity is going to go up, so I may have to turn on the AC in the bedroom tonite. Last nite Sadie and I slept in the living room withthe fan going. Weather has switched from below average to above average. Summer has moved in! Got errands to run this afternoon and a CPR class this evening, so I will be busy today. But then I have a 3 day weekend, cuz I'm working longer days Tues and Friday for inservices at work. Things are getting back to normal with that part of work, despite the ongoing COVID stuff. Sadie has been loving her pool, it's funny to watch her walk over to the pool, very deliberately step in, and then flop down with asplash!
Cammy Cat--If you are craving Jello you might be a little dehydrated.Jello counts as fluids. You may want to try to get a little more fluid (water, juice, tea, ice cream, popsicles, soda). I love hearing about you and Joey. He is becoming such a considerate and helpful young man. I had a bit of a giggle at the comment about being in a robe so it's "proper". So many people don't seem to care about dignity these days.
Teka--Love the ruffled feathers meme!
Jazzy--cute lil guy!
Cammy Cat--I'm here, I'm just running a little late yesterday and today.

I am going out to lunch today with a friend from work. We will eat at an outdoor restaurant with plenty of social distancing. After that, I need to get a Father’s Day card and a few odds and ends. It is warm here, but itwill be fun to be in and out. I will have my mask and sanitizer!!
I am planning a weekend in the mountains with my friends. We will drive to the cabin and stay there. I do not think there will be any problems. Covid cases are going up here. My MO said it would be fine as long as we take sensible precautions. I am excited about going somewhere and seeing my friends.
I cannot get the card group to think about getting together. One of them is in the hospital with pneumonia, but not Covid19. It can be difficult in the summer, but the virus makes everyone nervous.
Anyway, checking in Cami! I am almost finished with the cross stitch project. It looks nice. Once I get it framed, maybe I will post a picture. Time to get busy. Take care and find a way to have fun!!!!!

I was away from the "pewl" yesterday because I was watching law videos. 18+ hrs. down, <12 to go by the 30th. I got this!
Cami, the frustrating thing is that the city won't reveal the names of the businesses (especially restaurants) that were fined for violating reopening guidelines. Bars' (even those that don't sell food) outdoor seating opened Wednesday; a week from today, restaurants in the city will be allowed to have indoor dining at 25% capacity, with all the usual restrictions. (Some suburbs will be allowed to open indoors at 50%). But that's where I draw the line risk-wise: outdoor dining is as far as I'm willing to take it. I still do almost all my grocery shopping online, no matter how pricey (the worker gets a tip).
Last night we went to Cellars. There was a delightful lake breeze, and it was in the low 70s. My DOTD was cava. Tonight we're going to The Barn steakhouse in Evanston, and I'm going to have a flute of CA bubbly with my app. Their online wine menu mentions "Coravin" wines, not just the by-the-glass list. I think they just bring the bottle with the Coravin attached to it. I'm wondering how much the actual bottle is (after they remove the contraption), because I don't want to risk 2 full glasses and drive--and I have a Coravin at home.
I might hunt up a strawberry patch and go pickin' tomorrow, rain be da**ed.

Here in south central Texas, restaurants have been partially open long enough that several have had to close for sanitizing after employee(s) tested positive. Now I'm not comfortable ordering out, especially with the spikes in positive tests in the area!
Had reruns of the enchilada casserole tonight but not of the two glasses of wine. I had forgotten how much my tolerance for alcohol has changed since being on Tamoxifen. Ended up with a semi sleepless night and a draggy next day. Perhaps I'll remember better now?

At The Barn tonight with Bob, Gordy, & Leslie. DsOTD: with appetizer, Gruet Brut Rosé. With steak, 2013 Brassfield Pinot Noir (Lake County, CA).

Good Morning, Loungettes!Happy Saturday! Another hot and humid day shaping up here. I had a small CPR class last evening, a couple of nurses I used to work with at the old Hospice job, now working for a different Hospice agency. The old office is still losing nurses and staff at a steady rate, I gathered, and is going downhill pretty steadily, too. The new agency is growing steadily. Their office space is beautiful. It was great catching up with some old friends and colleagues.Silly Sadie is still in bed asleep this ayem, in the bedroom where the AC is on, on the clothes again. I spoke to her when I got up, she opened her eyes, looked at me and did the little tip of the tail wag that says "I know you are there and talking to me, but I am too comfy to get up right now. Luv you anyway." Silly doggo.
Librarian--I bet the lunch out with your friend was wonderful! How many friends are going to the mountain cabin? That sounds like fun, too. It's going to be hard getting some groups back together again, I think. I hope the card group will be able to eventually. It's still pretty scary.I would love to see a pic of the cross stitch project!
Chi--I would think that the businesses being fined by the city would be public info, just like all health inspections for businesses are.
Beaver--What I really wish would be happening is for the symptom status of people in businesses testing positive to be reported, too. It's looking more and more like the most contagious period is when symptoms start. If businesses are testing everyone, and the people testing positive are without symptoms at the time, risk of spread is less than if testing is done because of symptoms being present. At least, that is how the research is looking to me. Probably not enough difference to matter either way, though. I do think the closing for deep cleaning will be helpful in the long run, and not just for COVID but for a lot of other things, too.The state CDC and Emergency Management Office closed down for deep cleaning when a number of employees called in sick with respiratory symptoms, they all tested negative and during cleaning found the source of the infections in the air conditioning system.

Good Morning, Loungettes! Happy Sunday Funday! Looks like we aren't going to get a heat wave after all, today would be day 3 over 90 degrees and it's only supposed to get into the mid 80's. I should have turned the AC on in the house yesterday, Sadie and I got nothing done all day again, just too hot and sticky. Probably should have gone to the pond, but just didn't have the energy. A couple of really nice thunderstorms came through yesterday evening, though, so the humidity has cleared out a bit. Funny, got some VERY loud thunder and gusts of wind but no rain. I did tun the AC in the bedroom last night and the night before, so I slept well. Didn't get up until almost 8 ayem today! Looks like everyone is sleeping in or busy with things this weekend.
Thunder recipe
1 1/2 oz brandy
1 tsp powdered sugar
1 pinch cayenne peppers
1 egg yolk
Shake all ingredients with ice, strain into a cocktail glass, and serve. -

Good morning, all! Getting hot here again, but no storms yet. My DIL called Friday and told me she had gotten a Covid19 test. She has issues with her sinuses as well as asthma and had been feeling poorly. We are postponing Father’s Day until Tuesday when she will know the results. I am pretty sure she is fine, but will err on the side of caution. My friend in the hospital does not have Covid19. The doctor said double pneumonia. She is responding to the medications. I am taking my temperature daily as a way to “test myself”. If the temp ramps up, I will get a test.
Hope everyone has a great Father’s Day celebrating their Dads -
Mornin ladies,
Glad u gals checked in.
Oh JC I'm glad u r finally getting to go on ur mountain trip with ur friends. U've waited long enough. U sound so happy. And BTW after u frame ur project it is ur duty to send us a picture.
Kim Sadie could be a one dog show, she's such a howl. I LOL at everything she does. I still can't figure out ur schedule but sounds to me like u maybe are putting a couple of extra hrs. in. But far be it from me to mention that. U do love what ur doing tho and anyone who u help knows that.
Sandy ur really being adventurous, I know tho u r being cautious, which is what counts. Did I miss something why ur listening to this law thing. <I don't member what it was>, or just for you. U always seem to make me hungry. I would think Kim is right about letting the public know who might be contagious, well maybe it's better we don't know. This is still so scary to me way to much not known.
It is so nice to hear that things are opening up tho. JC u r so so ready for this.
Oh I just got a call from Jodie and she's coming by this morning but bringing one of her cousins along. She surprised her this weekend with her trip from aroun Washington DC. I'm so excited now she has always been another of my favs. I have a few LOL She was supposed to be surprising me too, but Jodie thought I' faint or something, but Les doesn't know. She's an attorney that is some sort of named person for FEMA <is that that right word> well one of those things so she works for the most part out of DC and travels to crazy countries, but hasn't lately
OK I've got to do something with my appearance, that's take hours.

Cami, all attorneys in IL have to certify every two years that they have taken 30 hours of mandatory continuing legal education (MCLE) courses--either in person or online--by June 30 of the reporting year. Surnames A-M have to report in even-numbered years, N-Z in odd-numbered years. What's confusing, though, is that we have till July 31 to report; and this year due to the pandemic, till July 31 to request an extension till Oct. if we were unable to complete the 30 hours by June 30. Confused yet? I took an extra course after midnight on July 1, 2018, hoping to carry it over--but because the CLE website was in the Pacific time zone the date on the Certificate of Completion was June 30. D'OH! Anyway, there are several online agencies (e.g., IICLE, Lawline, Apex) offering courses--but I've found Apex to be the least expensive and IL-specific. (Lawline has too many presenters in NYC and NJ, which is sometimes irrelevant; and costs twice as much. IICLE is the priciest, but offers live real-time courses individually during the year--but no longer in-person).
Went to Cellars for outdoor brunch today--DOTD was a rosé Cava.

Mornin ladies,
WOW talk about quiet. U must all be opening up to be in public again. Well around here the weather was at least good, hmmm a little to warm for me, sat out for a while but the sun was way to hot beaming for me.
Thanks Sandy, of course I never knew this...none of my lawyers never told me cuz we never talk about that stuff. But it does make sense.
My visit was great yesterday. She surprised Jodie for her BD coming in so that was wonderful. That was so thoughtful, once she really became an adult she started going on trips with Jodie and Nicky and over the yrs. they did get close. So she thought without Nicky here she would fly in and be with Jodie. Oh she's up for a job in the white house, of course that takes forever to figure out for them. so she's not holding her breath, but Joey got an invite to the inauguration this year. <so many kids from different states get them> so she's already planning that trip for him LOL and Les and Joe can stay with her. It hasn't been cancelled yet so we'll see.
We did order out yesterday and that was nice and ,very good. It was Italian. we almost always end up Italian, oh well but all in all it was a nice day.
Okey Dokey see ya latah.

Good Morning, Loungettes! Happy Monday Monkey day! I have today off, going in early tomorrow and Friday ayem for inservices, so I get an extra weekend day today. Yeah! I did get up close to normal time, though, so it won't be so hard tomorrow ayem. Sadie and I had a nice day yesterday, got some stuff done around the house under Sadie's expert supervision. Got to park on the deck for while, too. Still waiting for the deck rocker to be delivered, got to look into that today and see where it is. I did get one surprise yesterday.A garbage can had gotten pushed back under the kitchen table, I thought it was mostly empty. I finally got around to pulling it out yesterday, opened it up to check the contents, and found a hornet's nest! Not a very big one, but still! Well, that's been cleaned off, the can cleaned out and put back in to service. Probably explains why I've seen more hornets in the house than usual recently!
Cammy Cat--Hey, Lady, when I do silly work hours things I'll own up to it, but right now I am NOT doing funny work hour things! Last week I worked less than 28 hours. I did do a private CPR class, which took about an hour and earned me $50 plus a chance to catch up with some old colleagues. Yes, the hours this week will not be the regular Mon-Tue-Wed, but will still be only 24 hours, just on different days.So quit picking onme!What fun to have a surprise visitor! Do have a good time with each other!
Librarian--praying your DIL's test is negative. It's hard to keep in mind sometimes that there are all the usual illnesses still going on during all this. Good idea to postpone Father's Day celebrating, though. Glad your friend is free from COVID, too. Keep taking care of yourself.
Chi--ah, continuing education! I'm glad Maine doesn't require continuing ed to renew nursing licenses like many states do. Until recently it's been really hard to get any significant amount of continuing education without a lot of cost or travel, particularly at 0.25 to 0.50 hours at a time.

Kim, "more hornets IN THE HOUSE than usual?" OMG!!! I freak out when I see a bee or wasp inside once or twice a year! I guess there are upsides to urban living after all (even if the best of the upsides are unavailable during a pandemic).
Very strong downpours today, but the new garage power line is holding up like a champ. Bought my first gas since March 13--and I still had half of that tank left!
DOTD was a breve cappuccino when I got home from the ENT (she's finally seeing patients again). She confirmed that there is nothing wrong with my ears per se, my blood pressure, nor my carotid artery; but that because I have some mild-to-moderate high-frequency hearing loss on the same side as the pulsatile tinnitus, the cause could be sensorineural. So I have to get an MRI of my brain to see if there's anything impinging on my auditory nerve (it seems to get worse when I'm lying down). If the MRI turns out normal, then the next step is to see a neuro-ophthalmologist, who can peer past my optic nerve to check for excess or leaking cerebrospinal fluid. If that comes up empty too, then ear training and possibly a sleep study (to determine if I'm unknowingly grinding my teeth despite wearing a retainer) is the last resort. But I doubt bruxism is the issue, because sometimes if I'm up very late I can hear and feel the "rrhn-rhhn-rhhhn." It hasn't been too bad lately, because I've added CBN to my bedtime CBD and Xanax. (She is on board with that).
(Dined alone tonight--Bob ate at the office--so no wine). Might have some seltzer, though.

Good Morning, Loungettes!Happy Twofer Tuesday!Just a quick poop in before heading in for work this ayem. Listening to the news, bars were going to be able to open July 1st for indoor service now going to be delayed due to the spikes in COVID cases in other states traced back tothat setting in other states. Makes sense to me, bars are areas of close contact and people don't wear masks while drinking.That and the spikes being traced back to riots and large protest gatherings really paints the picture for the need for face coverings. Oh well, people will do what they want no matter what. Sadie says Hi to everyone.
Chi--yeah, I keep the kitchen door open with a hanging screen door so Sadie can go in and out as she pleases during the summer. The hanging screen door does a pretty good job of keeping out the skeeters, black flies and other bugs, but a few get through. I don't mind all that much, have to deal with the bugs when outside anyway, and a small price to pay to give Sadie the freedom to come and go, especially while I'm at work. Glad to hear the ENT was able to see you and it sounds like good news so far.

Heading out to run some errands today. I will have my mask and hand sanitizer. I am still amazed at how people do not wear masks or leave plenty of space between them. My DIL’s Covid19 test was negative. She has sinus trouble and I think let herself get upset about it. I am taking my temperature daily in an attempt to catch any infection early. I think that is slightly better than getting multiple tests.The kids are coming tonight for dinner and to celebrate Father’s Day. The rest of the week will be preparing to go to the mountains. We may go to a winery that has outdoor seating. I gotta go make a list so I get all my errands completed without any backtracking! Hope everyone has a magnificent Tuesday.

Mornin ladies,
hornets, HORNETS building a NEST, WTF. Kim I have to say I'm with Sandy on this one. I realize they r all over the place but I've always kept social distancing between us or at least trie to. I member when my dad tried to teach me how to catch those things if they were in the house and let them out so they could live <I told u he was a nature freak> I never did it tho cuz I couldn't get that close to them, LOL I can still hear him say they're not here to hurt you nature needs them ur not important to them. Yea he actually said those things. Anyway u r one brave woman. OK OK I'll back off of all work time of urs. Belly rubs for Sadie.
OMG Sandy what's this thread coming to, ur not even having a glass of wine at nite. This whole world is turning upside down. And a 1/2 tank of gas, WOW, that really is nothing. When do u start the tests r they all at the hospital??? Ithink my Dr. has started to open up and I still don't want to go to the office , I haven't left my house since the first day of this, I feel like this is a vulnerable time especially now. This is a terrible feeling.
JC what's going on with the testing???
