Thank you again my friends. I told my DH that this was tearing me down, especially his depression and crying all the time. Doctor doesn't want to put him on more drugs and suggested counseling. Took him off of the opioid constipation drug, he thinks that is causing the dizziness and nausea and suggested smooth move tea. So we started on that last night.
Cami, what surgery was Marty supposed to have?
NM, I do hope you get your vacay. But you did say you were going to walk if they say no, right? Give your 2 weeks.
Jazzy, I thought the hair loss was from the drugs in the beginning, but I've been on it for a year. That is why I was questioning the stress.
Sandy, sorry about the path report, or should I say the lack there of!
DOTD:

Mornin' ladies,
Sandy if u feel ok getting a pedi it must be ok. I know u watch very carefully what u do and don't do. How r Gordy and Leslie doing???
JAZZY DID U TAKE THAT PIC,??? How exciting. I'm sure working from home is another whole thing to get used to and I know u don't work less from home, like u think u would. Sometimes it's for a little longer day. Sounds like it's easier but I don't think it is.
Lori leave it to u to find time to post the glitter thing. I just thought it was so what's happening. How r u doing??? I'm sure it can't be much better, just sending prayers and hugs to you. And I agree with Jazzy it's like a bad dream but taking forever to stop. Lori I am glad to hear about ur son.
Ah Kim now I get it. Well if anyone should be a part of this it's you for sure.I honestly think no one is as equiped to handle the whole project and then some. Souns like a good idea and hoping everyone participates equally so it runs the way it's expected.
My puter is better, Joey came in an touched something and changed the screen. I'm not bragging <on this one> but these kids know everything with the puter, but it makes me wonder as they get older how will their social skills be or other ones. All they do is text or email do they even know how to look people in their eyes if they can have a conversation without fingers being used, that's all they know now.
Well Marty's mom and sister have covid. His mom is one who goes to bars on weekends <no masks> as does his sister. All with about 6 or 8 women. I told u Leslie bowed out a while ago and they thought she was being chickeny. There's where the glitter comes in. Les can't say a word and it really bothers her. So far they're home <Marty's sister lives with his mom> but I would think all of them would do the 14 day thing, but they are all goofy. Noone here has seen them in a while so that's good and Marty's mom is my age but in good shape, no illness things or anything going around her. Ever since they found out Les is Bi-Polor they think she's goofy an treat her that way, so it's hard for her <and me> to extend true sympathy. This has been going on since Joey was born when Les spent months in the hospital. They honestly think she makes up the jobs she has or knows the people she knows. They give their eye rolls. Really we don't want them to be sick but it's hard to express much sympathy when even Les expressed her concern about their going to bars maskless.
JC anything going on this weekend. I know u r careful with who ur with and also u r a very active person so u try to keep things as normal as they can be.
Celia, Beaver, Illi , Minus, Jane how are all of u doing with this nitemare starting all over. Oh if I forgot anyone I certainly don't mean to.
Happy Friday eve everyone.

Have a great day.

Good Morning, Loungettes!Happy Thirsty Thursday! Sun is shining, 18 degrees, blue sky, no breeze. Frost on the ground and ice on any standing water. Winter is knocking on the door! I treated myself to a take out from Olive Garden after work yesterday. Ate the chicken alfredo and Black Tie Mousse Cake for dinner. Boy, logging those meals does a job on the calorie count for the day! Will have the soup and bread sticks for lunch today. Love the food there, but have to limit it to once every 2 or 3 months, for the sodium load if not for the calorie count. Makes it a great treat, though.
I'm on call for work this weekend, supposedly the staffing is pretty well set and I shouldn't have to work, but we will see. I did bring home the project stuff and will work on that over the weekend if I'm not playing nurse, med tech, or C.N.A. The visitation restrictions are causing huge problems now. Family members are beginning to demand to be allowed to visit without restrictions or in spite of they themselves representing a covid risk to their own loved one! It's amazing to me how many people are trying to get around the visitation rules. And the newest trend is families planning to take residents out of the nursing home and into their own homes for the day or for several days for the holidays. Scary thing is that we can't stop this from happening, and you know what is going to happen when those residents come back to the nursing homes after the holidays.
Sadie was a real cuddle bug last night and this morning. It is so relaxing to cuddle up next to her and rub her belly. She is so kind to me to put up with me doing that all the time!
Cammy Cat--that is true about the glitter! That's one of the things I use when talking about hand washing. I put glitter in hand sanitizer, have people clean their hands, andyou can see where they do and don't clean. Then I have them clean their hands again, and see how much glitter is left. And then I tell people to watch for the glitter for the rest of the shift, and see where it goes. People are amazed to find glitter on their face, clothes, underwear, and on pens and papers. Housekeeping doesn't like when I do that, though.
Jazzy--Health care is headed for a major staffing crisis. More and more workers are leaving their current jobs and many are leaving health care. Between crappy work situations and not being able to work in more than one building many C.N.As can't get enough work to make it, or are getting worked to death with overtime due to not enough backup staff. I have a plan to put in my notice 2 weeks before my vacation time if I don't get an answer before that. I haven't said anything about it at work, since things are ramping up again covid -wise, and the trip to Las Vegas may have to be rescheduled. Actually, rescheduled is not the right word, nothing is actually scheduled or booked yet, waiting on developments. Like you said, pivot, pivot and pivot again! It is going to be a horrible winter, that's for sure. I keep an eye on the CDC tracking of flu and other infectious diseases, and just noticed that for the 2020-2021 season hospitals do not have to report flu and flu-like illnesses! So Maine's currently showing zero cases of confirmed flu despite there being a dozen or so positive flu test results being reported! Labs are still reporting positive flu test results. So we know this will be a good flu year statistically, cuz we ain't counting!
Chi--Glad to hear ruthbru is getting better. It is absolutely terrifying how easily covid can get to anyone, even those who are doing everything "right".People just do not understand thatthey have been contagious for at least 2 days by the time they have any symptoms. I keep answering "but I'm not sick, I feel fine" with "can you guarantee that you will still be feeling fine day after tomorrow? If you get symptoms day after tomorrow, you are contagious NOW".It's not like we can turn off our lives entirely. Despite being at risk for severe disease myself, I'm at the point where I just want to catch the damned virus and get it over with, not to mention get some time off work. Great news about the melanoma!
Goldie--poor DH. I hope he feels better soon. This is getting to be too much for both of you. I requested vacay time starting Jan 25th. I'll put in my resignation on the 11th if she says 'no' (without covid putting everything into shutdown) or hasn't answered. Or sooner if something crazy happens or I find something really good.
Love the Thanksgiving's a Breeze Seabreeze!
Cammy Cat--sorry to hear Marty's mom and sister caught covid, but can't say I'm surprised. I also pray they don't get seriously ill. Glad Les stopped going out with them. It's sad the way some people look at mental illness as a reason to treat people badly. I know how tempting and satisfying it can be to say "I told you so!" but it so often creates more problems, so staying quiet is probably better, and just saying "I told you so!" in your mind is better.
Evil Old Bird, here!
Morning, Evil Old Peckerette!

Well, I am a Kooky Gobler! Sounds about right. DH and I spent four hours yesterday raking the backyard. The weather was delightful, but the leaves were deep. The pile for pickup is huge. I cannot get the picture to post.
I am going to the mountains over the weekend. We will stay there to eat, drink and socialize. The weather is supposed to be gorgeous. I really want to visit with my friends and have civil discussions about current events, their jobs and various friends. It takes all my patience to have conversations with my DH. Our views are so very different anymore.
Goldie - I am so sorry for you and your DH. He sounds very miserable, not to mention how verystressful this is for you. We are all supporting you and here for you to vent, ask questions or seek solace.
Everyone take care when it comes to Covid. Our % positive has been over 15% for several days. The hospitals are not full, but headed that way. I do still go out some for groceries and have the kids over, but do the three W’s. Wash hands, wear a mask and stay away from strangers. Not a W, but it works!
Take care!
-
Kooky old bird, ha!

-
Love it Jazzy. Perfect thought to start the day.
-
Kooky Big Tom here, joining karen1956 in the gender question.
Haven't had my coffee yet so mind isn't awake. Back later.
-
Going to Cellars tonight, as they've reopened the patio temporarily due to unseasonably mild temps. (Still will wear a leather jacket and clip my hair up, of course--as I did this aft. when I sat out on our deck sipping a cappuccino & chatting with neighbors two houses away--had to shout due to workmen across the alley making noise). Not sure what to drink--whatever will go with what we eat.
T'day eve will likely be rainy and about 50F--so drinks & dessert will be on the covered front porch, not the deck. Bob, Gordy & Leslie will be able to sit 6' apart and I will be in the doorway. Abt is totally sold out of patio heaters of any kind--and if we were to get a firepit it'd have to be gas-burning, with a fireproof pad beneath, since our deck is wood. Either that, or set it on the concrete path to the garage and we'd put chairs on the lawn. Our next-door neighbors presciently opted for a brick patio rather than a deck.
-
Well, it is much later. No really good reason, just one of those days killed with a little of this and that!
The CDC announcement today advising no travel for Thanksgiving reinforces what DH and I had already told our our sons-- no family gathering at our house for Turkey day this year. Don't know about Christmas but that may be the same since we both will be in our 80s by then and both are on meds for blood pressure and cholesterol.
We will just have to enjoy the wine by ourselves! Had a California Sangeovese last evening with pizza. Tried a new frozen crust for the pizza. The pizza was unimpressive but the wine was very good!
Take care and stay safe everyone. The covid-19 numbers are looking very scary!
-
Aargh I meant day filled!

With salmon, had an Honoro Vera 2019 Garnacha from Spain.

Off to more doctor appts. this morning. Yesterday was actually a pretty good day for DH. Just a little dizzy and started back on his exercises. I forgot to mention that when we went to the doctors the other day, our doctor came in just to see Darrell and said if we needed him to come out to the house to just let him know!
Karen/Beaver, agree with the male gender names, but NM fixed you up Karen. LOL'd at Peckerette! Beaver, not sure how to fix "Tom".
Jazzy, loved the meme. Here's another.
-
-
Mornin ladies from Loving Old Pecker,
Lori glad Darrell is a bit better, hopefully the good starts now. An that's the way to leave homesnowadays. I mean no one will notice.
Nice way to start the day Jazzy, everyday.
Sandy it did warm up so good for you. Food and wine are mahvelous darlink.
Karen good name LOL, u know it's nice seeing u back here.
Beaver u were all over the place yesterday. Ur plans sound good.
Kim hope ur weekend goes as u planned. And I see u have ur plans all set, good for you. And u know I agree about cuddling with Sadie, it has to be so relaxing, our "pets" are so good to us. Extra belly rubs for Sadie.
We have TG figured out now <hopefully> We decied to order a dinner from one of the frocery stores with a few add ons. <very few> But for the day Marty will bring all the decorations down <attic> to put everything up, cuz Les said let's decorste like nothing is wrong. Then after dinner we'll all watch a movie together, but not Chirstmas. Between Action and horror, hey that's the kind of family we are. I'm not allowed to just stay in my room an I have to eat food I like at least. So I'm the one with rules. Jod might come over if she doesn't feel nervous about it IDK. But of course it would be more fun with her, she is a lot of fun but FF oy vey is not. It would be great for Joey if my GD came but now with a boyfriend it changes everything. And Les is so happy about not going to her in-laws she's running with this idea. So I pray everything goes accordingly.
Today I'm planning to take one of the boxes and pack away all my summer clothes. That's kind of an all ay long thing with me but I have no room in here, that'll help. All right it might take 2 days My phone is starting so I have to get to work.
Hoping all have a great day.

Oops, I misread, I’m not kooky old bird, I’m fat old bird, lol

Good Morning, Loungettes!Happy TGIF day! I'm not moving too fast but I am getting some stuff done, follow up phone call about the garage door work (never heard from them after they came and did measurements), getting some work done on the Jeep, ordering contacts, that sort of thing. At least I'm getting something done, right? Even if it isn't housework.
Sadie is having a great time getting underfoot every time I get up from the computer to do something. Not sure why she's being like this today, usually she follows me around, today she's staying in front of me. I wonder what that means? I guess I'll find out eventually.
Librarian--I hope your weekend trip is revitalizing and fun! I like the 3 W's, even if the last one is only sorta a W!
Morning, Kooky Old Bird!
Jazzy--LOL!I resemble that remark!
Morning, Minus, Kooky Big Thomasina!
Chi--The Gov here has put a 9 peeyem closing time on all businesses that sell food and drink to discourage large groups from congregating for long times. I'm thinking there will be a stay-at-home order after Thanksgiving. Firepits are nice this time of year.
Beaver--I think your approach is going to be the norm for this holiday season. Sad, but necessary.
Goldie--LOL!Of all the things to steal from someone's house!
Cammy Cat--I hope the weekend goes as planned, too, but we'll see. Sounds like Thanksgiving will be pretty normal at your place. I'm going to Mom's, she's making chicken instead of turkey, better for just the 2 of us. I think it's good that you have rules and have to eat! Speaking of eating, what have you eaten so far today????
Well, just got the text.There's been a call out for tomorrow, so I'm going to have to work. So much for things getting better all the time, right?

NM - Thomasina reminds me of Thumbelina - but of course she is tiny and not "big". Sigh. I can still sing the song. Danny Kaye! But thanks for the name translation.
Thumbelina, Thumbelina tiny little thing
Thumbelina dance, Thumbelina sing
Thumbelina what's the difference if you're very small?
When your heart is full of love you're nine feet tall…Goldie - the Seabreeze sounds wonderful. Forwarded to my BFF.
-
Though you're no bigger than my thumb, than my thumb, than my thumb, than my thumb
Sweet, Thumbelina, don't be glum. Now, now, now. Hee, hee, hee. Come, come, come.
(Thanks for the earworm. Speaking of which, here comes "Inchworm"...noooooo!!!)
Bob visited Binny's en route home and picked up Georges Duboeuf and Joseph Drouhin Beauj. Nouveau 2020. No other brands at that branch (it's in a shot-and-a-beer neighborhood), and no Beaj,-Villages Nouveau (much less Duboeuf's new Beauj. Nouveau Rosé). Much smaller selection nationwide due to the pandemic, since the mainstays of the annual rollout--tastings, gatherings, etc.--are no-nos. Fewer producers are even exporting to the U.S. due to that (plus a very hot summer)...and you-know-who's tariffs.
So we opened the Duboeuf. Typical BN nose (strawberry-banana-bubble gum), albeit a tad more restrained than in past vintages. Fruity but not as fruity as it should be.
I have to take Heidi to the vet tomorrow (rabies shot & mani-pedi). After I drop her back off at home, might try the Evanston Binny's or Evanston First Liquors (much more upscale 'burb, just a couple miles n. of us).
-
Oh no - Inchworm. My saving grace is that's too slow for my brisk 6 mile walks. But Thumbelina would work. The last couple of days my inchworm was "I'm Looking Over a Four Leaf Clover....". Earlier this week it was "Parade of the Wooden Soldiers". Coming up December 1st - "Good King Wenceslas"
-
For me when I walk it's Joe Jackson's "Down to London" & "Is She Really Goin' Out with Him?", Warren Zevon's "When Johnny Strikes Up the Band" and the allegro movement of Steeleye Span's "Bach Goes to Limerick." The Boss' "Rosalita," "No Surrender," "Born to Run," "Tunnel of Love," "Radio Nowhere," and "Dancing in the Dark" work too. ("Human Touch" is just too sadly ironic these days).
-
Good morning friends- whew, what a week this has been. Big adjustment working from home, but we got everything figured out for access on Monday, and by Tuesday I was rocking. Work just got a bit harder this week with things being thrown over the wall at us, but us new hires are not shy about saying "we need this, this and this to do that." It's a combination of working for a hospital during a pandemic, and just what I think is not being all that prepared for us on some fronts. But I still like the people, think the work will be interesting and this week, my colleague and I will start spending just a little bit of time with one of the groups. And hey, I got paid a full paycheck this time (2 weeks) and like that. Working from home has also allowed me to be here to get some things finished I need to do around my business, etc. I am going to take advantage of this time and also the long weekend next weekend to get some things finished so if we go back on the 30th, I will be better positioned. I reminded myself that this is a big change for me and also sometimes everything takes longer too in a pandemic, right?
New Mexico is NOT doing well at all. We have been jumping about 700 cases a day. We went over 2000 and then the next thing we were up to 3000, then almost 4000 daily. Like everywhere else, it has exploded. I stayed home all week except for some walks in the neighborhood and a short trip to Walgreens (the minute they shut down I am out of everything from lightbulbs, to dish detergent, you name it). The big box stores here like Sams (which I belong to) and Costco have crazy lines so I won't go there. Rumor has it workers are turning up sick here at Costco and a couple of them may be getting shut down. It all is much harder but I won't say I did not see this coming. Hospitals ICUs here are over capacity and they are building a field hospital again here. I heard the Gov talk about having to bring in mobil morgues soon. Sigh.
Going to be home today and have my pest control people coming any time, then the cleaning company this afternoon. The girls will continue on to do cleaning with a set of keys going forward, and think for 2021 I am upping it to every other week to be able to have more free time on the weekends. The weather here is abnormally warm, been in the upper 70s.
Cami- that photo of Clint was taken at a restaurant called the Church St Cafe in our Old Town area and he was doing some filming there. It had been on the news the week before last and then saw someone share that on FB. So I did not take it, but if I saw him, I would have found a way to say hi and get a socially distanced selfie.
I am sorry about the people who are sick, and think Les was smart to opt out of spending time around them. I have seen so few people this year but there are people I have observed a lot of conversation on social about people who fight the mask thing then when they or someone they know finds out they are diagnosed, here comes the panicked texts and e-mails. My sister who has been mostly careful during all this has two friends coming in for Thanksgiving and they plan to visit with her partners MIL and all go see her partner through the window next week for a visit. I hope the friends don't bring more than a turkey with their visit.
NM- did you get your vacation approved? Sounds like work has calmed down a bit, but think they will always have staffing issues. We were hearing about shortages with the MAs this week in a lot of locations at the clinics and hospital. I think I read you are on call this weekend. Your mom is more settled in this weekend? Will you see her for the holiday or stay put? Hi to Sadie.
Goldie- I hope you are okay friend. Everything I read about what you are dealing with seems like so much. It would be hard enough to help your DH in perfect health with all this, but you have your own condition to be caring about. Do you have a Plan B if your treatments knock you down for a bit and you need to rest? Always willing to brainstorm and share ideas if it would help? Your last post said he was doing better. The photo of that woman with the TP under her shirt is just hilarious!
Chi- well it's too bad they could not get a solid dx on the mass in your eye with it being too small, but glad you finally found out what was up with never hearing anything. I hope you continue to heal from everything.
Ill- how is the weather over in West TX? Are you enjoying anything good to eat this weekend?
MinusTwo, Karen, JCS, Celia C, Mistyeyes- hope you are all doing well this weekend.
Got to get back to my to dos and look forward to relaxing later with some nice wine and take out. Hope to be back tomorrow!
-
Jazzy - YES do schedule the cleaning people every other week. Now that you're working full time away from home (usually) this is something you don't need to worry about at all. If I remember, I don't think you have any pets? That means your house stays cleaner. But I do remember the Albuquerque dust. Every other week worked well for me. I cleaned the sinks & toilets and let the rest go until they came again.
-
MinusTwo- I talked to the cleaning company today when the called to verify the team was on their way (finishing up right now). Only going to be another $40 more to come every other week vs. once a month. I have changed the frequency through time from weekly (when I was going through the worst of my health issues), to bi monthly which I had for a long time, then to monthly at one point. We are going to start that new plan in 2021 as everything is already scheduled out for 2020 and want to keep my same team.
-
Hooray - Very smart move!!!
-
IL has had>10K new cases/day every day for the last week, except for an 8K new case day last Monday. (They're now counting "probables"--symptomatic people awaiting test results--as "cases," but the count is still distressingly high). Positivity rate is going down, but deaths & hospitalizations are rising. Some "collar-county" suburban hospitals have fewer than 20% of their beds--not just ICU beds--available. The entire lobby at Rush is a COVID testing/triage center now. Thank goodness Holy Cross canceled all elective stress tests, so Bob didn't have to go in today, just read EKGs & echoes & do telephone consults.
Took Heidi to the vet today for exam, rabies shot & "mani-pedi." Her regular vet is booked through the first week in Dec., so she saw a different one--who marveled at what good shape she's in for 15 yrs. old, and how plushy her coat is. (I love that Heidi loves to cuddle at bedtime). It seems like ages ago since we were allowed to wait in the clinic--ever since March we've had to wait in our cars outside the front door and communicate by cellphone. I nearly got gored trying to get her into her carrier--Bob was able to hold it still so I could stuff her in there.
Cracked the Drouhin Beaujolais Nouveau with takeout Tex-Mex tonight. Not as acidic as the Dubouef, a bit more tannin & body, about even with the fruitiness. But it's $2 more expensive, so Dubouef it'll be. (None of our usual faves, much less those top-rated by Wine Spectator, are available in the Chicago area this year).

Good Morning, Loungettes! It is amazing the things you find out when working a shift when no management is around. Some stuff I suspected is going on was confirmed. Saw and heard some stuff I didn't realize was going on. I'm going to talk to the Administrator tomorrow. I will not be part of the managerial bullying that is going on, and I need him to know (1) that it is going on and (2) that is why I am leaving. Maybe, just maybe, he isn't aware. He got rid of the last Director of Nursing that was doing that.
Silly Sadie was funny last night. I was draggin' butt when I got home, sat down in the recliner and fell asleep. She woke me up twice, the second time making sure I saw her going into the bedroom. After a few minutes I heard her woof as if to say "are you coming?" When I finally shuffled in she was curled up on ALL the pillows, looking at me and thumping her tail. While I was changing into my night clothes, she worked out ONE pillow for me to use! She's never done that before, she's always hogged ALL the pillows!
Jazzy--everything does seem to take longer during a pandemic. I'm beginning to wonder when it will cease to be a pandemic and be reclassified as a globally endemic infectious disease. Probably not until after a vaccine is made readily available. Maine is not doing well either, with the biggest increases of new cases since this whole thing began. This time around it's not just in the high population counties, but also in my county and the local hospitals are seeing double digit admissions where there has been one or none all summer. The National Guard partially set up a field hospital last spring, it was never used, and some of that equipment was used to set up the screening station that was used steadily until just the last couple of weeks. That screening center has been moved to a parking lot at the airport that has some buildings, so the staff can have heated areas to work in and better protection from wind and rain (and eventually snow) than the tents.
Chi--my vet just changed from not allowing any one in with their pets to allowing one person, with waiting in the car until ready, straight to the exam room, no lobby waiting time, etc, and cases started spiking so they went right back to the people stay in cars, only pets go into the building. YoYo time.
Good morning to Minus, and Cammy Cat, and Illi, and Goldie and everyone else whose name escapes me just at the moment!
