Daily Ooo's: Friday, October 23

:yawn:
TGIF, dear O-Fam.

The weather this week has made me feel even sleepier than lack of sleep has. NB: It isn't cold so that has been a blessing but the clouds and fog haven't been too good for energy-boosts.

COVID anxiety is taking over my house again. It is gonna be a dang long winter. Leah has plans to visit with her family this weekend, outside with masks, but everyone is up in arms over it. I think that visiting family that way -while we can- is super important but Gary and Caitlyn, my two very high-risk family members understandably don't see it the same. We are trying to figure out how to best approach all of this and it is just simply not coming together. To say that I am p***** at this Admin's response to the pandemic is an understatement.

Aside from the bickering yesterday, I didn't get much accomplished. Not that the bickering accomplished anything either! ha!
The washing machine stopped working again but Gary thinks he fixed it enough to last until the tech comes back next week. This bites.
One nice thing is that the trees here are getting to peak color and people are sharing pictures on the town's FB page. I might not like Autumn -since it is a gateway to Hell Winter- but the colors truly are breathtaking.

I am going to call the FP to see if I can pick up a bag of items. We are low on coffee and peanut butter. I would love to get some scrapping done. I had time blocked off in my mind to do that yesterday afternoon but the family fighting threw me off my "game." (As if I have a *game*!!! ound: )

Dinner. I also need to think about what I should make for dinner.

Better post this before I keep grumbling on and on and on about everything.
And on... hahaha!

Have a wonderful day! Sending love to everyone. xoxo

Cheryl- I slept until 4.30 this morning so at least that is a slight improvement over yesterday. I have had Monty Python's Lumberjack song stuck in my head since I read about your boots. Thanks a lot :rofl:

Trudy- so happy to hear that Hunter is doing well at school! That is awesome.
The class must have been thrilled to see the horse.
What did you make for dinner? I need ideas over here.

Chris, I'm glad you were able to sleep a bit longer. I go to bed early, around 9, then I'm up by 4, 4:30 latest. This morning I awoke with one thing on my mind; learning the ropes of a Cheery O! I'm so thrilled to be part of the team, now if I can just learn what to do and where to document what I've done. ♥

I am here... but still having issues with log-ins. So will have to bite the bullet and move on over to DH's newer computer. But I have to winnow-down a lot of kits/LOs as it is only a 1TB and mine is a 2TB and is 3/4 full. At least they did resolve the DVD recording issue. I back up to an ExHD but like having older kits/LOs also on DVDs. So I will be spending most of the time working on back-ups then moving over to the newer computer. I did resolve the monitor issue... with the help from Samsung tech... it was the cable/connection plus an older computer connector. Hooked it up to the newer commuter and it works fine there. My computer doesn't have a HDMI connection so can't use that type of cable. So will use this older monitor with my computer.

Chris, so sorry your weather is getting to you. I understand the division over whether Leah should visit with family or not. I have decided that I won't be going to any holiday/family gatherings this year as the rates are rising here.

Welcome to the chat, Betty Jo. Yes, learning the CT curve here takes a bit of time. If you have any questions.. just ask.

Good morning, ladies. Going to relax for an hour with my coffee and book, maybe start a scrap page, before starting work. It's my b-day so I feel justified in slacking off a bit

D is going to poker night with the guys and Jen and I will eat burrito bowls and nachos for dinner and watch a movie on netflix. I'm going to insist on some selfies later with her (she hates having her photo taken but she won't say no today).

Work will be busy but not crazy so all in all, not a bad day.

Chris - hope you get you coffee and PB. I know I couldn't live without them. I gave up peanut butter for such a long time when I was keto/paleo. I don't mind almond butter in baking but for scooping right out of the jar, or smeared on PB or crackers...I have to have PB. So glad I went back to eating PB, some days I just scoop it right out of the jar and have 2-3 TBSP lol.

Betty Jo...congrats on becoming a cheery-o. It's a wonderful experience and you'll find all the gals so helpful and friendly.

Ugh...Kay....computer problems are the worst.

I'm getting back to my book "Little Secrets" for a bit before starting work and maybe working on a page this morning. Have a great day everyone BFN

Good Friday morning ladies... I am late here again today and have to make this really quick as I go swimming pretty soon.

Chris - Sorry you still are not sleeping well and that the family is bickering, guess it is bound to happen! Can understand the need for Leah to see her family and also the stress for the others who are more vulnerable for this not to happen Sheesh how do you deal with it?? Hope things improve over the weekend and that you get what you need at the FP!

Kay - Ugh on still having computer issues! Hope you can transfer over to the new one with ease! Good idea to not be going to any holiday gatherings this year, we will probably be doing the same as numbers are on the rise here in B.C. too.

Betty Jo - so nice to see you here and hope that you are getting around the site and learning the ropes! You will do just fine!!

Rae - :HapBirthday: my fellow B.C. friend! I hope you have an awesome day! Yup do some slacking off today, its your special day so you should do what makes you happy!!

Ok off I go to get my swim bag packed and get out the door, have a wonderful Friday ladies!! :wave:
