Daily Ooos: October 1-2: Weekend Edition

[Cherylndesigns]

Love hearing about all your weekends. . It's Monday here and I got up at 2.30 am because otherwise I fall back into crazy dream territory and clench my teeth. After two days of bad headaches I'll take sleep deprived but painfree any day Hopefully DH and I will squeeze in a midday nap!

It's supposedly Spring here but utterly miserable (wet and cloudy but with added hayfever - yay!!)

We bought an air purifier for M thinking she can take it with her when she moves into student housing/a shared apartment (because she's more likely to be exposed to both Covid and mould!). She started using it in her room and now when she gets up she looks so much better and without the constant sniff (even though it's 5am when she gets up for work!) so that's a win. Poor girl is the atopic poster girl . We had a purifier in her room when she was little and the asthma/hayfever was really bad but clearly we should have just kept it.

@faerywings I love that hilarious gif, and your PJ and movie night sounds like so much fun
@LSlycord have fun planning the trip ... increasingly I think that's the best part of travel. ;-)
@vickyday hope there's not too many nasty surprises in the basement and the clean up is easy
@tanteva that sounds tiring but interesting! And whenever I read your posts I get a little nostalgic for my own librarian days
@BrightEyes hoping 'normal' arrives very soon.
@Cherylndesigns So scary reading about the damage in Florida. And I know what you mean about the looney tunes days... it's like "calm down brain!!"
@bcgal00 Keep resting when you need to!

Thanks so much, Lynn. I'm pretty looney anyway and super looney right now. It helps to be a little looney. Hahaha

Slept in late this morning - 8AM! I had gone to bed early last evening - around 8PM to read. Not sure when I fell asleep but woke up at 11PM with book still in hand and turned the light off. Will probably have to re-read some pages to get caught up on the story. I am up and dressed just in case the hot air balloons come this way so I can get some photos. It was cloudy and overcast but the sky seems to be clearing. Yes, the balloons are launching but haven't come this way so far. I am feeling better today... most of the aches/pains are gone so should be back to 'normal' in another day or 2. I did manage to get a Color Play LO made yesterday. DSon#2 Jeff and his wife Debbie were in Switzerland this past week. She talked Jeff into taking a kite/parasailing adventure while up on one of the alps. Just had to use the photo on the LO. The photos of their travels there brought back so many wonderful memories of when Bill and I were there.

@faerywings Sorry you are feeling so jammed with activities, etc going on. Hope things ease up a bit so you can catch your breath and get some rest. I am sure you will do a great toast at the engagement party... just speak from your heart.

@Cherylndesigns My heart aches for your family in FL and what they are dealing with.

@LSlycord Glad your area was spared the worse of Ian. I heard from my friends (about 30 miles west of Jacksonville) and they were also spared the worse of Ian. So glad that Syd was home with you during the storm. So wonderful that she is texting and keeping you up on what she is doing. Will be keeping the healing thoughts going for Shaun.

@vickyday So sorry your IBS kept you from the community feast. Glad that the trees that fell didn't hit the cabin. I have heard about French drains but know they are expensive to put in. So happy that his work on the walls kept a lot of the water out.

Ooops... just remembered I haven't taken my meds. Have to cut the BP pills in half and then fill the week's pill box. So better get that done then take my pills. CYL

Thanks so much, Kay. It's pretty awful down there! They're looking at a LONG road ahead!

Good afternoon. I have some good news - They got their power back! Last evening - they were restored but there are SO many that still don't have it. There are still so many people stranded on the barrier islands - I'm watching right now as they evacuate people from Matlacha. Chris @faerywings you're so right - we can think of all the people who have it worse, but that doesn't help much when you're in the dark, with no water and no A/C.

I just wanted to share some good news - I've relaxed a little bit.
