What did you do today?

[Jon]

WE are trying. Broke the fever Thursday around noon, but feel like **** since. Karen is still in the hospital and thinking she will be there a couple more day. They took a urine sample for a culture and that takes 3 days for it to grow, What a fricking week. Our daughter has been our Florence Nightinggale but I'm afraid she is coming down with it. Coughing and hacking last night. Can't stop the nose from running, have went through 3-4 boxes of kleenex since all this started. Drink lots of liquids and wash hands when you get the chance. This **** isn't any fun at all.

Sounds like this virus going around but I cant see any chance of you both catching that unless you have been traveling the world or being close to someone who has traveled recently
Get better soon
Guess who is boarding a ship next Saturday?
So if you dont hear from me we will be maybe stuck on a ship for ever as each country might not let us off

That just sucks, Daris. I feel so lucky not having caught a flu for 20 or more years. Lasted just a few days but I was tired for a week longer.

 

[highup]

Not China I hope.

 

[highup]

How come you don't just sell the house and buy a ship?

 

[Jon]

Not China I hope.

Nah there are no planes going there
We booked this cruise before all the fires

Its only a little ship we are going on
Nobody goes to that Retreat area as you have to pay extra US$300? a day And you cant even see the ocean from up there due to all the cabanas Upset a lot of regular Seabourn passengers as Seabourn should open up that area to everybody

Jon, do you still have that cat?

 

[Jon]

Yes we still have her and she is still wrecking the house by running up the door frames then sliding down the wall paper with her claws out
Costing about NZ$30 a day to be housed in her hotel while we are away

 

[Floorist]

Our cat runs back and forth through the house all night.

 

[Jon]

Cat finds this about two oclock am even though its hidden away then meows in a painful way to say I found it
Cat has also be known to pull all the pins out Also likes to pull the pins out of the patern when Shirley is trying to sew
You wanna swap cats??

I was in the post office the other day & started coughing. I looked around and said "Don't worry, I haven't been to China recently". Not everyone got it-- apparently they don't watch or read the news. The postal clerk helpfully pointed out that a lot the packages he'd been handling came from China. LOL.
I got a call from my friend early this afternoon- his "new" car stopped running while he was driving. O2 sensor went out on it. The power steering belt broke and cut the wire for the sensor. So, he got a new O2 sensor, new belt, wires, etc. I stayed with him and helped him while he worked on it and made sure his car could make it out of the driveway. He made it to work just fine, but on the way home his car stopped running. Computer reader thingy said it was the O2 sensor. Got the motor secured so it isn't wobbling anymore & bumping the belt so the belt was in place, but not sure why the sensor went out. It's under warranty, but something must be causing it to blow. He was 3 hours late for work, so he has to go to work 3 hours earlier tomorrow. My brother said he can continue to borrow his truck.
Weird thing is, at the exact time his car stopped, I had an anxiety dream about it breaking down and woke up. I messaged him and he told me it didn't make it home & he was waiting on a towtruck to get it to his house. It was an "As is" sale, but I don't know if he has any recourse to get a refund from the seller given that the seller lied to him (in texts) that nothing was wrong with it. The guy had to have known about at least some of the issues.

What a beautiful day in the neighborhood. Gorgeous out, in the 50's, so nice I thought I'd go out and pick up the winter suppy of recycled dog food Coco left me. Got a good amount in a plastic grocery bag if someone wants, I'll ship it to you free but there are no guarantees.

Find a politician, they know how to spread it.

We're at 54 and slightly overcast. Nice weather to tinker with my vacuum thingamajiggy.

Low 60's after today. 40s today.

I don't even know what it was like outside today. I stayed indoors. Waiting to go visit my friend. I made dinner & am now sitting with the cats. I'm trying to help plan out supplies my friend needs to fix up his bathroom.
I'm trying to figure out if it's cheaper to just buy a direct drain kit or make one out of pieces. Just need the overflow elbow, drain for the tub, and the appropriate gaskets.
I was pricing out the valve body options for the Delta monitor trim he likes & found that the one that already has the copper tub spout rough-in attached is cheaper than the valve without the copper.
