What did you do today?

[C.J.]

Shortages at the store seem to be getting worse. Lots of empty shelves. I was just going to throw some tator tots in the oven to have with supper, none of any brand. My wife was wanting some breakfast burritos, there were two, total. Cheated and made cheesy hash browns, hash browns mixed with hamburger and melted cheese on top. My son loves it. My wife is still to sick to cook.

Safeway and Fry’s are hit n miss. Gatorade aisle is usually half stocked and they’re always out of half n half whenever I go in lookin for some. Pisses me off cus I’ve got a cart loaded with other stuff I found on my way to the back of the store only to find out they ain’t got no GD half n half. That’s the whole reason I went to the store in the first place, for some half n half.

This brings up an important question. How many times does one go to a store and they don’t have what you went there for until you start to go somewhere else that does? 4 times. Walmart always has half n half so guess who’s been gettin my money lately.

My sister and sister-in-law just recently got out of the hospital after 6 days in on oxygen. Neither had the dhots. SIL says she will get them now, sister still refuses and condemns the whole thing.

Mark, I hope you recover quickly. The CDC guidelines on how long you can stay home does indicate from last day of symptoms. So if you still have symptoms after 10 days, you still stay home. But employers don't like that. I've heard they are telling teachers and nurses to return in 5 days even if they still actively have it. My friend's gf actually got fired for having Covid bc she was out for a month. Now she thinks she has it again. She called to report to HR that she was sick, was trying to get a Covid shot. She got a note back from her manager saying they marked her as "no call no show". She was supposed to call the venue as well as HR but the venue was closed. They wanted her to work somewhere else in the casino. She went to get a Covid test at the Urgent Care clinic (only place that was open to do tests-- hospital only does them if they admit someone as a patient). They told her that she still owes them $ from a previous visit so they refused to test her. She has Medicaid so she shouldn't owe anything. She couldn't afford to pay what they said she owed.

My dentist's office called early & woke me up to ask if I wanted to come in early bc there was a cancellation. They don't remember that I'm over an hour away. Clerk apologized when she realized she woke me up. I needed to take my allergy meds and vitamins anyway. I declined and said I'd go in at my scheduled time. Gives me time for my pepto bismol to kick on. Stomach doesn't like me this morning.

As sick as it might sound... I have been looking forward to this since the first day we heard about covid. I am sad we are down to 10 days from 14... but I will take what I can get to sit at home. I'm top stupid to just take time off so of something forces me to... im game.
Seeing as I just picked up that new strat... couldn't be better timing

I sure like your attitude
Personally, I just think Covid is scared of you so its probably going to right. Either that or Covid knows the owner of the place you've been working at and wants you back at work as soon as possible.

 

[Mark Brown]

Oh believe me, Covid wants me back at work as soon as possible. It would not be kind enough to just up and kill me

There are many things the local Walmart does not have either.

True that but half n half is a necessity for coffee. Taco shells not so much

There is nothing that is a necessity for coffee. Drink it black, drink it like a man.

Exactly. If you put milk and sugar in it, might as well drink hot chocolate.

 

[C.J.]

No sugar, just half n half. I gots to have it.

Alright, I’m a liar. Went to Safeway today to get some stuff cus it’s a good store. I’m still pissed off at them cus they had half n half today but I don’t need any cus I got mine at Walmart the other day.

Being totally retired now I been making sawdust for something to do. I just made my granddaughter some cats to put on a shelf. Anyway I stained and lacquered them. The finish turned out a little rough even though I tac ragged them. Then out of the memory banks it came back to me. I read once after you put the coating on to use a brown paper bag to rub them down with. The bag is abrasive enough to get rid of those dust partiles without hurting the finish. So I tried it and now the pieces are like glass. I will sure remember that for next time.

Taking care of my wife has become a full time job,

Do you know how you picked it up and what about the rest of your family?

 

[Mark Brown]

That's not good mate. I dont know your situation but whatever it is, I hope ot resolves well. Take good care.

 

[Mark Brown]

I presume work, no one wears a mask and physical distancing is non existent. We still hold a site meeting every week with 15+ blokes sitting around a table in a small room maskless. It was bound to happen.

 

[Jon]

Would not happen here
Masks are worn everywhere here along with having to be double vacced
No vaccine in a lot of places No Job

 

[C.J.]

Taking care of my wife has become a full time job,

Hope she recovers quickly. Be good to her when she’s down cus one day that could be you.

 

[Jon]

I agree with you C.J.

 

[C.J.]

I did a job many years ago for an old couple. The old man was in a wheelchair and used one of them robotic vibrating voice thingies to talk. The old lady took the batteries out of his talkie thing and pushed him into a back room and closed the door when I showed up to do the job. She left him shut in that room damn near all day. I sure hope my wife is nicer to me than that. I’m building good karma now while I can

My wife goes back to the doctor Thursday to see how she is doing. Meanwhile, I am doing all the cooking, cleaning, laundry for all 3 of us. (We have an autistic son). Last night I even patched a pair of jeans. My mother insisted that her boys learn to cook, clean and sew. It has come in handy many times.
I have a tree I need to get cut up. Guess that will have to wait.
