reinventmyself Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 IAG. mmmm. Turkey dinner, proper turkey dinner at Christmas. Delicious. Hope that six of us anyhow can get together for that dinner this year. On the news this morning, store are gearing up with smaller turkeys and turkey breasts assuming there won't be the typical large gatherings. I can never get my hands on a turkey breast in the past. This should be interesting. Link to comment
journeynow Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Great thread, everyone. I'll just offer a quote from the book that inspired my screen name: “Every person needs to take one day away. A day in which one consciously separates the past from the future. Jobs, family, employers, and friends can exist one day without any one of us, and if our egos permit us to confess, they could exist eternally in our absence. Each person deserves a day away in which no problems are confronted, no solutions searched for. Each of us needs to withdraw from the cares which will not withdraw from us.” ― Maya Angelou, Wouldn't Take Nothing For My Journey Now Link to comment

reinventmyself Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Thank you JN. . thoughtful post. I am trying to be creative working from home and cooking for one during the week. Trying to mix it up a little. I'm in my 7th month of house arrest and turkey sandwich's and chicken salad weren't cutting it anymore. Just finished ramen I bought from Costco. I added some stir fry veg's and I bought some stir fry steak and froze it single serving packages. The ramen flavor was Tomkatsu and with some Siracha for zing, I have to say I am a pretty happy camper right now. Delicious! hmmm. . .now what do it do with myself? I guess I'll go for a walk. In a couple weeks 5oclock quitting time will be dark ;( Link to comment

Capricorn3 Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Just rejoicing in this gorgeous day and so grateful that I live where I do - a dream come true. Link to comment
LaHermes Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Was just about to say much the same, Capri. "Just rejoicing in this gorgeous day and so grateful that I live where I do - a dream come true." And grateful for all the good people I know. Link to comment
boltnrun Posted October 10, 2020 Author Share Posted October 10, 2020 The weather got down to a reasonable temperature. Unfortunately, another heat wave is headed this way in a day or two. Good news? I am OUT OUT OUT of that crappy apartment with no AC and can enjoy the AC at my brother's house! Link to comment
Capricorn3 Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Books. Books, books and more books. I've been on a major reading binge lately, starting a new book almost every second/third day. If there's one good thing to say about chronic insomnia, it would have to be reading books. Link to comment
Long Gone Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Books. Books, books and more books. I've been on a major reading binge lately, starting a new book almost every second/third day. If there's one good thing to say about chronic insomnia, it would have to be reading books. I'm using books as a great use of distraction/escapism. Found it helps with my codependent issues. I've also started practicing mindfulness which I was somewhat skeptical about. However so far, it's definitely been a positive experience. Link to comment

reinventmyself Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Baby day today! If nothing happened during the weekend they were instructed to call in at 2am to check in at 4am. She's been induced and now we wait [emoji16] Link to comment

reinventmyself Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Did everything go all right? How's the baby and mum? After 12 hours they intervened and she was born via c section last night. C section baby's are typically really pretty and this one is no exception! She is absolutely beautiful. Weird times where we were denied that waiting room experience and get notified by text. Along with Covid they both have to stay put until sometime Thursday. We can't even send flowers. So excited I could hardly sleep last night! Thanks for asking :) Can't wait to hold her.

boltnrun Posted October 13, 2020 Author Share Posted October 13, 2020 I love the look on her face. I wish I could hear what they're thinking. But she looks like "OK, guys, I've had enough. I want to chill out and relax now." Link to comment

I want to chill out and relax now." Do you remember the movie, Look Who's Talking? Bruce Willis plays the voice of the baby. At the end, Joan Rivers voiced his newborn sister. So funny.
