Prepping for Thanksgiving — gonna see the fam.

 

[UrbanHunter]

We are planning for Thanksgiving and the holiday's. We are going to do Thanksgiving meal on the Saturday following because of family issues. The wife and I are trying to plan the week's meals to avoid doing a lot of extra work, and eating the same foods for two weeks in a row. Usually we put out the holiday stuff on that weekend so we will be trying to get much of it out this weekend to reduce the time crunch....

 

[Curmudgeon]

Today is rest up from yesterday, the youngest and I spent considerable time outside catching up on some things that needed tending, and I'm sore as can be, lol. The whole time I was outside walking all over and carrying things I did so without my cane, first time for everything, lol..

This is what one of the cousins wrote about the man who was married to my great aunt:

"My favorite expression of frustration and exasperation is “Piffle.” I learned that word from great aunt's husband, my Great Uncle CK. I remember it particularly being used when he was castrating my lambs for me...using his teeth!!!"

Groce and poor lambs

Cleaning some today, will need to clean again Wednesday if daughter and family are still coming ( we never know till last minute) so grandbaby doesn't eat stuff off the floor
stacked some wood this morning
got barn ready for tonight, everyone going in since it is supposed to rain and get cold again

we have too many freezers, I think we won't need to ever buy one again

Today I started the preliminary work to move the furnace from this service entrance...

To the other service entrance that has the manual transfer switch.

View attachment 119719

I think I found the correct 15A breaker so I ordered 5 which will allow me to power all of the 15A circuits.

Scoped out a path for the wire run.

Staying on the electrical theme I put the tractor battery on a trickle charger.

Behave!

The circuit breakers around today and fit the service entrance nicely! So I ran a wire from the transfer switch to the furnace. It should be ready to run the furnace after I do the final connection. I probably do that work on Monday. I don't want to get into messing with the furnace before going into the weekend.

After reporting to The Princess she did not miss a beat and added a request to include the network hardware to the transfer switch.

Such a long, long day. Dropped off little granddaughter at school at 7:30, and we went straight to husband's chest xray appt, then to pulmonologist, then to my doc appt since my chest still hurts (reflux, he says, or a pulled muscle from lifting, or both probably), then to husband's eye check up appt, thru the drivethru at Chic Fil A, then husband's 2 hr infusion appt. I went to fill a cart at Aldi while he was being infused, filled the truck up with gas, and got cash.

What the?!... are you serious? that's just Jeffery Dhamer!

 

[Weedygarden]

Forgot to set my alarm but my cat Itsy woke me up by very gently touching my lips with her paw. It was such a light touch I think she was checking if I was breathing. When I opened my eyes she licked my forehead. I had to get up and shower and unload the truck so its good she woke me up. I'd slept through my alarm yesterday.

Took mom and brother to the doctor. Confirmed we all have Covid. Another week of quarantine. Prescribed Paxlovid. Called pharmacy and the really sweet pharmacist there said he'd send someone out to my truck to deliver the meds so I wouldn't come inside while contagious. Grabbed some McDonalds and dropped Mom & bro back home and came back bc it gave them time to fill the RX.

Developed a headache and started having charley horse in my back. Took some naprosyn and hopefully that will help. Having to sleep sitting up so I won't cough uncontrollably and empty my bladder again.

Mom racked out already-- she wasn't feeling good at all.

I'm about to take a much-needed nap. Rest and hydration time.

Ugh! Best to all of you,
There are a few good notes in this, if you can imagine that when you feel as crappy as you do. 1. You all have it at once so it will be over and done for all of you. 2. You won't get it again fir several months.

The wife and I are trying to plan the week's meals to avoid doing a lot of extra work, and eating the same foods for two weeks in a row.

Freezer meals! Package them up and put meals in the fridge for the next few months.

What the?!... are you serious? that's just Jeffery Dhamer!

I know! I really cannot imagine this! I was so surprised when cousin shared this.

 

[Amish Heart]

Woo hoo...little granddaughter was chosen from her school to be a part of the district's Scholar Team, and compete in Academic "bowls". I think it'll be good for her. And she was the only one chosen. So she starts that in January. She'll be working with the team at the nearby town school, and it's the same town she'll have to attend High School at.

Still sick. Have I ever expressed my disdain for mouth breathing. Coupled with coughing bouts, I’m still pretty rummy but a little more awake today.
Sorry I’m not better company.

Hope you feel better soon!! Go to bed early and get a lot of rest! Just know I am waiting for when you feel better and you are giving me time to think up some picking on you fun!!

I helped my SIL move into an assisted living complex. She is physically an invalid, but still mentally sharp. It is a very nice facility, and should be good for her.

Hope she likes it! Hope it makes her life easier and enjoyable!!

Thank you. I think it will. It is a considerable downsize, but one of the huge advantages is having a washer and drier. My wife has been doing her laundry for some time. Being with other people and having meals available at a very reasonable price are also huge advantages.

Change is hard!! Even good change! Prayers for a great transition!!

 

[Mountain trapper]

Left home at 6am to meet our daughter to pick up the gkids. We meet at a place roughly half way, 200 miles. We're about 60 miles, or 2 hours, from home now. The road is bare and dry, but heavy fog in places.

 

[zannej]

Hope you have a safe drive Mountaintrapper.

Thanks for wellwishes. Not feeling too bad now. The Paxlovid seems to make some of the symptoms go away or reduces them. Nose is stuffy but not runny. Not coughing a lot. No more muscle spasms in my back. Mostly feeling tired. Slept all night and most of the day. Got up briefly to feed & water kitties & to cook for Mom and eat some stuff. Keep napping in between. Not enough energy to really focus on anything.

Not sure if I've been having a fever but I wake up sweating. Feeling better than I did yesterday. My sister over in New Mexico just tested positive for covid and will be seeing the doctor tomorrow.

I'm just going to take it easy and ride out this quarantine.

That's a good sign.
It means your immune system has unleashed it's guns on the virus.
I mentioned that when I test-drove the antibodies I had got from Delta, by being exposed months later to Omicron, I had one night-sweat and that was it. All done.

 

[zannej]

Yeah, as annoying as the sweating is, I realize it is necessary.
As an aside, the gorilla putty I used to secure the top drawer bin is working well. The decoy computer is also working to give the cats somewhere to sit.

Another quiet day, needed to go to the big town... nah. Maybe tomorrow. have to make sure there isn't a home game for bama. I wouldn't get within 40miles of that town on a game day.

I think it must be catchy! I woke up at 02:30 and discovered the wife sitting in a chair watching her phone, grumpy . I have errands I need to run this morning, but nothings open yet!

Can't sleep Sigh

I've been up since 1am! Did sleep some between 3:30 and 4:30! Bear needed out, Tiger found a scorpion in the bathroom, then the cats had a running spree through the house! Glad I'm off today so I can nap! Got some laundry done overnight, so it wasn't a total loss!! Everyone's schedules are off with it getting dark early! I was here, all lonely, reading threads, only Caribou and PeePaw were logged in!
