(Well not outside, but otherwise.) My circulation is a bit buggered and my feet get really warm easily, so I like open footwear like flip flops. But then I saw the monster slippers online and my feet happened to be extremely cold at the time (I'm just getting over what I'm pretty certain was COVID, but I couldn't get tested unless I was in hospital or a healthcare worker or some other things that I'm not), and I couldn't resist. So... here we are. Thankfully, I don't have cats lol. Link to post Share on other sites
Traveler40 Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 So odd the disparities on COVID. We have tests coming out of our arses here. Some were randomly sent in the mail, my husband picked up a few at CVS “just in case” and the government should be sending a few soon. I mean, when the hell are we going to use all of these tests? 🤷🏻♀️ I keep waiting to get COVID. It’s not like I want it, but when? I mean, everyone I know has had it. So either: 1. We are asymptomatic carriers. 2. We haven’t had it. So to hell with it. We are vaxxed, boosted, KN95’d and sanitized. I say bring on international travel. Yep, I’m going. ✌️ Ok, but not-so-funny story time: Covid picked up big time in December. Kids were dropping like flies at school, and we went on high alert. We strapped the kids with hand sanitizers on their bodies, masks and so on. So yeah, we also pack a lunch. One day it was raining cats and dogs which means they have to eat inside (no access to lunch area extras like forks…) Mom packs chicken and rice with broccoli and Dad forgets the forks….. Child A - washes hands, carefully opens lunch and asks teacher for a fork. Child B - (lunch is after 5 periods, their grade has 35% out due to COVID) never washed or sanitized, opened lunch and dug in with fingers… 🤮 The fact that we haven’t gotten COVID is pure luck, or we have, and it’s pure genetics. 🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️ BTW, we actually used 3 of those boxed tests across 8 days. Kid blew a negative each time. Go figure! Link to post Share on other sites

Stores occasionally get them but sell out with a couple of hours so, unless you have time to stalk one of the notification groups and then race around trying to get places fast enough, nothing. I ended up having to mail-order and a lot of options were sold out there as well. Link to post Share on other sites

Traveler40 Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 I don’t want to like your post so I’m sending you a ♥️ manually instead@anisotrophic. Good to see you, and I’m sorry it’s still rough. Take note, we aren’t chit chatting about sex at the moment! 😬🙄 @ryn2 so odd. It may be that I live in the land of far right so maybe no one wants a test? 🤷🏻♀️ However, they still need them for proof of admittance to school once exposed. Supply chain issues have sucked. Flip flops rule 🙌🏼 Link to post Share on other sites

Ceebs Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Lol. Years ago when my ex-husband (boyfriend at the time) was still living in the States and we were doing the distance thing (god I've had too much distance, I'll be so glad when it's gone in my relationship now) he had his gallbladder removed and he was doped up on a bunch of shit at home afterwards. He kept telling me about how he felt like he was floating up near the ceiling and I was like... yeah dude ok, this is amusing. 😂 Link to post Share on other sites
ryn2 Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 I mean, we can laugh because it was years ago and he’s now a cancer survivor and all. Hah, yes, exactly. Getting something done? Hide that phone. Future you will be grateful. Link to post Share on other sites

A healthy relationship is kind of a revolutionary thing to my messy little brain. Puts a lot of other connections -- familial, romantic, whatever -- in perspective. There's some cheesy quote about the right people will know how to love you properly and make you realise you're not difficult to love, and that does seem to be true. Link to post Share on other sites

It’s quite true. Best of luck in surgery Ceebs, and keep your eye on the Easter prize. It’s all good stuff at the end of the day. With UK restrictions gone, I think you should cut (literally) then run! 😬 What a freaking Friday here. Usually it’s my favorite day of the week, but today has been a hell of a thing. I’m having a party tomorrow (kinda like to have them) and there are a million things to do. Why do I do this?

I gotta take a page out of your very proactive book I think, and work towards that being the goal. Honestly I am scared shitless of aspects of the future (logistics-wise, I mean; zero relationship doubts for a single microsecond), but I do agree that the sooner things get moving, the better. I really just want to feel like I'm not idly pissing my existence away far from the person who means the most to me. 40 minutes ago, Traveler40 said: I’m having a party tomorrow Celebrating anything?

Traveler40 Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 We are celebrating a birthday!

Ceebs Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Also I just realised I missed an opportunity to use another great British phrase when lamenting my inability to plan bugger all of anything. (Seriously, I can't even orchestrate a reasonable bedtime for myself... clearly, given I'm still awake here at 6.00 am.) Anyway, I should've said I 'couldn't organise a piss-up in a brewery'. 😂 Link to post Share on other sites
