I don't know what to do with myself so I just keep looking in the fridge to see what might go bad and what I can turn into a room temperature food for later. So far I've made a pizza, zucchini muffins and bread, and I'm moving on to an eggplant parm. I’ll be there in an hour lol You're probably not more than a little over an hour from me! Come over if you lose power!!

Hey. H and I are currently at a birthday party for one of her school friends. It’s a swimming party so I stuck around. My BIL is going to come over this afternoon to help DH put up more ceiling racks in the garage, I believe and then we can start clearing out the basement.

We haven’t had a ton of rain but the wind is around 50mph. We are on the water so we get high winds a lot. As long as nothing knocks down a power line, we should be fine. It moved west a bit so we aren’t getting a dead hit.
In other news I am frustrated with Dh and puppy training. Right now she needs to be watched closely for signs she has to go out and needs to go about every 1-1.5hrs during the day. I have successfully done this and have really limited accidents in the house. The last few days it’s been once a day and I can pinpoint why and correct it. She reliably goes to the door and barks when she needs to poop but she is still figuring out pee and the sign is her sniffing around certain areas. It’s really not hard to pay attention to when you’re sitting around. If she gets up, watch her. Today was the first day I’ve slept in since we got her and she has 4 pees in the house! I also could continuously hear frustrated “no’s” from Dh, which isn’t the way we are training her. A quick no and redirect is the way to do it. Just like with C when he was a toddler.
Dh is also asking when she can go to daycare. We had discussed prior that it will be a month or so that he will need to work from home two days a week when I go to the office. It’s been a week and he’s already bitching. I want to send my family away and I can train her and allow them to come back when I’m done. 😩
I also need my cats to man up and come down. They’ve come down and sniffed her while she sleeps but as soon as she moves they run away. There’s plenty of high spaces downstairs for them. I hate having them separate although I’m getting good snuggles in bed.

lfig I hope they recover quickly, was your BIL vaxxed? The breakthrough cases seem to be more common these days. lahdeedah I hope your niece recovers quickly and no one else gets it🤞🤞. How's your school doing? Any cases or quarantines? Hope the North easterners are doing okay! My SIL is in CT and said to be prepared for visitors if it gets bad.

Busy few days - Friday I drove 3.5 hours from the beach to my grandma's funeral and then back the same day..and then we checked out yesterday and drove 10 hours home with traffic. The trip was really great and we had missed that beach a lot..I think the palm trees help make the beach feel more tropical than the local beaches.
Now I'm spiraling and emailing all sorts of people about next week and starting school/daycare. I'm meeting with admissions for an outdoor Montessori school about openings later this week. Also emailed a half day preschool to see if they could take the girls so then they'd be home during naptime. I doubt they have spaces, but figured I could check.

This morning H’s swimming class was cancelled because someone pooped on the pool. At 11 we went to a movie theater with a bu ch of friends from school. The organizer was gifted a theater rental for Christmas and there was never a movie she really wanted to see, so she’s decided on Space Jam for all the kids before they start school tomorrow.
My in laws just flew back in town today so we’re meeting them for dinner. Hopefully it isn’t a shit show with the kids. They’ve been hellions lately.

How's your school doing? Any cases or quarantines? Hope the North easterners are doing okay! My SIL is in CT and said to be prepared for visitors if it gets bad. I’m sure there are cases in our school. The county sent out an email beating around the bush about the community doing our part to stop spread and what measures the schools are taking to help mitigate it. It’s the very least they could be doing. Our county school numbers are like 300 positives, 1200 more in quarantine. And that’s not including teachers- I forget the numbers for them but something like 70 positives. This is just after the first full week.

SMIL sent me a text today, FIL tested positive for Covid. Fortunately he had his vaccine so his symptoms are mild. SMIL asked if we still wanted her to take Evie to and from school Wednesday, if we were comfortable and she tests negative. Um, no, thanks, we will figure it out.
One of Hs aunts has been in the hospital for 24 days with Covid. She's not on a ventilator, but is on oxygen. She has good days, then like 5 steps back. Its like she's totally given up.
