Thanks for letting us know about the seafood restarurant. I will have to try that when I am in town (can't do carryout from Des Moines).
I hear ya! We took it home to Nevada and it was still hot to eat. Des Moines, you'd probably have to give it a quick shot in the micro. The boil comes in a big plastic bag inside a cardboard container...easy to nuke. My catfish and the calamari & shrimp & onion rings were all still plenty hot. Bonus - we have enough for a second dinner tonight. :D

He's a little grey jerk sometimes.
This is what I had to deal with this morning...

All the boys:
Mel, 17, ginger
Milo, 7, grey
Tab, 4, black

The printer is on the repurposed shelf because they insisted on lying on top of it, and would get cat hair in the mechanisms...

Because I'm likely to hate much of today, good news updates that very few will care about but anyway.

  • Week down with 2nd shot that was surprisingly mild, hope they didn't only give me 3G
  • Spent a chunk of Tuesday night/Wed morn in the ER after LM's cold went bronchiolitis again and albuterol wasn't cutting it. Supposed to be every 4 hours but he made it 2 before waking up and struggling hard. The RT at the ER gave him SIX doses in about 10 minutes. I'm like..........is that ok to do? Because if it is.......I'll do that at home next time.......she didn't exactly give the ok but it's just a bronchiodialator so no real overdosing. That plus a steroid shot and kiddo was singing Old McDonald for the whole dept to hear. Very nice new ER, btw. Highly recommend if must be in the ER. Downside was not getting home and into bed til 3am and having to be up for a stupid ass 8am meeting while the boys slept til 9.
  • Made DH help me get a baby carrier last night. These things are SUPER popular and last time sold out in about 1 minute. I did get one but not a color I wanted and mostly got so I'd have something. This time they said they had 3x inventory plus had colors I wanted. Made DH practice. He thought I was ridiculous. We both ended up getting one though still not the color I was going for (the most popular, of course). However, I got the 2nd most pop color and have someone lined up who wants to trade because they were going for the one I got and I wanted theirs. The 2nd one I got was actually for a friend who wasn't able to pregnant walk back from daycare fast enough to get one. Probably half or more of the people trying didn't get anything so I feel like the fastest gun in the west now having 3 in my possession or on the way :D I only want one though so if I get this color traded for, my friend gets hers and I'll sell my safety one for only a tiny above retail to deal with reshipping and that hassle. I won't be the ******* selling for 3x retail.
  • We are putting in 2 garden boxes. DH's response to my thought of tilling and extra round of garden space this year was to plan out a whole raised garden bed area complete with gravel, fencing, boxes - based off this picture

  • gorgeous but holy work. He estimated 3 weekends. I estimate he'll be work on it til baby is born o_O

ok, 9am, time for beginning of meetings. Hope all are doing well. Try to pop in and read once in a while but.....life is at about 150mph right now

We love ya, CG, and we'll take any updates ypu can give us. Good to hear LM is on the mend.

Made a haircut appt. First cut since early Feb 2020.

Will need before and after pics!
 
Haircut. DND Will probably have to go to bed early because of the weakness from the hair loss.

Two birdie walkabouts today. Owl picks in the AM and Blue Heron in the PM. Will have to download to see if they turn out. Lighting sorta sucked.

Did you keep the stache?
 
My friend in hospice passed tonight. I was lucky enough to chat with him last month one last time. I wrote him a letter and I believe he was still able to read it.

I am sad, but I'm happy he's not suffering anymore.

I know what you're feeling - I lost my very best friend last fall. He was in an accident and had been intubated - pulmonologist said he's likely need a permanent tracheotomy, and perhaps institutionalized. His sister and I agreed that this would most definitely not be what he wanted. They took him off the respirator, and 20 minutes later he was gone.
