My upcoming Tuesday-Thursday trip, barring a miracle, is a goner. The "good" news is, I went through DL's last meltdown in 2016. And knew their beyond ancient IT system would be a disaster. Booked a backup on AAnother Airline. Delta has had 1205 cancellations/1709 delays. American-76 cancelled/1605 delays. At least I have chance 🫰🙏 Fortunately, both of N's Delta flights were only delayed by about an hour. She had built in a very long connection time, so she was still OK.

Wilfrid Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 I suspect a gout attack in one of my small toes, which is weird, but gives me an opportunity to visit my dear and lovely podiatrist. I am wondering if I will find her pregnant because I know she was trying, an indication of the really unusually close relationship I have with my podiatrist. Roads not taken.

Wilfrid Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 Yes, if only Ana was a New York-based podiatrist or Dr Gabby was a member of Hinds it would all be easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephanieL Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 My boss has COVID. I haven't seen her in person in 7 days and I'm feeling OK, but I'm still not out of the woods yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voyager Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Fingers crossed for you. Add that the latest version is rampant in NorCal. I halfway joke that I know more people with recent cases than those who've escaped the bullet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maison rustique Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 (edited) I had half of my beautiful home grown tomato left so decided to make a BLT for supper last night. My bacon from the freezer had been in there too long--freezer burn. I went ahead and used it. Bacon was dreadful, bread was stale and I felt like I wasted that wonderful tomato. Harumph. Edited to say that I am going to clean out the freezers this week! Edited August 5 by maison rustique more info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilfrid Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 After three heatwaves (official!) I spent money on my AC situation. I sit here tonight, AC off, quite cold and wondering about a sweater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sneakeater Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 This year was sort of unprecedented for me because I somehow motivated myself to buy ACs for my new apartment before the first heatwave. Even just typing it, I can't believe I did that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad I made the choice I did not to have one. I'd say one to take care of me in my old infirm age would be nice, but I don't think you can count on that, so I'll muddle through.

I put a heavy comforter back on the bed last night. And I don’t see any plausible beach days left in the calendar as I have a couple of trips coming up. I have almost forgotten how very hot…it was.

Wilfrid Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 Of course. I am just griping that I got mine installed around the end of the last heatwave which means I could have waited for next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
