Cuz it's FRIDAY, FRIDAY, FRIDAY

Re: Cuz it's FRIDAY, FRIDAY, FRIDAY
I would really like it if POTUS was actually accepting and understanding of how our democracy works.
You know it's crazy times when I need to consult with HR about a stupid cold, lol.
It's my half day, so I only have a couple more hours left. I'm laying low all weekend since I'm sick and don't want to expose other people to my cold.
Other than that, not much going on with me. I spoke to a lender yesterday about the refi's I need to get done. It looks promising. I actually spoke to this same person last year when I did the original loan. I had been impressed...wish I'd gone with them, lol...and still am. He's running my credit today to see what kind of terms he can offer and just solidify they can (probably) do the loan.
Maybe I’m just too frustrated but our positivity rate was 8.16% yesterday. We’re not going to do any indoor Thanksgiving (and I had bought baby M a super adorable first thanksgiving outfit) because of the rise of cases. It just sucks that people are no longer taking it seriously here. NY did so well through the late summer that I’m pissed at everyone who is dropping their guard and doing small parties because they think it’s fine. It’s not fine!!
Sorry for the rant but it’s getting to me today how selfish people are being about this. We all want this to be over but gathering inside even with people you trust is spreading the virus!
Thankfully my company announced yesterday we’re WFH until April 5. At least.
We stayed up to watch the Colts WIN. It was such a sweet victory after the loss to Baltimore and because all the pregame talking heads were against us.
Rumor has it we're supposed to get some sort of email from the school district today. My gut is telling me it's going to some word salad about how they're concerned, but probably not planning to go to virtual or hybrid.
Tomorrow, we're supposed to go to an outdoor thing for boy scouts and then we'll probably just hang at home. Sunday, I think DH is going to smoke two pork shoulders.
Our company hasn't announced anything about WFH in 2021 but I can't imagine we'll be back in the office anytime soon.
@short+sassy I hope you feel better soon and your test in negative!
I can't imagine the expense and hassle that is, but kudos to that school district for keeping people as safe as possible.
M’s dad is still in the hospital so I doubt I’ll see him this weekend. Bummer. I have nothing planned, so maybe clean out my guestroom for my bowflex that should be arrriving anytime from now to 2025.
I'm really tired of people trying to find the one quack doctor who deviates from Fauci and other respected epidemiologists to say, "Well not all are agreed on the science."
No, but the ones that aren't assholes are!

edit, just took a looksie and it looks like you like colour pop! Just placed an order with them yesterday after
seeing Bailey’s video with making mauves!!!
I don't have any plans for the weekend. I don't even know what covid is doing here. One of my BFFs wanted to come into town for the weekend to just be with me, but they're going on some trip with their father (I'm floored it's still happening) and so doesn't want to break quarantine. I haven't been doing much on the weekends anyway recently, so no big change. I'll just keep cleaning and separating, I guess.
Sorry, I'm definitely an eeyore.
one of my faves - I make it every year! It's a pretty good dupe of Trader Joes Salted almond bark thins. I usually used salted almond (bc salty chocolate is my fave). It calls for sliced almonds, but I use whatever I have and just chop or use the food processor a bit if necessary.
I'm not sure how Thanksgiving will shake out. DS2 will definitely be here since he has lived on and off with us during quarantine and doesn't see anyone when he isn't here. DD and her family have been in our bubble too but who knows. DS1 & DIL were still planning on being here as of yesterday morning but that could change. They don't go out either since they are WFH and are extremely cautious. I'm planning on them all being here but will understand if only DS2 actually come.
Good vibes to all who have had to be tested. Prayers for negative results!
What did you gettttt
Anything is possible which is why I am being extra careful. I haven't left the house in the last three days, except to go get the drive-thru COVID test on Wed. But I'm also 99.99% sure it's a cold. This is my annual playbook for when the weather changes but my work place leaves the a/c on for weeks too long.
It's such a difference in how my company has handled things versus so many others on the subject of WFH. I've been pleasantly surprised there hasn't been an outbreak at my work! Especially since they had us come back in mid-May. There are about 100 of us on my floor. All my coworkers wear masks when they are in common areas, even though we aren't required to (eyeroll). Not a doubt in my mind that mask wearing has been the biggest factor that has kept people safe. There's my anecdotal evidence on the importance of wearing a mask around those who are not in your bubble.
Though I think here in NOLA, most people in office jobs have come back to work by now. Downtown traffic is almost back to pre-pandemic levels. But, overall, our infection and hospitalization rates have been going down. I know that isn't true in most of the country and keep waiting for the other shoe to drop.
Speaking of people being selfish and reckless, there was a big incident last weekend and our mayor is incensed. Some religious group wanted to have a big musical festival and applied for a permit. They were denied because...yeah...no outdoor events with more than 100 people allowed. They came into town and threw their event anyway in a public area of the French Quarter. The mayor is trying to hunt down the organizers and file charges against them.
Costco sent me an e-mail that they are selling at-home, self administered COVID tests now. But they are $125!
Looking forward the weekend, though. We'll probably do a hike with the pup, write some postcards, and do a fire. I'm really excited to do nothing for a while.
My office announced WFH at least until 3/31 this week, H's to June. We both got sent home in mid-March, so we will be home for at least a year.
anyway I’m going back on the pill.
@short+sassy healthy vibes!
I have a gel glitter idk what I'm gonna use for but I LOVE their forth ray skin care stuff! Their BFD oil cleanser I never thought I'd love but it's great when taking off makeup

@ILoveBeachMusic were the state run testing sites booked? It is so confusing figuring out where people can go and which ones need a referral or not, what is free, etc.
BUT! What appeals visually to you more - these are for sugar, oats, etc. Mostly will be in cupboard but we're not entirely sold on not having glass {even frosted} doors where these would be

To be fair, I was hoping for one in my blue {think Tiffany's blue - there's only muted blue options}
I kinda like them all {maybe marble more?}
