Just wandered in for tea and cookies.
Life goes on. COVID is making for busy days at work, but it could be worse. May be working from home eventually, but we don't seem to have hit that point yet.
I have been doing some writing but not for here as of yet. That may come. My winter drought seems to be ending at any rate.
Take care.

At least we can gather here and not have to worry about passing on anything nasty.
Hope all are well. Looks like it is going to be a rough spring for sports fans as various leagues suspend activities due to Covid-19. Mercifully, other than keeping an eye on our local Junior A hockey team, I am not one of those. At least Netflix and others of its ilk are available and seem to be rolling out plenty of new content. Best way to survive self-quarantine/isolation, I would suggest.
Glad to hear you're better, Sara.
Damn, 3 years already since DirtyMartini passed away. Time flies.
Take care, Sara. Strep is nasty. My son used to get a lot of strep throat when he was younger. Hasn't had it in quite a few years now.

28 cases, all confirmed, in Ontario but most are in the Toronto area so well away from me. We had one here but she was the third in the province and has long since been declared recovered and virus-free. All cases in Ontario have been traced to overseas outbreaks. No community transmission yet.
Good morning. Coffee and kettle are on, and there's fresh baked goods for those needing a carb fix.
Done deal required much negotiation.
Hi Sara. Friday is winding down and the weekend looms.
Cool Ape story of the day: Yesterday on my way to work, Ape, Jr. texts me asking me to tell his mother to watch for a delivery (I have no idea why he didn't email her). I was puzzled. There was no special occasion like a birthday or anniversary happening. Finally at dinner time, Forest of Flowers delivers a lovely vase of roses and baby's breath. The card says that he realized while doing housework how much she had done for him and he wanted to thank her. You know, if you'd heard the two of them going at it when he was in high school, you'd never expect something like this. Apparently, we did something right in his upbringing.
Rick and Morty.
Vampires or Zombies?
Sara is the cookie fairy. There's no other explanation.
Kettle's on, coffee's brewing. Hot beverages are the order of the day. Whatcha having?
Tea and cookies! Yay!
* carefully eats cookie over a napkin so as not to mess up the floor *
Nice weather here right now. Cool still, but sunny and no precip.
Hi, Gill. Sounds like you're having fun with your remodel. Hope it goes well. My tubs are both on the small side. We could have done a big one in the en suite but Mrs. Mendalla didn't think we needed it since neither of us uses tubs much. At this point, I think we are going to hold off on any major reno. Retirement looms for both of us and we are empty nesters now so may just spruce up what we have to make it more marketable in the event we sell. There's a non-zero chance Little M might move further afield once he graduates (he's already about 6-8 hours away) and Mrs. M wants to be close, esp. if he eventually has kids. Being a doting Grandma is on her wishlist.
Anyhow, coffee is brewing, kettle is on, and I picked up some muffins and pastries for the breakfast bar. And, of course, there's always Sara's cookie jars if you just want a snack.
Vibes to those affected by the twisters in Tennessee (though I must say, Tennessee Twisters sounds like some kind of fifties rock'n roll band or something).
Hope it's a quieter night tonight for all.
Putting on a pot of camomile tea for those trying to get settled. And, of course, scarfing some cookies.
Oh, this is really just like a break room at an office. Whoever needs coffee makes it. Ditto boiling the kettle. The only rule is there must, absolutely must, be mini-marshmallows. You don't want to see Sara when she can't them for her hot chocolate. The last time it happened ... yeah, we don't talk about it anymore.
Kettle's on. Anyone else for tea, hot chocolate, instant oatmeal, or anything else requiring water at the boiling point?
Shovelled, shopped, got some of my taxes done. Still missing some slips but the deadline to send them was yesterday so some may still be en route.
I think I shall have a pumpkin cookies with my green tea.
For being a dastardly, mustache-twirling villain, of course.
A bit chilly for walking here but I know dogs don't seem to see things the same way we do. My old beagle Bowser (RIP) used to go rooting in snowbanks with his snout in weather that was turning my extremities blue.
