I played with a round with ltc when we were in Cape Cod and did horribly. So I’m out. If TCG wants to play he can feel free.

Four adults and our scores ranged from 36 to 66! And we were sober. The guys had a host of excuses, but Lana and I just accepted that we didn't bowl well. A good time was had by all.

I did far better when I wasn’t sober the year before.

Timelies!

All pretty tasty although I am not used to sangria including vodka or rum or whatever. Anyway, lying down now.

sangria tradtionally involves brandy, so can have quite a kick.

The Covid instances among the vaccinated is very concerning.

Yep, just got it for the first time. Vaxxed and (single) boosted. Don’t mean to sound like a Republican, but it is currently presenting as a general cold. Sinus headache, runny nose. Treatable with acetominophen and psuedoephedrine.

Wish me luck on the house hunt, gang!

Mad house~ma!

I just got a quote for reupholstering one of the couches and it is stupid expensive.

Upholstering is crazy, but worth it if the furniture has good bones. Yes, you can sometimes buy new furniture for cheaper, but it’s crap.

I did far better when I wasn’t sober the year before.

I also bowl better with a few beers. Probably because I dislike bowling in general, and if I’ve had a beer or two, I’m not bowling, I’m drinking with friends and occasionally throwing a ball at some sticks.

The plumber has finally left, ltc is with her grandparents, and TCG is still at work. I actually have the house to myself!

Hey Vortex! Sorry about the Covid, but if it means more chill time to visit here that's cool.

Yes, bowling is improved with alcohol if only for the not caring about the gutter percentage.

Random construction update. The view of the foundation from the sides of the camp were super scary so the crew tore up the floorboards of my front porch to see how bad it was going to be and how involved to deal with it. After tearing stuff out they put a level on the beams and dead level. The chances of this happening in a wood house nearly 100 years old is pretty close to zero. Bottom line, isn't going to be that extensive a project to fix the broken stuff. Still have to secure it all, but they don't have to do a bunch of jacking to level things out.

eta: Woo! Make yourself a tasty treat and enjoy some junk tv!

That sounds good Laura!

Vortex sorry you have been felled! I’m very much wondering because I saw a study of hospital workers (who test regularly!) and it said based on antibodies 40% of the people who had omicron had no idea. So maybe I have had covid??

I feel bowling is like pool—a drink or two may loosen me up a little, and get better, until another drink or two makes me worse again!!

I'm vaxxed but not boosted.

Gave M his covid test and it turned positive almost immediately which makes me wonder if I did something wrong or it's just really really positive.

Sj sorry the party didnt' turn out the way you were hoping

Did play with some stencils/stamping today on some gelli prints so that was nice.

I'm about to start making some beef and vegetable soup and once that is simmering away I'm going to run to the store to get some decongestant and tissues since that seems to be needed around here.

That sounds good Laura!

The head construction guy was nearly in tears. He was sure it was going to be swiss cheese under the house. It was cute to see how happy he was to have a good surprise under the floorboards.

Gave M his covid test and it turned positive almost immediately which makes me wonder if I did something wrong or it's just really really positive.

Nope - positive. False negatives are far more common. I'm sorry.
