Good morning Mad 😊 hope everyone feels better soon :hugs
Thank you! :hugs
Good grief, how is anyone supposed to know what's going on. :rolleyes:

But sounds like you're covered!
:) right? Thankfully.
:frow Good morning Mad, do the best you can to have the best day possible. Hope the colds pass quickly and sorry you had to deal with the mis-direction :hugs:hugs
:hugs thank you.
Starting Sept. 20, vaccinated students, staff and Faculty will have to get a rapid covid test every two weeks. Not vaccinated every 4 days. It is a spit test and results are available online within 24 hours.
Oh wow, they're still requiring tests even if you're vaccinated? 😬 at least testing has improved, doesn't go as far back.
I bought a box of 20 N95 masks for when the wind changes and the smoke is back here again.

I was getting dizzy last week!
Thinking of getting some, too.
 
It looks like California fires are heading to the East Coast again!
"Experimental Smoke Forecast"

I don't think I like the idea of "experimental smoke"
What are they putting in it as an experiment? ;)

Man, from the looks of it Lake Tahoe is a really sucky place to be at the moment!

We have an air quality alert today, the smoke here is awful :(
You can thank Ron for it!

Gonna be doing a lot of driving this week
Sure sounds like it, good thing you are young.
Did you manage to keep ahold of your cookies on the coasters?

Oh wow, they're still requiring tests even if you're vaccinated?
Sad but given even vaccinated people can get the damned Delta variant AND transmit it, I think it is a good idea.

Testing is not required now for those vaccinated. That will start on Sept. 20th. Un vaccinated are tested every 4 days.

The biggest part of the forecast is showing which fire is sending smoke to your area.
 
Good morning everyone :)

The cold made it's way into our house last week. I am convinced it was the "summer cold". Kept the kids home, got us tested (negative) at a location the school recommended. Protocols are changing faster than anyone can keep up. Kids and I have a productive cough, feels like the last stretch of this cold. Called one of the schools.... they claim our test was a rapid test, might need to get retested - even after explaining it wasn't but it was a place they told me to go. Called the other school, they had no clue rapid tests weren't accepted and said just to keep them posted on the return.
I am trying to stay uplifted but this lack of solid direction is annoying 🤯

He loves to bake with my mom. I have less patience for the mess but I tried yesterday :)
DH said there was a bit of our L.O. in every muffin...with all the finger-licking and re-touching batter :lol:
It's good though! We didn't get to the topping but it still turned out good.

LOL :gig I like that one!
Hope you all feel better soon. :hugs

Don't you love it when things are made much harder than they need to be?!
 
I now have 3 bantams nesting in trees! 🤦‍♀️

And 2 broody Araucana hens! Our old ones never went broody.

1 Araucana is being rather bossy and grumpy. The other is very quiet and I actually thought she was dead when I saw her slumped in the nestbox. At the time the kids were with me and I didn't want to draw attention to the fact that she could possibly be dead, so we went back to the house and I quietly slipped out again with a plastic bag to put her in. I grabbed her tail to haul her out of the box and it went through my mind that she was still warm. Then she growled at me. 🤣
 
Good morning all!
I hope you do get tested Janie.

Had our weekly Zoom with my So. Cal family tonight. Seems my sister's ex sister-in-law has a case of breakthrough Covid. Doesn't know where she got it but the doctor told her she'd be in the hospital or worse if she had not been vaccinated.
I don't know, thus far, I've just been too weak, to make a 30 minute drive to get tested. I'm still sniffling this morning and it's been over a week since I've felt well.
I found a comparison chart, and honestly, I think I may have a bad cold, although I have had fever, chills, headache, and aches. I've had a cough too, but a wet cough, not dry. Oh my goodness, I'm sounding like a hypochondriac!🤪
I miss coffee in the mornings, but it just tastes awful. I probably should give it up completely, since I get about 300 calories a day from added cream. 😁

I'm counting my blessings. I'm in a lovely and peaceful place, with good air quality. My children and grands, are all safe and happy.
Nowadays, you can't ask for much more.
Have a great day everyone!

Too funny about the "dead" hen Jae :gig

Hi Janie, love the last bit of your post...counting blessings is important! Hope you're feeling 100% soon.
