Wow, 2000 pages! This is so funny.  Earlier I said to myself I have to clean out my fridge. I have a tube of tomato paste way in the back of one shelf.  I have no idea when I used it last!  🤔

 

I cleaned out my Mom's refrigerator this week.  I filled a white kitchen garbage bag of rotten food and expired condiments.  She had apples that I had given her after we went apple picking in September and mustard that expired in 2016! 😱🤢

It's funny, while reading all this talk about texts and emails about hacked accounts, I got a text from Bank of America asking if I had used my credit card for the following three transactions.  My DH was at Home Depot and was buying stuff for us and stuff for my Mom.  He had done the purchases in two different transactions because she tries to overpay us when we don't have a separate receipt.  They declined the second transaction and only authorized it once I confirmed it was real.  

Same here.  While reading here an email came in saying I am flying on May 22. It was our TA 😂 Sharon.  I ran to the other room where she was and said, we cruise May 13th.  Then she pointed out it was the flight back home and we are spending a couple extra days in Seattle!  She was on the phone with Southwest for almost 2 hours trying to work through the vouchers they gave us for the mess we went through in October.

Sharon really likes watching curling too.  She lived awhile in North Dakota where she learned to like it.

I started watching it last Olympics.  My neighbor at the time was watching it also.  In the middle of the night she and I would be texting each other while it was on.  Our husbands had already gone to bed.

You didn't "ramble" at all. Keep us informed as much as you would like to. I get concerned that my asking questions may seem like prying.

Not prying at all, it is nice to have people to talk with who are interested and sometimes very informative.  We see the doctor Monday at 11.

We are on board Celebrity summit, for our rock and romance cruise, yesterday left Dallas when temperature was in 20’s landed in 80 degrees in Miami. Lots of hassles boarding, even though we did Covid test on Thursday when we arrived at port we were told everyone needs another rapid test , this caused a hour delay in boarding, then we were supposed to be escorted on the ship , again miscommunication between celebrity staff and charter employees, this caused another delay , but now we are in our suite and happy, concierge manager remember us from edge in July . Internet is super slow will post pictures when I can, going to see Foreigner in a hour then dinner in suite restaurant. 

Glad you made it safely on board.  Did you get a reason why everyone had to be tested again?  That would make us nervous even if we were tested on Thursday.

 

Today and tomorrow high 60s.  Monday 80 degrees, Tuesday 70 and Wed., 36.  Such is our crazy TX weather.  You must be glad you're out of

 

Have a relaxing, fun cruise.

Nothing rotten or stinky in my fridge.  I just checked that tube of tomato paste and it expires July '22.  Every so often I take everything out and wipe the shelves and sides down.  Then I put everything back very neatly which stays that way for a short time.  I never found a good way to store empty Tupperware containers.  Can't fit all inside the other.  Different sizes and different shapes.

Sharon has been watching.  When she has been watching I watched some.  I used to really get into the Olympics but not this time.  Not really sure why.  

Same here,  we watched some curling, bobsledding, snowboarding and ski jumps.  I used to love watching the Olympics and put them on every night or weekend but this year whenever I do tune in I'm not into it.

My daughter loves to go through the refrigerator and toss all the expired stuff so I don’t have to!

 

I went through her food cabinets too.  That was three white kitchen bags of stuff that was expired or left open and stale.

 

I got her all organized, with all like things in one row, in date order.  Hopefully, this will help her not overbuy because she doesn't know what she has.  

 

This all started because she wasn't feeling well.  We weren't sure if she had a little stroke or what, as she is a feisty 84 year old who still drives and is very independent, but she was a shadow of herself.  Its been a crazy ten days but looks like she is back to her normal self for now.

Did your part of PA get a snow squall warning a few minutes ago ?

We had loud piercing alarms on our cell phones stating that certain parts of NY and PA were getting the warning.

Yes, we did get the warnings on our phones  then about 10 minutes later the squall came through.   Basically looked like a blizzard for about 10 or 15 minutes.   Then sun came out and snow quickly melted.

Did you get any squall in your area?

Thank goodness she is better.  She may have had a mini stroke, keep an eye out.  

 

She has been to the doctors a couple of times in the last ten days plus two different rounds of bloodwork.  She wasn't eating well and Valentine's Day was the anniversary of her sister dying from covid.  We are watching her very closely, as are her friends in her building.  I have been up to NH everyday except the two my sister went.  My Mom threw me out yesterday and said have a good weekend and don't come back until Monday lol, so that is actually a good sign. 😄
