Good morning everyone on this Tuesday morning June 1, 2021. Welcome to our Front Porch. We will be keeping this open as I am not able do much posting as I am having computer issues!
Hi to all Porch Peeps!
Storms rolled through on Thursday and Thursday night. I kept watching to see if my ceiling light leaked after my stepson caulked outside. He had moved the bed back so I was hoping I wouldn’t drown in my bed. 😮 Another storm flew through on Friday, so far so good for no leaks.
We are headed for an early heat wave starting today or tomorrow. Ugh…too early in June!
When I went to Fresh Market Friday, all signs to wear a mask were down…just a CDC poster for mask wearing advice. So I read it and went in without my mask. I was the only person in there without one! I felt naked.
Went out to breakfast with friends, some of whom I haven’t seen in way over a year. Wore a mask into the restaurant, and no one was wearing one except the workers….hard to gauge this mask wearing.
Already it's 88 and feeling like 90 at 1:00. Tomorrow more humidity.
Stay comfy and safe!
Happy June, Porch Peeps!
I hope you all had a nice holiday weekend.
I had my twice a year burger and thoroughly enjoyed it! 🍔
At least we had a decent day yesterday after all the cold and wind.
@LaDolceVita ...Glad you had some good weather and happy that Snoopy got to romp! 🐶
Stepson is coming up tomorrow morning to check out the leak and caulk for now.
Have a lovely week, Everyone!
Hey there Porchers!
Still most are masking when going into places around here.
It will take a while to get used to no masks. If the place still has the sign up, I'm not going to enter without one.
So...What a fun day today!
Started with my friend in NJ calling me by mistake, but telling me that the Fire Dept. was on its way because her outside outlet was smoking. All is OK, but she only has half the power in her house until a new breaker box is installed. (Why do things always happen on holiday weekends when no one is working?) So I go back to bed to do my exercises and a drop of water falls on my forehead! Earlier I thought I had spilled some coffee on my comforter, but now I knew it wasn’t coffee falling from the LIGHT FIXTURE! 😮
I moved my bed…luckily, being lazy, I had left those furniture mover slide things under the legs of my bed from the last time I had to change the ceiling light bulbs, so it wasn’t too hard to move the bed, but more than I should have done…what else could I do? Got the step ladder and removed the cover from the fixture…it had water in it. Rain has stopped for a while, so that is good, but it will start up again. I put a bucket under the fixture which has stopped leaking for now. I think the wind brought the rain under the flashing and that is what happened, but I will have to call my stepson on Tuesday to see what he wants to do since he will be renovating my bedroom soon.
It is so cold I had to turn the heat back on. Highs in the 40’s today… the fun just never stops!
Hope Everyone has a good holiday weekend! 🍉🌭🍔🇺🇸
Stay safe!
Good morning to everyone on the Front Porch! Our temperature is 42* with moderate winds and a chance of rain showers during the day.
For me it was that I woke up this morning to face another day!
Hi there Porchers,
@MsStretch, @RosemaryF433825 , @Anonymous ...I agree with those of you who are a bit timid on giving up the masks. We are not wearing a badge saying we are vaccinated, so who is and who isn't?
I have been to Starbucks drive through twice since I've been fully "vaxed," and the mask mandates changed. It felt weird after ordering not to put my mask on at the window, but it's like inching into cold water one toe at a time. I still wear a mask when I go into stores. Today at Fresh Market was the first time I saw the signs had been taken down and there was a new colorful poster about following CDC guidelines with pictures of masked and unmasked people. I didn't take the time to read the whole thing, but it was the first time I ever saw an unmasked shopper. Everyone else had on a mask, including of course, the employees.
At the birthday lunch I went to on Wednesday, we ate outdoors since the birthday person is under strict orders from her sister that there is no indoor dining for them yet. Luckily we had gorgeous weather. My friend still wore an N95 mask even though I had give her some cute flowered ones with filters for Christmas. We all had to hug before we got to the parking lot because of the sister waiting for my friend not allowing hugging either. I wasn't even allowed to pick up my friend and take her to lunch. The sister and her husband had to drop her off and pick her up. I do think they are taking this whole thing a bit far, but then again, to each his/her own. Just wish my friend hadn't been diagnosed with dementia, and is now under the control of her sister. 🙄
Anyway...I'm certainly looking forward to a summer of more social events than last summer. I hope you all are feeling safe enough to enjoy life as we used to know it (mostly). 😻
