Crone Cronies - My Brain Has Too Many Tabs Open. 8/1

[sciencelady]

The Cronies is a place for women who are mature in age or attitude. The group is highly diverse in that we have ages ranging from 30s to 60s, some are moms, some are single, some are teachers/professors, and some have jobs and work outside the home and some don’t. We do our own thing and are happy when life doesn’t get in the way too often. Some are training for a marathon, some don’t even do vids, you get the picture.

Life and exercise are what we report. A thread is started every Sunday. Some report every day, others whenever they can.

Bottom line: we are a diverse group and very supportive of each other’s goals. Oh, and we’re funny as heck. If you’d like to join us, just come on down.

Good morning!

I'm glad Laura made up some titles for this thread - definitely better than my brain working at this time of day .

I enjoyed my friend's performance at the play last night - today I'll be going to a circus show with some friends. I did wear a mask yesterday for the show and likely will today also. Other than that, walk Gus this morning before the show! We'll be going out for dinner after the show.

Laura, I think I do an equal amount of typing on the board (for this group especially), but otherwise just reading stuff that a good thumb would work - no mouse provided though. I'm glad you're enjoying your hair cut - mine's so fine that growing it out would barely cover my scalp.

Paula, Yeah, Gus missing out on the weasel saved my shoulder also . The macaroni salad I bought had a vinaigrette dressing - macaroni twists, mozzarella cheese, some chopped veggies and LOTS of garlic! I did try to stay away from meats as many of my coworkers were vegetarians.

Waves to all!

It should be a lazy morning. This afternoon, we're going over to Mom and Dad's for dessert and to hang out. Other than that, I'm not sure what I'll get into.

Anita - Thanks for getting us started. I think the team effort is a good thing. Coming up with themes is easy for me and I appreciate you getting in here early on Sundays to get us started. I recently was considering "fun facts" that might make good themes. I'll come out with a new list in the next week or two.

Paula - Yeah, I understand feeling uncertain about upcoming trips. We felt that about the trip to California when all we heard on the news was about how dire things were there. When you booked, it seemed that things were going back to normal and who could forsee the turn it all took?

Good evening. Workout this morning was Travis Eliot Yin Yoga Happy Hips and a neighborhood walk with DH.

Anita, thanks for getting us started. How fun to see your friend in the musical. I've been craving macaroni salad lately. Not sure why I don't break down and make it - I prefer the vinaigarette dressing. Maybe I should just buy some at a deli. Give Gus a pat for me.

Laura, I hope when you got to California you felt comfortable and safe. We have started wearing masks in stores again. We were discussing this morning what would we do if one of us tested positive when we do the rapid test on Friday. Guess everything would change in an instant.

Good morning!

Planning on walking Gus and Spades game for today, but I'll have a video meeting with my professional buddies this morning. The official meeting was to be in Minneapolis, but it's been changed to an online Zoom meeting instead. I was going to take advantage of having the national meeting here in town, but now I can participate from home - at least I'll shower and wear good clothes .

Laura, thanks for coming up with more titles!

Paula, yup, for me, picking up from the deli beats trying to make something here in my kitchen! Frankly I like picking up something prepared instead of buying 5 spices, three veggies, shredding cheese, and boiling noodles and using oil and vinegar to bind it all together! I'd have too many shreds of leftovers from making this in my storage. Gus likes your pat .

Waves to all!

We had a lazy morning. This afternoon, I'll take DH to the chiropractor. And I'll try to get the laundry done I should have started this morning. I didn't sleep long enough last night and I'm tired.

Anita - Hope your online meeting goes well. If Gus likes them, give him a pat from me, too.

Paula - Yeah, we felt pretty safe. The reality is never as bad as the news media makes it seem. I hope you don't have to figure out what to do because you'll both be COVID-free.
