The Coffee House-Come & Chat With Us!(May 2020)

[Val]

Ugh... Unghshu is sneezing, because the yeast seasoning that i frequently add to my salads, contains a lot of cayenne pepper too, and it has got into my nose! It's a new day over here, May 8th. Elijah has to come to our place again,- he'll proceed with the repairs. I gave mom the instructions of what she should buy for me at the country and pass to me with Elijah. I'm hoping to get at least some of it, because she's super stubborn. Liza told me yesterday, that mom had been doing some weird sh#t, so i'm not expecting a lot, but it would be great if she sends me tomatoes, green apples, pomegranate juice, lemonades and canned corn.
Yesterday, i didn't sleep the whole night, because legs hurt like a hell, - i fell asleep at 7.30 a.m., and got up at 11 a.m. I felt not so great, so i was lying around on bed, being half asleep. Then i fell asleep and slept for ~2 hrs. I woke up at 6.49 p.m., dressed up, put some pomegranate juice and liquid soap into my sack and headed out for a walk. I was wearing my winter coat, because it was chilly. I came back in time, because it had got dark, cold, windy and dull outside.
I hope that tomorrow, Elijah will take me to the 56th house on Machinery plant avenue (again, like he does, when he finishes his work), and i will get to the river quickly and also save some steps, because legs still hurt. I didn't take any pictures yesterday, but i did take some on May 5th and May 6th.

This rare duck breed has returned to our aquatory after 40 yrs of absence. I hope that tomorrow i will see more of them!

Morning/afternoon y'all! A cool start to the day here but will warm up to seasonal 80's. I am doing laundry this morning. This afternoon I will go over to Central 28 for a new beer release called "All Together" which proceeds are for charity. I may stop at Ollie's Bargain store to see what they have.

Spectacular morning here! I'm going to visit with Kelly shortly - and take her a carry out lunch!

Hi all!

I thought we were done with snow this spring, but no. It's snowing again.

 

[PTree15]

Hi Katrina! The weather this year has made little sense. We might get snow tonight, but it's not supposed to amount to much, thankfully.

Hi all!

I thought we were done with snow this spring, but no. It's snowing again.

I remember the time when I visited Montreal and Quebec city in June, and it was really cold.

 

[SuicideBlonde]

I woke up all full of allergies. My ears are ringing. It is a take pills and rest day.
My pizza job messaged me and said they have a check for me, from working and also a patron gave $100 to all out of work employees. How kind is that.
I forgot they remade escape to witch mountain. The original was kind of scary for a kids movie.

Edit. I guess they made one in 1995 and another with Dwayne Johnson in 2009. I put on the 2009 one.
Another edit. This is race to witch mountain not escape.

Good morning! Did I mention that my sister and I had a trip to Montana planned for next month? It’s been cancelled because of the coronavirus.

 

[Amy SF]

I need some good news. Too much bad news.

 

[SuicideBlonde]

I just want a special 40th birthday. That is not till August. I either wanted a party of go to the Keys. Hell, both if I had a good job.
Amy.

(((Hugs))). It sucks when trips get cancelled... (Not hard to guess that my trip to Armenia is cancelled too, and i seriously doubt that it will become possible within the next 2-3 years, as we can't be sure about our future income and about safety of any trips ...until i don't know when)...

 

[Chryssie]

Amy I remember you talking about your trip. It sucks and I hope you get to re-schedule. My "bucket list" trip to Big Cat Rescue was also cancelled and I am hoping we can go when they re-open to the public. Sorry about your trip too, Val. So disappointing for everyone!

 

[Val]

Blin, aeto lazha... (It sucks). I feel sorry for these citizens. The city of Nizhny Novgorod was flooded today (like the epidemic situation isn't enough)... This city is special to my ex-husband, because his grandma was from those places, and he used to go on vacations to Nizhegorodskaya area, to the country, and spend the whole summer at his grandma's place. Nevertheless, the city itself has population over 1252200 people. It stands upon mighty river Volga (i was lucky to see Volga several times), but it's significant that it wasn't the river that flooded everything: it was an idiotic, poorly constructed drainage system that caused the flooding and damage. In this video you can see the damage and rapid muddy streams that flow down from the hills. It's such a disgrace for the authorities that an average downpour caused such havoc. And it's only few streets which can be seen in the video,- the flooded area is much bigger. It won't be easy to restore everything in this pandemic situation.

Hi all!

I thought we were done with snow this spring, but no. It's snowing again.

Snowed here on/off all day! I wore my winter coat, luckily I caught the weather--it's cold!

 

[Chryssie]

I have been out and about. I went to pick up the new beer and then stopped at Ollie's where they had "hand sanitizer" which turned out to be bottles of alcohol made at a distillery! A 32 oz bottle was $10 which is outrageous but it will last a long time. I am going to make a mixture with some aloe gel to put in small bottles to be portable. They also had boxes of masks but they were $40! I don't remember how many were in the box. I did get some vegan protein powder for $10 which was a bargain.
It is very warm here, upper 80's. The weather is weird which is becoming the norm.

Here the drugstores have hand santitizer kept at the checkout counters. Most people don't know, but I did see a sign at Walgreens, and talk on the neighborhood board
I ordered a box of 50 masks from Newegg.com for $35. They have several, I looked for the reviews that said they were larger then most. My company gave 5 to everyone, but they're too small, so if you move your chin at all, which I seem to do a lot, it comes off the nose. It's really a farce, but they say they're doing "everything they can"

 

[Chryssie]

I am thinking that TJ Maxx will give us masks when we open, at least I hope they will provide them. I hate the cloth masks I have made. I can't breathe or see very well. Glasses complicate things.

 

[SuicideBlonde]

I think I will go get my check at about 7. I need to get gas, as I pulled in last week on E. I just wanted to gt home. Then to ATM and maybe a wine shop. I don't have a mask. I should. I just don't have one. I have been so lazy today.
Or maybe I will pick stuff up tomorrow.
