YIKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I shop when the stores first open so there usually isn't anybody even on line when I check out. The last time somebody got a bit close I turned around and said can you please back up. In return the person said I'm sorry and was a good 12 feet back. The early birds tend to be the most careful from what I'm hearing
I'm giving myself a few more days to think about it, but pretty sure I will be getting one. I know the cheap ones don't stay slippery for too long, but if I decide after a week that I no longer enjoy this...$50 won't hurt my feelings as much. I just remember it being a ridiculously good thigh workout and helped with core toning. I need all the help I can get right now.
I bought him a shuffleboard table. From what I'm reading, it's a lighter one too! We've always wanted to fill in the empty space in our bar area with something fun. Shuffleboard was one of his top choices, but he always thought the tables were too big. Regulation size for tournaments are way too big, but proper tables come as small as 9'. Even cheap ones aren't cheap, so I was going to scrap the gift idea. A day later, just before Black Friday, I went into a local sporting goods store for something softball related. On the same aisle as the softball gear, they had a shuffleboard table for sale and it was and was marked down 50% off. I've been on this aisle countless times and it's usually just baseball and softball gear. I took it as a sign.
I think my step thingy may be a bit off I've had it on for less than an hour and it said I did 2400 steps and all I was doing was cooking
Last time I made a rum cake like that it was swimming but the recipe I had called for it to sit for at least a week like a fruit cake. Good luck
Maybe? Not to mention to the pantry and cooling racks in the dining room

I checked it vs my dh's on the other arm for a couple of hours. They matchedSounds like a keeper to me!!
The other good news is everything is prepped as much as it can be for tomorrow
Well, only a couple of hours until 2021....we're only allowed to have 2 people visit, and fireworks are banned (except for the really small things like sparklers), and I can hear the neighbors around the block with massive illegal fireworks, and what sounds like quite a few people. It's been going on for quite a while, so the police are apparently not too worried about enforcing the rules. And I'm betting that in a couple weeks, we're going to see a huge surge of cases again, and they aren't starting to vaccinate until January 8th now, starting with nursing home personel and residents.
Well, according to my doctor, it's bursitis. I'm really not sure, though the couple of times I got an injection, it did help a lot, but it's never gone away completely. It's always there, and if I walk too much, too fast, or move wrong, I get an excruciating pain that feels like my hip is going to break and it freezes. If I step wrong, I get stuck for a few seconds. It feels like...you know how it's like a ball and socket? It feels like the ball is in a wonky position and is grinding against the socket. Like, if you get the bolt wrong in a nut and it gets stuck and won't turn? That's what it feels like it's doing. I have to wait for a second for the pain to abate, and then slowly slide my leg and kind of turn it because I can't stand up straight. When I was pregnant with E, I had what they called "pelvic instability" and that never quite went away...it's been painful for me to stand up after I've been sitting down for a while ever since. If I've been sitting down to dinner, for example, it always takes a minute or two before I can actually walk normally. Then a few years ago, I went to go down the stairs and I took a step and there was a popping sensation in my right hip, a horrible pain (I screamed) and I had to sit down. I couldn't get up. The doctor thought I had torn a muscle, but after 3 weeks, it wasn't better. So I went back and that's when he said it was an infection in the bursa. He gave me an injection and it felt better for a month or two, but came back, so I got another injection....that must have been in 2015, because we went to Disney in 2016 and I had heard you could only get 3 injections, and I was waiting for the 3rd one if I needed it before we went to Disney. The initial injury was in October, then the 2nd shot was January or Feb. of 2016. I was mostly fine after that shot, just had to be careful not to walk too fast or too long. I took a LOT of breaks at Disney. Then last January I had to get another shot because I was having trouble walking again. Sometimes I have bouts of it where it's painful for a few weeks, but if I take it easy, it gets better. But I definitely feel it if I overdo it, usually at work. Since work is mostly walking, and usually at a pretty good pace, it can get really bad toward the end of a shift. If I've done too much, it freezes on me when I try to sit down or lift up my leg. So that's what happened Tuesday night...I overdid it at work, and then couldn't get my leg in the car without lifting it up with my hands. Then after sitting in the car, it was too stiff to move....I couldn't stand up straight and couldn't move that leg. I had to shuffle along to get into the house. It was fine after a night's sleep...or as fine as it ever is. Like I said, it never goes completely away. It's always a little painful, but mostly I'm so used to it that it doesn't bother me much. But in the last year or so, the pain also radiates to my tail bone, which is what makes me doubt it's bursitis, but when I went to the doctor in January and explained that it hurt in my tailbone now more than in my hip, he still said it's the bursa, he gave me an injection, and I could walk again.
That's what it's like here, too. I swear I am the only person worried about distancing. No one else seems to bother. At the grocery store, it's required to use a cart, which is supposed to help with distancing because you have a cart in between you. But this morning, I went to the grocery store, and the first thing that happened was there was a cart parked in front of the tomatoes, so I had to bump it out of the way to get to them, then while I was getting the tomatoes, the cart user walked back to his cart, put something in it, then parked it somewhere else and went to get something else. Then around the corner in a different aisle, a lady was just walking right down the aisle with no cart, standing right next to other people. Her cart was parked the next aisle over! People won't do things that they feel are inconvenient, even to help save lives...I don't think it really reaches their brains, if you know what I mean. They just aren't thinking about the fact that it's life or death for some people. They aren't worried about their OWN health and don't even think about anyone else's. They think how inconvenient it is for THEM, not how awful it will be for someone else...they figure they'll deal with it if they catch it, but they don't think about the fact that they could already have it and give it to someone and they will never know that they actually caused someone's death, so it doesn't seem real to them because they aren't faced with the consequences. They can't see who they are affecting, or how many...it's just numbers on the news, not people they know and care about.
Sounds like a keeper to me!!
