Happy Thursday Everyone! not to whine on and on about the weather but....we're getting severe storm warmings coming across the tv for early this afternoon and more later this evening. The sky is getting dark so they are probably right
Meanwhile, the lawn crew is here zipping around getting grass mowed and I'm sure they will pack it up and leave quickly if it starts to look bad.
I spent part of my morning doing this and that for overnight company coming for the weekend. I'm looking forward to having company even though the preparation wears me out a bit. Gosh I miss the good old days when I was young and agile.
Today feels like Friday for some reason and I have to keep reminding myself it's not
What's going on in your little corner of the myLot world today?

You can remember the good old days??? 

You've got one up on me.
It is sunny here right now, I just went outside and took a nice walk.
My husband is picking up a nice calzone for our supper tonight-no cook Thursday.
We always get a large one, and we can get 3 portions out of it, one for each of us tonight and then 1 portion for a leftover meal for one of us-usually me.

@Marilynda1225 I dream of so many things from the good old days of my youth when I spend time with the twins. I remember the feel of the little gingham outfit that I had for my favorite doll and the way it felt to ride my bike outside when I wanted to go really fast and the breeze I felt, and swinging on the swing set we had at home.
But what I had for lunch today.......no clue.

I love calzones too and agree that they are big enough for leftovers.
Yes I remember the "good old days" but cant' remember what I had for lunch yesterday

Storms on the way here too..and of course I am expecting a delivery that hadn't arrived yet. It will probably come when it's storming
. Overnight company sounds fun.

We got some pretty bad storms but thankfully my area didn't get hit as hard as some other areas did.

It IS Friday as I read this. I do not see any storm signs but my body sure feels as if they are coming on. Like our other friend I have deliveries due, as well.

We had storm warnings and heavy clouds last night but no rain. I think you're getting the storms that skipped over my area. You can send it back if you want. We NEED the rain.
Our grass is mostly brown and crunchy looking. The only areas that are still green are right around our garbage can and under the trees in the back yard.
I've been slowly packing up for my 5 day hospital visit. I have my clothes packed and am adding "comfort" items to my duffle bag. (A pack of wet wipes for accidents, a jacket in case the hospital is chilly, I packed shorts and tank tops to wear around in the hospital with sandals, and who knows what all else I'll add to my duffle bag.)
I have a travel CPAP machine with it's own pack and will make sure I take my phone charging cord with me. I'm not planning on taking my laptop because I don't want it stolen up there. My phone has to go. If it gets stolen, I can replace it, not easily, but I've been saving money, just in case.
I have five days of my meds packed and in the duffle bag already. I'll take a package (2) of epi-pens, just in case...
I haven't been in the hospital this long since I was a kid, so I don't know if I should take stuff to eat after my morning meds or not. I take my meds at 5 am and 6 pm every day and have to eat a snack right after the morning meds or they make me throw up. Will I be able to get food at that time of the morning there or not? When I was only in the hospital for an allergic reaction, I was home again before I needed to take my morning meds, so didn't have to worry about it.
I'm babbling because I'm worried... Sorry about that.

I will be keeping you in my good thoughts (and prayers) for your hospital stay. Sounds like between you and Pretty you're pretty much set on what to bring. I'd definitely bring the overview of what you've been experiencing at home.

I hope the storms weren't too bad.
Have fun with your house guests this weekend. It would be nice to turn back the clock for energy.
Today is Friday. I hope you got it straightened out. I hate when I have the same day for a full week and finally get it straightened out when the day finally arrives. This week I'm lucky. I knew what day it was every day. Though because I was writing Sunday on Monday, that day felt off. I kept thinking I needed to be in church. Yes, I know how the mind plays with you, especially when you're retired and the only thing you do all day is crochet, drink coffee, and watch TV.
I hope you had your coffee this morning and the day woke up nice and fresh from a calm storm.
