Me too! I love an underdog. Clevelanders don’t hate the Bengals as much as the Steelers, and I think Ohio pride allows an exception to root for them in the Super Bowl. My aunt passed away a couple weeks ago and my uncle has been really depressed - he’s a big Bengals fan so it’s a nice bright spot for him. Also, hi. Everything is a lot right now.

Anyone else in the path of the oncoming storm? We're supposed to get absolutely pounded starting later tonight.

Good news on the vaccine front those of you with the real little ones. That seems like definitely good news for parents of babies/toddlers under 2 since really it looked from the initial data like even 2 doses resulted in goid protection for that age group and it didn't make sense that they didn't apply for authorization for at least that age group back at that time! For 2-4 year olds, I guess it's good since if they are going to need 3 doses it's good to get started ASAP especially since there may be a longer interval between 2nd and 3rd doses. But really I'm confused about why they are sticking with that teeny dose and hoping the 3rd dose will make a big difference instead of trying a bit higher dose. I thought tbe trials with kids tested a few different doses, but there hasn't been anything in the news coverage about what happened with other doses. Or where things are at with a possible kids vaccine from moderna. Hopefully what's happening now is the best plan, but I'd feel a lot better about it with more explanation about why. Overall the news coverage on this (and info sharing from experts) has been pretty sucky and limited and I'm finding that frustrating. And it seems unlikely that anywhere near enough people will get their kids vaxxed without a whole lot better messaging. ETA- grateful for YLE/Katelyn Jetelina (sp?) - she wrote exactly the article I was looking for!

Anyone else in the path of the oncoming storm? We're supposed to get absolutely pounded starting later tonight. Good luck with it! Are you supposed to get ice too or all snow? I'm not sure if it's the same system - maybe - but we are supposed to get freezing drizzle tomorrow then warm up a lot more and get rain Thursday changing ice then snow Thurs night. Messy yuck; rain in the winter is the worst especially when after a big snow (so lots around to melt onto the roads, plus to block storm drains) and when then also followed by temps dropping back down to well below freezing. But then again the forecasted low temp for tonight is 14 and it's only 5 degrees now a bit before 7 pm, so 🤷...maybe they'll be wrong about where the rain/snow line ends up too?

Then a foot of snow. It's started as rain that will sure freeze. Super fun times.

I haven't watched the news today. We're getting buried. A foot of snow so far on top of the ice. The snow has stopped for a bit, but it's supposed to start up again soon. The state has flat out said it's not going to be plowing tonight and that roads are impassable. H stayed home because he wasn't sure he could get to work safely. He did try, but turned around quickly. Which I'm thankful for. Basically, we've gotten slammed, but we're all home safe, so we're just riding it out.

scotty I haven’t seen any Instagram posts from you. Are you doing OK? Thanks for checking in. I'm okay. J's birthday is next week and I've been struggling. My Dr adjusted my meds but being stuck at home in subzero temperatures was getting really hard. Dh arranged for my parents to take the kids this week and booked a last minute trip to Florida. It's our first vacation alone in 11 years. We've had a great time. Just laying low for a while before we have to return to reality.

Not exactly a dream vacation, but better than being at home!

Makes me so jealous. If you ever have the chance though, go for it! It is refreshing to hear your own thoughts and decide what you want to do or eat without the kids.

My phone has been very much in need of replacement for quite a while - many cracks and also slow and glitchy especially for actually using it as a phone. I finally went and got a new one 2 weeks ago but it had to be shipped for some aggravating reason (some problem with their system and my account - the actual phone was in stock in the store). The new one finally came today but I am totally dreading and procrastinating on transferring stuff over, setting it up, etc. Whereas I should be excited because its the first tine I got a pretty nice phone instead of just the cheapest POS available.
Tell me it won't be a total PITA to set it up?

springbeduk, most stores will set it up if you take it in. If you want to, that is. I just make H do it, because he knows what he's doing after working in a cell phone store for 7 years.

Tell me it won't be a total PITA to set it up? My last phone was shipped. I turned it on and it basically walked me through it super easy. You no longer need to go to a store and have them do transfers if info. Your new phone can just read the info from your old phone.

Hey guys!
Sorry it is so hard with work and home to come on here. Not going to lie BF and I have been in a rough patch lately. Just so hard to fully get along and not be frustrated. We talked the other day after I asked if he was wanting to break up. He doesn't, but I don't know if constant restrictions with Covid and then add in his shift work, which is so hard to work around and then things can get heated is the problem. We want to work on stuff and go back to how it was. He has been so tired literally all the time and that is tiring in itself to deal with.
I am going through more menopause issues and it is HARD! I have constant night sweats all night and can't sleep, so then to hear him say he is tired even when I let him sleep until nearly 11 the other day is annoying. Life doesn't stop because I am tired so I still get up and do the stuff with the dog and Peyton amd clean and he can just finally get up and drink the coffee that I made. So I am trying very hard to reign in my frustration and he is trying to make an effort to get it together again.
So, he is at work tonight and I came on here to see what everyone is up to.

In other news, Peyton finally got her second shot on Wednesday! It was hard as they kept not having new appointments near here. She also just got a new glasses prescription after not being seen for 2 years. Her prescription is just so strong it is crazy.
Also, have you guys been following the ridiculous trucker convoy here? A bunch of truckers from Owen Sound drove past last week and went to join the other trucks heading to Ottawa. It is pretty horrible as the poor people who live there are going crazy. The noise and everything is closed as no one can get past the trucks. I have read some disabled people can't get their groceries delivered as no one will even attempt to walk through it all.
I don't agree with it at all and it already has had a terrible effect. The stores are still empty and what is there is now so much money. Bf went shopping on Thursday and the cost is through the roof! The government also needs to recoup money spent so the contributions on my pay increased, all the household bills have increased, gas is so expensive, and my property taxes went up. It would be nice if they could figure out that not everyone has their actual pay go up, so instead I am just deeper in the hole each month.
I wish I knew what the solution to all this was.

footloose everything is so stressful that adding in extra is so hard. I’m sorry for the menopause stressors - I do not look forward to that. H is so tired all the time too. He works so much and his shifts are crazy, but that means I just do more work for the family & house.

I don't really have a good solution to all this as I had my kid when I was older so she still can't do a lot of things for herself and has activities I have to drive her to during the week. These things just add in extra work that had I had her when I was younger, I would be beyond those things now. It didn't work that way of course, so will just continue to try my best each day.
