@twinny70 Oh my goodness, you and your husband make me tired just reading about your deep cleaning!!!! And more so, you make me feel so lazy when I should be doing exactly what you both are accomplishing!!!!
I pray that you both stay very safe and healthy through this most trying time for all of us.

"our" Andrew is pretty good

Thank you @Tennesseegal appreciate your kind words.
Those hyacinths, I can almost smell their sweetness from here! As we know how bulbs can outgrow themselves, we used to have a nice patch in the backyard, all pastel colors, lovely.

if you go with brands you know, and the seller has good info you should be OK. but I certainly understand, I got a jumpsuit for $15 the seller had bad pics and no sizing which is probably why the price was so low
I only buy with my earnings,

My silly forgetfulness. As many of you might recall, we have had a very difficult last year. DH has been in and out of the hospital many times and on occasion, critical.
Monday I was looking for a blazer and could not find it. I could not imagine when was the last time I had worn it. I prodded my brain and poked around and decided I had left it in a restaurant where I had eaten in mid December but by now (as they know me), if I had left it there someone claimed it or I did not leave it there because they would have called me.
I have 2 dry cleaners that I use frequently, one more so than the other. One is my favorite and I go there 90% of the time but their hours are limited so if I need something to return on Saturday, I go to the other which has great hours for working people or distressed people like myself.
So I went to the dry cleaners I frequent on a more regular basis to check to see if I had left it there, no. I had not. They know me well and searched and found nothing.
Yesterday I decided I would check the one I rarely use just to make myself feel better. Lo and behold, there not only was my jacket but 3 other blazers, 2 pairs of pants. I had forgotten all about these items. She told me I had left them on New Year's Eve.
Ouch. I do recall. I was telling the nursing aide who was helping me when DH first came home that I had clothing I need to take to cleaners and she told me she would be happy to do that, as the cleaners was on her way home. I recall that now quite vividly. Extended family illness can really tax one's brain.

I have given up watching Andy, the first area of containment in Westchester is a block from my house. All of our favorite places are now take out or delivery, we will order in tonight and did the same one other night.
I am afraid that this craziness will force some of the smaller places to shut their doors for good.

Good Morning All!
Hubby and I have been on voluntary lockdown for a week, now mandatory. Thank goodness! Spring Breakers are heading home.
@lolakimono I am eternally grateful to you for advising the use of L-lysine during hubby's breakout of eye shingles a few years ago. I broke out two weeks ago, started L-lysine right away. The doctors prescribed a drug, insurance needed preauthorization due to dosage, couldn't get for over a week. By the time I got it, shingles were cleared up from heavy doses of L-lysine. Thank you thank you thank you!!
