What Did You Do Today? What are you doing today?

[not_nadine]

I live in a house that is almost considered a Tiny House. I have friends that live in beautiful, sprawling modern homes. So, I understand.

I've lived in both. The big house - I ended up only using three rooms anyway, after all that.
If I get a house again, it will be cottage small. I found that I don't need all that.
It's all about cozy now.

I've lived in the same apartment for, well, quite awhile ...

Today, I'm preparing to have a few friends over for an evening of good ol' fellowship. We're going to have a fire in the fire pit, carve pumpkins, drink some wine, and eat some appetizers and desserts. Each person is bringing a dessert or an appetizer, and a bottle of wine to share. I'm making cucumber/cream cheese tea sandwiches and pumpkin bars.
I'm really looking forward to it, but I always worry a little bit that my house isn't good enough, or that I'll be awkward and weird......

.....but, you ARE awkward and weird......that's why I love you!!....we Misfit Toys have to hang together.....

Spoiler: ew - don't look if you are squeamish

Yuck - does this happen often? I have never heard of someone going to a pharmacy for something like that - yikes!

I've seen people ask a pharmacists opinion for cough/cold type of thing. And maybe a minor burn or rash. But this was some kind of blisters, arms, legs, back, neck/chest area. I saw her arm between elbow and wrist, just one side and I saw at least 6-8. Some looked like blisters filled with clear or light coloured fluid. At least two looked like they had broken and formed a crust.

I'll be watching news to see if the Health department puts out a warning about some contagious disease. I googled, but didn't see anything that looked or sounded like this.

But it disgusts me that the pharmacists didn't automatically clean....I had to ask.

You didn't see any gypsy's did ya?

I never thought about that, you would think they would sanitize after each. Now I am going to be aware next time I have to go there.

Could a moderator please delete post #1923 and this one. iPad thought it knew what I wanted....it was wrong.

....without having actually seen it, I will suggest it might be an allergic dermatitis....a contact reaction to some type of allergen would cause a widespread response....

That was my guess prior to seeing it. After seeing it, I don't think so. Granted, I am basing my opinion on a very limited number of people's allergic reactions that I personally have seen. I'm hoping it's something like that. (And you saying this is what it sounds like to you does offer me some relief. If it sounded like a common contagious illness you would likely have recognized it. Thank you. )

My little gathering went well this evening. We had a lot of fun, and I didn't pass out from anxiety.
Here's a pic of how the pumpkin carving turned out.....

they look good.

 

[Ebdim9th]

Wow, that's pretty well done, Sunny dee-lite....

 

[skimom2]

Sounds like a really great time for all let us know if the latest Bridget Jones book is as good as the previous ones, please

So far it's pretty 'Meh', just like her last one. I LOVED the first two, so it's a little disappointing but not surprising that this one is bland.

 

[skimom2]

Thanks, Deej...... it's me, I'm kinda awkward and overwhelmed sometimes.

I feel that way every time someone comes over. The 'not good enough' syndrome strikes again.

....nice punkins, punkin'!....

i thought about the beach. this looks like lucy...who/whom i did not think about. while sitting in a tree. after work, on a sunday. yeah, i know, i'm a heathen but i needed to try to get caught up so i worked sunday nine to two, wrapped six winders and will finish today. singing sands road...maybe that is why i thought of the beach, two hours before dark. is that the beach? or the desert? little skip of water there to the left.
