ScoutTN Posted December 23, 2020 Posted December 23, 2020 (edited) Good Morning! I've had meds, coffee and bacon. All systems go. My list: Costco for new computer? If not, order it from Walmart. Got it online from WM for the same price as Costco. Less hurry, less hassle, and no exposure. Dh (whom I have asked for help with this purchase several times and gotten no response), now says that I should have gotten a different type of hard drive, but he will not put in the time to shop and order a laptop today, so I am going to let the order stand. We need to replace our other laptop too, and he can do that one. We must have two for Dd to do school and me to work. Lots of tutoring and school via Zoom this winter, I expect. We need to be up and running with two laptops by Dec 28. Pick up milk. ✅ Deliver housewarming gift. Check map first. ✅ Chx in fajita marinade ✅ Walk before it rains! Call mom. Listen to a couple podcasts. Watch a movie with kids tonight. They have never seen Miracle on 34th Street. Edited December 23, 2020 by ScoutTN 2 Quote

How long do Scallops need to thaw and how long can they be in fridge after that? My lengthy wait at fish store means I was eyeing freezer and I grabbed frozen scallops since dh totally loves them. I also got a lb of big Gulf shrimp along w three pounds of flounder filets. Signing was changed to 11 and plumbing company called me in the middle and said the crew was 9n itd way About to do gift bagging. 3 Quote
ScoutTN Posted December 23, 2020 Author Posted December 23, 2020 I am thawing them in the fridge overnight plus the daytime tomorrow. I'll run them under cold water if they need a bit more before cooking. Making warm crab dip, shrimp cocktail, and Spicy mango scallops (new recipe-hope it's good!) for Christmas Eve. With rice and a salad. 2 Quote

If I can figure out how to post pics, I will. I'm making the card tree, too. The card from Jenny in FL is perfect for the trunk. I have been delighted with all of the cards. 2 Quote
SKL Posted December 23, 2020 Posted December 23, 2020 Howdy, happy Wednesday! I woke up to the sound of the first garbage truck, which I obviously missed. Alas, in my glee at not having to wake the kids for school this morning, I forgot that I still had need of an alarm. 😛 Done: Took out the garbage, including a lot of boxes. Took kid2 to horse riding. Walked a couple miles in the park. Got gas, cash, and shopped for gift cards and stocking stuffers. Some organizing / cleaning. Washed my layers of coats / jackets. Sent out some work. Took a nap. To do: More client work. TKD with kids. Walk? Christmas cards? Laundry? Whatever else gets done. 1 Quote

ScoutTN Posted December 24, 2020 Author Posted December 24, 2020 Just found out that a friend is in the hospital ER with shortness of breath. Also that church for the next two weeks is digital only because of soaring covid numbers. Quote
