Not Having Much Fun Right Now

The last month has been rough.

The cruise was nice, if not coldish.  But that's what you get when you go to Norway in June. lol   We did pack cold weather gear so it was ok.  Wearing a winter coat at the airport in NJ in June was odd but was glad to have it once we got to Copenhagen.

Just a few photos for now of our adventure to Norway.

We played the game show "Newlywed/Not-So Newlywed" and won.  Proving that being married almost 44 years is good for something.

I won/we won a ton of prizes and gave a lot of them away.(2 sets of clothing take up a lot of room in your suitcase).

We met a couple to hang out with on the ship.

I made it to Svalbard.

We got to know the airport in Iceland intimately(we were there 9+ hours).

Got on the plane to come home and were sitting directly in front of Typhoid Mary(or rather Covid Mary).  She was unmasked, sneezing, coughing and blowing her nose incessantly.

We had forgotten to pack masks for the plane so 2 days after getting home Hubs came down with what he though  was a Summer cold. He was better/over it in 3 days.  After he recovered suddenly I couldn't stand up.  That's when we knew it was not a Summer cold.

We had to call 911 for an ambulance to the ER since I couldn't get in the car.

At the ER they left me in the hallway for 24+ hours, not checking me in, then shipped me out to their smaller hospital where I was expected to spend 3 full days/nights before being admitted to a Rehab hospital.  Before leaving the ER they checked me for Covid and BINGO! that's what I had. I had evaded Covid totally until then. The gave me IV anti-viral drugs and then the OT and PT folks came in and said I was doing too well and the Rehab hospital wouldn't take me so they sent me home.  I relapsed 3 days later and spent 3 weeks in a wheelchair before anyone would send home health to help.

I've had home health for 1 week and I am doing better.  

Just a brief synopsis of life here lately.

Feeling Better

 I think I'm through the worse of this weird version of Covid I have but still have a ways to go.   The neurological issues I have are just making this worse.

I'll try to blog a bit when I am not doing PT, OT or sleeping.

I hope everyone is doing ok.

Iceland + Covid=No Bueno

 Sorry for the radio silence since we got back.

It's not everday that you fly home from Iceland and catch Covid. Ugh

I'll be back when I am feeling better.

Now I just want to sleep............

Kim's Bestie

 I found Kim’s Beastie at the Newark Airport  on Friday.....

Not the crazy lady but the one in the bottle.  lolz

It's 3am in Copenhagen as I write this.  Jet lag is a b*tch!

How will I survive this cruise without my Midnight 🥕 Cake Buddy??

Copenhagen & New Living Quarters

 We're going to be in Copenhagen at the end of this week before we board the ship.

Has anyone been to Copenhagen?  Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do there?

I had a work partner when I was in my 20's named Tula who was much older than me, originally from Denmark,  She never really talked about her homeland and had lived in the US for decades.

I though erroneously that the Anne Frank house was in Denmark and not the Netherlands. duh. lol

All I know is that the Little Mermaid statue from Hans Christian Anderson is in the harbor there.

And the original Lego Land is there.

We'll probably visit the mermaid statue by the harbor but not the legos. 8-))

As for our new living accomadations--

The new place meets our needs, mostly.  It's a bit smaller than we need.  We'll need to rent a storage unit for the stuff I am selling and get it out of the garage,  This place is just temporary and gives us a year to find a place to buy.

There are 3 annoyances we have found so far here--
The main thing is the road behind the duplex runs down a hill and folks gun their engines and speed down(or up)the road.  The bedroom is in the back of the duplex.  It would have been expedient if the builder/owner had put a fence up to muffle the sound from the road as the backyard is quite small.
The other two problems are not going to ongoing.
The refrigerator makes beeping sounds at random intervals.  We have a work order in to get this addressed.  I had a dream last night about a robot that beeped. lolz
The third item is my sink in the master bath.  I noticed that it was slow to drain so Hubs hit it with some Drano.  But it still was slow to drain,  So I investigated and here is what I pulled out of one of those stoppers you can't remove.............

A big wad of hair, mixed with some dental floss and part of a Band-aid and something else I couldn't identify,
You would think that as part of the cleaning of the premises they do when a tenant leaves would include checking the sink drains in the bathroom,  This is stuff I pulled out with my fingers!  Hubs pulled out more gunk with tweezers besides this,  Just nasty!!

I don't know whether to bring this to management's attention or night.  I don' t want to be "that" tenant but come on!  these are relatively new duplexes(maybe a year or two old)this is something that should be cleaned.
