cath -winners does have plus size clothing ,not a large selection thou.The top i bought the other day was a 1x ,they alos had a few 2x and 3 x ,so i imagine they may have jeans or pants in those plus sizes .I find it is hit or miss at winners.

thanks for the reply

@lizzie bargain I am so sad to hear the virus found its way to your home. Best thing that can happen now is for your symptoms to be negligible and for a negative test to come up so you can take that trip. What a preemptive strike it was for you to get that cancellation Insurance. These days I suppose most people booking travel should consider that a must! Take care!

@cath007 I’m sorry your struggling on your brothers birthday . I can’t begin to understand what you’re going through but I’m sending you my hugs and prayers to you as you struggle
@lizzie bargain that’s awful that you’re positive. I’m thankful that it’s mild symptoms. Hoping you recover fast and your trip isn’t affected.

@lizzie bargain sorry to hear that you test positive for COVID hoping you don’t have severe symptoms and you are able to go on your trip later.

Great I lost my post grrr

I will redo it...

Well a little bit of grocery is done,that is a great think considering I am not feeling my best emotionnaly today...
The reason; today is the birthday of my beloved dead brother it is so terrible it would have been 39 years old now...I am 2 years younger than him

And we sell is skis today..and not at the price I wanted..but again no offers since before christmas and we had to face it ...no more space to keep those

so we where asking 125$ for all the person negociate a lot and offer us 90$.. so we just let them go...

I so hate people who negociate...

supper is tacos

I think I will just lurking here to change my mind..

@cath007 (((HUGS)))

Dinner was a hit, would definitely make it again. Although I did tweak slightly, the only spices it called for were Salt & Pepper, I added some Garlic & Onion powder to the pork chops. I did have to add some Velotine to thicken the sauce, I think I would reduce the Butter next time when I made the roux, the recipe called for 5 TBSP of Butter to 3 TBSP of flour, next time I would only use 4 TBSP of butter. I might cut the gravy in half as I have a container of gravy in my fridge now but we ate the Pork Chops.

I got my new vacuum yesterday, I am excited to try it out. I unboxed it but did not try it out today. This is adulting, getting excited about a vacuum.

Hoping for a day with ambition tomorrow, it is hard, I really want to get some things done but at the same time things have been so insane lately I feel like if my body says do nothing I should listen. Still working on this whole balance things.

I have some baking I would like to get done, thinking another batch of muffins, some cookies and maybe some focaccia. Trying to get ahead for the week to come.

Well it finally happened-today I tested positive for Covid on a home test. Pretty mild so far. My husband tested neg so far. I called the lady I baby sit for and she tested the family-two of the triplets tested positive. I knew they had cold symptoms this week so i figured I got it from them. Anyway I am due to go overseas on March 8 so need to look into if that will still be possible. If not luckily I did buy travel insurance-which I never do.

Hugs. hope you feel better soon.

@cath007 does your community have a local freebie site in Facebook. I picked up 5 pairs of capris yesterday size 16 from my local group. 2 are white and I will never wear them so I will repost for someone else to enjoy. I am trying to buy no new clothes in 2022. I have one planned purchase as I need new Birkenstock’s since my soles are worn into the cork. I have replaced the soles 3 times so it’s time for a new pair. @lizzie bargain. If you can get a PCR test that can be used as proof when you travel that you had Covid so if it’s still showing in your system they will know it’s this infection. Some people test positive weeks after they have recovered. Hopefully it does not impact your vacation.
