Friday Coffee Talk

United States
August 23, 2024 9:26am CST
Happy Friday Everyone! this might be the last day of decent temperatures before the good old "hot and humid" days reappear. It's certainly been nice having a short reprieve from all that heat. What's even better is the quality sleep I've gotten the past few nights. Right now I'm enjoying my coffee and waiting for Walmart to make a delivery. We didn't need much this week so it's basically just fill-in items (milk, bread, etc). I've been busy crocheting and have one baby blanket 99% finished. I think I might be able to get all four done before the estimated time that the lady needs them by. I don't want to message her prematurely with an earlier date just yet because you just never know what might pop up. So, it's just better to leave the date as it is for now and then surprise her if I get them done earlier. I heard from the guy who is going to be doing the power washing of my house. He tried to squeeze me in this week but he just couldn't do it. So, it will definitely be next week. That's fine with me. Yesterday afternoon I got stuck on a marathon phone call with my friend. I hate to say stuck but when she calls I know it's not going to be a quick call. She loves to talk and I know she's lonely so I put the phone on speaker and crocheted while we chatted. My daughter has an early day today and there's only 2 early Fridays left before going back to full work days after Labor Day. Summer is winding down, kids are going back to school and Starbucks is already promoting their Pumpkin Spice lattes. I don't have anything fun planned for the weekend....do you?

That's nice that you'll be going to your brothers for dinner. Any time with family is special. Starbucks is rushing the season with their pumpkin spice lattes already. I've never had one have you?

Summer is fast winding down, but it is still very hot here. We have nothing planned for the weekend, but for sure we should go out to fill up the car.

Marilyn, you’re awesome to listen like that to your friend. My mom had a friend like that, and the calls could be hours long, but my mom was the only friend she had (her husband ignored her). You must mean the world to her.

Through the weekend we are supposed to have that decent coolness too . . . but I think we go back to hot weather again next week. Marathon calls - oh yes I get that with a particular friend too - my kids even know when I'm on the phone with her . No plans for the weekend yet . . . oh my I just realized today was actually Friday .

I just finished working for another week, I have a week's vacay. I am looking forward to resting up this weekend, I am fighting a cold currently. I noticed that our Tim Hortons has started serving the pumpkin spice drinks and sweets. I love this season. I am not a tea drinker, but yesterday I ordered a honey-lemon tea, and it was so delicious. It helped pick me up and get through the day.

I'm sorry the power wash guy couldn't fit you in this week. I'm glad he can come next week. It's good you can crochet during those marathon calls. I'm sure those pumpkin spice lattes will taste great. I'm glad your daughter has an early day today.

That's a good idea to put the phone on speaker and keep crocheting. We have an acquaintance who is very lonely and when she rings it's always at least an hour. She has a very bad attitude in a way and we seem to be the only people she talks to or is 'friends' with. It's very sad but she's her own worst enemy.
