I'm exhausted. This going to bed at 2am and then getting up at 6am to get people's car doors unstuck is just not working out. I better get the coffee pot fired up.

Did someone say coffee??

Yabbaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Hey everyone!

I cancelled my appointment for tomorrow to get my rib checked out. I am not risking getting the flu by going into the doctor's office. I have heard so many people say that the caught the flu and I feel like going to the doctor is just asking to get sick. My rib isn't sore or hurting anymore and I realized that it has only been about 4 weeks so I am just going to wait it out. As long as it isn't bothering me I am not taking a chance of getting myself sick!

I am going to go catch up on posts :]

glad you are feeling better!
Our doctor makes anyone showing signs of a cold or flu wear a mask while in the waiting room. Plus we all have to use hand sanitizer.
I am glad I have my own vehicle, I used to hate when I was on the city bus and the person close by was coughing up a lung! Yuk!

So, Like I just told CS, we just got back from a late walk with Harlowe, because she really needed one…

...And it's 4° outside! -7 windchill.

My fingers and ears are still numb, and I Dressed like Randy in A Christmas Story... That's how much I love that girl!

At 7 AM tomorrow, it's supposed to be -2° outside. Oh my goodness, My blood has definitely thinned out ;-)

Yes, I'm still so happy to be here!!!!

Here's a picture of Harlowe on A walk we took a few days ago ❄

You love Christmas, right? You, my friend, are a genius!!! :wink:

((((HUGS)))) xo

Exactly!!! Monday is a Marvelous day! Not a gloomy one!!!

I feel everyday is a blessing. My pastor had a sermon yesterday (not preaching here, good word for all faiths!) Change the attitude from, "I have to" to "I get to"!

Instead of saying, "I have to go to work" feel blessed that, "I get to go to work". That saying should go to everything we do!

It's hard to stay in that mode all the time but even before I heard that sermon I have always tried to adopt that attitude in times that seem tough or things that I do that seem like mundane task! I just love the way he worded it!!!

This is so true, CAH. There are PLENTY of people I type about every day who are so sick they cannot work, and in fact are at the end of their lives. I bet any one of them would be happy to have to go to work and be well enough to do so.....!! xo

That's the exact Keurig system we have, Platinum Plus! Ours in cinnamon colored. I think that color was only available through QVC? Not sure I seen it anywhere else.

Those rolls look yummy! It would have to be dessert for me later in the day. I never could eat sweets in the morning, not even as a kid. I felt sick all day afterward. :-o What a weird kids I was! LOL!

You were not a weird kid !!! xoxoox

There is a long-haired black cat wandering around outside. He isn't one of mine. I have seen him hanging around for the past few weeks, but he always stayed closer to the barn and the woods. He has been getting closer and closer to the house and the area the cats are fed, so maybe he is planning on sticking around.

Awwwww....I hope he has a home !!! xo

My 3 year old granddaughter just said something nice about all of you.

I was trying to rearrange some boxes of Christmas items in my closet. One of my small boxes fell to the floor. It was full of Christmas cards that I got from some of you during one of our Christmas card exchange a few years ago. The cards scattered all over the floor and my granddaughter said, "What is that"? I said, "They are Christmas cards from my Christmas friends". She looked real surprised and said, "Ohhhh, I like your Christmas friends"!!! I said, "I do too"!!! She is always so darn sweet! cheesy

She is ADORABLE !!! xo

 

[caninemom3]

it comes and goes somewhere between a 3 and an eleven. Today it is at about a 7 (on a scale of 1 to 10) I have a new respect for those of you who live with this every day. Here I am only a few days of this and whining.

Awwww...you aren't whining !!! IT HURTS !!!!! xoxo

 

[caninemom3]

Good afternoon, everyone! It's been a quiet day here at the office. The doctor is out of town, and the only secretaries here are my sister and me. It's Sis's birthday today, and her friends from church have taken her to lunch. So it's only me here right now, catching up on the unending forms. I have my music cranked up, and I've got a bacon cheeseburger for my own lunch. There's the good life for you!

Awwwww.....Happy Birthday to your dear Sister !!!

 

[caninemom3]

6pm is when it should be done. I'm doing chicken breasts cooked with salsa and black beans. Then I'll serve it over a bed of brown rice.

Oh I am so HUNGRY right now !! This sounds DELICIOUS !!! XO

Good evening, Christmas family

Well, my tree is "asleep." We took it down yesterday. But I am not all that sad. My sister has been giving me "pep" talks as well as all of you - I think maybe they are finally taking root.

My sister is supposed to visit this Saturday. I hope so. We haven't seen each other since Christmas Eve. It would be wonderful to be with her again.

I am kind of excited. I found one of our local high schools has a community education program where you can enroll in various classes for a four to six week period. They have a couple of writing classes and I am going to enroll in one !! I am not sure anything can really help my writing but I think it will be interesting. I was hoping though that I would be able to go to the school for the classes but they are online.
So I will still not be getting out of the house any more than now.

But that's okay.....I will hopefully be learning some helpful tips !!


Wish is sitting right by me snuggled up against me as I type this !!! He seems to be feeling SO good again. We have him on a soft food he gobbles up and I can tell the daily fluids help him feel much better. I know some folks probably would say he's "just a dog..." and would not go out of their way. As you all know, I am different. He is NOT just a dog just like everyone on this forum is NOT "just a human." Besides, it is no trouble now that I know how to administer the fluids....It is the least someone may have to do for me someday........and I would hope they would....I made a commitment to Wish just like all my furkids FOR LIFE....Not until things become inconvenient and expensive.....FOR LIFE....Okay.. Dont know what got me on a soapbox but done now....sorry.....

I think it is time for a polar bear signature again !!!

Have a very, very Merry Christmassy evening Christmas family and ((((HUGS)))) to all ESPECIALLY:

Ella, Harlowe, Snowball, Gomez, Ophelia, Sidney, Alex, Merlin, Snickers, Victor, Daisy, Diva, Mickey, Palmer, Mouse, Bo, Chico, Meca, Alvin, Charlie, Gary, Bailey, Jerrold, Irving, Martha, Uncle Julio, Missy, Scooby, Sasha, Jacob, Cracker, Bunny B, Penny, Pocket, LuLu, Bear-Bear, Stripey, Holly, Fate Puppy (London,) Buster, Missy, Baby, Santa's Polar Bears, Sangria, O'Malley, Beau, Taz, Zema, Rizzo, Bella, Happy, Sam, Guinness, Holly Noel, Larry SR, Mama, and all furkids everywhere xoxoo
