A sign of the times...
Taken just before heading east out of town on hwy 7&8.. Not me, I was not heading that way because if course the road is closed! There is a break in the storm right now so we are at the store picking up a few things.
I am so sorry to hear that.I hope you get better. Coincidentally, a few minutes ago I just sliced my finger pretty good when scissors slipped. It throbs awfully right now but it's nothing compared to what I'm sure you're feeling.
after going out for awhile I am quite sure they lost some plows and the sidewalk mouse!
:
HAPPY NEW YEAR
To you one and all!!!!!
I'm sorry everyone, the days are just flying by so fast!
It will be the Holidays again before we know it!
It's been quite harried around here; First, 45 minutes into the new year after driving a sick lady home from a very small gathering for New Year's Eve, very small, just the three of us. (It was ok, but a tad on the boring side.) Anyway on the way home I was entering an intersection and I noticed that a car was not stopping at the stop sign, it was a taxi, and I knew I could not avoid him, I hit him with my new car! I had the right of way, no stop sign, I hit him broadside on the driver's side. My lower bumper and grill broke apart, I was not hurt, but it was my first car accident EVER in the 36 or more years of driving! I was shaken, but fine.
Then I got to bed a little after 2 am, then I was awoken by a call on my cell phone at 7am. The gentleman I live with collapsed on the floor and needed help getting up, he had been battling a small bladder infection, so I had to call 911 to help get him off the floor and unto the bed. This man is over 200 lbs, and I'm only 135 lbs and slender, no way could I lift him. Later in the after noon on New Year's day, an ambulance had to take him to the hospital for tests, he was there for 4 days.
Then after he came home he became ill from catching a cold from the hosptial. One week later he is better, but since he is such a sharing man, he passed on this cold to me. He leaves dirty tissues around the house all the time, which I have to pick up, and then sanitize my hands. But due to the stress of everything, my immune system was not great, so I'm still struggling with my sinus cold, it's better, but coughing and nose blowing is still hanging in there!
My insurance company (AllState) has been fabulous, on Monday my new car is being repaired like new! Since the cab driver broke the law by running the stop sign, he was found negligent, so I don't even have to pay the deductible!!!!!!
Boy oh Boy....I can't tell you what a beginning to the new year this has been. And all the while every now and then I would think "I must write to my MCC friends and let them know Happy New Year!" So finally today I just stated "I must get on and write" so here I am.
I'm sorry I missed that wonderful opportunity to be on and greet everyone into the new year, I know you all will understand.
I do hope you all had a great time and a blessed one.
I hope the new year will end better than it had started! But my trust and Hope is in my Lord, and He for sure shall NEVER leave me! He kept me during the accident, and has helped me during this long stressful few weeks.
So I just want to say I love you guys...and girls, and I will be back on and keep conversing with you all!
Oh by the way.......there are people here who still have their Christmas trees up and the lights are still all around the city! I told you they love the holidays here, and the weather has been so cold, the lights can still make everything a bit more cheerful!
Ok that's it, talk with you all later!
:cry:
Since it is so cold and chilly and windy and snowing here , I am going to celebrate by going to a warm and cozy place and curl up with a book.
Work again tomorrow and then 2 days off.
Amie is better, but little Anna is still not feeling good. She gets "clingy" when she is sick which I don't mind. I know there will be a day all too soon when she thinks she's too old to snuggle with her daddy.
Thank you for checking. Hope you are doing good and staying warm.
