My brother reports that my niece is feeling better, but the BF not improving...he may need a more advanced treatment option if the day goes on and he still feels bad. This COVID is no joke. I cannot stand people who play it like it does not exist, or treat it like it is someone else's problem. I did go out for a run, and started a load of laundry. Checked my plants and will wash the car later. Lawn mowing will be after dinner of pork chops and baked sweet potatoes.

I've just been putzing around today not doing much of anything. I did dig out a large wall hanging I have been working on for years, hopefully I can get it done in this next week. Rain is supposed to come in this afternoon so I made sure to get my walk in after lunch. Tonight I'm going to spend the evening at Mom's and watch some TV etc. We decided on taco salads from our favorite Mexican restaurant for dinner. Even though we have limited indoor dining etc I will get them to go. Mom and I have both had our 2 doses of Covid vaccine but I'm not ready to be eating in restaurants yet.

Good Evening Kids! It's been a full day, and I can't believe it's already dark outside. Our big "warm-up" outside didn't feel anything like 60 degrees, as the cold wind kept us all wearing Winter jackets. Oh well... Wishing your family members the very best, NancysSummerSip. Covid is nothing to play with.

Good Morning Kids! Hey, great to hear from you, ՏՇԾԵԵʅՏɧ_LԹՏՏʅҼ! You'll have to give us more details on "the S Dog", the next time you visit. Take care! The winds have calmed down here some. So, just maybe, when the thermometer hits 58 degrees today, it'll actually "feel" like 58 degrees.

Hi Kids! It's been a week, and it's only Tuesday nite. Speedy got ahold of a stick yesterday, & was trying to eat it, so while prying it out of his mouth he hooked me good, and I ended up with 3 teeth going into my index finger. Ouch!! But, I'm still claiming victory, since I DID get the stick away from him. Those darn baby teeth are like needles, though...

I have been approved to return to work on Monday. Since I have to go back it might as well be on Monday. Today has been a pretty good day. I sold may Kayak and won $15 from a scratch lottery ticket, nice to have some extra money in my pocket.

Good Afternoon Kids! This morning was i-n-t-e-r-e-s-t-i-n-g. I had an appointment in a large medical building, and when I got into the elevator, and elderly man walked in behind me, and he wasn't wearing any mask. Frankly, I'm surprised he wasn't stopped, as it's a place that requires masks. Hoping he didn't have any illness to share. My first Covid shot is scheduled for Friday.

This surprises me in a medical building. At the only one I've been to, there were two circles marked on the floor telling people where to stand. The sign outside the elevator said no more than two groups in the elevator. I had decided I wasn't getting on with a group.
I got off an elevator in a hotel when someone got on with no mask even though it was clearly stated all over the hotel, outside and inside the elevator that masks were required.

Every medical building around here now has a desk or kiosk by the front door. You don't enter until you are wearing a mask, had your temperature taken and answered an assortment of questions. At the medical clinics associated with the hospital, and the hospital itself, you have to wear one of their masks.

When I had my colonoscopy, once I went from the medical building to the same day surgery building, I had to wear their mask. I had to wear their mask during the procedure. They put the tubes that went to my nose under the mask. They only let me take it off to drink some apple juice. Then it had to go right back on.

When I had my surgery I wore my face mask into the operating room, the anesthesiologist removed it. Then in recovery I didn't have to wear it but I was so out of it they didn't push the issue. However when they moved me to a regular room I had to wear one from the recovery room to my hospital room.

Just puttering around this morning avoiding cleaning the bathrooms. I did an early morning grocery run. In a while I will go for a walk but it is still rather nippy out there.

Hello peeps! I have a swim meet this weekend, COVID rules in place. Should be interesting, as I have not been to this pool in about a year. This meet is being run by my former coach, who is anti-mask, pro-Trump and believes COVID happens to other people. She has to abide by the county and sanctioning body meet rules, so this oughta be interesting. Her FB posts are filled with bar-hopping and vacation photos, no masks, and no social distancing. Some people just enjoy tempting fate, I guess. The kids are doing better, but it will take time before either of them goes out again. My brother has connections at Johns Hopkins, so he is able to get a shot before the age limit drops in his state. I think this whole situation with my niece scared him into it. It certainly would do it for me.

Good Morning Kids! My arm is still sore from my Covid shot, but not as sore as last night. At least I was able to sleep, and I didn't take any meds, so all is well. The weather outside is absolutely Spring-like & beautiful! It's an early Spring, that's for sure. We usually don't get this kind of warmth, and the "Spring smells" until April or May. It's cloudy & misting lightly, rather than the sNOw we normally get this time of the year.

We are supposed to be in the low 60's today and I would love to be working in the yard. Yesterday I tried weeding flower beds for a bit and really did myself in. I hurt so bad last night and even some this morning. Weeding flower beds isn't strenuous and I was very careful to keep my weed bucket at a low weight. Maybe it was the bending and stretching. I'm taking it easy until my doctors appt on Tuesday and fingers crossed I didn't pull anything apart.

Hi kids. Day 1 of the meet is done. I prepped dinner (chicken sausage with onions and peppers over rice) and tidied up.

Good Morning Kids! My shoulder is almost back to normal after the Covid shot. And, the sun is shining, so it should be a good day.

Hello peeps! Glad to be done with the meet -- the weather was good but it was awkward to go back to my old pool and see people who did not know I was gone, including the old coach, who could have cared less about my leaving.

At least you don't have to feel bad about not returning unless it's for a meet.

Good Evening Kids! It's been a long day. I dropped off some new clothes at my relative's nursing home, but of course I can't visit him, at least not yet. Then tonight, I'm trying to keep track of what's happening with Derek Chauvin court case, as there are some protesters in the city tonight, and I'm praying that no new damage is done in the city...

Good Evening Kids! It's been another long day. I needed to replace our stove (we were up to 2 burners that weren't working properly.) Luckily, our local appliance store had ONE stove in stock, in my favorite brand, that was in the color that matches the rest of my kitchen, and thankfully it wasn't dented when it arrived.

I was released from my post-surgery restrictions today. The doctor did tell me and I already knew this I will still be very tired for some time to come and it will hurt to do things. I celebrated by mowing the lawn after work. It was really long and I was getting embarrassed that my lawn looked so bad.

Today's after work project was starting to weed in my berry patch. I got quite a bit done and probably could have finished it but was starting to get tired so quit. Hopefully my strawberries will grow better now that they aren't competing with the weeds. The raspberries and boysenberries are starting to leaf out.

Hi Kids! Sorry I haven't been online as much as normal, but I've been doing Easter prep, plus, spending time online TRYING to get DS & DH scheduled for the Covid vaccine, but I keep getting shut out.
