Good Morning Kids! I'll be leaving for the dentist soon, so prayers & positive thoughts are appreciated. I hope everything goes well at the dentist and it goes quickly, easily and painlessly.

Whew! I made it back. Dentist originally thought they were going to have to "rebuild" the tooth on an old crown of mine, but it turns out I have enough tooth left that they're just cleaning up the base, and redoing the crown. The bad news is, the price of crowns, even with insurance, has gone up so it'll be at least $1,200 out of pocket. Now, I have to behave for a couple of weeks. No sticky or hard foods. Talk about spoiling all of my fun!

busymom glad the dental appointment went well, or at least as well as it could. I ran to the store this afternoon and when I got home there was a plate of chocolate chip cookies on my front porch.

Good Morning Kids! It is nasty-cold here once again, and yes, I can feel it in the house. The sun IS out, but I feel like hibernating. Counting weeks until April finally gets here.

I'm taking a much needed mental health day from work and already so glad that I did. Sunday is the 1st anniversary of my Dad's passing and this week has been hard. Yesterday I decided I didn't want to work today and my boss was very understanding of the short notice. I haven't told anyone in the family and am going to just spend the day doing what I want.

Yes, they are. Even as a retired person, there are days when I decide I am not doing anything more than the bare minimum.
Now that I've returned home from taking Amelia to the vet, this is now a mental health day.

How is Amelia doing, TheOtherMe? Hope she's on the quick road to recovery. I'd planned to run a couple of errands around lunchtime, but it's sNOwing hard here right now. I guess the plan has changed to staying home, and doing more paperwork.

Cat mom went to the dark side without reason. Do not read Dr. Google. Let the vet examine the cat.
Amelia got an antibiotic and a steroid shot and should be doing better every day. She does need a dental and I know Maddow does, too. Those can wait until I return from Toronto according to the dentist. I could have set that up today but I don't know the dates yet.
I also think the cats will be upset enough about the bathroom remodel that I don't want to do it then.

I agree with avoiding Dr. Google. Can make you think it's something that's the very worst. I'm glad the vet doesn't think it's very serious.
Was rethinking doing those errands when the snow stopped falling, but now we've got 50 mph wind gusts, which makes the snow on the ground fly up blizzard-like, so no, I'm just staying home.

That doesn't sound good/fun, at all.

Good Morning Kids! Happy Saturday! Sorry your week at work was rough, Icelandic Woman. Hopefully you can recharge over the weekend. We're still stuck in cold weather, and apparently it isn't supposed to get back to "normal" until NEXT weekend. I'm tired of below zero temps & windchills. My dry skin needs a vacation. In the meantime, I'm back to sorting paperwork, and crunching numbers today. And maybe a little laundry...

Got stuff done this morning -- went to the bike shop for cycling gloves and of course, other bits and trinkets.
Doing laundry right now. And lunch shortly.

Taking yesterday off was just what the doctor ordered. I feel so much more relaxed and calm. Can't really say I feel rested because I worked out in the yard for several hours and this morning I'm stiff and sore. Hopefully I can get out and do some more yard work today but it is supposed to be fairly windy so that might not happen.

Good Morning Kids! Well, this could be an interesting week. We're getting a big dumping of sNOw over the next couple of days. Normally, we get blizzards in March, so I'm wondering if this means an early Spring?

It was very windy all night. We are supposed to get ice beginning tomorrow afternoon and in to Tuesday.
Probably means my trash will go no further than the garage. I'm not falling down on the ice.

What a rude start to a Monday. I was awakened from a really deep sleep because the cat was trying to hork up a fur ball on the bed. Got her pushed off the bed and onto the floor and roll over to realize that I had over slept. When I dusted yesterday I forgot to check the alarm to make sure I hadn't changed the radio station or turned the volume way down. I get up to then discover that there is either something wrong with the thermostat or the furnace, not sure which. Now I have to find a heating and cooling company here at new living place. That has been the hardest thing to figure out who to call, who is reputable etc and to get established as a customer.
