My Covid test results FINALLY posted (I've been waiting all day), and I'm pleased to report I'm negative. I'm still more tired than normal, and hoping my medication kicks in soon. But, still feeling blessed, because things could be a lot worse. So, I'm choosing to be grateful.

I've been having trouble with my internet connection for a few days. It's so slow! So I called Comcast. They ran all their tests, then reset everything and ran the tests again. It's still S L O W. So I now have a technician scheduled to come out Thursday morning.
I'm supposed to be getting a speed up to 500 mbps. I'm only getting 27.2 mbps. Even the agent helping me was not impressed. Ugh.

Good Evening Kids! Not sure if it's the medication I'm on, or the fluid on my lung, but I am SO tired today. I'm getting through the day, doing what I can, but bedtime will be welcome tonight.
It is still much colder than average here. Highs are supposed to be in the 60's, but we're barely getting into the 40's. Might even have a freeze tonight or tomorrow night. My lilacs don't care, as they're tired of waiting for Spring, and are trying to bud. Hope the frost, if we get any, doesn't keep them from flowering this year.

It was snowing today in Toronto during the toddler's 2 hour walk around the city.

Good Evening Kids! How is your trip going, TheOtherMe? Our puppy is keeping us busy. She really is trying with the potty training, as she goes almost immediately when I take her outside. The problem is, when she pees on my kitchen floor, then she sits in the puddle, which means I have to give her a bath at least once a day. Oh well, she's still pretty young, so we'll give her time. It's still about 20 degrees colder than average. We actually hit freezing last night.

I'm fine and the drive here was relatively easy.
The only problem is the Toddler has hand, foot and mouth disease, so he isn't feeling well.
My job, according to him, is to hold his water while we sit on the couch.

Comcast just left. They replaced my modem. Things seem to be fine now. I hope they stay fine. I find it so annoying when things don't work properly. The man that was here was very nice. I found out my speeding ticket is going to cost $160! PLUS an additional $5 if paid using a credit or debit card for payment. Holy Moly! Now if I can just get the apt maintenance to fix my a/c, hopefully things will be good for awhile. Enjoy your day!

Since the Toddler feels better today, it was not necessary that I hold his water. He also didn't get all the things he was able to get from mom and dad when he was sicker today. No more watching the iPad while he eats or for the entire day.
How dare they expect him to eat without Blippy the cartoon and actually play with his toys.
He adores his GaGa. She took him on another long stroller ride.
At least his appetite has returned.

Thanks for asking. ![](https://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff155/JiminiChristmas/ymamsmiles/smile.gif) I'm doing better than I was on the weekend, but it feels like recovery may be a bit slow. Kind of like when I had pneumonia, but just not as bad. I still get sore on my right side when I try to walk for more than 10 minutes, so I suspect the fluid is still there, at least some of it. I guess that's why I'm supposed to go back to my doctor in a few weeks. ![](https://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff155/JiminiChristmas/ymamsmiles/wink.png) Sorry about the cost of the speeding ticket. Those suckers are pricey here, too.

We drove out of town to pick up our puppy, but that's been the only change in our schedule. If it is related to walking pneumonia, the doctor I was seeing years ago when I had double pneumonia told me it's actually pretty easy to get. Not cool.

As I think I mentioned before, the pain in my side was getting so bad that it was getting difficult to sleep at night. I'm happy to see some improvement every day.

Today we FINALLY had some Spring-type weather. The winds were cool, not ice-cold, and right now we're getting some "April showers". Better late than never...

Looks like it's going to rain all day at my house. Need to text DN3 to make sure he listens for the sump pump running when he takes care of the cats today.

Good Afternoon Kids! We've also got rain forecast for most of the day here. I'm sneaking out to run a few errands whenever the rain stops for a bit. My lilacs are budding quickly, so I think Spring may finally be here.

This week has been so busy. I've been busy mowing the lawn and pastures. While I wish that I could have mowed more of the pastures on the riding lawn mower I just felt unsteady, like I was going to tip over. Today is rainy so I need to be getting some stuff done inside but I keep procrastinating. This morning I did drive up to my pharmacy, it is a 40 minute drive to closest insurance approved pharmacy, and picked up a couple of prescriptions and got my first Shingrix shot. So far no side effects and the insurance did cover it 100%. I took a different way home from the pharmacy and thoroughly enjoyed the drive. A good potion of the drive followed the Columbia river. Once I got home I invested in a new string trimmer. I have just too much property and fence line that I need something like that to keep the weeds down and reduce fire danger. Tonight I'm supposed to watch the Grands for a while, DD and DSIL are going to a fish fry/silent auction. In other news I'm also going to be Grandma again around Thanksgiving. I knew that they wanted one more but I think this one is coming sooner than they had planned. DD is adamant that this is the last one. ETA: Working in the long grass and weeds in the pastures has kicked my allergies into super sonic gear. Achoo

Watching the grands went pretty good last night. DGD had fallen asleep on the floor in her parents bedroom and she slept for quite a while. DGS2 has a bad cold and was running a fever, he went to bed early. He was in bed before DGD woke up so that meant I was really only dealing with two of them at a time. The older two went down for bed pretty easily too. It was good for DD to get to dress up and go somewhere with DSIL without the kids. They need to do that more often.

Sorry I am later than normal but we went out to breakfast and then to look for a cappuccino-espresso maker. Did not find one, but did come up with the idea of turning my mom's old sideboard into a coffee station, once we located an electrical outlet near it. I will need to drop a heatproof pad on top of the table, but it will look nice and be close to the kitchen (and NOT take up kitchen counter space).
