I did a good bike ride this morning, and will work in the yard a little later. Did laundry and bathrooms and made the apple tart. Very yummy.

Good Afternoon Kids! Considering the temps are only in the 30's, it's quite comfortable outside with barely a breeze. My DD & her fiancé did something fun yesterday. I'm not sure if all of you are familiar with lefse, but it's considered a necessity in the Scandinavian world, especially around the holidays. Well, the kids researched what was supposedly the "best" lefse in our state, and literally drove all over to get some. DD dropped off 2 packages of it at our house before I left for church this morning. I plan to sample some this afternoon. Yum! Oh, to be young again and be able to go off on these impulsive "trips".

Hi Everyone! I got up before the alarm and I got a tanker of tea going. I have built something already this morning so I need to arrange the bedroom just a bit better. It's very rainy outside so I need to get some good vibes going so I can feel accomplished later today. take care.

I hope your day goes well and that you feel like you accomplished something, at the end of the day. Hopefully, your weather will clear up too. It's dreary and gloomy here today. But they said on the news, it's a good day for washing your car. Weird.

I planned on going back to the doctor today, or tomorrow, since whatever this crap is, I've got in my lungs, isn't getting better. The website says, if there's no improvement, to come back in. But when I called, I was told, not only do they not have any appts available today, or tomorrow, they don't have any available for 2 weeks! Yikes! That puts it very close to Christmas. And I haven't started shopping yet. And shipping time is getting short.
I saw a cool slide, you put on your stairs, I thought was a good idea. But apparently DSoninlaw thinks it's an accident, waiting to happen. So I was told no.
If anyone has any suggestions for a 3 and a 5 yr old girls, who have everything, I love to hear them.
Thanks!

Good Afternoon Kids! It is dark & gloomy here too. My instincts tell me to go back to bed, but there's so much to get done. The problem is, the lack of sunlight messes with my energy level. Oh well, gotta get to it.

How's your medical coverage for urgent care? Sometimes it's just easier for me to pay the $35 copay there instead of trying to get into doctor/pediatrician for $25. Most urgent cares let you setup appts online so you don't have to wait on site as long.

FWIW, my copays are listed on my insurance card. Good luck! Sorry to hear that you're still feeling bad. You're right to go get checked again as they may need to switch meds.

I would definitely NOT wait 2 weeks toomuchreality. If you told your doctor's office you need a follow-up visit because you're not improving, and they will not squeeze you in, either a different doctor or urgent care is a great way to go.

BTW, 3 & 5 year old girls are fairly easy to please. Craft kits, clothes, coloring sets, etc. Now finding something when they're in junior high is a challenge.

You're right to go get checked again as they may need to switch meds. That's what I'm thinking. When I ruptured my eardrum, the doctor couldn't get rid of the infection, to do surgery. So he put me on an antibiotic that killed all the bacteria in my system. I had to eat things to put good bacteria back in my system. I still hate yogurt. Yuck!

If you told your doctor's office you need a follow-up visit because you're not improving, and they will not squeeze you in, either a different doctor or urgent care is a great way to go. Someone (doctor?) Is supposed to call me back and advise me, what to do next. I've had this way too long, to wait 2 more weeks. I'll go somewhere else, if I have to. When I breathe now, I hear the raspy, wheezy sound in my lungs(?). It's not good, so I won't wait long. I do wish I was at home, near my dr's clinic and other places I'm familiar with. Instead of my daughter's, where I'm not familiar with the area, or the places, at all. Addresses out here, mean nothing to me. I'll have to see if can get in somewhere, later in the day, so I have time to get there. The housekeeper is here. So I'll be stuck in the bedroom for a few hours, now. It sounds like everyone on the cruise is having a good time. They still have a week left, before they come home. I want to go home today! LOL I'm not a fan of satellite TV, or streaming. This is SO boring!

I just got a call from my doctor's office. They had a cancellation tomorrow at 9AM, so I'm going to take it. I'm not a morning person, and DD2 lives 45 min- an hour away from my place (depending on traffic). The dr's office is 5 min from my place. So although it will be early, I'm really glad to get in and see my own doctor, right away. Hopefully, she'll be able to help me. I'm happy about that.

TMR, is it too late to just hop in the car and drive to your place? You could check everything out, spend the night in your own bed and sleep in a bit in the morning to go see the doctor comfortably. I’m afraid you’ll get stuck in rush hour traffic with your 9 am appointment and 45-60 minutes drive there. I do hope the doctor figures out how to best help you tomorrow! Hugs!

I considered doing this. For me, it is the better option. But I need to feed and care for the fish and the cat. Turn the outside lights on /off. Bring in packages, put garbage cans out, etc, tonight and in the morning before I go. They have a Ring doorbell, and a neighbor (or 2) watching out, so I decided against it. Plus a guy that works for them is stopping by for supplies in the morning. It's just not worth the upset it would cause. I thought I'd treat myself to a stuffed crust pizza tonight, because those are my favorite. (Delivered). But I can't get through to Pizza Hut. Their phone has been busy for 45 minutes! I tried ordering online and couldn't get what I wanted. Bummer! I think, if I leave at 7AM, I should get home by 8, or shortly after. So I should make it to the appt by 9. Afterward, I'll pick up the prescription, if there is one. A few groceries and drinks. Then I'll hang out at my place for the day, before I come back. I like being dependable. But then that's part of the reason I get asked and expected to do things, so often. (DD2s father killed an aquarium of fish once, by lack of proper care. It didn't go over well.)

Good Morning Kids! We got a bit more than a dusting of snow overnight, but it's melting right now. I can hear water running off the roof right now. Unfortunately, that also means dogs with muddy paws, and of course this all happens AFTER they got their baths this week.

Whew! I barely made it to my dr appt, on time. Traffic was WAY worse than I expected, at that time of day! Dr did exam and took xrays of my lungs. I have pneumonia throughout both lungs. She starting me on a stronger antibiotic for 2 weeks and prescribed more cough meds. Said we'll reevaluate in 2 weeks. Unless I continue to get worse during the next week. Lots of rest and fluids. She said, no wonder you feel terrible. Luckily I haven't had an extreme fever with it.
So that's my story, for today.
When I go back to DD2s, I might move Golden Sister's car out of garage and park mine in there. She's not even here, to know if her windows need to be scraped!
I had to scrape mine today, before I could leave. And I didn't have a scraper in my car. Grrr.
No more house sitting for me! On 4th of July (this last summer), when topic of house sitting came up, I asked both my girls, how often they took care of my ferret(s) for me, when I asked? "ZERO!" They wouldn't even come over and check on my ferret, or feed him. They just said "No" and walked away.
Me bringing that up, greatly upset DD2. She said, she was never going to ask me again. It was the truth! It was her husband who ended up asking me to house sit.
We'll see what the future brings.
*I'm glad I went to the doctor again, today.Thanks for all your support! ♡

toomuchreality I'm glad you were able to get into the doctors today. Pneumonia is serious business and if you want to go home, just do it. You are seriously ill and you and your needs should come first.

I will add to what others have said. Pneumonia is a serious illness and you want to sleep in your own bed. I know I would rather be at my house than anywhere else when I am sick. It might be time to tell them how sick you are and that you need to stay home. There are professionals who they can hire to do this if they don't have neighbors they trust. Anyway, feel better very soon.

I agree with the others that you really should be home, in your own bed. If you're feeling guilty, you can pop in once a day to attend to the cat, and check for packages. Never fool around with pneumonia, because pneumonia doesn't care.

I would still go home. I've always had a back up person in mind because people do get sick.
