the snow is flying here (and sticking I might add). 

We have lots of snow up a little further north of you.  It’s not sticking yet maybe because it’s 34°F.  Weather people say it’s going to get to 38°F so no one here is expecting anything sticking.

So far so good :) He really likes the school, too much walking around though haha

It’s nice to have family around especially at school. I had a brother one year younger who was with me throughout my school years. I sure miss those times.  Glad it’s all going well for you both.

34 here also (we are at about 400' elevation), it's piling up on the lawn and plants and all white here now as I look out the back window, but the road is just slush, not quite cold enough on the road surface. 

 

Get ready for the next "Pineapple express" this week, gonna be soggy...

 

Stay warm

I slept part of the night in my chair after awakening pre-dawn.

But had coffee, French Roast with cream as usual, worked on my computer, played on my guitar and watched the rain blow outside.

Hope everyone stays warm and toasty as this storm blows across the midwest.

Well I got some type of creeping crud that is going around. Body aches, chills, muscle weakness. SO didn't make it in to work today. Probably tomorrow too. Will be sleeping in the lazy boy tonight.

But I’m so warm and comfortable in bed under my blankets. Lol

Maybe a bit longer here on TP then I will do it.  
Have a good day!

Today we have to trap one of our "barn" kitties.  We are re-homing him because he is terrorizing the other two and holding them captive.  All three are feral and can't be approached.  We picked up a trap a couple of days ago and got him used to it.  Today we'll bait and set it, and hopefully quickly have him safely inside.  Then we have someone from the rescue group standing by to come and get him.  He'll go to a nice horse barn where he'll be the only cat.

 

I had to scramble yesterday to get my file at Dr. Brassard's office completed.  It turned out that the lab never sent my EKG results to my doctor, who should have forwarded them to Dr. Brassard.  After some frantic phoning around, I was able to get the hospital records department to fax them directly.  I got confirmation that my file is now complete.  Whew!

@KathyLauren - Yeah the paper chase is on ! A certain amount of "bird dogging" is necessary to keep things moving, nothing happens on it's own. Good luck with the kitty. 

 

First cup tastes wonderful this morning, we are expecting another "Pineapple Express" atmospheric river and it's raining now.

My wife and I learned about feral cats the hard way.  Back in 2009, we moved into a secluded area and one day we had one come to our home.  It was cute but the hair was matted and it looked hungry.  At first, it was very standoffish and wouldn’t come in.  My wife brought it some food and eventually she gained its trust and came inside. It jumped up into her reading chair.  We let it rest for hours there.  But later when we tried to get it to move off the chair, it suddenly threw a “kanipshin” and tried to scratch and tear apart anyone who got near.  That chair was his.  We eventually were able to shoo it away but we learned the difference between domestic and feral really quick.

 

Well, no coffee for me this morning...at least not yet.  I’m off to have some early blood draws for my labs.  I have a 3 month followup coming up.  Have a great day everyone.

Still sleeping fitfully.  I saw my ENT yesterday and the apparent caused of the sinus pain I've been experiencing isn't a traditional type of infection (good) but something thats causing internal swelling.  I'm going to work with an OTC regimen through the rest of winter to see if it helps.  We discussed surgery later in the season.  Oh, the joy...

 

I hope everyone's day goes well!

@Susan R - good luck with the blood draw today Susan and I bet that first cup will taste really great later.. 

 

@Jani - Good luck with the new regimen Jani, our youngest went through multiple sinus surgeries, finally to be cured, it's a very difficult and painful condition for sure. 

 

Best

Thanks Cyndee.  This has certainly got me down.  I've dealt with sinus issues for some time but they are getting more frequent.  Its time to do something.

I used to love the Pineapple Express when I lived on the we(s)t coast.  It meant warm weather in winter, and it meant I could fill the rainwater tanks for the following summer's gardening.

Hi Kathy, yes very useful to have collected rain water (as I recall you had something like 4,000 gallon storage) ?

We are expecting perhaps 12c tomorrow, in the middle of winter, that's mild.

 

My thoughts with the poor folks in Sumas, WA (right on the Canadian border) to our north in Whatcom county, are bracing for more flooding possibilities with this event ?

 

Have a nice day !

Hi,

 

it’s been a busy day.  Coffee was over 12 hours ago.  
 

i had an appointment with my endocrinologist this afternoon. He was happy with my progress.  He increased my progesterone by 50%.  
 

I have been seeing him by telemedicine lately as his office is over 60 miles away.  But next time he wants to see me at his office, as Willow and with my wife.  That will be in a couple of months.  I’m looking forward to that.

Oh I forgot to add that because of the storm heading across the south, I spent the afternoon after I got home getting my boat storm proofed.  More dock lines and fenders.

Boats can be a real haunt when the weather threatens. The kind of stuff that keeps you awake at night worrying. Hope yours remains safe and dry in the parts that are supposed to be dry!

 

Finished my first cup of coffee. Time to get a refill.

Wishing everyone a wonderful day on this snowy day!

I remember bad storms in the UK living on a narrowboat, if the rivers rose too high and your mooring lines were too tight it could sink the boat. Hope everything is ok.

      Something else I noticed @Ladypcnj Since I use the Unread tab, I don't see threads I've read again until someone replies to it, or the author adds something.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋
    • Mmindy
      Good morning @Ladypcnj   Some posts get lost in the busy times here. It also maters how people navigate the site. Some only look at their notifications, or tap the All Activity tab which shows them thread they've commented on. (how I see it)... I on the other hand use the Unread tag under Activity. I don't think people ignore post as much as they get caught up reading threads they've already been active in.   Best wishes, stay positive, and motivated,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Oh yeah, I forgot,    @awkward-yet-sweetwhen your husband finally breaks down and decides to replace the stoves I agree a single professional stove even out of a defunct restaurant might well be the way to go when cooking for all those kids and adults. Certainly better that the situation you describe.  Or maybe from a used restaurant supply where they have professionally cleaned and refurbished it.
    • Willow
      Wow, yesterday was a very active day.     @Birdie I hope they figure out where that’s coming from and get you heeled quickly. That it’s nothing serious.  Maybe going to the day care with a purewick will finally convince them to change their attitude.   @MaeBe  especially if you believe you are about to loose your job anyway, what’s to keep you in Minnesota ?  This could be a wonderful thing for all of you Washington State can be wet but it’s really not as bad as it’s made out to be.  If you are west of the cascades it is relatively mild not like MN in the winter time.  And east of the cascades it’s rather desert like around Yakima.     New car shopping can be fun but it can be very stressful too.  We talked about it over lunch yesterday. Strange thing is she kept coming back to the old Ford.  My response was instead of two car payments there woul only be one although I would expect it to be a little higher, but not nearly what two would add up .  Plus I wouldn’t have to continue working as long with only one as when I get the other things paid off I know we can live without me working.  Unless of course, the congress decides to mess with social security.  Right now I have three vehicles I want to look at two are at one dealer and the third at another.  All three are GMs two are newer with lower mileage but are also lower end on the GM line.  The third which is the one that most interests me is a Cadillac.  Let’s see there is a song from way back about a Cadillac and a Hot Rod Lincoln comes to mind.  Anyway it is an XT-5. I get my room and comfort, she gets her nice appointments and the ford hopefully will hang on as a spare for those occasions when we need a second car for me to go to work and for her to do ??  The downside is it has just under 80,000 miles and is a 2020 so in that regard we are slipping backwards from a 2022 with 25000  but going from a sub-compact to a mid-size.  The other two are a compact and a Midsize but neither would provide the expected comfort and features of the Cadillac.  The biggest of which are the pedals that would adjust and the seat adjustments. (My wife is 4’ 10” and I am 5’8” since my spine has shrunk.  The Caddy also has the lane safety as well as front and rear collision warning.  The mileage will go down and the engine requires higher octane gas but that won’t be too much of a drag since we can go to Murphy USA where I work or to Costco which isn’t that far away. 10 miles.  And it’s better than the Ford!   I guess we will see how this plays out later.   Willow

      Two things amaze me, One how fast short haired dogs dry. Two how did you keep from loosing your glasses? I'm glad you wear a life jacket while kayaking even on smooth waters such as ponds or lakes. I'm guessing you learned a few things about landing and exiting the kayak.    Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Aside from the X-Files, Gilmore Girls is easily my favorite TV show. I originally watched the original airing in the commuter lounge at my college starting in 2000 because I was embarrassed to watch it at home when I living as a man. Now that I am out and transitioned, I watch it openly and wear Gilmore Girls t-shirts at work on days that I wear a skirt. For Valentine’s Day, my wife bought me the DVD’s. Yesterday I had to stay at work late because of an IT problem (I am not IT so I just had to make sure the pump stations telemetry was functioning properly before I could leave, IT did the actual work) and so I watched it on Netflix. Lorelai Gilmore inspired me to change my name to Lorelei. Yes, I picked a more traditional spelling on the name. The mother daughter interaction between them is heartwarming and sometimes hilarious. Last week I just started rewatching it again. Ironically I relate most to Luke, very rare as I almost always relate to a female character. Anyone else here love the show?

      Good morning everyone,   @Birdie continued prayers for you as they figure thing out. I'm glad you're being properly cared for.   @April Marie I love the pageantry of the Kentucky Derby the bright dresses, and fascinating hats worn by the ladies. As for the mint juleps... I'll pass, they're just to aromatic for me.  We'll be watching "The Fastest Two Minutes in Sports" as well.   @Adrianna Danielle & @awkward-yet-sweet it is amazing how a new stove seems to cook food better. Cooking for 36 people is a phenomenal task, and if you're doing it on anything less than a professional cook stove. You're preforming miracles, and I wish you the best.   My yard work is done for the day, because I don't have to wait until Saturday to do it. I'm getting use to this mostly retired situation. The windows and doors have been open since I first got up and the yard is full of bird songs. I have the best neighbors because they don't start their noisy yard work until very late morning or early afternoon.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I took an involuntary swim wearing my quick dry hiking pants and shirt. Lifejacket not shown but present on the rock I am sitting on. Watson is dry now but I am still soaked. I capsized my kayak 5 feet from the shore trying to land on an island. Water in the pond was surprisingly warm considering it is early may in upstate New York. 
    • Mirrabooka
      @Birdie best of luck to you, my friend.   @MaeBe, nothing ventured, nothing gained! Good luck!

      Oh I will. He loves to just sleep on the couch and sleep. Not very active at all which I'm mixed about. Less to do but also want him to do more too.
