What do you normally do about the itch?
 

Town, county and basically Oklahoma is shutting down for what is coming by lunch. Our neighborhood circle is checking on everybody. Cat food, wine and charged phones.

My truck has completely new brakes and went to the shop last night. She needs new bearings in the front and the shop does not take appointments due to weather but she fits in the last bay.

More cookies and roll ups for the play date.

Mumsy's birthday. Daughter and SIL don't celebrate any special days or holidays.

One more cup of coffee!

Just -7 here......I'll definitely be outside walking around. I love cold weather.
 
Well what a day it's been , I can only thank the good lord that it's been Sunny today becasue all my workers have spent a good deal of it outside re-wiring.. and then eventually into the house for more drilling and re-wiring..

The Handyman came, and he sounds like he's going to be a great choice..altho' he's very much in demand, but I showed him a list of things that need doing over time.. which included, painting and decorating the hall and stairs.. and he ticked them all off, said he could do all of them..so he's gonna come back next week and start on the 3 main things I want doing which is the barn roof.. and some picture hanging and repair my gate latch ..., he said as long as it doesn't rain and he can get the barn done , he should get all 3 things done in a day or less..

I pointed out a problem with my mixer taps (faucet) in the kitchen , and he said no need to change the taps, they're very modern taps, but that he could fix the problem that meant where I thought they might have to be changed, ... instead, he went out to his van, got a part, and in less than 5 minutes he had that tap fixed... NO CHARGE !

So he got on ladders and looked at the roof of the barn, and yes as long as he can get a dry day he can repair the roof so there's no more leaks...

In the meantime I had the internet engineers here..one on a hoist up the telegraph pole, the other drilling into the brick outside my front door to feed new fibre optic into the house..
Once they'd finished nothing would connect..so that took another while to try and work out , and get it all up and running... but I still can't get my google hub to connect to the internet

My cancer health team prescribed me free Ensure Plus to gain and maintain weight ahead of and during chemo. I got 4 cases and more coming. I never tried it before but love the taste..... That's the problem. Trying not to drink it all before chemo even starts.....lol.
 
After about 26 hours, my neighborhood finally got our electricity back. A day without a furnace supplying heat during a brutal ice and snowstorm. There is still the problem of where do we put any additional snow?:mad:
That reminds me of a neighbor down the hall. 5 seconds after our power goes out, I hear a door open and she's walking up and down the hall asking people if their power is working, on the phone calling everyone (building owner, electric company, food stamp office and the mayor). The power has never been out more than 2 hours. I usually just watch a movie on my laptop, read something or take a nap.
 
@hollydolly As my mama used to say "you're not holding your mouth right." She up and died, she did, and never told me the right way to hold my mouth ;) .

It looks as though you're in the home stretch, though. Is it okay to uncross my fingers on one hand at least? So hard to type this way...

Off to the dentist. Pray for my bank account.
I'm praying for your bank account Gigi..... I have the dentist tomorrow, I'm dreading it

We have a number to call during a power failure. They give an estimate and updates. It's automated.
 
I've got the Bacon joint on now boiling ,in readiness to prepare Bacon /lentil & veggie soup......most of which I'll freeze...

I'm getting 2 different accounts of the weather being reported for tomorrow...my phone says it's going to be heavy snow.. my weather app says it's going to be rainy....:unsure:
 
@Trila Try artificial tears for your eyes. My ophthalmologist told me years ago that they would help. She was right. And maybe it's time for you to visit one? Not an optometrist or optician, an MD who specializes in eyes.

It's cold here again but sunny for now. If the lord's willing and the creeks don't rise (as we used to say in Texas), we'll only get cold rain here tomorrow, and the sNOw will stay a good bit north of us.

Dentist appointment this morning to get my dentures relined and the lowers either repaired or replaced. I'm expecting my little stash of cash to disappear before noon :mad:

@hollydolly Maybe by now all those IT problems have been resolved. I've had my fingers crossed🤞🤞
Thanks for the good advice, and for caring! 😘

I've been vision impaired most of my life. Right now, I have an excellent doctor caring for me. I also use a variety of artificial tears.

Unfortunately, I have also been diagnosed with "Chronic Sinusitis". When my sinuses act up it also affects my eyes and vision. I think that is what is happening, now.
 
Hoping to do 2 loads of laundry after Young & Restless. Then must order online for delivery Friday. Must get to bank Thursday for Friday delivery.

Tomorrow is Grandson Day. Will arrive 9:30 am to spend day with him. He off school this whole week. Wasn't he just off for weeks for Christmas, Winter Vac? Now what is the occasion? Not sure.

AccessARide scheduled to pick me up tomorrow at 8am. I will get up at 4am for preparation. I will go to bed even earlier tonight than I usually do.

I'm doing the best I can.
