Did You Accomplish Anything Today?

Did nothing today...it's snowed so it's dangerous to go out and walk in it...

hubs has 4 days off work.. so we just chilled today.. Tomorrow we have to collect his car from the garage.. then Tuesday I have an appointment with my consultant, and he's not permitted to accompany me because of the C-19 restrictions.. ( private hospital not NHS)... but he's going to come anyway and just wait in the car. He keeps himself amused watching racing or something on his phone..

Wednesday if it doesn't snow, we're going to go and visit DD at her new house a 3.5 hour round trip at best if traffic is light . I've been there already she and I went to view it together, but by Wednesday she'll have been there a week, and got new things installed, Fridge freezer, washing machine, TV etc.. and hubs hasn't seen it yet, so we'll go then because he's back to work the following day..

It is a gorgeous day here, be jealous 🤣. 53 degrees, mild wind, bright sunny day, and because we had a bit of snow a couple days ago, everything is clean and fresh. The kind of day you dream about when, hmm, it is really snowing.

Course, we are in the middle of a drought, and everyone’s lawns will die this summer as there will be a water shortage, but, today, today, is perfect weather.

Wish you were here 😍.
 
I’m counting on the stores being quiet on SB afternoon. Even though I ordered the groceries online, I want to get some flowers for my friend. If I arrive and it’s busy, I’ll leave.
 

Accomplishments rated low on the scale today, just like yesterday.
Morning cleaning chores......Guys had to out 3 times more often to get their jobs done, -28 today......my poor wee girl, Shaalee, i carry her out, so it gives her a better chance to do her jobs, only 1 job per trip, so that makes 2 trips each time, x 6 times a day......Micki and Noah spend too much time when they go out eating snow, wasted time, go in to get warm, then out again for real business.
Trying to make my broken butt feel better.........i should check the internet, and see if i can buy a new butt........shipping might cost a fortune.
That's it for uselessness........<<<<<<< Wow........did you see that long word.......that must be an accomplishment.......<<<<<<another one.

Are you in an apartment or a house, I feel like know the answer but senior moment 😂. Upstairs apartment, I think? You really should go see your doctor about your butt. Is it feeling better at all? Yup, I have to take Bella out too many times. I just am not successful with more than one dog.

Ever since the covid plague started I've been home bound in order to avoid contagion. As usual, I don't accomplish much but did watch the Super Bowl (I have seen each of the SB's played) and made a tasty chicken dinner roast.

You don’t go out at all? I went out a little in the beginning, then a little bit more, and now I just go out when I need to as usual. Just pop a mask on and a face shield, take wipes or hand sanitizer, and off you go. The virus is going to be with us for a few more years.

Living in our own private bubbles just isn‘t going to work much longer. I, personally, am going to die from a puppy bite. She drew blood again this morning-stupid puppy.

DD has terrace ( patio doors) off her very large kitchen in her new house so it's very handy for the 3 dogs to get out and in the garden with ease.. and also not onto carpet when they come back in...
 
They say us ladies like to rearrange furniture. Not me.

But I will spend the day rearranging my kitchen, do not like where the microwave is and want to try to get more stuff off the counters and into cupboards and drawers. Time to purge maybe, do I really need 3 baking sheets, 3 muffin tins. And I need to find my cake tins, I know they are somewhere.
 
I have a ham in the oven now. My turn to deliver food to the elderly couple home from the hospital tomorrow.
I will slice the ham and fry up some pineapple slices with brown sugar and butter to arrange a nice platter.
They love ham so I will give them enough to make sandwiches for a few days too.

Don't have a family and do not drive a car. Aside from grocery shopping or visits to the doctor/dentist, the only time I go out is to watch youth sports. Will have to put any such plans on hold until the plague is stopped ~ hopefully this will happen soon!

Because of my torn hip I don’t drive right now either 🙁and we went down to only one car since there is really no where to go. The virus is not going to stop any time soon, if ever.

Wow, way to cold for me. It’s good you are in a house with three dogs. I wish I could have two 😂, does not ever work for me. I just want a dog that will bite Bella back and teach her to STOP biting so darn hard.

I watched the news this morning and a scientist said that the virus may not go away at all. History does show that the tuberculosis vaccine was developed in the early 1920s and that the last NYC TB ward was closed in 1955. But the health department continued to send agents to our schools right up until 1964 to check whether children were still being harmed by that dreaded disease. Let's hope we can at least return to some semblance of normality soon.
 
I've been unable to use the computer in my office room all afternoon... hubs has taken an air -brick out and is filling the space with fire-retardant accoustic foam, because it's so chilly in there and noisy... so I'm downstairs in front of the TV using my Ipad...

I shoveled 6 - 8 inches of snow with my neighbors help and had a nice conversation. Then I drove to my mom's and took her grocery shopping. Then I made her lunch and we celebrated Valentine's day early cuz we're getting MORE snow tomorrow and I'm getting tired. Then I drove her home and shoveled some more and chopped some ice that was in my driveway when I got back. I'm tired and will probably take a nap this afternoon. Much needed.

I can see it better now that I am not bleeding like a pig. I think she bit and her tooth got stuck and tore my hand further. Not her fault, I suppose, so I did not kill her and I’ll take the duct tape off her mouth tomorrow. 🤣🤣🤣

Every time I train a pup I will not tolerate a dog that bites me or nips me. I break that habit real quick.
Let's just say that every dog I had developed an understanding that it was not a good idea to bite me.
This comes in real handy if I ever have to reach in their mouth to remove something.
The last thing they want to do is bite me because they understand that it might actually be the last thing they do.
 
Aneeda,

Just to clarify. It's a training regimen that I really don't want to get into but I want to make it clear I don't hurt my dogs.
Simply put...
1. A dog is a pack animal.
2. They arrive in my house and are now part of a "new Pack".
3. They need to know that I am the "alpha wolf"
4. Never, ever mess with the Alpha wolf.

I didn’t think you hurt them. Bella simply does not understand, IMO, cause we don’t have another dog to bite back so she can learn. But two dogs are three times as much work.
