Well..... it matches @Pam
How, you ask?πŸ€”
Ummmm...... Pam has a blue outfit as well. 😊😁
So it seems to me, they're both perfect.

Pam's hair style is hard to match....πŸ˜πŸ˜†πŸ˜…πŸ€£

Good morning, all.

It's equally cold, here.
A bit colder than Kate's, actually.
Yikes. It's frigid, out there. πŸ˜¬πŸ˜±πŸ˜–

Unfortunately, I have a very important doctor appointment, so I'm trying to go to it. 🫀

The half moon was brilliant, in the totally clear, crisp blue sky, this morning.
Yes, it was still visible.
Wondrous sight.

Have a good morning, each of you.
 
Good morning Kaila and friends,
Happy Aniversary to many of you
I know I have not been here for a year.

We got our first big snowstorm the other day so we are catching up with things we missed
We finally had a chance to try out our new snowblower. It works great. It spits out rocks from our driveway so the dogs have to be inside. Our youngest one doesn’t really like that. He thinks all outdoor jobs are for him to go on so he’s not a happy boy being inside with me. He is sulking.

Anyway, I hope you are all having a happy day today.

Oh dear, I missed the party and I do love a good party.

Kaila, you’re a real role model. You’ve been through a lot and have come through this year smiling in spite of all the obstacles.
Thank you. πŸ’—
That brought tears to my eyes.

I'm very grateful for you and for all of you.

And I'm very grateful for the posts that each of you add to this thread.
And for the support and encouragement.


I'm also glad that I made it to this particular appointment of mine, today.
(And glad that I did not freeze in place, while out. πŸ˜‰πŸ˜ŠπŸ˜)

My head doctor that I've had for the full year, since transitioning back out of hospital and nursing home/rehab, in Jan last year....
She's moving on to a different job now , elsewhere, so this was my final time to see her.

Hated to say goodbye to her, but thankful for her crucial help.

So obviously, i did Not want to have to miss this appointment, due to either the extreme cold or due to my physical challenges.
And I didn't miss it.
Got some good ideas, which she had always been good at.

Dh is having a good day, today.
I'm so thankful for that.

Time to eat and then rest or nap.

Good Afternoon, Kaila and Friends. πŸ€— :coffee:🌲

As Kate mentioned, it's freezing today! I didn't have to take Lucius out even once yesterday because husband and son covered all the walks. And I did treadmill this morning because husband again took the morning walk. But I made a point of taking the afternoon walk, because, sheesh, fairness.

The nicest thing happened though. I was all bundled up and a little cold, but not freezing and when it looked for a minute like it might start snowing I was actually kind of charmed by the idea. Such a reaction is very unusual for me and I don't know where it came from, but I'm glad of it. I'd rather work with my environment, you know?

@Kaila, Glad you made it to your appointment today and that it went well, even if it was the last visit with this doctor. Do you have another lined up? Or maybe the office assigns one?

Everybody stay warm today! Patty's got the coffee covered so here's some hot chocolate. ;) πŸ₯•πŸ₯•πŸ₯•

G'night everyone. I'll be climbing under the blankets earlier than usual... caught a chill this morning and just can't get rid of it. When I got up at 4 a.m., it was 8 degrees and a few hours later dropped to 4*. I'll probably dream of being on a tropical island somewhere. That would be nice! 🌴

I'm happy to hear that you were able to make it to your appointment today, Kaila, and that your Dh is having a good day, too! I hope you'll like and trust your new doc just as much as the one who's leaving.

Sure could use some of that hot chocolate right now, @Medusa ... extra 'mallows, please! πŸ˜‹

Good morning, everyone. Sorry to hear that you're feeling poorly @CallMeKate - hope you feel better soon. πŸ₯• Now... regarding marshmallows, looks like you might not get (m)any - not if Kaila and myself get to them first. :cool:

I'm just waiting on a grocery delivery, checked my email and they have everything I ordered so that's good. I'll take Rocco out for a walk after that. It's a bit blustery out there but at least it's not raining - yet!
 
Good mornings Kaila and friends

@Kaila / I hope you get a new doctor you like as much as the one that’s leaving. I have the same thing happening to me. I really like my doctor but he’s moving to Ontario.

@CallMeKate / I hope you are feeling fine after your chill

@Pam / do you like your grocery service ?
Does Rocco like walking in the snow?

@Medusa / I like walking in the snow. It’s nice.
Do you normally take turns walking your dog ?

@Pappy / I like your bonfire photo. It’s very soothing

@Ruthanne / Nice of you to drop by

My husband just laid down for a nap. He was up at 2:00 . Poor guy. He doesn’t sleep well at all. Hopefully he’ll feel better when he gets back up.

Have a great day everyone!
 
@PeppermintPatty - Hope your husband feels better after his nap.

Re walking Rocco in snow, in this corner of north west England, we get very little snow. Usually, it's a very light sprinkling, rather like the dusting of icing sugar on a cake. I came back here (my home town) the 1980s and can count on one hand the number of times snow has settled and it's been about an inch or two at the most and not lasted. So, to answer your question, there's never been any settled snow when I've had Rocco so I'm not sure how he'd react to it. If we get any this winter then I'll test him out and let you know. My gut feeling is that he'll probably refuse to go out. :ROFLMAO:

Yes, I too was wondering and hoping that
@CallMeKate would be feeling better, this morning. πŸ’—

And that was so funny, regarding marshmallows. πŸ˜ƒπŸ˜„πŸ˜
 
Good morning, one & all... even you marshmallow-snatchers. (I know who you are 'cause you left a trail like Hansel and Gretel... one to England and one to another part of the east coast US!!) Everyone good today? I'm ready to charge headfirst into Wednesday... anyone need a ride?

Oh I'm glad you know who it was.... so you know it wasn't me, right?πŸ™„πŸ˜¬πŸ™„πŸ˜¬πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«πŸ˜–πŸ₯Έ

P.s. Did you get over that chill? Were you able to sleep well enough?
 
@PeppermintPatty
That was such a thoughtful and caring post, for so many posters. β˜ΊοΈπŸ’“
Thank you for all that effort and concentration. So kind.

I hope your husband's day will improve.

I had a vague memory that it might be you, who also had an important doctor leaving. I hope you can get one that is good for you.!
They are definitely not all equally fine!
And it's often difficult here just to get any one.
It's it difficult there where you are?
Have you made any headway toward finding one?

This particular doctor of mine, is at an office of specialists, and they are giving me someone else there. I spoke to her for just a sentence or two, in the hallway. And I read the bio she wrote for herself, and she might be good.
I hope so, but i am still feeling the sadness of Dr B leaving. πŸ˜•

My thanks to others of you, as well,
who asked and commented about that, too.
