Not a lot done today...it's sleeted all day.

DD came over this morning and we both took this young man to the salon.... now doesn't he look all handsome?

Unfortunately the govt have decreed that now all dogs can only be groomed in the event of an emergency where it's deemed to adversely affect the dogs' health so the groomer only did this today because it had been booked in advance...how having the dog groomed is making difference to C-19 cases I haven't a clue... 🤦‍♀️

I can actually answer your question. When grooming salons closed in mid-March I didn't pay too much attention although our dog was due for a grooming in early April. A couple of months later he was obviously in need of a haircut, but was also not doing well. Lethargic and very poor appetite.

Our groomer began (not quite legally) taking animals with whom she'd had a long history, so we got an appointment. When he came home he was like a new dog. We hadn't realized how overheated he'd become with the combination of his too-heavy coat and hot weather.

No I think you misunderstand me SS.. I meant I have no idea why the govt is not allowing dogs to be groomed. How would grooming a dog cause C-19 to anyone ?
 
I watched my favorite game shows this morning, went to the store and bought some Mega Millions lottery. I rarely play the lottery but thought since I heard it was something like 750 million at least now I'd give it a shot. I didn't spend a lot on it.

I just baked some barbequed Western ribs with great northern beans, onions and mushrooms and brown rice.

Now I'm about to take doggie out for a walk, it's a nice day today and about 45 degrees F. Listening to some music and birdie song for the bird.
 
I did my morning chores and then kept an appointment with my Gastroenterologist who advised me that my ulcerative colitis is still in remission, but he still believes that I should have a colonoscopy later this year after I get my second COVID shot and after I finally finish the remaining hormone treatment for prostrate cancer.

My blood work showed that I am still slightly anemic and that my blood glucose has gone up to 106 where it has never been before. He advised me that these are both being driven by the LUPRON hormone treatment and that I should not be overly concerned. I also get to blame the eight pounds on LUPRON, although virtual celebrations on this forum may have contributed. He insists that 168 lbs. was still a pretty good weight for me.

Yes, I did misunderstand you, Holly, even though you'd written it out quite clearly. Oops! o_O

In answer to the question you DID ask (but I missed), I don't know how grooming would cause or spread C-19.
 
Unfortuantely my 'road trip' with Mary to Kohl's was uneventful,they didn't have anything worth buying
Instead,we went to grocery store'Price Rite' where we both needed a couple items
When we got home,I took my mid morning walk
After lunch,nap,took my last walk of the day went around the block
 
I did my early morning chores and then kept my standing date with Sally Miele the vacuum cleaner. We just finished the downstairs and I am about to hold Friday cleanup in my upstairs office/gym/cat palace. Kaley the cat is not much help during this part of my household cleaning responsibilities.

I am still a bit unhappy that my Doctor referred to me as an "elderly" patient in his paperwork. Just when does a person become "elderly", I am pretty sure that it is not 78.
 
I went on my early morning walk around 7am didn't have to wear boots, no snow on the ground.The temp was 35 no wind was refreshing
This morning I'm going to wash my living room/bedroom furniture with Murphy's Oil Soap.I've been putting this off for a week or so,tired of looking at the dust
The rest of my day,read the local paper,my book take a couple walks {weather permitting}
