For the past hour, I've had a long piece of wire with the end bent up like a hook, trying to fish my shed key out of a deep grid outside my house. I managed to find my key and also a small (what looks like silver) chain with a little medal on it. I've got them all soaking in a hot water and a drop of bleach. 😊

Update:

The little chain I think is silver, so too is the little oval medal, but I couldn't make out what the image was or the very tiny wording, so I took it over the road to Nora, she is brilliant at figuring out these things, well, all women are, aren't they? 😊
And I got a chicken sandwich and a big mug of tea, I may do a bit more fishing in that grid tomorrow. 😊
 
Nothing very exciting here. Today is our weekly housecleaning day and I have a date with Sally Meile the vacuum cleaner and her brother Henry the leaf blower. Today is uncommonly warm and I expect to get in a 2 or 3 mile walk this afternoon.

I was up at two this morning. Woke up to a bloody nose of all things! It has taken forever to get it stopped. Now I will not lay back down or sit in my recliner. I am afraid of getting another one and getting blood on the recliner. I already got it on my new nightgown. So my plan now is to drink coffee and stay still.

If you take aspirin for something else, or anything with any aspirin in it, then you know to stop taking it, now, till after the bleeding has healed up well, right? It's a potent blood thinner.

Thank you for that kind message above, too, katlupe,
and thanks, @hollydolly for hers too, and every other one,
( Trila....and others!) that all of you wrote for me! 💌💌💌

First day off after grueling long holiday work stint and although I slept in I still feel like someone poured molasses in my brain. So I'm doing mostly mindless stuff til my sleep catches up. Oy vey

I know that feeling very well. It used to take me until the second sometimes the 3rd day off after a hard block of work.. to actually feel like a human again...

It has snowed lightly all day and is starting to add up 🤦🏻‍♀️.

I got a call from my oldest son. He was able to find his brothers grave and sent me a few pictures, showing me that it was well kept. Also turned out to be only a 15 minute drive from his SO,s mother’s house.

He placed flowers on the grave and said anytime I wanted to go there he would take me. But I cannot go again ever. This section of the graveyard was kept for infants that died at the local children’s hospital. It is filled with small graves of very young babies. Too many memories-too much sadness.

He says they will go every year. 😍

I'm doing the same thing I do every day. I'm worried about my 11 yr old granddaughter who woke up today with stomach pains and vomiting, my grandson tested positive for the covid and I'm getting ready to go to my doctor's appointment.

Hope your granddaughter feels better soon.
Sorry your grandson has to deal with covid......hope it's not too serious and he's on a quick recovery.
 
It's unseasonably warm here for December 55 deg today but it hasn't stopped raining for almost an entire week... It's caused all the country lanes surrounding my house to be flooded, so people are staying home wherever possible. fortunately my house is at the top of the hill so unaffected by ground flooding, but it does mean a bit of aquaplaning if I want to drive anywhere because I have to drive down through the lanes and through woodland roads... ..so I choose not to.. but I do have to go out tomorrow to take my car for it's annual MOT ....and the forecast is for more rain....:cautious:
 
Going to venture out for groceries.
Don't have to do any snow shoveling.
Some extra laundry.

Trying to get over my pouting session......this does sound selfish, but here goes.
After supper on the 23, i had my foster daughter pick up the Christmas gifts.
She mentioned 2 of the kids were getting sniffles, the third one was at his dads.
In the afternoon on Christmas Eve she decided to drive an hour.....to get the kids and herself tested, which she told me when they got home at 5:30.
Of all the sniffles, colds they've had since covid started, she didn't have them tested.
So, had to quarantine till results got back.....which came back negative for the kids on Christmas day, and hers negative on boxing day.
Her partner didn't get tested. ???????? not sure why.

Last year due to covid we couldn't be together, but she brought over a nice Christmas supper.
But.....
She didn't this year......why not.....don't know.....she just came to the door and left it last year......nothing this year.
Wasn't prepared for making my own.......so had a TV dinner.
No sign of a supper coming.
Trying to get over this.

I could understand why you are bothered about this. Could be that she was feeling wiped out with taking care of the 3 kids. However, since she would have made dinner for them, a bit extra for you would have been a nice gesture.

You are going out to get groceries when is -41 degrees? How? How do you go out in that temperature and not freeze to death instantly? How is it a car can even start in that cold? How is it that the food you buy doesn’t freeze before you get home? How are you dogs still alive? Did I misread what you wrote temperate wise?

It is 4 degrees here. I have that meeting today. I really do not want to go although it will warm -to 17 or so. My car will be warm. But I still have to walk back and forth to the car. Ugh.
 
Oh, my! I've spent the whole morning catching up with an old friend from hs! I guess this will be a short post....I'm getting hungry!

Andy set a new record yesterday...he slept in the kitchen for 8 hrs! He's there now, I think he's trying to beat his own best record!

I hear my tummy calling for breakfast. I better give it something, before it gets really mad at me!

Gosh, that gloomy weather, combined with some apprehension over hoping the car will pass....is not a good combination!:confused::rolleyes:
And aquaplaning does not sound like much fun, either. And areas of both homes and streets, as well as nature spots, flooded. Ugh.

Hopefully better days are coming. Hang in there, Holly!
