Yesterday, my appointment with my new doctor went well……trying a increase on one of my antidepressants in the morning, check back with her in a couple of weeks, to see how it’s working.
Watched it snow again, yesterday, only half a day, the sun actually came out for an hour…..last week we enjoyed sun for only half a day….that was it for the week.
OMG……got a message from my foster daughter yesterday……after 2 weeks since the last message.
If I sound sarcastic, I mean it to be.
A couple short messages…..she has yet to read my last reply from yesterday……the content was the usual, about her.😕.
No offers on help with the snow. 😕.

Guess what……it’s sNOwing…..just as forecasted……fairly heavy.
I got lazy yesterday…..didn’t shovel…..will make up for it today.

I’m sure I mentioned my foster daughter only lives 10 blocks away.
We don’t text or do phone calls….she buys minutes when she has the money.
So we use messenger for our communication, calls, because it’s free…..but she can’t seem to bother much.

Okay, I’m a slow learner……my place…..holiday and birthday gift giver…..sigh.

I hope to spend more time downstairs going through stuff, in between shoveling.🌨❄️🌨❄️🌨❄️🌨❄️🌨❄️🌨❄️🌨❄️.
 
Morning everyone....the weather is cold here again today,
I have my son's dog..long story...I'm trying to keep him warm in the garage because he is not potty trained..It's been a real adjustment for me and him lol, just let him out and noticed he'd left 3 piles of poop for me to clean up. He is a cute little French Bulldog named Louie, chunky and tough as nails..anyway that's the news at my house.

My half sister, who lives in another state, has called me 3 days in a row-early in the morning. Delaying my walk. 🙄. This is the most she called me in 10 years. Why am I always the one who has to keep touch?

She is still upset with the younger half sister and wants to talk about it. Ok. She is not telling her daughter about how upset she is with this sister. OK. She tells me she is done talking to any of the others half siblings. Ok. And that she’s told her daughter that when she dies she is only to let me know so I can put it on ancestry. Ok.

But then, in the course of the conversation, she mentions she is leaving everything, including her house to her daughter. 😳. What? I say; “I thought I was getting your house. I was looking forward to moving.” 😂😂😂

You can’t get your foster daughter to shovel sNOw. I can’t get my half sister to leave me her house. Relatives. What good are they? 😉

French bulldogs are so cute and very expensive. You could buy a crate and keep him in the house, and potty train him that way. I think a bulldogs is single coated so probably needs to be inside depending on how cold it is outside.

I googled it. Most of them have single coats, some brindles are double coated. Not telling you want to do, according to Google they don’t do well on the cold.

You should take on the task, potty train that little guy!!! He will learn fast, then he can be in the house in your lap. who knows, you may not give him back. My Mom did that to me, left the dog with her to go on vacation. She would not give her back when we got home. She fell in puppy love!! LOL

Well, if the dog gets on her lap, she needs a towel. They shed a lot. Depends on how old the dog is and how hard the breed is to train. Potty training can be hard. Stella is now about 15 months old and just starting to understand that the toilet is outside.

She gets a little freedom in the apartment but is watched closely. If we moved, we’d have to start training all over again as I am sure she won’t generalize the training. But dogs belong inside at night unless they are working dogs that are working. Just my opinion.

During the day, inside, outside, whatever like kids. 😂. Get out of the frig, get out of the house, go do something.
 
The work news so far is all good! Maybe they finally figured out that I'm burning out at a pretty good clip. Next week's schedule suddenly changed, and I'm off on Monday and Thursday. Thursday! Thanksgiving Day. Woohoo. (Good thing, too, because DD doesn't cook.)

Sir is on vacation for a week as soon as inventory is done on Monday after Thanksgiving, and I will very likely start working four days a week after that.

Newbie is very sick. Sick enough to see a doc this morning. She volunteered to bring in a doctor's note, although it's not required. I believe her because she's experienced homelessness and wouldn't just lay out without pay for shi!ts and giggles. I hope she's better soon, though, because having her there last week was a tremendous relief and a big help.

So my frame of mind is much improved today. Yay.

ETA: another thing...I tried to watch orangutan's Big Announcement last night but fell asleep. No loss.

I re-scheduled my dog's vet appt. due to ice. It's gone now, but I was nervous about it earlier. So, we go on the 30th.

Bought 2 & 1/2 lbs of Kentucky Legend ham yesterday. Sliced. Not deli-fine slices, but thicker. It's delicious. Have potatoes and onions. I may dig out my V-Slicer (cheapo mandolin) and play with that for awhile to make a ham and scalloped potato casserole.
 
Doctor appointment in 2 hours. It's walking distance (even for me), but I'll drive so they won't see my canes. The less they know about me, the better.

Trivia game tonight.

I've been taking it easy for a week, as I recover from my cold. I love doing nothing except Internet and a bit of puttering. Too bad I can't do this all the time.

Oh well, I'm fortunate to have a nice apartment and a healthy body, so I need to take care of them. I just wish there was ... more to life? If the pandemic(s) were over I'd be out breathing on people and letting them breathe on me. Maybe.
 
Thought I'd report in. Sick in bed. Possible covid. I did a rapid outside at work yesterday and it was negative. Also one to be sent to the lab. Going back tomorrow for another rapid if the lab sample doesn't come back positive first. I can't imagine I got a regular cold anyplace since I wear and n95 everywhere and I was exposed Saturday at work. Symptoms started Monday.

Feel. lousy, possible mild temp last evening but no shortness of breath. Horrible cough. Hurt all over. I can't imagine going to work this friday and saturday. Hope they won't be mad. One of my covid positive co-workers was out for well over 2 weeks. She's back as I saw her car yesterday at work.

Sorry you feel so bad. Sometimes the way we got sick can be a mystery. Maybe somebody touched something, and you touched it a few minutes later.

I hope you feel better soon. Take care, and don't worry about anyone being mad. You're sick, and you need to rest!

I get it, I have 3 dogs, all potty trained. The one that was the hardest was my little girl. I adopted her from the shelter when she was 12 weeks old. She was born at the shelter. I met her MOM and siblings.

I am so sorry you are sick!! I feel bad somedays but I have been lucky for a long time. Of course, I am not out in the world working and being exposed to germs like so many that have no choice.

What worries me more, if you are alone, like me. When we get sick there is no one to bring us hot soup, a cup of tea, go pick up medicine at the pharmacy. If we get sick, we have to figure out how to take care of ourselves.

When you can get in the kitchen, place a bunch of canned soups on the counter and a pan on the stove. Put a bunch of tea bags there. I get out many cups and spoons for the soup and hot liquids. I put a sleeve or two of saltines by my bedside table with any medication. I put a few bottles of water beside the bed. I don't have to have water or drinks cold, room temp is fine. I put soda and juice on the floor beside the bed so I don't have to get up. Any snacks you might like can be put in a little basket there.

I hope it is not covid and will feel better soon!!
 
I did some grocery shopping, in prep for the alleged winter storm we are getting this weekend. Just wanted to be stocked up on some fresh things,
In a couple hours I will be meeting down stairs for our weekly decaf and snack Wednesday...at 7PM. I am bring a cheese and cracker tray from my shopping. It is a nice opportunity to get out of the apartment
 
Finally got a 57 for the wife. It's apart, but, there's enough there to work with. Already prepping it for paint. Found some 05 Cadillac seats that look like they'll fit. Oh yeah, assembling a 502 big block with a super T-10 4 speed for it. :)
Digging around my parts and I think I have enough stuff to re-do the front end and add disc brakes.

I actually like the way it’s “colored” now.
 
Went to Applebees for lunch and got a cheeseburger, in case I die tomorrow I would have had a good lunch 😂😂. Nothing to eat or drink after 11 pm. Surgery will be at 7 am. I am not really worried about the surgery, it’s the possibly of another infection that’s making me crazed.
