What's on your agenda for today?

OMG! First it's the common cold, now it's computer viruses. Whatever shall we do? LOL!

I asked my son last night what he was going to buy with his first paycheck. Light bulbs. Yes. Light bulbs. For the past year he's been using his money to pay rent/utilities and buy groceries for himself and food for his kitty. Now he can buy light bulbs! I bet he was up half the night making a list:)

Holly and Ameriscot, I order you to get better. Gramma has spoken and NOBODY defies Gramma.

It's cold and sunny this morning. We may really get ice/sNOw Monday into Tuesday. Or not. Mother Nature isn't real good about telling the truth.
 
Very good news, Georgia, we never stop worrying about our children.
The sun is coming up over the trees, another beautiful day here....soon to change though...today is 'help my mom' day.

Would you like some cheese with that whine? :sentimental: I am still coughing after three weeks of it and have talked to people that have had the same stuff going around for weeks. Feel better soon.

Yes, please! And a bottle of whisky...for medicinal purposes of course. ;)

I was still not totally over the last cold with bad cough when I caught another strain on the plane. So I have not been totally cough-free for well over a month. I've heard from others that it takes ages to get over this current strain. Our friends on the plane with us also have it, one is worse than me.

Nope, we never stop worrying about our children no matter how old they get!
 
And as they get older, they never stop worrying about us..."What are we going to do about Mom/Dad?" How do I know this? I remember worrying about Mom/Dad.

BTW, Happy Valentine's Day, kids. Bring on the chocolate!
 
Don't want to get a controversy started about the Senior Flu shot here, but........our flu shots sure are working for us! Actually, I got both a Senior Flu and a Pneumonia one this year. If we start getting a little cough or congestion, we will take a otc cold med once and it's gone. I don't like getting shots, but I sure will for this. Have had a serious flu that turned into a spot of pneumonia on my one lung. Thru antibiotics, got rid of that. The year I got that, I didn't get a flu shot.

I don't know if what I have or had before was/is flu. No fever. No muscle aches. And I did get flu jab in November before our trip. Apparently it was only 3% effective in the UK this winter.
 
Not long got back from the Farm shop..it's about a 30 mile round trip but it's such a good farm shop it's worth going the extra miles rather than using a local one. Spent way too much money as usual; but got some wonderful cheeses including Black pepper chowder , Fig and date Olive oils and vinegars, fruit , (gorgeous ripe figs and some purple cabbage) organic meat and fish...and some organic chocolate cake and sweets...yuummmy.... well it is Valentines day so feeling a little guilty before he left for work hubs pushed a tenner in my hand and said ''buy yourself sumthin''...so I got the chocolate.. :D:D
 
Since it is supposed to snow today, I won't be able to go spend Valentine's Day with hubby in hospice. I did send him some flowers and I bought him a stuffed dog that looks a lot like our dog, Suki. I'll take him the stuffed dog when I next see him. When I talked to him on the phone last night, he said they weighed him yesterday and he weighs 140 lbs. - he used to weigh 210 lbs. when healthier. When friends see him at visiting time, they barely recognize him.

A couple of hours ago, I gassed up the car which probably was unnecessary as with snow coming I don't drive unless it's a dire emergency.
 
OH Kath..so sorry to hear your hubby is soo poorly and also lost so much weight and you won't be able to spend Valentines day with him like you'd wish, but it's sensible for you not to go out in the snow. I do hope you get to see him as soon as you can, and spend some precious time together , at least you can keep in touch by phone for now..not ideal but at least something better than nothing at all..
 
Kath, hope you got to speak to your husband and sorry you couldn't visit.

Coughed a lot less last night. Husband is much better but not 100%. He's going to mass this morning for the first time since Nov.

I've mainly only been keeping the kitchen clean and doing laundry, so I'm going to do some housework while he's at church.
 
being it' minis 15 right now I will be spending the day trying to keep this old house warm....adding wood to the fire and reading a good book....
 
Kath, I hope the snow is over in your area and you get to visit your hubby soon.

We are having another storm day so will be inside all day and staying warm.
There is a lot of snow on the ground and it's snowing now so it will be hard to find space
to pile more.
I do like the four seasons but winter seems to last longer than spring, summer and fall.
One good point about the cold winter is there are no bugs to aggravate us. :)
 
Dinner with the kids and grandkids

One plus side to winter.. The clothing... I love winter clothing... warm sweaters and coats... they cover up many more sins than summer clothes.. and I agree about that "bug" thing..
 
Good cold morning! It's only 20F here, unusually cold for us, and not supposed to even reach 40F today. National weather service says no accumulation of sNOw tomorrow and less than a half inch of ice. Local TV says 2" of sNOw and ice. Some area schools have a scheduled school holiday for Presidents' Day and the ones that don't have already cancelled classes. I hope this turns out to be yet another non-event.

Y'all will be glad to hear that I not only cleaned up my hovel yesterday (at least 15 grueling minutes of back-breaking labor) but remembered to dust, too. Yay me?

Ameriscot, sounds like your whiskey for medicinal purposes is just the ticket:)

Kath, has the weather stopped being a nuisance long enough for you to visit your husband today? I could try waving my magic wand, but I don't know if it has long-distance powers.
 
The good news just keeps coming. Son just called to tell me that he starts working tomorrow morning already! I figured he'd start March 1, but it sounds as though they're just tired of the work not getting done while having to babysit one inept contractor after another. So far they've been through three in three months. They are probably relieved that they've got a known quantity now and they won't have to hover over him, and are anxious to get their various "shows" back on the road.

This means a paycheck sooner. Light bulbs sooner:)

Great news! :)
 
Georgia...very good news!

I just dragged the trash cans down to the curb for the trash guys to pick up. The big problem is that it snowed so much last night that it's hard to figure out where the curb is!
 
Not wanting to spread my cooties/virus/lurgy around the gym, I'm staying home again. But I will be cleaning the bathrooms, doing at least a partial dumbbells routine, but not doing any cardio, and might start on sorting out husband's massive collection of tshirts as I can't fit them all in the drawers and he won't get rid of the raggedy ones. And bought even more of them in Thailand!
