Spring Is Not Here Yet

We have more snow.  Serious snow.  I think we got around seven or eight inches.  Schools, businesses, etc. closed.  Some are just starting to reopen today.  

When I got up the first morning, our driveway and front walk were completely cleared.  MANY thanks to our very nice neighbor!  I know it was him because the only foot prints were from his house across the street to our side.  There were no tire tracks out there either.

Les and I are okayish.  The nurse and the Physical Therapist both came early Wednesday morning before the snow started. He is doing what he can.

We've been reading and watching some favorite shows.  I am feeling better, not great yet, but better, and have been doing some little extra odds and ends.

The downed limb, branches, and "stuff" that came down are all still out there in the yard.  It's all covered up with snow right now.


I need to refill the bird feeder soon.  There have been lots of visitors.  Finnigan almost wore himself out looking out the window watching!  This picture was taken shortly after the snow started.

Took this picture yesterday.

Take care of yourselves and stay safe. Be kind.  Life is still good.  And God Bless America!

No, We Have Not Fallen Off Earth


It's been a month since I've posted anything.  Lots going on.  Lack of time and energy.

Les fell twice and injured his back.  He fell because he had no strength due to another infection.  I called 911 and the EMTs were here quickly.  The hospital was a mess though.  It was so very crowded that Les was on a stretcher in the ER hallway all day.  Eventually he was admitted but we had to wait until there was a room for them to take him to.  After a couple days he was discharged, and we have had home health nurses, physical therapists, and an occupational therapist coming several times a week. Also had several doctor appointments and follow-up appointments. He is slowly getting a bit better, and still using the walker.

Shortly after getting him home, I got sick.  Our PCP wasn't available and I saw a PA who told me I had a virus after she tested me for Covid and Flu.  Those were both negative.  Told me to use Sudafed and Tylenol and I'd be better in three or four days.  I wasn't.  So I went to Med Express and was told I had acute bronchitis.  First thing they did was give me a steroid injection, then a thirty minute breathing treatment, then a chest x-ray.  It is now week three.  I have finished the steroid prescription, the antibiotics, and am still using the inhaler.  I am getting better, but still coughing more than I would like.

And that all explains why there have been no posts. I am helping Les as much as he needs and trying to get better.  Everything else is just not getting done.

Our weather has been cold, gray, and wet.  Although we did have a touch of snow again yesterday.

Take care of yourselves and stay safe.  Life is still good.  I am still ready for Spring.  And God Bless America!
