Chele, thanks for the start. We have wind and rain coming this week too, but no chance for snow.
Linda, I can't believe we're already to Ash Wednesday either. Hope all goes well tomorrow.
The AmVets are doing a pickup on Thursday, so I'm boxing up some stuff for them.

Thanks for the start, Chele. Ginger really is cute. I'll bet she loves meatballs. Did you watch 9-1-1 Lonestar? Talk about a lot of bull. Quite a novel way to get Billy settled down and get the 126 to stay together. Sorry you're having lousy weather.
Kathy, I did see your post about a DW episode next week. I also saw the preview and it looks like at least part of it will be on Galifrey and the Master is back. I see a definite cliffhanger coming. I think BBCA itself may be the culprit with streaming episodes not showing up for a while. I did get to watch it this afternoon. What's in your new avatar? Good job getting things together for donation.
Sorry yesterday sounds like it was a bigtime Monday, Liz. I saw a NYT headline a little while ago that the CDC is saying to prepare for Covid19 and it's going to be bad. I also saw yesterday that the Whitehouse descimated the disease prevention arm in 2018, so I hope we don't have thousands of Americans pay for that shortsightedness. What are you hearing from your vantage point? Enjoy your warm weather for as long as you have it. We may make it to 60 today but then rain and cooler temps tomorrow. The nausea, cold sweats, and light headedness doesn't happen very often, fortunately, but usually I'm getting over some kind of stomach virus when it does happen. Still having some stomach issues but there is improvement. And, the fever hasn't come back.
Becky, I decided I wasn't ready for chili yesterday and probably not today. I do have the ingredients sitting on the counter, however, and among them is a can of Rotel. Great minds....How are you feeling today? You are having your surgery on what would have been DF's 90th birthday, so I won't forget the date. How's the BP doing? I can't see Scooter in a doggy rain jacket.
Hope the surgery goes very well, Linda. What are you and Micki planning for your evening home alone? Congrats on the melanoma-free anniversary. Are you having pancakes for dinner tonight?
I did go to AF this morning and was able to do 30 minutes on the AMT and also did some weight training. I avoided anything that might aggravate abdominal muscles, so it was a short workout. I stopped at Aldi and then dropped a few things off for tomorrow's MG class and did some things there before I came home. I picked up a box of Amy's frozen mac and cheese to have for lunch seems to have set well so far., even though I couldn't get the dairy-free version. I got almond milk yogurt to take to class tomorrow because I'm thinking pizza wouldn't be a good idea quite yet. I may not be able to check in til evening tomorrow. Hope all of you have a good rest of today and tomorrow.

Karen, I'm thinking cliffhanger too on Dr Who. It's hard to see anything in our little avatars, but the top half is the base of a large cypress tree in the Econ River. The bottom part is the cypress roots or knees. They grow above ground and make formations that remind me of the inside of a cave. Strange trees, but I guess they evolved to live in the water and survive when it's dry. I saw that too about the firing of the entire branch that handles pandemics like Covid19. Maybe the stock market will get his attention. Hope your stomach behaves and you have a good MG class.

Thanks for the start Chele.
Linda How long will Bob be in the hospital?Hope all goes well.
Karen We got up to 64 today but supposed to be 39 by morning.The chili turned out so good and we have enough for several nights.Sunday and Monday were really good days for my knee but the pain has kicked in more today.I forgot to take BP this morning but yesterday it was normal on both wrists.I have also been cutting back on sodium.You are right about Scooter.That silly dog decided to stay inside while we were gone for just a little while this morning since it has been so windy.We had to go to Elgin to pay a bill so we weren't gone long.It wasn't cold but it was windy.It's supposed to be even windier tomorrow along with being cooler.We will have one night below freezing which they think might be our last freeze.That would be fine with me.
