Happy Day All!
Finally a day where we don’t have anyone coming over and we don’t HAVE to go anywhere! Hallelujah! I honestly do not remember four days in a row when we’ve been so busy from the time we got up until we went to bed. They must have been in the very distant past! Not that we don’t have hours and hours ahead of us with the unpacking, but the furniture itself is in and it at least looks like a home again, or the beginning of one.
Had to laugh (no offense intended) at the discussion of MRIs and Phyl saying she prayed for everyone she knew. That’s so much better than what I did – sang 99 bottles of beer on the wall – all the way through at least twice!
Once again, am not going to stick around. Too much to do and I’m a morning person, and slow. The foot is not great, but okay. Plan to not be on it as much today, but that’s hard.
Thanks to you all for the warm thoughts and prayers. I know they’ve helped a lot over the last couple of months! Cheers!

Good morning Penny & ATF,
Sunny today! Currently it's 39; the high will be 52. Almost balcony weather for my first cup of coffee.
Nothing much going on here. Have called my doctors staff & left messages but no return calls to me. Will try again today.
I may take a ride this afternoon to Walmart & Target; just to walk around the stores. I really don't need anything.
So glad to see your post this morning, Penny. Just take one day at a time.
Have a great day, stay safe & warm!

Good morning.
Penny, take care, don't overdo, rest when you need too. Things will get done in time.
Didn't plan on going anywhere today but now have a list of errands I want to take care of. Still have our Valentines flag up and want to find a St. Patricks Day one. Have to go to the pharmacy and to the bird feed place and maybe the library. Seems like I get so tired getting in/out of the car, putting on mask etc.
Just got some phone stuff done. Works better if I do it earlier in the day. Hate being on hold.
Lin, Congrats on the loss.

Morning All!
Penny sounds like everything is going well. Take a rest today and give the foot a break. My SIL had her knee replaced yesterday and they had her up and walking on it last night. She's due to come home this morning. That seems a bit fast to me. She does have help at home, so I guess it wont be too bad.
Lin I hope the week slows down for you (although it doesn't sound like its going to behave).
Today I have a Shoprite order coming and not much else.
Wishing you all a pleasant day!
Dayle

Well my morning is shot and I don't think I have accomplished much, but did leave a big mess last night so I put all that stuff away and do have a batch of clothes to throw in washer. I tend to just drop all stuff in the evening by the couch where I sit to have my dinner and watch TV in evening. Read the paper and check the mail. Usually do take care of that stuff lately but just truddled off to bed. Leaving everything right there.
I think Calli is losing weight and it is hard to tell with all her fur but she does have a Vet appointment coming up. Will pay more attention to what she is eating but the bowl seems to be almost empty each evening. Maybe will start giving her a bit more. Will freshen it up during the day. She is such a nibbler that sometimes she doesn't want to eat what is on bottom of bowl.
she seems fine other wise. Still being herself in all other ways.
Will take my tax papers to the office tomorrow. that is a nice drive and the weather is really good this week. The ice is gone from my driveway but not from my side walk , which is brick and I don't like chopping at it or putting ice melt on it. Usually not a problem but with 6 inches of ice this year, it is a bit of a mess. Sun shone all afternoon yesterday but no sun gets there this time of year.
Seems like knee surgery, shoulder surgery and hit surgeries are almost out patient these days. I think my friend was sent home too soon after her shoulder surgery, she was in lot of pain and she is strange with not wanting to take pain meds, no matter what they tell her about keeping ahead of pain, she is afraid of becoming a druggy and believe me there is no chance of that with her. But she is very stubborn. Won't even take prescription strength Tylenol

Hi and good afternoon. The sun is trying to shine through. We had such a nice warm day yesterday we may have been spoiled but today is more normal temps in the 40's but the snow piles are disappearing.
So glad Penny is home!! So much work to do and with the foot surgery on top!!
Another PT this morning. She is always adding a new exercise. After the new one she asked if my knee hurt. No actually the new knee didn't hurt but the one that needs anew knee did hurt!! I'm in no hurry to go through this again though.
It is nice enough for me to be able to grill several pounds of chicken breasts outside on the patio which I'll freeze for later use.

Things went well with exterminator. He thinks only one rat in there. Very few droppings and no damage to electrical or ducting. No need to take out insulation and sanitize attic. Everything is patched up and 4 traps are set in attic and one in garage. He will be back next week to check traps.
Penny- glad it’s looking like home again. Yay
Emily- after our second vaccine I will be walking through stores again. I miss it.
Connie- I hope Calli is ok. Maybe just not eating enough.

HI CALLERS,
Helen I learned something new on Jeopardy today.the question was about capitols of states. something like what city became capitol of Nebraska when moved for Omaha. course I knew LINCOLN..growing up I never knew that about Omaha. now if we were taught that school,I sure do not remember that.
our high today was 41 and sunny.we will cool off just a little for this week.for the whole winter we have had 13 inches of snow. that is not a lot compared to other winters. course good ole ,March is coming and could bring surprises. we know it will be windy.
this has been another do nothing day. PHYL

Phyl kids have to learn about Nebraska in 4th grade now but I know that wasn't part of the curriculum when I went to school. When it was moved to Lincoln, there wasn't much here. Interesting. I watched Jeopardy today too
