Sweet dreams all. It was a long day.

yes it was a long day.

Sunny, I ,made a coffee cake to go with the hot chocolate.............

sweet dreams ladies....& James......

Now I want coffee cake

I have an annoying cough starting...no sore throat though. I am not going to visit GB this weekend...just in case this is the start of a nasty bug.

Oh, I've started something for a few days but it has always passed unfulfilled. I hope your something is like that, Sunny.

so happy for you Tina,,I too hope Sunny has the sane luck.

Goodnight. Sleep well everyone. See you tomorrow.

Good morning... I want to be back in my warm bed. Hopefully some coffee will change that...

Good Morning from sunny Az,

We are heading out to breakfast with the inlaws this morning, Joe took the dog for his walk and I just paid a bill... nice to to have to make breakfast … it's 53* right now and the sun is out. so nice here... wish you could all come and visit while it's so crappy for you guys... got lots of room! Don't miss the snow at all!


Been working on getting all the tax stuff ready for our tax guy. going to go up to colo next month to see kids.. dd is having health problems so if it comes to surgery I will stay there to help … hopefully the weather will be nice while I am there...

Well better finish getting ready to go. it's one of those places that serve breakfast and lunch cafeteria style and bil likes to get both.... have a good day all!
Nana

Prayers for your DD, Sherri. I hope everything goes well.

Yes, prayers for your DD. Have a safe trip.

I am wondering g if Sunny has lost power ?
I hope you are all keeping warm......and safe

I went to bed but could not sleep. I think I will read for awhile and then try again.
Watching the girls again tomorow.

Sweet Dreams to you all.

Prayers for your DD, Nana.

That lingering cough turned into a 'hit by a brick' bug yesterday. I was so weak that I stayed in bed most of the day...it sure put the fear in DH. He kept trying to feed me toast and tea all day, then offered to go to my favorite pizza place to pick up supper. Mind you, the shop is a 40 minute drive away and passes his favorite coffee/bakery shop....and I was too sick to even look at pizza. So, I politely declined and told him that is was so sweet of him but I'll take the offer this week sometime when I am feeling better

I feel a bit better today but the cough persists.....I have a wheezing at night with it. It's always something.

Good morning.
I am so sorry about the being sick. Glad you are feeling better, but do not overdo, or you may find yourself sick all over again...That makes me smile about your DH. It made me realze..I cannot call my mom over to help me anymore. Too far aeay, and she does not have a car now.

Am not watching the girls. One is sick. Sounds like the flu or I would have offered to keep them anyway.

Get well quickly, Sunny. I'm not sick but I cannot stay awake today.

Sleep is good, Tina. I say, get it while you can !

You've probably caught the 'Monday Dropsies' Tina

I hope the wee ones get better soon Junie.

I went for more cough drops today...the ones I had weren't doing anything. Even honey isn't working...I sound like an old smoker

Aubry has strep throat. She's on medicine but I'm not getting close. Sunny hope you feel better soon.

Johnny's thyroid doctor has move into a new office. Thankfully I went with him today because the doctor moved to an office building in downtown Charlotte where there is bumper to bumper traffic all day long. The office is on the 12th floor and that's not the top floor. The building has apartments on I don't know how many floors above the 12th, and has restaurants, a gym, and other businesses. There is 1 parking garage for all of this and some of the spaces are for residence only. What this means is that there is no parking for patients. Some of the on street parking spaces are marked for residents too. If he hadn't been able to be dropped off I don't know where he would have parked or how late he would have been for his appointment. It's ridiculous. He's going to find another doctor.

I guess we all are going to have to hide out in one of our houses until everyone is well. Sunny, you can drop by when you are well...One of the other of us will let you know where we are....We all need to be well. Sheri....gracious !I am so sorry for Johnny. I too am glad you went along. I hope he finds a new Dr to his liking soon.

Sunny, can you buy over-the-counter cough syrups in Canada ? I find Delsym works well. It is a simple cough suppresant but hey you can get rest with it.

Going to bed now..sweet dreams

Good morning. The big freeze in the Midwest is all over the news. Keep warm all.

It sounds like that the doctor will lose a lot of patients if parking can't be found...I hope he finds another doctor soon Sheri.

Yes Junie, we have cough syrups here....I also have the cough drops that have the medicine in the center. I think the trying to suppress the cough made it worse so I bought an expectorant(the old fashioned pine-tar kind) and some simple cough drops.

We are under a frost bite warning today, I think I'll spend the day cleaning and mopping...not to much got accomplished in the house the last few days.

I hope you get well quickly, Sunny. And keep warm!

The electrical wiring in my range just caught fire. I swear, it is just one thing after another it seems. DH came home from work and checked it out....guess who now has to go price a new stove?

I still haven't even replaced the mixer that blew the other week.

Yes, before my Heart attack I took the expectorant/suppressant combo cough syrup. A person would cough to beat the band but then you got a rest from the coughing, Now a days all I can take is the suppressant. I get to suffer otherwise. I LOVE the pine tar cough syrup I must say I prefer the children's version (there is an adult dosage on the bottle)
but I bet I have to go "home" to buy it....I am having a very hard time getting normal everyday items here.....

Look on line, Carol. It,s where to find the things that seem unavailable where you are. Sometimes a product will tell you where you can find it, locally.

Bless you, Tina. Thanks so much for the tip.

Wow! I just heard that mail delivery is cancelled in parts of Mo. due to the cold. As well as wi, ND and SD and other places. Keep warm, Carol.

Yes I saw that, Tina, but thanks I will......

we shall see if ours is cancelled. but then if the mail cannot get to the Cape Giardeau processing PO how can we get mail here to be put out for delivery.....
I am also wondering if my DD has work tomorrow. (she is a school teacher remember)
she said they will not call her until tomorrow morning to say....BUT several districts have already cancelled for tomorrow because of the sub zero temperatures.

Sweet dreams, Carol.

Thanks, Tina The same to you.

Keep warm and well everyone, Sleep well, Nity-nite

It warmed up here....just to snow today.

Oh well, it is the fluffy kind of snow so it will be easy to scoop. I guess I have to look at the positive side of it.

The maps I saw put you above the polar vortex, Sunny. So that makes you safer than, I think. I really feel for the people who aren't used to it like Alabama. Their buildings aren't built to keep the cold out or to keep plumbing working and such. Wrapping pipes here will keep them from freezing but they attract things that love that wrapping for nesting materials and you need to do it annually for it to work. And trap the critters, as well. It's all an ongoing battle. Circular.

Oh my, Tina...I am so sorry to hear about the work that you have to go thru to keep things thawed.
I had not thought of it, but you are right about areas not being prepared for the cold. That is a real shame that they are having to deal with cold like this. I will be thinking of them.

So true Tina. Keep safe everyone.

No, don't feel bad for me. John got very tired of the critters chewing on wiring and pipes. He set about protecting as much as he could. And he trapped as many critters as he could. I continue the trapping and use a lot of diatamecious earth to keep the bugs and spiders away. It all works well.

It's a no-win situation either way it seems Tina.

The cold weather is on it's way for us tomorrow...but that is the norm here. In a few weeks we'll be back to minus -40's. The middle of February likes to frostbite us when it can

I just can't imagine what the people who have never experienced our kind of cold before are going to do. Just going outside is going to damage their lungs.

I feel for these people too. I can't imagine what will happen to homeless people or outside animals. Our high was 47° today but very windy which made it seem cold.

Yes the cold had a lot of us worried. I had not even thought of a person ' s eyes...but they too need to be protected. My thoughts are with all of those needing to keep warm.

When the girls came in today they had hooded sweatshirt jackets on under their fleece jackets, hats on over the hoods, mittens, and neck scarves on...they had sweat pants on and boots...and this was to just walk from the car to inside our garage. I guess they should have wore their sunglasses in as well...

And before you ask, kids cannot have heavy coats on when riding in a car...they cannot be properly strapped into their car seats unless they are just in jackets or sweaters.

Goodnight everyone, keep warm.

Sweet dreams all.

Goodnight, Tina !
