Bring On The Snow

 As I post this, the weatherazzi is still getting worked up about snow late tonight into early Tuesday.  They've knocked down their forecast from 2-4" to now 1-2".  But here in the Ohio Valley, you don't know what to expect. Bring it on. 

Sunny Sunday

 The sun is finally out as I type this.  It's cold and windy, though.  And the weatherazzi has already started getting worked up about a possible 1-3 inches of snow tomorrow night into Tuesday morning.  Bring it, I say.  We have plenty of bread, milk, eggs and other provisions.  But for now, I'm just happy to see the sun. 

It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas

 I have almost all of my energy back from my sick spell this past week, so this morning I decorated our little Christmas tree and got out some more decorations for the family room and dining room.  I only had to make one trip to the store for an extension cord, thank goodness.  There's not much else we can do.  But it looks nice and festive.  And the Old Man is happy - that's all I can ask for. 

Flashback Friday

In case you have been living under a rock, today is Black Friday.  I remember the last time I went shopping on Black Friday.  It was at least 10 years ago.  I got up at 5:00 and quietly left the house, headed for Home Depot.  I was there when the store opened, and bought my Sweet Mother a little red wagon with wooden slats. I put it together and hid it in our little red barn until Christmas morning when I brought it into the house. She was speechless.  Until the day she fell and broke her hip, she used the wagon a lot.  I think of her every time I see it in our garage. 

Happy Thanksgiving

 TWIT and I would like to wish you, faithful readers, a very Happy Thanksgiving.  Besides the Old Man, the one thing I am most thankful for is feeling better today and for having a little appetite back.  I probably won't eat as much turkey and dressing as I usually would, but I am sure going to eat a little. I am also thankful for last night being the best night's sleep I've had all week.

Thanksgiving Eve Update

 I spent most of yesterday in my recliner wrapped up in a blanket, but thankfully no more bowing to the porcelain god.  I continued to drink water and had a glass of Gatorade, but I still didn't have an appetite.  I did make myself drink the broth from a can of Progresso chicken noodle soup and had some very tasty oyster crackers.  Last night the Old Man and I both prayed for my appetite to come back by tomorrow afternoon.  Other than still feeling tired, I don't feel bad.

Shortly I am going to head out to Lowes and pick up our little tree, and then go to Paul's Fruit Market to pick our re-heat Thanksgiving dinner.  Then when I get back from errands, I plan to rest in my recliner again. 

Not What I Expected

I had to run a couple of errands yesterday and on my way home, I started to feel crappy.  As soon as I got home, I started bowing to the porcelain god, and continued bowing through most of the afternoon until about 8:00 last night.  In managed to fix supper for the Old Man, and after I ate one bite, the bowing continued.  In order to keep from getting dehydrated, I started drinking water. That accounted for three trips to the bathroom during the night.

I don't feel bad this morning - just very tired from yesterday's ordeal.  I dug out some cans of Progresso soup for supper, and all I plan to do today is rest in my recliner and take a  nap.
