I know what to do_sometimes · Frozen Sucks!

So tired. but off to the showers!

How is your butt, Czech?

Lawyerlady · On the bright side...... Christmas is coming! (Mod)

I"m off today. Kids are off school, I took today off.

Momala · Great cook-happy wife-superb fisherman

Today seems to be starting off quite well.

Last night was the first night to use the C-PAP machine - and I slept for 8 1/2 hours! Awesome! The machine is absolutely silent, so DH wasn't disturbed.

Day 11

Schools here are closed again, I'm guessing because of the cold. It's in the single digits now and not expected to get much warmer. I miss snow days, sigh.

Divine Geek · Guru

And I'm getting a massage today! So excited, I really need it.

FNW · Guru

Morning. It's cold here. I have a cold. I see a theme.

Tinydancer · Guru

Morning all. Happy Friday Eve!

Fort Worth Mom · Mod/Penguin lover/Princess!

I hope all of our sick Geeks are on the mend!

We've had a mild winter, so far. No snow or ice storms. (Thank you, God!)

Sunny and 45 right now, heading for a high of 72. The normal high for this time of year would be about 59.

I'll take it. smile

I should probably take advantage of this, and finish cleaning up the front yard and flower beds.

I'll get some laundry going, and wait for it to warm up.

Stay warm, and try to have a good day, everyone! smile

LOL! There are times, when I'm not too crazy about living here either, flan. wink

We are having a better Winter than we've had in a few years.

I'm happy about that. smile

Yes I'm freezing today. I stepped in a puddle and now I have one really wet and cold foot...

TrudyML · Guru

Oh, I hate wet foot! I bought some heavy duty clunkers for boots. They work. I am just exhausted dragging them around.

Dona Worry Be Happy · Vette's SS!!

Baby Blue, aka Myrtle, is starting to suffer. She is eating well, and gaining weight, but her legs are refusing to straighten out. This puts and incredible amount of stress on her joints, especially her knees.
I have the vet coming in a week for a herd checkup, and if she hasn't improved at least a little, we will probably put her down then. In the meantime, flunixine and padded splints. Who knows, maybe she will catch a passing miracle.

I'm sorry to hear that, Dona.

I'll pray for a miracle.

Let us know how she does.

TrudyML · Guru

:( Hope it works out.

Lexxy · My dog name is Sasha, too!

Morning everyone. It is cold but sunny here. Today is out to lunch day. Yay! I haven't had Mexican food in 3 weeks & I am jonesing.

I hope Baby Blue gets her miracle Dona. It would be sad to have to put her down.

Dona Worry Be Happy · Vette's SS!!

I don't know what I will tell our calf feeder if we have to. She has poured her heart and soul into this baby. Massaging her legs, flexing them, heloing her stand and walk, giving her her pain meds, cuddling her nose and singing silly songs, she adores her.
I told her from the beginning that we might not be able to do much. But if we have to put her down it will just be terrible.

Fort Worth Mom · Mod/Penguin lover/Princess!

I hope it doesn't come to that, Dona.

That would be hard to take. cry

How is your butt, Czech?

It's tired, but it doesn't hurt anymore. Well, it might again tomorrow. I can't shake this sinus infection. cry

Thanks for asking. smile

just Czech · Give Me Grand's!

Grandma duties again today. Or as flan calls me, the taxi.

I would bang my head against the wall, but it already hurts.

I'm getting really tired of being sick. And, DD now has a tummy bug. I can't catch a break.

Cold and snowing out there.

Sorry about all the sick geeks and their kids out there. Hope everyone has a chance to recover and hopefully enjoy a good weekend.

Dona, sorry about the calf.

Fort Worth Mom · Mod/Penguin lover/Princess!

I hope you start feeling better soon, Czech!

Hang in there! smile

Thanks, FWM. I'm trying to hang in there. My body is resisting.

Lexxy · My dog name is Sasha, too!

Poor Czech you are never going to get better if you are always surrounded by sick kids. I always got a Z-pack for sinus infections & they cleared up in a few days. Are you using saline spray? That helps flush the crap out. I hope you feel better soon.

Ugh! It has been a few years since I've had one but they really hurt.

Tangerine · Guru

I'm starting allergy shots again. So I have been reminded of many unpleasant facts about the world we live in.
Dust is made mostly of insect feces and human skin.
When you breathe pollen, you are inhaling plant sperm.
Yay.

TrudyML · Guru

Mmm, sperm.

LOL I think I need to dust when I get home tonight.

Oh, Dona, how frustrating.

Hoping for the best.

This is a nasty sinus thing.

Aaron finished a Zack Friday last week and Jesse started one this Monday.

They both are still hacking and snotting and yucky.

They will be going back to the Doctor tomorrow I think.

I'm not sure I understand. Schools are closed because it's cold? is there no way of heating the schools?

FNW · Guru

I think it's more of the fact that the buses won't start in the mornings, and they don't want the children waiting outside in the cold for what could be long periods.

Won't start? Just how cold is it? Our school buses start when it's 35 below.

weltschmerz · Guru

Sorry for all the questions, but it's an alien concept for me.

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

Our schools, here in North Georgia, are not built for subzero temps.

No. The schools are not easily heated.

Another day another dollar. I am stir crazy.

DG is in northern Ohio. Sometimes it's the wind chill temps, too, & idiot parents who don't dress their kids warmly enough.

Oh, let's just face it...we're wimps! LOL

I am not very tolerant of other people today.

A lady just complained that our bathroom was filthy. There was a piece of toilet paper with a little brown stain in the bowl.

I flushed it.

Problem solved.

I think it's they don't want the kids waiting for the busses and walking to school when it's this cold. Honestly, I don't get it either. We didn't miss school for it being cold when I was a kid. Kids today are weak wink

Do they have libraries I could poop in?

Divine Geek · Guru

And it really wasn't all that cold. If it was 30 below or something, I could understand. But it was like 20 (above zero) when I went to work at 6am

DS got to go up on stage at Kids Club today! He played the tambourine. He got into it a lot more today than he did next week. I guess he just had to warm up!

I'm ready for a nap and DS seems to be too so maybe I'll get lucky.
