It was a slow day starting off, but after lunch I got into high gear. I vacuumed the floors then mopped them. Gave Frank and hair cut and shave and helped him shower. Cooked goulash and washed two loads of clothes. Brought the ladder up from the basement because we have two light bulbs that are burned out and when Bro Decker is over tomorrow, I'll ask him to change them. I don't want Frank to get up on a ladder and I don't want to climb up either.
Mary Kate found a little Yorkie dog that is up for adoption but it is in a town near LaGrange, Ga where MK lives and they won't give me a chance to adopt it because they have to meet me and that's a 4 hour drive away. They are charging $450.00 to adopt the dog and they have my pet history and the name of my vet. They ought to know that if I take care of two parrots for 25 years that I will take good care of a dog. We might have to look some more. I don't want to get my hopes up. It can't be just any dog. Preferably an adult, potty-trained, small lap dog that doesn't shed. A Poodle, Yorkie or Bishon Frise. I know I didn't spell that last name correctly and the computer didn't know either!

Friday
We went to Dr Morgan's today for a procedure but they forgot to tell us about the antibiotic Frank was supposed to take and we had to reschedule the procedure.
The snow is still around but the roads were clear. The ice melted off the ramp and I swept the remaining ice and snow off of it this afternoon.
Mary Kate has been wanting to get me a dog and I have started looking online, too. It's amazing the price that's wanted for the Poodles I was looking at. MK was looking at a rescue Yorkie for me, but it's in GA and they want to meet me, so that's out. I will let her look for me.
Our crud is better but I'm still feeling the effects of it. It wasn't bronchitis like I thought it was. We still are coughing but not like last year when we had to go to the Dr with it. If we can survive til Spring maybe we'll make it.

SNOW
We got about 12" of snow yesterday. Everything was covered. The temperature was above freezing all day and a lot of it melted. We have a Dr appointment tomorrow so we'll be able to go. The snow is almost all gone off the car. The weather is supposed to be colder tomorrow but warming up on Saturday. I'm ready for Spring now. One snow will do it for me. It has snowed in April before so we're not out of the woods yet.
We just laid around sorry today. Still feeling under the weather because of our colds. I think the worst of it is over. Now just to recover and stay healthy.
Mary Kate wants me to get a dog and is looking for one for me. I haven't talked it over with Frank yet. He probably would agree if I insisted. He gets some time everyday loving on his bird but my bird wants to bite me every time I'm around him so he's no fun. If I had a dog, then I would have reason to walk down the road and get some exercise. That would be fun. I'd have to buy a couch cover to protect the couch and chairs. I finally get nice furniture and now I want a dog that would be all over it. You can't have nice "things" and have kids and animals.

It wasn't snowing this morning...
We made it to H'ville for the Pain Clinic appointment and were back at home by 10 AM. I went out to get the mail at 3 PM and by 3:15 PM the snow was really coming down. It's 7:30 PM now and the show hasn't slacked up. Trudy says they have 4" but I believe we have more. I think the farther South you go the deeper the snow. I have plenty of milk and every thing else so I don't worry.
It isn't even 32 degrees outside. Maybe during the night it will get colder but it's above freezing now.
I turned the gas heat on in the basement. It was 65 degrees down there and it's 70 degrees now. This virus I have makes me feel colder. We have the house set at 77 degrees. Bumped it up one degree yesterday before the big snow storm. I know that it isn't much snow for the Northerners but for the rednecks, it's a lot of snow! We don't know how to drive on it and it's down right inconvenient. It is pretty, but that's all. Ah, for the life in Key West now.

Tuesday
The weather was just cold today. I didn't go to the church to exercise for I was feeling bad and my cough was worse. Frank had an appointment with the orthopedic Dr to see about his knee. It is healing nicely and the Dr gave him some range of motion in the knee. He can bend it a little but not to 90 degrees yet. I heard that the weather is going to get bad tomorrow so I got some milk. We have a Pain Clinic visit tomorrow early and the weather isn't supposed to get bad until after lunch so I believe we will be okay.
Thursday, I have an appointment with my family Dr and now that I have this bronchitis he may give me something for it. I think my carpol tunnel has come back. My hands tingle all of the time but so do my feet and legs so I'll ask the Dr what he thinks is up. Getting old, I bet.
Mary Kate texted me this morning saying she is getting the "cold" also. Trudy said it went through her family. We had bronchitis last year and it took a month and a half to get rid of it. We usually manage to stay away from sickness but was right it the home this time. George had it and wasn't feeling good but he wasn't coughing or sneezing. I guess it's an air borne disease. Just something to gripe about...

Ice
Got up at 5 AM and looked outside and there was ice on everything. Went back to bed and watched Fox News until it was time to eat breakfast. Didn't even try to go to exercise since the ramp and car were covered in ice. Went back to bed and was lazy until around 10 AM.
We had our diet class today and the ice was gone so we went. It was about exercise and the benefits of it. Next week, we will meet at a super market and pretend shop, looking at labels, etc. If we were going to Walmart, I would do some real shopping but the majority said to go to Hometown grocery.
Tomorrow at 10 AM I will go to the Round Island church to exercise. That afternoon Frank sees Dr Lawrence about his knee and hopefully it is healing by itself. Wed we go to the pain clinic. Thursday I have a Dr appointment in Athens, and Friday we have a Dr appointment somewhere, I can't remember where now. I have to make an appointment to take the birds in to get trims. Gert is trying to fly and he needs a trim. I need to go back and see the dentist to have my teeth adjusted. Tomorrow will be the only time I'll have to exercise. I need to exercise at home but it's so hard to get the motivation to do it.
The crud I have was hurting today when I coughed. I hope it doesn't get any worse. That's what I've been saying each day and it's gotten a bit worse every day.

No Snow
When I got up from my after breakfast nap, all the snow was gone! It had rained and the snow melted. In fact, it's rained all day.
I've caught a cold and just lounged around today and stayed mostly in my recliner with my eyes closed. Hopefully, the rain will stop by tomorrow morning. We will go to church but it's hard to hold the umbrella over Frank and not get soaked myself. I'm just glad it's not snow.
