To the Doc....

After a night of hacking, I finally fell asleep and did my usual thing this morning.  Decided to call and see if I could get an appointment with my Doctor.  No problem.  11:20.

 It was very cold and the wind was nasty.




After chores I took a shower and Gary drove me to the Health Clinic.  I did cover my face with a mask and had a good chat with Dr. B.  Because I was so wheezy I wanted to make sure my lungs were ok (they were clear) and that I did not have pneumonia.  Unless I get a fever....no antibiotics.  Was prescribed a prescription (pills) to help stop the coughing...not sure I want to take them.  They also swabbed my nose to check for flu or covid.  Seeing that I had Covid in December, I'm hoping that is not the case.  Will find out tomorrow.  Got home, had lunch and sacked out by the fire.  Gary went out and ran errands and when he got home we both fell asleep for about an hour and a half.  Little Wonder was with me part of the time and then Sid got on the chair with me and sent some healing vibes.
Needless to say....Little Wonder was not very happy to see Sid in his place.
I spoke to Mary Pat and she had smooth sailing going back to N. Carolina.  Today she is making an Irish dinner and going out to work in her gardens.  We really enjoyed her company....have been friends for almost 50 years and she was Jenny's first grade teacher!
Once again it started snowing late afternoon and by chore time it was sticking.





The boys were happy to get tucked in.



LW would not walk in front of me while I was trying to get on my trike.....

Jenny's soup for dinner.  So good and just right!
Thanks to my pals for checking on me!
Night all.

Slight Improvement

We had some rain last night and it looked like this before going out to the barn this morning.

Fortunately the sun stayed with us for awhile and by early evening it started snowing.



Mary Pat left around noon....made a couple stops and should be getting home by 10.  I sure hope she does not get my cold.
Little Wonder continued sending me healing vibes.


Jenny made us a pot of soup which we will eat tomorrow.  Smells delicious.
When she and Scott stopped up, they both went out to the barn with me for evening chores.




That's when it started snowing.

She approved the new stall set up and understands how much easier it is.


We ate some leftovers for dinner.  At least I now have an appetite.  Hopefully I'm on the road to recovery....a quick one would be nice!
Night all.

Yesterday and Today

Yesterday is only the third day I have missed posting since 2008 and it's because I spent most of the day and night in bed with that rotten cold.  The only thing I did was barn chores.  And the sad part is we have had company for 5 days.  I sure hope no one else gets this and have been keeping my distance.  Little Wonder, Sidney and Seymour know something is off and when I am in bed the all join me.

Here a a few shots from both days.  Not in a picture taking mood.

















I made some Naan bread pizzas tonight but am not doing to well in the eating department.
Going back to bed.
Night all.
