I was able to see hubby today. Guess we are both complaining on things that hurt. Hubby had problems with his hands and arms. I am hoping it is weather related, though they shook. It’s the same for me with the legs. Go to do a knee bend and the entire leg shakes. Tomorrow we will be in the 70s for a short while. Another cold front will be approaching. Funny, today was the first time I was comfortable during the visit with hubby. Had on double layers and I was fine until, guess what, they turned the heat on…..He is now missing two blankets. The Sherpa and the one I leant him from the house. Never a dull moment.

I have no idea what happened to our favorite aide. He was a no show for the weekend. We are all hoping he is OK. Well, this week he works three days and has the weekend off. Not sure what is going on. I hope it was a mini vacation.

Hubby was hungry tonight. Normally I have something, but today I was there empty handed. No snacks from any of the aides. I thought of stopping at Culver’s tomorrow. Their fish sandwich is good and so is there chili. However, I did ask, and both are emphatic no can do. So sad because the fish is easy to chew and swallow and the chili is something he loves. I think it is time for a bit of a shake up. Need to make phone calls anyway, so will dial an extra number or two. The reason his hands are shaking is probably due to a lack of vitamins and good food. That includes fresh fruit. I no longer can bring dragon fruit or cut up honeydew. Bananas is also on the no list. Even baked potatoes. Looks like tomorrow my fun will begin.

I do miss our homes up North. Would love to be back there just to check on things. If I leave, have no idea how hubby will be, thus the reason for not traveling. I really miss the change of seasons. Hearing about your snowfall is when I wish I could be in my little office watching the snow fall from the windows. It seems like it’s only a dream nowadays. But then again, there is the flip side of the coin when we wish for warmer days. Just be careful what you wish for.

Have a great evening and enjoy the moonlit sky. Be happy and above all be safe.

Glad to get this weekend over, two days of funeral homes.

Weather was a little better, tomorrow will be 33 and that is the warmest until next weekend. Tuesday the high will be 16.🥶 Not sure about any more snow but we had enough last week for me.❄ We’ve already have more snow than the entire winter last year. Mom and sis leave tomorrow and I’m sure they’re glad to get out of the ‘burgh.

Hope you are feeling better, lots of hugs to you and Poppy.🤗💖

Sheba, I know it’s inconvenient to deplane and possibly miss any connections, but I’m glad they did if safety was a concern. My son was delayed in Chicago but somehow it all worked out with other planes being delayed, so he made his connecting flights. Is your niece freezing in GA after having lived in the So. CA warm weather?
I’ve been watching the news about the fires and learning about how the water tanks and pumps work etc.. and doing laundry.
Hope it isn’t too cold and icy in Oz.
I’m going to try and find a Matlock to watch later.

Good Sunday to you,🌹 I hope you are staying warm and well.
It’s a sunny day here but we are staying in the low sixties all this coming week and mostly forties at night.
Last night the Moon looked huge and beautiful. And I could see three large stars, I
think they are planets.
I just finished feeding the bunnies in the backyard. There are two of them that comes often.
Enjoy the rest of your Sunday Sheba 🌹🌹🌹 Take care ❤️
