I pick one for today, one for tomorrow before the game and one for after the game. Whether they win or lose, I will need it to either celebrate or boohoo in!🍸🍷🍹

No big snowfall, just a little dusting. I think we got to 36 today so it felt like summer.🔥 Looks like it will stay in the 30s most of the week.

Chinese leftovers for dinner so no cooking. Glad you are not ice skating with Poppy. Enjoy your evening, sending lots of hugs to you and Poppy.🤗💖

Hi. Arrived home after 11pm last night. Too late to post and also too tired. Didn’t shop yesterday. Instead arrived to see hubby earlier due to weather. Our favorite aide was back and hopefully whatever bug he had, I hope is long gone. Had a long chat with the on duty RN just before leaving. She feels hubby would do better in Assisted Living. I tend to agree to a certain extent. He would definitely get the help he needs and I can still prepare his meals. They would help him to go from bed to wheelchair, etc.. What I do not like is the cost and the size of the apartment. I would really need to downsize. No closet space and laundry is either shared or you have the facility do it. The amenities are OK like you have a choice of either eating in a dining room or your apartment. TV for the most part would be in a community room rather than your apartment since you would be essentially in a 350 sq.ft home to 500sq.ft.. It also will depend upon what you choose since there are many Assisted Living places in Florida. It is something to think about, however, I definitely will have help in our home as needed. My only concern is getting hubby from bed to chair and vice versa. This will also be more of a concern when traveling, thought I am finding things that may help with daily activities. I now know there are wheelchairs specifically for showers and also one that fits over a toilet. His mind is also better. The short term memory loss is becoming less and less. The only thing he seems to forget is that he cannot stand or walk. The rehab seems to be forgetful on their part, however, there is an outpatient rehab that may be the answer when hubs is home. For now, home is the better answer and as problems arise so will there be answers. I think for now, home is the best
alternative and less of a deterrent

I think I finally figured out what happened to the top of the stove. It may have been the pan the turkey was in was too hot for the top and probably too heavy since the turkey was still in the pan. I definitely will be more cautious especially when turkey season rolls around. And, I love your idea of the noodle. Yes, it has many uses and it will certainly come in handy.

Weather is changing in Florida. The temp is now beginning to rise a bit. It’s in the mid 50s as I type and when I can finally get out, 60s sounds very promising. Tonight’s temp will again be in the mid 40s, but that will change either tomorrow or Monday with the highs in the 10w 70s and nights in the low to mid 50s. No rain in sight this week, though that could change. I’m not going to say we are now out of the woods for low temps.. We still have the month of February to go through and the first couple of weeks in March. Anything can happen.

Enjoy your warmer days. Stay safe when walking at night. The temps still have a tendency to do funny things, especially when the temps drop. Tread carefully. You may have to tell Poppy to slow down. Have a great day and then some.

I am hoping and praying that your SIL will get some good news for a change. She needs to smile more and frown less. There are a lot more therapies today for pancreatic cancer. More so now than when Justice Ginsberg was around. She will have many ups and downs during the treatment, but as the medication begins to work, many things could happen all at once. Never lose hope. Keep the smile and energy going and most of all to never lose hope.

Smile. 😎
