TACI, you are one savvy shopper. (LOL) Now the question is why didn’t they put all the jackets on sale/clearance?? It is the same jacket as the one grandmapinktoes mentioned. However, I do question the “As Is” rather than saying clearance. The other thing I noticed is that the Item Numbers are not the same. Yet, Colleen is showing the same jacket in both videos.

Good evening. I am home today. Having a bit of a problem with my legs. I will be phoning the physician on Monday. This has never been a problem. No, I did not fall. It may be due to the cold snap and also that the rehab has the A/C on. I dressed in lots of layers yesterday and even took a Sherpa blanket out of the car. There was no chair in the room, so used the wheelchair. My walking made hubby very nervous. Here is something scary. The blinds were opened and the room faces a main street. Happened to be looking out and saw two cars passing (one in front of the other) and shooting each other. Not a good thing.

Hubby is doing great. Still trying to reach both the Social Worker and the Speech Therapist. Hubby was able to eat normally during his two week stay in the hospital. Back at rehab he is still on pureed foods. As far as I can tell, the speech therapist will not be taking him off any time soon. The Social Worker needs to meet with me so I can actually start redoing the interior of our home and also getting the necessary bed for hubby, new flooring installed and a complete renovation of a bathroom. Also a ramp. Seems these two are always in a meeting. There is a RN helping.

I didn’t mind driving in a blizzard and going up a steep hill. I found that easy. Driving on ice scares me. The only advice I can give you is to drive slow. If you need to brake for any reason, just touch lightly, stop, tap again and do the same until the car can actually stop without a skid.
Be sure you have a shovel and sand in the trunk of your vehicle just in case. I also used to keep blankets and food in the car just in case. Also an extra pair of socks and gloves. I always did this just in case I got stuck. Of course this was in the day where there were no cellphones. Another thing is to be sure your vehicles have a full tank of gas before the inclement weather strikes.

Sorry to hear about this last episode not going well with your SIL.. This is a natural process from what I’ve heard. She will start feeling better just before the next dosage. The best advice is to find a movie that is funny and also has the ability to take her mind off the situation. A call into her physician may also give her husband and your kids some ideas to make her feel a bit better. I think you went through this as well. It’s torture, but if it leads to some good news, then it is worth it. The larger smiles will begin.

For the kitties. If you have an old quilt, you may try making the quilt into a tent with something on the floor as well. Just do not face it towards the wind or storm. If they look kind of wet, you may try a towel on the one that is friendly. With the others looking on, they may come to you for the same thing. They trust you for food. May be worth a try.

Stay warm. I hope you do not lose electricity. I surmise both of you will be staying up through the night just to check on the pipes. When this happened to us we used to chop some ice/snow and throw it into the freezer and the frig to keep the food OK..There were also times we would put our things into the cooler outside. This is when a generator comes in handy.

Happy and Healthy New Year from our house and the rehab to you and hubby. May this year be as sweet as honey and bring good health, many moments of joy and smiles. Of course, may it also be prosperous.
