What A Difference A Day Makes

OK, then! Let’s get this show on the road and pick up where I left off, except I’m no longer feeling like crud and no longer bored. Reset! First of all, I’m not the only one in the house battling the crud. I’m a lot better but I had to go in and pick upContinue reading “What A Difference A Day Makes”

Not Much Going On

The snow is gone, it’s still above freezing but will dip down below 30° tonight. I’ve spent the day in the recliner with a case of the sniffles and a bit of a cough from sinus drainage. Typical winter stuff in our area when the weather waffles back and forth this time of year. GladContinue reading “Not Much Going On”

Another Frosty Morning

The sun is almost over the tops of the trees, the ground is covered with frost and it’s 33° this morning. A perfect January morning. A perfect Saturday morning. Brad will start the coffee in a few minutes and we’ll have our breakfast and plan the day. He has a couple of errands in townContinue reading “Another Frosty Morning”

That Weird Texas Weather

We both stayed up a bit late last night and were slow to get awake this morning. The sky is overcast and the temperature is hovering just below 40°. At about 10:00 am we heard thunder not far off and expected some rain to begin any time. Sure enough, soon there was the sound ofContinue reading “That Weird Texas Weather”

Got My Groove Back

Yesterday afternoon I began to feel human again. Danged sinus infection! I’ve managed to stay out of the doctor’s office and treat it with homeopathics and OTC sinus medication. I’m getting quite a stack of washcloths made while reading at the same time. I tried working on my socks while reading but it’s a bitContinue reading “Got My Groove Back”

Taking it Easy

Allergies are kicking my butt this weekend and I had to get my Relief Band out and charge it. Sure helps with the nausea from sinus drainage until my allergy meds can kick in. At least I’m able to enjoy my knitting and reading. Brad’s back down at his shop cleaning and sorting. He’s gotContinue reading “Taking it Easy”

80° For Christmas? In Texas?

When we think of Christmas in Texas this is what we have in mind. We don’t get much snow to speak of but we do get an occasional ice storm or a bit of freezing rain. Actually, this photo is from November 2019. Still. December…cold weather…yeah, not always. The forecast for Christmas Day in ourContinue reading “80° For Christmas? In Texas?”

Fighting Seasonal Crud

I keep several things on hand for when allergy and cold symptoms get me down. The Boiron allergy tabs dissolve under the tongue, the homeopathic drops that I get from my naturopathic doctor are held under the tongue for a couple of minutes, Oscillococcinum (in the bubble pack in front) is great when I’m feelingContinue reading “Fighting Seasonal Crud”
