Have you had your chimney cleaned yet?
Well, we hadn’t had ours done yet this year. The chimney cleaners came today. Good thing they did. Our chimney was blocked. Not dirty, completely blocked.
This explains why we were smelling oil fumes every time the furnace kicked on. Explains my headaches of late too. Possibly explains my problems with thinking too.
According to the guy who cleaned the chimney, we are lucky to be alive. Probably because I always have my bedroom window open and keep the front door open all day until it gets too cold to do so.
When was the last time you had your chimney cleaned? Remember the life you save may be your own.
You all have a good one.
Getting chilly around here…
I had to put on my hoodie last night when I took the dogs outside. I love my hoodie, the picture above is on it.
The pups are loving the cool weather, it has them energized. They are acting like youngsters. 😀
Not sure if it is the cooler weather or the Tecfidera that has The Curmudgeon more chipper. Whatever it is, I approve.
You all have a good one!
Building Mr. Needleman our Voodoo doll
We worked for over three hours to get him together.
We stuffed, and stuffed, and sewed, and stuffed…
And stuffed
And stuffed
And sewed….About here he ate our upholstery needle and earned his name…Mr. Needleman. I had to finish sewing him with a much smaller needle.
Done!
He IS big isn’t he?
Thursday it’s last minute details…like our large pins, a heart, stitches on hands and feet, and some minor regluing of yarn on eyes.
Bwahahahaha!
You all have a good one.
I wonder if I should auction him off or unstuff and store him for next year…
The pups at play.
I am a vicious white doggie who will beat you up.
I not ascared of you, white whale.
I am brown pup and I chew on your head, what you gonna do about it big brudder?
I will open my mouf wider.
I will do my demon dog and kick your butt big brudder.

I get you face!
Hey Brudder, I can open my mouf bigger than you can.
No dogs were harmed in the making of this blog post.
You all have a good one!
Answer to the puzzle…
Answer to yesterday’s puzzle. It turns the fog from the fog machine into low-lying fog. You duct tape the flexible duct to the fog machine outlet, run the hose through the trash can, fill the trash can with ice and the chilled fog will stay low.
Last year, we had the fog machine running for a while when The Curmudgeon came out the door all upset. It seems our fog was getting inside the house. We’re hoping the low-lying fog solves that problem. 😀
G is sewing the arms and legs together so I can stuff them and assemble the voodoo doll this weekend.
Let the thermostat battles begin
So, last night The Curmudgeon turned on the heat. This means for the rest of the year and clear on into late spring, I will suffer from being overheated.
I will turn the thermostat down, he will turn it up and so on. He is always cold. I tell him to dress warmer and get growled at.
Isn’t it easier to add more clothes? I mean one can only remove so much and still be able to answer the door. I really don’t want to subject anyone to horrifying sight of my naked old body. 😉
Now that I’ve left you with that brain exploding picture in your head…. I’ll say, you all have a good one!

Day 8 of Tecfidera
Day seven of the Tecfidera is over. We shall see what happens today on day eight, this is the day he starts the higher maintenance dose of 240 mg. Twice a day.
Keep your fingers crossed that he doesn’t have the runs as part of the side effects. This is what he dreads the most.
So far all he has had was mild flushing and only with his morning dose, mind you this was on the lower dosage.

The Squirrel wars continue
This looks like the squirrel with which The Curmudgeon is having a daily battle. LOL!
It’s true! I’m batty.
Gave Annie her voodoo doll yesterday. From her squeal of delight, I figure she liked it. 😀
The Curmudgeon had another good day. Yay!
Our dogs, Gavin and Patty are funny. Gavin completely ignores all the noisy props but Patty likes them and loves when I set one or two off just for her to watch. I think her favorite is the spider in the books.
You all have a good one!
Day three of Tecfidera
The Curmudgeon says he’s finding it easier to get up and down from the floor. (We have two dogs they like him to get on their level from time to time.) This may be true or wishful thinking on his part, we shall see.
I’m still seeing plenty of balance issues but he did manage an outing yesterday without using his rollator, he used his cane instead. He hasn’t done that for a very long time.
He really did seem to be in better spirits the last two days than I’ve seen him in a while.
If things keep going this well I can see me getting to my Pennwriters conference in May. Whoohoo!
