Curmudgeon update and more
We had a busy day yesterday. I took The Curmudgeon over for his every three months neurologist appointment. Nothing new there. She is going to have him get more frequent blood tests done to keep a close eye on him because of the one medication (Tecfidera) he is on.
From her office we went to the first of his every-other-month blood test. I dropped him off and drove across the street to a strip mall to pick up the dogs’ food and cookies. Then back over to pick him up. The timing was perfect, a minute after I sat down in the lab’s waiting room, he walked out.
Today I take Lucy to the vet for her wellness check and shots. This should be fun. She’s such a hoot.
Psssst! If I hidez here you fink dey willz find me?
“Fog so thick you could almost cut it”
Clichéd yes. Truth also yes. Looking out my kitchen window I can barely see my fence line. That is a thick fog.
Rain and warmer temperatures have raised a fog impossibly thick. Oh, the horror tales that could come from it!
It is thicker than this fog:
52 degrees!
After all the nasty snow and cold, cold, cold weather we’ve had this was an absolute heat wave. Temperatures in the high forties and even up to the mid fifties all week? I can live with that.
It sort of drives a few of my Southern friends crazy that to me this is T-shirt and flip-flop weather. They shiver and run for a blanket to wrap themselves, or a winter jacket. Meanwhile I’m outside in a T-shirt and flip-flops enjoying the day.
Mind you, I did have to step carefully in the yard since it is still covered in snow…
One of my newest shirts
I love that sound!
What sound is that you ask? The sound of rapidly melting snow! YAY!
Soon we’ll have green grass and flowers and be able to go for walks!
We are seeing a warming trend…
We were above freezing yesterday even without the sun. Not by much, only two degrees, but it is better than below freezing.
Today 42 degrees, tomorrow 45, and it keeps getting better with 47 on Tuesday and 50 on Wednesday.
The basement is already flooding in the back so I can tell we are in for some interesting times. Yes, another reason I hate this house.
At least both dogs are going out willingly.
Really Mom? Really?
Working on a critique of the dreaded synopsis
My dear friend Dave asked me to do a critique of his synopsis. (Yes, Dave I am working on it when I get a chance to.) I am doing it, but I am doing it line by line. Not sure if this will make him happy or ready to kill me.
There’s nothing a writer hates more than writing a synopsis. This is where we are all at our most insecure. Ask any writer about doing a synopsis and you’ll see fear, dread, and horror dash across his/her face.
A professional (and good) synopsis writer could very well make a fortune. Too bad there aren’t any out there.
Oh Dave, Give me a few more days. I hope to have it done by then. Things were a bit hectic around here as usual.
And now we have rain…
As the temperature drops to 24 degrees overnight that rain will turn into snow. AGAIN.
Sun made ice….
It is said that if you send off your desires into the universe they will happen. Beach. I am working on that idea these days. Beach.
We had a lot of sun yesterday but with temperatures in the thirties it didn’t do much in the way of melting the new snow on top pf the old snow on top of the icy remains of the even older snow. Beach.
No, all that melting did nothing, other than make more ice on top of the new snow. Beach
More snow predicted for today. Oh. Joy. Beach.
Would you believe it? More. Snow.
I woke up to find it snowing like crazy. Again. OMG. We have had more than enough.
Depressed? You bet!
Once the weather breaks, I won’t want to be inside for more than a minute or two at a time. If I disappear once we get decent weather, too bad guys. I am in dire need of outdoor therapy I have been far too closed in all winter.
We’ve had quite enough winter thank you very much.
Bone chilling 16 degrees. This winter is killing me. One piece at a time, it is killing me. At least we had sun yesterday. Unfortunately today we’re supposed to have snow. Again. Two times this coming week.
The rain and 45 degrees predicted for Wednesday almost sounds tropical after this stuff.
I saw a robin again, this is the only thing that gives me the hope that Spring is on the way.
Is it awful that all I can think about is a warm and sunny beach?
I think I’ll wear this shirt today.
You all have a good one.
