I think we got our permanent heating system installed in our bedroom installed just in time. It got down to 41 here last night but our bedroom was a pleasant 68. We brought down all of our Upper Peninsula blankets and quilts, so we were plenty warm. We had all three dogs around the bed, so everyone... Sign in to see full entry.

Two Feet of Snow in da Yoop Coming
It's a nice day here already at 65, closing in on 70. Back "home" in the Yoop, my old hometown of Newberry has received over 11" of snow, with another 10" to 16" coming today. This was the weather forecast yesterday morning. This is this morning on the south end of Newberry. The building you see is... Sign in to see full entry.

We had a nice night last night. It was relatively warm until a bit after midnight, and we set up a television on the back porch and watched OnPatrol Live under a sky of millions of stars and the beginning of a waning moon. The mosquitos are about gone... or at least thinned out... so it was a fun... Sign in to see full entry.

Brutus In Bed
I had to resize the pic I put up about five minutes ago. I sometimes forget most of my photos are at least 5000 x 3400 and that won't work on this site. I will be back soon... phone calls beyond belief this morning... but here is a photo of Brutus from 2017. His face is entirely gray now, but here... Sign in to see full entry.

Just a thought. I have three dogs that are nowhere near as bladder trained as I am and I don’t yet have my fencing up to allow them to go outside on their own as I used to have set up for them... so I am frequently awakened at odd times of the night with an old boxer staring at me. Now, no one ever... Sign in to see full entry.

We had a pleasant rain that started at about 10 last night, and it continued most of the night. The only ones inconvenienced were the dogs who weren't particularly happy about having to go outside to do their thing. I'm feeling better, but not 100% yet. This flu seems to have no intention of leaving... Sign in to see full entry.

Good morning. I'm still a long way from feeling good, but I am feeling better. I didn't sleep the best, but the dog was insistent on going outside... so I'm making a short post and going back to bed... but first... As I've eluded to several times, I have a Vella project titled, "Dealing With Grief."... Sign in to see full entry.

I slept better last night. I normally go to bed around 12:30-1 AM, but I think I was asleep before 10, and I slept through the night until 9 this morning, something very unusual for me. As several of you have commented and I have talked about, all work here has come to a halt if it requires me to do... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm feeling a little better after going to the ER last night with a fever of 103.8. Two liters of Normal Saline and Zanamivir at a fairly rapid pace, along with some nebulizer treatments of the same med after being diagnosed with Viral pneumonia, I came home at about 4AM this morning with the...

The Day Got Off To A Bad Start
The cell phone rang at 6:33 this morning. It was another call from a friend who is deeply depressed. She is in deep financial trouble, can't pay her electric bill, and can't properly feed her two kids. Her husband died three days after getting his fourth "vax shot" and he didn't have any kind of...
