28 Days until Spring!

 



The snow is melting.  We've had a week of temperatures above freezing and it's really helped reduce the depth of the snow.  Lucky could even make it to the upper yard yesterday and frolicked in the snow there for the first time in weeks.

Funny dog thing:  Tinkerbell the chihuahua that Lucky visits every day.  She always pretends she is angry at Lucky.  The first thing Lucky does when he visits is search the floor for any trace of dog food she may have left.  Nancy says she leaves a little piece or two of kibble every morning...an act she does not repeat with her evening meal.  The belief is that she leaves that for Lucky.  They both become upset if they don't get to see each other for a while.

I haven't done any sewing this week but that's because I was taking folks to doctors.  


Brad finally agreed to go the doctor for his costochondritis on Wednesay after two weeks of pain and spasms.  He's on 4 drugs now and I'm hoping it all works.  Thursdays seem to be the busiest day of the week.  Yesterday I took Dave to the hospital to have his feeding tube replaced.  He wasn't allowed to drive after the procedure so I chauffered him.

My brother Jim has some new developments.  The epidurals on his back are not really effective anymore.  The doctor wants to try a nerve burn now.  This coming Thursday I take him for one of two appointments required before that procedure.  The doctors need to know he will respond before they do it.  However, when talking to the nurse at Brad's appointment, she said she knew of a doctor that had the nerve burn and it really helped him.  Keeping fingers crossed!


I watched a video that I found really interesting.  You might too if you enjoy women's history and/or embroidery.

It is Sarah Homfray's post on Mary Linwood:  here.

I'm really hoping things slow down soon.  We'll see how it goes.

Have a safe and happy weekend!
