Farewell to you, November

I'm still recovering from my sinus infection....Worked from home today, but planning to go to the office tomorrow for a good start to December.

It is pouring outside as I type this. I guess we're supposed to have heavy winds throughout the night.  (Hope we don't lose power.)  November is not leaving quietly!

Dad 542: Happy Thanksgiving!

(Wishing you all a happy holiday weekend! Dad writes today. Thank you for reading our blog! ~ Tracy)

 

Derf Here! Another cold (32°), cloudy day which included some snow showers this morning. No accumulation of snow. Thanks for that.

 

Just got back from visiting Mary Lou through the window. She didn't have her long pants on and doesn't know where they are. Still had her nightgown on. Called the home and was transferred to the nurses' station. Didn't answer so I hung up. I'll check later.

 

No birds in the birdbath as it is an ice rink. It would be a cold bath day.

 

Short blog today. As Mrs. Gurney said in the Wally Cox show "Mr. Peepers" of long-ago television: Happy Turkey Day!

 

Done for now!

 

Until next time!

 

Toodle Pip!

 

Derf!

Bloggy Break

I know I have ignored my blog since Dad's post on Wednesday. I hadn't been feeling that great all week, so I went to the doctor on Thursday and was diagnosed with a viral sinus infection. It's been an annoying little bugger! I won't be going back to work until the 30th, but fortunately I can work from home when I feel up to it.

Rest, fluids, saline nasal spray, ibuprofen.... My current daily life in a nutshell.

Next post will probably be Dad's on Wednesday.

Have a great Thanksgiving week!

Praise the Lord.

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;

    his love endures forever.

Dad 541: Temps and Technology

(Dad writes today. One update to his post: Zack's already home! ~ Tracy)

 

Derf Here! Enjoying another beautiful day. However, it is very cold after having fine warmer weather to date. Lew's birdbath was frozen throughout the whole day. Temp on TV has been 30° all day. The sun is not having an effect on frozen water today. It gives me an idea of what to expect before it gets better. Could we bypass December through February?

 

Still can't visit Mary Lou. Looks like our visits will remain peering through windows and screens. The only time we freely talk is when Tracy visits with me and she contacts Mary Lou on her cell phone. Eventually I want to be able to use our cell phones. (Mary Lou and I are not very adept with this modern technology!) Then we will be able to talk during the cold winter.

 

Rumor has it that Zack will be home from University of Maine on Friday. He will return to school in January. He will take classes through the computer. Also, Josh will be home in about a week, shortly after Thanksgiving! Looking forward to their return.

 

Kelsey has a birthday tomorrow. They will celebrate Bode's birthday on December 6th (his actual birthday is December 19). Happy Birthday to both!

 

Until next time!

 

Toodle Pip!

 

Derf!

Good Night!

The election ruckus and the COVID-19 restrictions are tiring me out.

And yesterday my throat was sore and it still is today.  (Fortunately, that's only one "Yes" to the questions they ask us at work. If I had a "Yes" to one more symptom, then I probably would get sent home.)

Oh, yeah... and we're getting ready for the new software implementation at work. Nothing tiring about that. (Ha!)

I am going to bed early tonight!

Saturday Afternoon Conversations

Lew and I have the following conversation almost every Saturday afternoon. Today was no exception.

ME: Do you want to write a blog post today?

Lew pauses to think it over. I try to wait patiently and then I just can't help myself....

ME: It's okay if you don't want to.

LEW: No, I don't think I will today.

ME: That's okay.

LEW: My life is pretty boring lately.

ME: Same here.

LEW: I don't have anything new to share.

ME: Same here.

Lew goes back to watching whatever sports event is on TV. Today it's the Masters Tournament. 

I put a load of laundry in the washing machine.

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND! 😊

Hello!
