It is so nice to be off from work when there is a big snowstorm coming. Unfortunately, DD and I both have to work this weekend in the midst of this big Nor’easter we’re getting. We decided to book a hotel room near the hospital so we don‘t have to battle a snowbound/plow-ridden, likely 2 hrs of traffic home and 2 hrs back when we only have 11 or so hours off in between shifts. I don’t sleep well in hotel rooms but at least we’ll be comfy and warm. I have never missed work for a snow day so I’ve driven in a lot of craziness. Not up for it this week, though (it’s been rough here). I just pray everyone else shows up - we’re already down.
Good luck at the doctor’s today, Lynn.
Loved the stuffed dogs, Snowysmom.
Have a nice and safe trip, Easyas.
Interesting way to shop for dresses! I suppose more and more shopping is done online now. I like to feel and hold things and try them on, but it is getting harder and harder to find things I like locally. I hate doing returns. (And I have some piling up that I have to do myself here, too.
)
Sorry about losing favorite jeans, that’s the worst. I lost a favorite jacket recently. I knew I had it on our last trip in Sept, but I couldn’t find it anywhere. I just found it last week, it was tucked in the bottom of my carry on and I couldn’t see it when I unpacked. I must’ve taken it for the plane in case it got chilly and not worn it, then forgot about it. Nice to have it back, though I missed it for fall, which it’s really best for (and spring).
Got caught up for a couple of days doing the low-key playlist for those of us who loved his music threads. It was kind of therapeutic. I always hate losing a friend. PollyannaMom and another volunteer were a big help. I might start putting my own together today from those songs. I do have to do some grocery shopping though, and figure out what to bring to eat that we can heat up in the room. So relatively crap eating for a few days, probably.
DS and I took a ride down to the cemetery yesterday. He is taking a lot of steps to move on in his life and he wanted to go. (He was very close with my mother since she lived with us from before he was born.) We said some prayers, and had a couple of chuckles (we decided not to leave fresh flowers out in the bitter cold as it would be a waste, so we left a Dunkin’ Munchkin on each headstone so at least the birds or squirrels would have a treat; once we left a baseball as that was all we had in the car during an impromptu visit, lol, I don’t think it really matters). As we were leaving we had a great God Wink that was pretty mind-boggling, so that was nice. (Something we had literally just prayed about showed up right in front of us!) I was thinking of PollyannaMom while there, I know you said you put flags out there during Veteran’s Day. Someone had actually put a wreath out on my father’s grave. I think it might’ve been the family of someone newly interred there, as there were others, too. But it was very sweet to see.
Oh, and then we went for lunch at a favorite place nearby. DS still doesn’t have much of an appetite but I had no trouble inhaling a delicious breakfast plate, was famished.
That’s about all I’ve got. Stay safe if you are in bad weather, and enjoy hunkering down if you get that blessing! Keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers!
Enjoy the weekend.

I pray I never have to take something that cost so much, I wouldn't be able to afford it.
. Went to bed at 10:00 and back up at 2:30 to let the dogs outside. But then I couldn't fall back to sleep until around 4:00. Wouldn't have been that bad if I didn't have to be back up at 5:30 to get ready for work. I really thought about just calling in sick but I decided to suck it up and get ready. Why waste a vacation day.
. He needs his yearly check-up and shots but I want the vet to look at his ears. I think he must have an allergy that bothers his ears. I know he doesn't have an ear infection but his ears bother him.
