@flyingdumbo127, I'm glad your dad got his vaccination and that they made the appointment for his 2nd dose! They did that for my MIL as well.
@lynxstch, I love that meme! I've had that saved up for a while. So true at this time of year...
@dazedx3, I'm so sorry for all that you're experiencing right now. This February has truly been a lousy month (and that's an understatement). A lot of hugs and prayers coming your way
@Breezy_Carol, Happy Belated Birthday!
Well, Happy (?) Monday from the cold and dreary NE. Joshie at least got to have a full day at school, no full remote day or early dismissal day. Many of the towns around us called an early dismissal, but it's just raining here. Josh also woke up yesterday with a slightly swollen, red eye. After a warm compress in the morning, he looked and felt fine all day, but this morning it was even more swollen and red. We ran him over to the doctor this morning and it's just a stye, "not pink eye and not contagious" as she wrote on the note that I had to deliver to the school. And we still managed to get him to school on time
DH and I went to Home Depot on Saturday to look around at "stuff" for the living room. My mother has some "notions" swirling around in her brain...paint the walls, window trim, and the fireplace mantel/surround, "do something" about the brick part of the fireplace surround, get new fireplace doors, paint the massive bookcases, etc. I saw on the Behr paint website that the color "Canyon Dusk" is the color of the year, and the more I thought about it, the more I liked it. I've got a sample of that hanging on the wall now, with a couple of creamy off-whites for the trims. Unfortunately I don't think I like either one in the light...one is too bright with a yellow undertone, and the other one is definitely pink. Need to start over with those.
I think the Wellbutrin kicked in and I noticed that about an hour after I take it, I get jittery, shaky, my thoughts start going a thousand miles a second and I can't speak fast enough to get them all out of my head. Otherwise I don't really feel any different. Still feeling anxious and depressed. I did have a really good (for me) blood pressure that afternoon, though - 120 over 82! I was VERY surprised!
We spent the day with my MIL yesterday. She doesn't seem to want to talk about Dad too much yet. My BIL stopped by and Josh was thrilled. He is suddenly VERY into his uncle - when it's him, DH, and BIL, he likes to say that "the men are all together!" Wish we could start up with live events and stuff again - when Josh was born, DH said that at some point, the three of them could go do stuff together, like go to a hockey game. My BIL only has 2 daughters, and he's spent the past 16 years going to dance class, the mall, things like that, so he's VERY happy that there is finally a boy in the family! (And it's a boy who thinks he's really cool - his teenage daughters certainly don't think he is at all!

)
Looking forward to dinner tonight. I've been really hungry lately. Wonder if that's the Wellbutrin...
