Celti, glad to hear the thumb is doing well. I'm a big advocate of styptic powder and liquid. Stops the blood flow almost instantly, but it does sting like heck!
Lizzie, nice to hear the Cash is making progress with "tidiness". It can be a frustrating process but it is really necessary. I can sympathize with your hip problem, mine give me grief sometimes, especially with weather changes. Even getting comfortable in bed can be a problem at times.
We've had enough warmer weather that all the snow of the "Blizzard of ought '16" disappeared, other than the big piles left by the plows. I was planning on, finally, getting the Christmas lights down today or tomorrow. Unfortunately those plans are covered in another blanket, albeit thin blanket, of snow.
This time it's the wet, heavy, variety and all the trees are cloaked in white veils. There's only enough on the ground to hide the grass and ugliness of the dirty piles left over from the last go 'round and the roads seem to be clear. It's supposed to stop later this AM and the temps will be high enough to melt it all, or at least most of it, away today. The saving grace...Mother Nature put it there and will take it away.
neighbors left behind. It isn't quite bad enough to go get it seen by the ER but its bad enough for me to doctor the heck out of it for the next few days to a week. Tomorrow (today
) Had a big falling out on account of his major attitude (She even said he can be an @$$). He still owes my fiance $$ for work he did for him.
