Really does look great, David. Glad it’s going well too. I bet Scruffy is ready for the crew to get lost. :)
Yes I'm sure he is. I'm ready for it to be done as well. Then I can work on putting his fence back in place and get dome more pavers for his door step. I'll need to get some for part of the front where the rain falls on the ground. Cheaper than new gutters. And I've about got my cold beat. Could be I added a dash of lemon and a shot of whisky to my nightly Hibiscus tea helped. :)

That's a bummer.
Doc told me they have pulled back on prescribing antibiotics. Must because last resort and not a first resort. I’m in the Duke Health system. She said they’re not the only ones pulling back. Too many antibiotics had been prescribed and immunity to them has been rising.

I’ve experienced a lot of sinus infections. Sinus rinsing works for prevention and during infection. Sit down, bend forward and tilt head to the side then spray 2-3x and hold, then turn head and do the other side. Several times a day. After a day or two the infection is nearly gone. (No antibiotics needed for me).

Many people can get rid of sinus infections on their own. They do things like you describe. Sadly, there are some of us that cannot get rid of them other than antibiotics. This will linger for months on end otherwise. Ask me how I know.

Do you have a basement?

Nah, not gonna make you explain. You’re beaten down enough from the rotten sinuses. My ex had the same problem and had 2 surgeries and high potency antibiotics and still had almost continuous sinus infections.

I’ve also avoided antibiotics by taking oregano oil (sublingual application). Been taking it this week. I know I’m fortunate. I’m really sorry these things don’t work for you. It sucks.

Afternoon.... Monday deliveries went good. I'm happy to say the siding is done. Guess I can start putting things back on the walls.. It looks much better...

    Afternoon... Not doing anything today. We had snow yesterday and it's 20 with single digit wind chill. The big storm is heading this way. The forecast started saying 8 to 10 inches. Now it's down to 3 to 6 inches. And a little shif to the north or south will change it either way. No matter what it does it sucks..

    Morning... No work today. The mid and southern part of the state is closed for the most part. We're at a level 2 snow emergency. That means do go out unless you feel you need to. I already cleaned my truck off and shoveled the drive in front of it. Just to make it easier in the morning. The winds are going to drift this snow around today. The bad part is it's going to stay in the 20s for the next week so the snow isn't going anywhere... I'm already tired of it...

    Hello Everyone. Housework will be my undoing. I have stuff under my kitchen sink I don't even know what it does. Does a stain require Grease cleaner, oxy-something or another, spot remover ....
    So I am trying an online dating site called Our Time, it's for people over 50 ( I qualify). Leery of the very young looking 51 year olds with pretty avatars and no info. And they want your cell phone number. I was born in the morning, but not this morning. I am chatting with a lovely 55 year old who is a self described jewelry designer. I figure that's a little vague (Diamond cutter for a national chain or turquoise seller at county fair ?) so I won't bother. She hails from PA so I call it "networking". And I'm keeping a close eye on my bank accounts. Never use phone for financial or personal stuff, ever, use Mac book at home for that. Still, an occasional text message shouldn't hurt too much.
    There are red flags to web dating ;
    NO Travel (I've done enough of that)
    NO kids (especially the grown ones still living at home)
    NO smoking
    NO alcohol or drugs
    NO liberals
    And no woman who looks like 'Chuckie's' Mom, zoo animals, Chris Wallace's or Danny DeVito's twin sister, etc. etc. etc.....
    Natasha makes a good companion, maybe I'll just be a dog person from here on out.
