  1. Those are really good ones. Never heard the IRS one before. That is so true. Maxine does come to mind on those.
  2. Miki, I pray your shoulder will get better soon. You didn't need to trip and then mess it up again. But hopefully not much damage and it will heal. Mt. Rider, glad you found a chair that won't hurt your back or hips. I am sure the old one has seen its better days. Hope it won't be too hard to get up 15 steps. Please be careful taking it up. Don't want any falls. Had wood stove going for 3 days now. My gas bill should be really small this month. Guess I will find out when the bill comes later in month. Tomorrow will be warmer, so letting fire go out and stove to cool so I can clean it out. Need to clean the glass as well. Had a bad coughing spell during night last night so not much sleep. Throat is irritated from it today. I'm tired but did get a few small things done, but didn't go to church as with covid, they still look at you funny if you cough or sneeze. Seems everyone still thinks that if you have the sniffles, cough or sneeze you still get those looks. I assume that this will be the norm from now on. Leftovers for dinner tonight. No cooking today.
  3. Freezing cold outside all day. Now 37* Have seen some flurries come down. Hoping we don't get snow, but it feels like it might. Seems it's too cold to snow and too cold to rain. I have a pot of chili on wood stove keeping it warm. That should be good tonight with some cornbread or crackers.
  4. Mt. Rider, I love the wood stove I bought. Have had a fire going past 2 days. It's going now as it is 38* outside this morning. It does heat the whole house and the boiler which is gas doesn't come on all day. House stays a comfortable 72*. Back of house stays around 68* which for the bedrooms I like better. Still working on boxes but getting there. I have vitamins, cold and allergy meds, my Rx meds I am going through now. putting them in better order in clear bins on shelve in closet. I have been stocking on sales and I have enough now to get me though a year to cover the shortages I have been seeing. My prescription meds. I am now up to 3 months ahead. Don't think I can get ahead any further than that. As it is one of my meds is always on back order and I can no longer get a 3-month supply. It has already caused me to go into my back up supply for that Rx. Most of my Vits. are D3, zinc and C. I do have some others that I take but these are the 3 I take Dailey. Mt. Rider, I hope that just maybe you can get a wood burning stove. I do have to order firewood and stack it myself, but I just call it exercise. I made it easy on myself though. I have a cart that will hold a weeks' worth of wood that I roll to the wood pile and load it up. Then just bring that to the garage. I load the old log carrier bag up and bring in to fill up the wood holder by the stove and can put a few logs under the stove as well. After doing that I will go back out with the cart and refill it and keep in garage till it is needed. So far it is working well. Jeepers, I am so glad things on the house are starting to come together for you. I know all too well what it's like to go through all that. Doesn't matter how you end up doing it, it's still a mess to have to go through. It's good to have that new furnace so you can get things dried out now. And even better that the insurance paid for it. GS said he was going to help me with house cleaning today as it is his day off. Yep, he's really doing a good job of sleeping all day. Still hasn't cleaned his bathroom, bedroom nor washed his clothes. That boy will never learn. I would really hate to see his apartment when he gets one. I am packing up things for him as I go through stuff, I want to get rid of and putting his name on the boxes. They are going in a corner of garage till he is ready to move out which I keep hoping will be soon. Hope everyone is over their colds and such and feeling much better. My cold is better but still have a lingering cough. But it to will pass. I keep a cast iron kettle on wood stove to keep the moisture in house. So that does help a lot.
  5. Jeepers, glad you are now getting that furnace. Once that is in place you can start getting things dried out. And then when the plumbers get the pipe fixed and you can turn water back on, the construction work can begin. I hope it goes quickly and well done. I know you are over all this mess. But at least things are looking up now. Will be looking for someone else to be doing my taxes this year. Now that I don't have that trust to worry with anymore. He is going up on the price to $400. I'm not paying that. I was wondering how H and R block is. I know they are a lot cheaper but how good they are I don't know. Seems I remember something about them being in hot water over the way they were doing people's taxes. Or it might have been that other company that I can't think of the name of offhand. But anyway, I will get it figured out, but I am not paying a fortune to have my taxes done. Went to cemetery to take the Christmas flowers off grave site. Normally I don't put anymore out there till early spring. Going to try to find some daffodils to put out there this spring. Reloaded the log holder in house and refilled the log carrier and put in garage. Suppose to rain tonight. It got up to 69* today. Yep, this Yō Yō weather is messing with my sinuses. freezing cold one minute and warm the next. Wish it would stay one way or the other.
  6. Looking at bedroom and the rest of boxes I have in there to clear out. I said to myself, Lord give me strength to get this finished. He gave me the strength to go lay down on couch and take a nap. I think he's telling me I over did it again. What can I say I need to get the rest of boxes emptied and everything in its place. So maybe this evening after dinner I will work a little on that. GS came home in a good mood. He said his ribs are getting better but wasn't going to the gym yet. He doesn't want to mess his ribs up and have them swelling up again. We never could find out if he had a hairline fracture or not because the clinic didn't send the x-rays out to the radiologist like she was supposed to. I never liked those places as they don't give you the proper treatment for why you went there in the first place. I swear they are intern doctors under supervision of some sort to learn. They really haven't learned much. But at least GS is doing better. We still need to have a talk about his moving out and a car. He does lie and I can see right through that. He's not really good at it. I am thinking that he needs to get his old car paid off asap. Then go to a dealership and check out cars. Not one of those online deals. He needs to test drive a car first. Not buy one offline. If he can do that then I might consider letting him stay till September 1st with some of the strictest rules he has ever had. I am not playing with him, and he now knows I mean business. He will have to save every penny he makes after paying bills for an apartment and then still has to pay me rent on top of that savings. If he doesn't do it, then he will find himself living in his car again. There will be a lot of new ground rules added as well. So, he left me a note last night not to clean up his mess in kitchen that he will do it when he gets up. Well, it is now almost 3;30 and he is still in bed. I cleaned the kitchen like I have to do every morning behind him. I can't stand a dirty kitchen. That will be something we will be talking about this weekend also. He still tells me my house is haunted. He has been saying that almost since he moved in with me. So now it is he can feel someone watching him and heard a voice. I keep telling him there are no such thing as ghost. So now I tell him it's his grandfather getting ready to kick his butt if he doesn't straighten up and behave. He just looks at me. Jeepers, those clinics are bad news. I try hard to stay away from them but sometimes you need a doctor and can't get into yours right away or is on vacation or something. So that is the only other options. They really don't seem to care about your issues enough to give you the proper treatment. And you are right, an antibiotic will not do anything for a viral infection. But clinics just do it to get you out and on to the next patient. They don't call it walk in clinics for nothing. They get a lot of walk ins at the ones here and all they seem to think about is give them whatever and get them out so they can close up and go home.
  7. Good will is going to love seeing me again. More boxes going to Good Will tomorrow. Glad to be able to get the downsizing in house about done. There will be a lot going to Good Will in early spring when I get those sheds cleaned out. Need to get tax stuff ready soon also. Seems it never ends. Got to call the Pharmacy to get a copy of what I paid out for RX's. That takes about a week so will do that tomorrow. Made tea and is in fridge. With GS here I make up 2 gallons at a time. He can go though some tea. DD talked to him this evening by text as he was at work and that was not the time to text him. But she did it anyway. Something up with the trading in of his old car but it will be up to his parents to help him out. Time for them to take a bit of responsibility for him as I think I have done enough. He and I will be sitting down and having a chat about his extended stay and what is to be expected of him here on out. I am sure he will help with the garden though. Just won't clean his bathroom or his room and other things. It's enough I have to start my day cleaning the kitchen up first thing in morning so I can do what I need to do. As soon as I get back into canning, he best not mess that kitchen up. He already found that out once so hopefully he will remember, and I will remind him. Still have a lot to go through in bedroom but closet is now cleaned out and getting things back in there and organized. Found a big box of my emergency supplies that had been in back of closet. Went through that and I have about 8 solar chargers that will charge phone, my amazon reader, etc. Those things work great. I have given all the kids one for Christmas over past couple of years and they keep them charged and in car. You can just put them on the dashboard, and they charge right up. Need to get all my flashlights together and charge the ones that do more than just a flashlight. Want to have them ready to use and will have them in the other faraday cage. Also, while looking for something in garage, I found the crab pot. It is very heavy and stainless steel. I am sure I can use that for a faraday cage as well. Though won't be much to put in it. But is bigger round than the metal trashcans so might work for the radios and laptop better. Need to work on that stuff and take inventory of what I have. Another busy day tomorrow and hope I have that room done. My back is killing me right now. But the heavy stuff is done now. And I still have the garden to work on. But to cold right now to till it up and get it ready for the fencing to go around it.
  8. Well, GS cleaned up his mess before going to work. He wants his rent money back to put down on a car. That money is supposed to be for when he gets an apartment. If I give it to him for the car, then I am stuck with him not moving out. He went into his savings account and who knows what he did with that money, but it is gone. He didn't pay Dec. payment on his car he has now and so he has to pay on that. Interest is building and he doesn't listen. He was supposed to move out by March 1st and if he does get a car that means I am stuck with him for another 6 months from March 1st. That is unless he thinks he has moved in for the duration. I'm tired of getting up every morning and cleaning up after him before I can start my day. I didn't clean his bathroom and we won't go there. Guess I just needed to rant and get this off my chest. He is one nasty boy. He was doing good for a while and now he seems to be reverting back to his old ways.
  9. Jeepers I am so glad you got some sleep. you will get a good night's sleep tonight as well. And that is wonderful that the insurance company is going to pay for a new furnace. That alone will save you a bundle. Talked with DD about GS today. Turned him over to them. They are going to talk to him and may be here this weekend to find out what is going on between him and this friend of his. He has been swindled out of money before and this sounds like same thing just in a different way. And GS works with this friend. He's the one that got him back on pot and now drinking a little on the days he has to work. That really makes me mad. I think he was drunk last Friday when he got home and puked on my driveway. Still hasn't cleaned it up but his car is where he will have a hard time getting into it when he leaves for work tonight. Yeah, I moved his car right where the driver door and the puke is. Then crawled over to the passenger side to get out. Put a dent in all those boxes. But still a lot to finish going through. My back is killing me from all the heavy lifting. Need to lighten the boxes a bit before lifting them but I want to get my bed back, so I don't have to sleep on couch again.
  10. Got a very early start this morning. Got closet emptied yesterday and this morning went through all my shoes and had to clean the dust from construction off of them. Yes, it was in the closet also. Seems every way I turn there is more dust. packed up a bunch of old shoes for the Good Will. I am sure I will be adding to that as I go through boxes that were piled in that closet during construction. Got the closet like I want it but not going to paint it now. That can wait for another time. I did dust down the walls and wiped them down good, cleaned floor and then started putting the shoes away. My bed is still piled up with stuff I am going through trying to decide where it all needs to go as I organize it all. I have a small stock of vits, RX meds, muscle relaxers, and antibiotics as well as a couple of covid test kits. I will be checking dates as I think they are all good but want to make sure. Getting those separated and into plastic shoe size containers and on shelve. This is the last of the boxes I needed to go through. When done I can get back to my normal routine again. Trying to figure out about my GS also. I told him he best have an apartment and moving out by March 1st. I think he is giving money to his friend as this seems to be his thing. One of the reasons he got in trouble with his parents. He had about $2000 in savings for his apartment and told me this morning he has $300 in it. So, he has been lying to me and spending money somewhere. But I am not seeing the evidence of it. Says he had to dip into savings for gas. I know that is a lye as he used my gas from shed to fill his tank up at least once. And he fills it every 2 weeks or was. I think with going to his friend's house and to the gym that he has to drive 30 to 45 minutes to get to the one that is open all night is taken up his gas money. Now he says he needs to buy a car first before getting an apartment. That tells me he has no plans to move out and I am tired of cleaning up his mess. He won't clean up behind himself and this is gross, but he came home from his friend's house and threw up on the driveway and left it for me to clean up. This was Friday and I am not going to do it. I pulled the house out yesterday and told him to clean it up and he said he would when he gets around to it. So now the hose is frozen and can't use the faucet. I am thinking rather to just throw him out or let him get his car which he does need. Give him 4 more months and just kick him out. I will be setting down some Strick rules and regulations if I give him another 4 months and this time it will be in writing that he will be kicked out if he doesn't save for an apartment. He was doing really well till he got involved with this so-called friend. Now he won't even wash his clothes and I am not doing that either. His room stinks from the vaping. He vapes outside or in his car, but the smell is in his clothes which are all over the place and dresser drawers are just pulled out and left that way. Unless I can get him away from this undesirable friend, he will go back to the old ways that got him in trouble so now I am in a mess as to what to do. I love him but I can't tolerate this mess.
  11. Jeepers, how old is your furnace. I hope he isn't just telling you that you need a new one and it is something that really can be fixed. Might want to get another company to check it before you buy a new one unless it is over 20 years old or something. And yes, prayers going out to all that are both sick and going through what Jeepers is dealing with. I know all too well about construction no matter how it comes about. Still coughing and sneezing but that's all it is. I think I am just adjusting to the weather getting colder again. I am over this Yō Yō weather. No fever but still a bit tired but didn't stop me from things I wanted to do today. I had not cleaned out my closet in bedroom since the construction was done. So emptied it out and will be sleeping on couch tonight and it was a lot in there where I just put lots of boxes in there out of the way from the bathrooms and such. So, bed piled up and all around the floor is a pile of mess. I want to paint that closet but not sure if I have the energy to do it. Found a few things of DH's and made me so sad today. All his hats he wore while working in garden and a pair of his dress shoes as well as a few other things. Almost 2 years now and when I find things while cleaning out it still hurts. But it will pass to a point it won't get to me as bad. He is very much missed. GS went to work so won't be home before 3 am. His rib cage is doing better but still a bit swollen and sore. Got my aero garden started but just for lettuce for now while I am figuring it out. Started the organic sprouting seeds and they have already started sprouting in just 2 days. So that is going well. Will be laying out my plans for garden hopefully by next week. Then will head to the Tractor Supply to see what type of fencing I will need. Yep, a job for GS. He loves to garden so I am sure he will help me get the fence up around it.
  12. Yep, I do believe Jeepers is starting to feel a bit better. What has eight arms, three hearts, uses camouflage, and has a very confusing plural form? The octopus. In plural form it is octopodes. It's Latin.
  13. Didn't make it to church this morning as I had been sneezing and a slight cough. More of a cold coming on, so thought it best to not go to church today. It was cold and rainy this morning so best to stay home. Made some coffee and set down and read Bible for a bit. Had coffee and then check the pork. Will be canning that tomorrow. Cleaned kitchen and got everything together to can in morning. GS is asleep as he is working tonight. Went out to garage to see what else I could pull out of freezer for canning. Lots of veggies in there still so putting those in dehydrator in morning. Need to order more O2 absorbers. I'm getting low on those. Will do that tomorrow also. Been thinking about the garden and making plans. Need to go to Tractor Supply for fencing to put around it to keep the rabbits out. Yes, they are still around. Saw one the other day run out from under the shed across the yard. First time I had seen one in about 3 months. Was hoping they had moved on. So, fence is going up around the garden. They ate more than I could harvest this past summer. So that will be fixed. I hope. Hoping for another warm spell so I can go out and start getting the garden tilled and ready to get the fence up as soon as I make it to the Tractor Supply store. Hopefully what I need will be on sale. Where I plant veggies at back window at the back house, I need to figure out about a fence there as well. Rabbits got all my okra, so I didn't get any of that last summer. Going to see about trying to set traps to catch them and take them somewhere. Not sure yet who to call about that. But they have to go. There were 5 of them that I saw last summer, and I am betting there will be more this summer. GS wants to trap them to eat. No thanks, I'm not that desperate yet. He can go fishing instead of rabbit hunting. Checking into the chickens to make sure we can still have them. I know a couple of our neighbors has them but haven't been able to catch up with them yet. Hoping they will know if anything has changed. I don't want to get everything set up and buy them just to find out I can't have them now. So best to check on that. Hoping this sneezing and coughing will go away soon. I don't feel bad just very tired. But then this to will pass.
  14. Got a call this morning early from my Sunday school teacher. We lost another member. He was my DH's Sunday school teacher, but they would come to our class when there was not a teacher as his would be out sick or was taking care of his wife as she was in our class. She passed a few years ago. Our Church members are getting smaller and smaller due to illness causing homebound patients and death. We are down to just under 100 members with maybe just over half being able to still come to church. It is sad to see a church going down like this. But it is made up of mostly older people as the children have all grown up and going to college and only in church when they are back home from college. Not many young children at all other than people that are coming in looking around for a church home. Pork is still frozen so will just leave in fridge till Monday morning and then it should be thawed enough to get it ready to can. Going to repair a couple of shirts and hem a pair of pants today. Do some ironing and then call it a day. Might sit down and do some reading later.
  15. Got clothes washed this morning and mopped floors. Cleaned bathrooms also. Pulled out some pork to make barbecue with as GS wants barbecue. I will be canning some again also. I have almost finished off what I had made a couple of years ago. I have 2 Boston butts I pulled out of freezer, and they are huge ones. So should make a lot of barbecue. They are in fridge thawing. Still need to get to my closet and empty it so I can get that painted and set like I need it to be. Shoulder has been hurting from the cold again and is coming from my neck. So, heating bad and resting it before I start that project. GS came home from work really hurting in the rib cage as they put him in cooler last night and he was lifting lots of heavy beef and chicken cases. They weigh anywhere from 80 lbs. up. He said another guy got hurt in the rib cage last night. It was one of the supervisors. GS just looked at him and said yeah, doesn't feel good, does it. He gave GS a hard time about his ribs and really did't believe he was hurt.
  16. Got veg. beef soup canned up this morning. Got 24 jars. Will get them put away tomorrow. Went to pick up RX at Harris Teeter after the soup was done and just left them in canner for pressure to go down while at store. Picked up RX and then walked around store. Talked with a lady that works there putting up stock. She said things are going to get worse and the prices will be going up higher. Said the CA trucking issue is going to hit hard. She also said CA needs to be cut off to be its own state. I did pick up some sale items for GS's boxes of food. I have started a 3ed box for him. He won't eat veg. or veg. beef soup but likes chicken and rice soup, but I don't know if I could make something similar and can it because I am not sure I could can it with the rice in it. So, it was on sale, and I bought him 6 cans for his stash for his apartment. Picked up some table napkins and Kleenex on sale for him as well. He loves the Mexican corn but that was not on sale so will keep an eye out for that. Need to move his boxes to a corner in his room as it is taking up floor space in my pantry that I need. Also got him 10 lbs. of sugar. They had peaches on sale with a 2025 date and I got 8 cans. Put up 4 for my long term and 4 for him. They were 4 for $5. for the Harris Teeter brand. I have been hearing there will be a shortage of peaches and some other fruits as well. So got those for him and me. I need to date them and put them in back of the other peaches for the rotation. Dinner is just heat up and serve so that is done for when he gets home. It's the pepper steak I fixed yesterday. Will get kitchen cleaned up and counters cleaned off as I am starting to pull meat out of freezers for canning. I am wondering if I can take some of the round steak I have and can it up with onions. Need to check on that. Looking for a different way to can chicken also. I have loads of chicken I canned raw a while back and want to do something different with some of what is in freezer. Thinking of new ways to change things up a bit. Need to make and can more ketchup as well. Also, I can no longer get my diabetic meds. for 3 months at a time because they are having a hard time getting it. I it stays on back order all the time. It is Trulicity and she said they were lucky to get that one. Ambergris, I love the chickens. Kappy, what chainsaw Mary heard is right according to what the lady in the store was saying. And there was no children's Tylenol to be found. I did see some adult Tylenol and it was on sale, so I grabbed one for a backup. Didn't hear about the beef and the store had lots of beef but not much on sale and what was on sale was high priced. the clerk did say a shortage of peaches was coming but won't just be frozen fruit but canned fruit as well.
  17. Got things cut up and made up a huge pot of soup to can tomorrow. That is in fridge and ready to go first thing in morning. Went out to garage and started breaking down all those boxes out there. Yes, there is a floor under all that mess. Still have a lot to do and go through out there but got a good start today. It was in low 70's today so was a good day for working in garage. Also got a carload of stuff and took it to the Good Will. So that is now done. Found GS's green batteries that he has been trying to find for a week. They were in his pants pocket in hamper. Glad I checked as he doesn't check his pockets when washing clothes and I have to remind him every time. Boys, they are never organized about anything. Hard to teach them also. Got the pepper steak on in the electric fry pan. It is on warm right now. Will be making the rice in a bit. Hopefully will have at least 3 extra meals out of it for GS when he comes home from work each night. This is his first day back in about 4 days so hoping he will do ok with his rib cage. He is still hurting but the medicine the doctor gave him seems to be starting to help a little. Still needs to get into his system a bit more to handle the inflammation. He is still swollen but is getting better.
  18. Jeepers, it sounds like you are now getting things in order. That is a good start. Just keep after them to get the furnace fixed. Seems with taking off on Monday and everything closed is making it hard to get some things done. Didn't get things I wanted to done today. So will start on it tomorrow. Just love how things happen to slow you down. GS's boss's boss wanted him to see his primary doctor about his rib cage. So took him to doctor but his doctor won't be in till tomorrow. And yes, the whole office was closed for over a week for the Holidays. But he did see the PA there. She wants him to follow up with the x-ray Tek that did the x-rays at patient first. That will be a joke as they never sent them to the radiologist like they said they would. He is still swollen in the rib area, and it is still painful. She did give him something for pain which is more than patient first did. Told him to go back to work if he wanted but to only play it by ear as to what he is able to do without making things worse. She wasn't sure of the type of job he does will affect his ribs or not. So, he is to just take it easy for a while and do what he can. He's going back in tomorrow night. Went to Harris Teeter to pick up his prescription and had him go through the store and look at prices. He did pick him up a couple of specials, but he got sticker shock. He couldn't get over how bad prices have gotten. This is what I have been trying to get through to him. To shop only the sales and look for better deals in different stores. So, he is starting to see now why I talk to him about these things. Once he is on his own, he will be buying his own groceries even though I have started a small food supply for him to get started and still adding to that. He will be on his own 100%. So, needs to learn how to shop sales and look for cheaper prices by shopping around and using what few coupons we can get now. He has learned if he wants to eat at some of the fast-food places use coupons for that. It will save a lot of money if you only do it that way. I do subway sometimes if I don't feel like cooking and those coupons save a lot. I don't buy drinks or anything else there, just the subs.
  19. Jeepers, I also was praying for you to have a safe trip but never expected all that. I always try to pray for anyone that is going out on a trip to be safe. I do that for my family and church members as well. Just glad you were not injured or anything. I do know that with insurance and your belongings are concerned when my old freezer quit working and we lost all our food, our insurance paid for that. All we had to do was take pictures of it. That was several years ago. So don't know if that has changed or not. But yes, with jewelry and other valuables you need to have that insured under a different policy for that. I do have that type of insurance as DH wanted all my jewelry insured. Had to get it all appraised but fully covered along with other things of value. If your insurance company says they will pay for a hotel, please do it as you can't afford to stay in all that mess. It's only a matter of time before mold and mildew starts up. GS had to go into work at 3pm today. He was to meet with the HR lady, and she didn't show-up. But did meet with his boss's boss and his boss. His boss wanted him to stay and work but the higher up boss told GS's boss not so fast that the way he was injured with the equipment that he was not the first person to get hurt with that equipment and he wants to talk with safety people about it. Told GS to go home and make an appointment with his primary care doctor as patient first are not that great. But again, today primary care is closed. So will try to reach him first thing tomorrow. He is to call his boss tomorrow at 4pm. But is off tonight and tomorrow. They really do have an equipment issue and hopefully now all this will get fixed. They can't keep having injuries because the equipment doesn't half work right. Got all Christmas decorations put away and now I can clean house really good and start back to getting things in order and organized again. So, while pressure canners are going, I will start emptying my bedroom closet. Will be a busy week for me.
  20. Got most of the decorations down and getting them put away. Just the wreaths on front door to take down. Waiting for it to warm up a bit more before putting away in shed. Going to get things together today to start canning soups and stews. Will hopefully get meat canned as well. I really need those freezers to be emptied. Just have to pull things out to thaw so I can get things made up to can. Will be making pepper steak for dinner tonight. GS loves that. So can make enough for at least 2 or 3 meals for him. Cleaned out fridge early this morning and got that out of the way. Will take it easy this evening and try to get some reading done.
  21. Jeepers, what you have in buckets should be fine. The buckets would protect what's inside. GS's boss called and told him not to come to work today. He is to go in at 3 pm tomorrow. They will decide on light duty for him if he has any issues with heavy lifting. He's up but still hurting and can't sit very comfortably. He still hasn't heard from radiologist yet. Being the holiday, it may be a day or two before he knows for sure if he cracked a rib or just severe bruising. I got lazy today, was going to put all the decorations away today but going to bed at 4 am last night did me under. no energy. But tomorrow is another day. Just went to drug store and came home and finished up GS's laundry which he almost had finished anyway.
  22. Wow Jeepers! You really had a rough Christmas. Sorry you had to go through all of that. And what Mother said. Call insurance and take pictures of all the things that are damaged or destroyed from the water. Insurance should replace all of that. The main thing is that you are ok. for you and your family to get well. None of you needed to get sick on top of all of that mess. That is going to be new dry wall and much more They will have to check out the electric where water went down into the light fixtures also. Went to drug store to restock some items I haven't stocked in long time and to pick up a couple of items for GS that he needed. His hands are very chapped from working in the freezer at work. I bought him some heated gloves and he has already tried them out and loves them. His rib cage is still very swollen but is able to move around a bit more. Still hurts to take a deep breath or cough. He is going back to work tonight. More than likely on light duty but better than nothing. We had a good New Year's Eve. We sat around till 4 am just talking about all kinds of things. He opened up to me a lot about issues that was bothering him over the years. Hopefully now he can move on from that. He is even talking about going to Church with me. So very positive altitude. Maybe now he can move on and better his life. His anger is much better controlled than from when he first moved here with me. So much improvement. I hope to see it continue. And yes, we both had a rum and coke. Had to celebrate with a little drinking but we only had one. He got his clothes washed and I stayed up with him till 4 am. Was up early this morning and now ready for a nap. But don't want to take one as I might not sleep tonight. Hope everyone had a wonderful New Years and yes Jeepers this to will pass and you will have a great rest of the year.
  23. Happy New year everyone. I have been up with GS bringing in the New Year. Now I can't sleep. Been going through the pantry with GS to make sure of what he will eat. There are a lot of things he didn't realize I had that he would eat. So that is good. So will be making stuff for him and we won't talk about the sneaky veggies I started doing to get him eating veggies. What he doesn't know won't hurt him. I am wondering how things are going to go for 2023. The things I keep hearing is how there will be even less food and possible famine. Don't know how that will affect the USA as it seems we are the last to feel the effects. But for the other parts of the world, it is already really bad. I am hoping that things won't get any worse than they have been. But only time will tell.
  24. That would be a great idea for GS. He's not a big cake eater but does eat cake now and then. So, no waste doing it this way. I will be giving this a try to see how he likes it.
