Good Saturday morning to you. At least this I morning the thermometer is showing two digits even if it is only 20., I’ll take it. The sky is overcast today and probably will be most of the day because we are supposed to get rain by this evening and tonight. But the temps will go up and the melting will occur and what doesn’t melt will be washed away in the rain. 

I see the garbage cans still have not moved from where I sat them on Wednesday evening. Actually, I was early putting them out because I forgot about them having aa New Year’s Day holiday. Som instead of pickup on Thursday morning early, they should have picked it up yesterday morning early. But then —- snow and ice on the roads prevented that so I thought maybe they would be here today,. But so far —- nyet!!

Tomorrow is our last day of steroids and antibiotics with this crud we have had. We are both doing well — cold wise, but the meds have really screwed up Ms. Kate’s sleep cycle I think. Come bed time and she is wide awake. This morning she finally came to bed at 0400 and was back up at 0630, only to go to her recliner where she is currently snoozing away. Part of her problem with coming to bed was laying flat and coughing. I had gone to bed at 0100 which is kind of normal for us but she was still working on craft stuff. Hopefully when she is done with the meds, she will be back to normal. 

I had a productive day at the desk yesterday and got some good writing done. I have one more service to put together and sermon to write before we head out on vacation and I have a couple of weeks to get that done. I may decide to do it today and get it done and off of my mind. If I don’t, I will fixate on the delay. 

I ordered a bunch of seed cylinders yesterday and expect them to be delivered today. As I told you I was going to, I did order almost all of them seasoned with hot pepper. That will keep the squirrels off of the feeders although I think the starlings and blackbirds are all of Mexican descent because it doesn’t slow them down one bit. 

That’s about all I have for you today, It’s a slow gossip day in the neighborhood. No one is even pout walking a dog this morning. Have a blessed weekend. Stay in touch with God. Peace.
