When winter got here, it came in with a bang. Starting Saturday afternoon, we received 3 inches of the white stuff. But, I have to say it was really beautiful looking around here on Sunday morning. And it was a “convenient snow”, meaning it didn’t stick on the roads or sidewalks. By Sunday afternoon much of it had melted. But it is snowing (flurries) again right now. Our weather forecaster said that we officially received the three inches which is more than we received the entire winter season last year. But forecasters are all saying this will be a colder and wetter winter and to watch out for January. 

Nothing ever stays calm or routine health wise around here. Last Tuesday, Ms. Kate went for her introduction to her cardiac rehabilitation. That evening she started coming down with some kind of cold/flu-like symptoms. Well, it has continued to develop. It has developed into serious coughing spells that literally get her to the point that she can’t breathe. This morning we took her for her first actual rehab session and they sent her right back home and told her to call her doctor because they were hearing wheezing in her lungs and she still has a cough. She called Dr. Jackson’s office and now she has an appointment to see the NP at 3:10 today. I will not be surprised if they send her to Deaconess for admission with pneumonia. Hopefully though, they will be able to put her on some kind of antibiotic but she is allergic to so many of them. So, we will see what happens. There is a lot of crap going around the community. Church was half empty yesterday because of it. 

Can you believe it is December 2nd? This year will be gone in 29 days and it will be 2025. Christmas is going to be so weird this year. Christmas Day and New Years Day both fall in the middle of the week. Julie and Jim have to work the day before and the day after each of those days so they will not be coming over. It will just be Ms. Kate and I. We have the tree up but no decorations on it. It’s going to be a “bah- hum-bug” Christmas. Kate and I could maybe think of doing something on our own but with her health, planning ahead is not much of an option. But, I won’t grouse or complain. Life is what it is and we are both still so very blessed. 

That’s it for today. Have a wonderful week. Peace.
