The holidays are over for another year and Winter is back in force again. We've had below freezing temperature days and below zero nights for the last week or so. Had to raise the thermostat a couple of notches and started wearing my sweats to bed!! We haven't had a lot of snow, but everything looks cold outside my windows!!
To be honest, except for letting the dogs in or out, I haven't gone outside in days! I even stayed home last Wednesday when Jeff went to Little Falls for his yearly cardiology checkup. (MD's report: Everything's looking good/ See you next year!) The same week, he ran out of his weekly insulin and eventho there was still 1 refill on the Rx, Walmart couldn't fill it. They were all out!! We called his doctor and her office called around and found some at Hannaford's, so they switched his Rx to them. He was impressed and is thinking of switching all his Rx's to Hannaford's.
Jeff was talking about going to town today but decided to take a nap instead. We went to the library on Friday, and I don't want to go out again so soon. I'm happy going to town once a week and this week I have to go have an INR on Thursday. I know we'll have to do some grocery shopping and should go back to the library then, too. I got Prince Harry's book, Spare, and it's boring. He's a Peter Pan. Uck!
Besides reading late at night, I've been doing some knitting. I've got 2 baseball hoodies going and when they're finished, I'll do some hats. I know I should be knitting more but I get what I call "Vulcan" hands (cramps)...and they hurt!!
Sherry, Jeff's sister, has lost both of her dogs (mini-Schnauzers) this winter. Max was as old as Fanny, and Sunny was about Zoey's age. I was shocked to learn that it cost almost $600 apiece to put down those little dogs. (I've never had to pay to put a dog down. Our dogs always seem to die of old age.) Now Sherry's shopping for a new puppy and I'm finding it shocking how expensive puppies are! She said the humane society shelters seem to have only big dogs and pit bulls. We both wonder what happened to all the 'mutts' there used to be?
