Hey, Porch Peeps, @DaveMcK, @Therapist4u, @LaDolceVita, @Frozenoem,
It's been a while since I've been here. No excuse, really, just busy with mundane things...getting taxes ready to take to the preparer, renewing my web security (seems Best Buy is now separating it from the Geek service, and it has to be renewed separately). Then I was going back and forth with voter services trying to make sure my application for a mail in ballot was being processed. It's so annoying that we have to apply every year to get ballots for the year's elections! They mail you an application. You fill it out and send it back. Seems mine was received, awaiting processing, then "not received." Go figure. So, I re-applied online and they finally sent an email that it had been processed and I'd receive the ballot for next month's election. Arrgh!
Still going to PT, too.
Supposedly, according to my stepson, they are finally going to dig out the old and put in my new driveway next week. Looking forward to that aside from the inconvenience of getting in and out of the house and having to park my car somewhere other than the driveway.
So, nothing really exciting going on.
Hope you all are well and looking forward to the spring!
PS...@LaDolceVita ... My daffs are up and I see buds, but no blooms yet. My next-door neighbors have been blooming for a week! Guess it all depends on the type of bulb and the amount of sun. I could use that sauna right about now. Yesterday my physical therapist added another pound to my ankle weights and I really felt the burn. LOL

Hey @catwoman500
Even tho it’s “been a while since [you've] been here”.....what’s most important is that you could be here today (3/8)...& to know that you’re OK...just busy...(seems life has a way to always keep us busier than we want to sometimes...but we just have to plow thru it!)
And then there’s your stepson....what a guy.... to be so helpful! I’m sure the temp inconveniences of waiting to get the driveway finished... will be quickly forgotten ...once you have your new one!
Also, good to know you’re continuing your PT! Even better...to know that your “physical therapist added another pound to [your] ankle weights”.... rather than you simply “added another pound!” (...amiright?) 😄 Hahahaa
Anyway....I hope you’ve been doing WELL!
Also... wishing you a
🍀Happy St. Patrick’s Day! 🍀
Take care!

Staying warm is easy 55* presently in my mountains, last night it rained, still have mucho snow.Sounds like a great time to clean out my ash bucket for woodstove, and clean the glass with some of that ash.😎.

Can’t be a Mainah or he never spli and stacked 8 cords of firewood to feed his old Fisher Grandpaw wood stove..Or his Glenwood 1886 cookstove or his Kent woodstove or his new and much improved Lopi Liberty.
Really 2 cords of firewood is easier to cut and split..

I luv a wood fire,if its just a small fire to take off the early fall chill or a roaring blaze during one of Maine's Nor'easter s. I dont care. The feeling I get of security against Mother Natures anger is intensely comforting during a storm. Most find it romantic too lol

@LeeS4949 I agree with you on watching the fire, even in a crummy fireplace like mine, it feels good. I say crummy because it does not heat well.
Sauna update!! I have the thermometer and now no longer flying blind. Trying to acclimate to higher temps right now. No noticeable effects as yet, perhaps more relaxed after getting out. Blood pressure may be a bit lower. We get in every evening and sit for 20 minutes.
It rained so hard last night that I thought foundation migh giveway and we would be pushed down the hill. Looks like spring this morning though. Hope everyone is doing well. All OK here including furry kids.

Hey @LaDolceVita
How ya been?
Lat time I said I’ll check back to see how the home sauna story is unfolding...after the thermometer arrived! Well...I see that now at least it’s ‘no longer flying blind’ LOL!
Also I’m glad you’re seeing health benefits slowly emerge...hopefully it will be even better for you over time!
Most importantly....I hope you’re feeling, & doing, WELL..including your ‘furry kids’! 😸 HA!
BTW: Thank you so much for ALL the kudos!!
Anyway, as always... Take care!

(4/9/24) @LeeS4949 , have you thought about getting another cat? After Jeremiah (dog) I just cannot. Takes too much out of me when they are gone. He was my Walking Buddy. Even with Mr. No Name, who you know about - I will be devastated when he no longer comes around or I find him dead. 👵

I got another guy a while back. His name is Blackie.. An older guy ,not sure how old but the vet guesses about 15.. Cold,jet black, his story is a sad one.. He had been at the shelter for a very long time,passed over repeatedly for younger and prettier cats so I adopted him. He seems so happy now,the sad face he had at the shelter is gone and hes my best buddy. I guess we both needed something that connecting gave us. So glad !!!!!

Lee @LeeS4949 , I thought he was YOUNGER than the "girls" 😭😭😭
When you had posted about your "loss" when Ms. Stretch @MsStretch had posted about hers - I thought it was Mom Penny.
Hope I have the NAMES correctly in regards to who is Mom.
I am SO SORRY - "rest in peace" my boy 💙🐈💙

@Winter2024 ...I have seen the clips of that one and it looked really cute. Not sure what time it comes on my PBS station, but I think it's when I'm watching something else. Another one I should try to catch up on somewhere, sometime.
