@SummerOnTheWay1 ...I usually buy the six packs of plants like @LaDolceVita. Years ago, when I was ambitious (and way younger) I tried the seeds. Not much luck with them. When I taught first grade, we always planted sunflower seeds because they sprouted and grew fast. that was fun.

@SummerOnTheWay1 , doesn't appear to be hairball, maybe ate too fast? When my indoor cats used to gag, I would run to take them off the carpet or the bed or the furniture and move to bare floor or grab a newspaper or similar and stick it in front of them.  I once grabbed my cat to move her, but not fast enough because she ended up puking all over me. 😠

@SummerOnTheWay1 ,Yes, for sure, Willie Mae AND Giorgio have me wrapped around their paws, but let's talk about Mister.  😜 Heh, heh, heh.  

 

Glad to hear your bone density and diabetic tests showed everything is copacetic. 👍

 

Yep, VA got a lot of snow, but thank God for above freezing temps (unlike the last go-round when the snow and ice stuck around forever 🥶), and most of it has melted with minimal shoveling.  Made it to my nephrologist appointment this morning with no problem.  My low sodium is back on the right track, nothing that warrants me taking salt tablets. Not to mention, how often does one get the green light to use lots of salt on your food and eat salty foods?🧂 I had left early since I wasn't sure how roads in my neighborhood might be (we are the last to get plowed), but had no problem and got to doc early.  No one else was there, so I guess they called me back earlier than my 10:00 appointment since I walked out of there at 10:05!  Now how often does that happen particularly at a doctor?

 

@LaDolceVita , good to hear you didn't have Covid or RSV, but when you're sick, it really doesn't make a diff when you still feel like crap. 🤒 

 

@catwoman500 , enjoy the fun tomorrow. 🦅💚

 

Frozenoem did say he was moving, but also had a few health issues, and might be sporadic checking in; still hoping everything is OK.  @Therapist4u, you're a trooper.  Hope you get some relief.

@SummerOnTheWay1   Good for you on bone density test and the prediabetes!  They tested me for Covid, Rsv and flu, positive for fluA.  As for the Frozen Guy, I am worried too. Did he not mention moving?   That would take up some time.  Hopefully he will update us soon.  @catwoman500  hopefully you will not get the bugs going around.  @DaveMcK    Hope you are well.

First of all, I have to give a shout-out to @catwoman500. 🎉🏆 Happy for you.  There was no stopping the Eagles on Sunday.  What a game.  I bet they're still dancing in Philly. 🕺💃

 

@LaDolceVita , glad you're feeling better.  That flu is a nasty thing. 🤒 @SummerOnTheWay1 is right, lot ot it going around VA.  I did get the flu shot last fall and knocking on wood, it does its thing.

 

Had to hit the doc this morning for treatment and it had starting snowing when I left there.  (The office was closing as soon as all the patients had left and guess who was the last one? 😏)  Road had been pretreated and it was still above freezing so had an uneventful ride home.  And surprise!  I didn't see a whole lotta yahoos on the road!  Little snow, mostly rain tomorrow and temps above freezing, so hopefully, this snow storm is just a little speed bump in the road.

 

@SummerOnTheWay1 , furkids are snuggled in their warm kitty huts/beds.  I am not looking forward to going out to feed them later this evening.  Willie Mae will probably get the zoomies and want to go take care of personal business and I will have to go clear a spot for her. 🙄 (Yeah, yeah, I know.  Don't ask.)

Hey, Porch Peeps!

@LaDolceVita ...Glad to hear you are feeling better. Haven't had any of my friends get the flu so far...knock on wood, but others have come down with Covid of all the darn things. All of these people were up on their Covid shots, too. Go figure!

I lay low most of the time except for the necessary errands.

This month has been pretty empty of obligations and I'm loving it except for the cold temps. We're supposed to get more snow this afternoon into tomorrow morning, but it's better than the ice we had Saturday night. No way could I get to the grocery store on Sunday to get my Eagles discount. 😾

After this next snow, there is more "something" coming Wednesday night into Thursday. 

 

@MsStretch ...thank you! We did certainly dominate that Super Bowl. 🦅 🏈

It was very noisy around here for a while Sunday night. 

 

Due to the crazy weather we are having this week, the parade in Philly is taking place on Friday, Valentine's Day.

 

@SummerOnTheWay1 ...You and Mister sound like quite the item. 😍

 

Hope everyone stays safe!

Hi folks, I had a nasty case of the flu lasting almost 3 weeks.  @SummerOnTheWay1   While I was sick I finished watching Seaside Hotel & have returned to watching Hotel Portofino.  I thought about you and wondered if you had returned and now here you are!! 😁 😎

 

Almostfinishe with doctor appointments for a while.  A visited a functional medicine nurse practitioner .  More on that when I get my results.  Also loving the Wellness Center, AKA Old People's Gym.

@SummerOnTheWay1 , yes, Willie Mae eventually made her appearance and is doing fine after several search expeditions.  Saw her peeking out from under a shed, and she finally came out after I dug out a semi-trail for her.😏 Thanks for asking. 

 

She has developed an annoying habit though.  In the evening, she will not eat on my deck instead running off expecting me to follow her (and of course, I do) and then, heads to a garage door where she eats.  I suspect it is due to the orange stranger cat that sometimes shows up to help himself to any vittles.  Giorgio will not hesitate to stop him and run him off and protect his mom, but Willie Mae does not like confrontation.

 

So has Mister moved inside full-time yet? Baby, it's cold outside! 😁😸
