I am off to my rheumatologist office to get my 6 month infusion. More later

My morning did not start well. My Apple computer was hacked. It really looked real and kept repeating a message, I finally was able to turn the sound down and used my phone to search how to remove the warning. It had what claimed to be an Apple phone number to report it to over the warning both of which was of course fake. I'm so glad I did nothing. I called the computer repair place I've used to set up all my computers and they said since I hadn't clicked on anything or called the number claiming to be Apple I could just turn my computer off wait a couple of minutes and turn it back on. It was a long two minutes but thankfully it came back on healed! I've mentioned I've been planning to order a new one as this one is so old it can't be updated. I guess this was the incentive I needed.
Other than that it is a beautiful day with sunshine and a warm 57 degrees. The moon is in the right position for cutting hair so I gave DH a haircut. Since I had him sitting right beside the grooming table the dogs decided treats were as usual going to be given and they all waited patiently for theirs. I did not disappoint. Karen I hope the time you have to spend getting the infusion passes quickly for you. Shirl enjoy your lunch with your daughter.
I'm fixing oats for my third breakfast. I lost two pounds with an upset digestive system this week so I need to eat as much as possible as I had already lost 4 pounds in the last few weeks. I can't eat much at once and really don't feel hungry.
My other surprise was when I opened our gas and electric bill yesterday $516.00 !!! That really cold spell we had with temps at or below zero for almost a week sure was expensive but I am glad we aren't using propane no telling how much it cost them to keep warm.

BJ, I wish I could go to the hospital in the motorhome. You are lucky if they call you when you are in the waiting room. They wouldn't be that accommodating to call you outside. I wouldn't feel safe where I would have to park. If I have to leave after dark I leave my purse with my son in the hospital until I can get closer. There is plenty of security in the hospital but I have yet to see any outside. Hopefully we won't have to go back but I'm ready to try a different hospital. Glad your computer is ok. I've had that warning a couple of times. I wish these people would get a real job and leave us alone. Any time there is something strange going on I have searched for it on line and can usually find an answer.

My electric bill was up $100 because of the freeze. I'm glad I don't live where it's that cold all winter. Now it's air conditioning sometimes and sometimes heat at night.

I need to get moving and get things loaded today so I don't have to do it in the rain tomorrow.

A couple of water bottle tips: Think of them as big ice cubes. When I worked, I would keep a bunch of the smaller bottles in my freezer about 3/4 full of water. I almost always packed a lunch and put a frozen bottle of water in my insulated lunch box. Kept everything cold until lunch and then I could drink the water! I also used to do the same thing if I packed food for a drive when I did not want to stop for fast food. Even now, I keep two or three partly frozen bottles of water in the freezer and then move them to the refrig so they are partly thawed when I want to drink them. Having them with ice in them helps me drink more water. Often I even put one beside my bed for nighttime.

I have two quart-sized liquid containers, so when I left my rig in the airport parking lot for 4 nights, I froze them. They would help keep things cold in case the battery or propane ran low.

Good evening gal.

Did the other haircut this morning. Some of my clients live on the golf course and have such gorgeous views of the ponds and fountains, and mountains in the background. I would just live on my back deck all day long!

I got Romeow's stroller today! It is really nice! I put it together and put it in the living room with some treats in it and his mouse. Later he woke up and went out there. He jumped back when he saw it but gradually started to inspect it. Took awhile for him to jump in it, but the smell of the treats were overwhelming to him. He checked it out, ate the treats and layed down in it for a few minutes before jumping out. Great start! Will just leave it there for him to get used to for awhile. A couple of photos of him in it. I took a really cute video of him checking it out and then jumping into it, but I can't transfer the video from my phone.




Here is what the whole stroller looks like... The bar at the top has 2 drink holders and a little closed compartment for keys, etc.



Haven't been too motivated today other than going thru my library books to see which ones I can return tomorrow.

Had an uneventful day today. Got my infusion and my Rheumatologist recommended I get the MonocloidalAntibody injection....EVUSHELD. He takes good care of me so I agreed. It is 2 injections, one in each buttocks. It is a pre exposure prophylaxis med for those who are immunocompromised. We shall see.

My friend and I went out to Mexican lunch and of course ate way too much ha ha hence no dinner. But we do have some leftover pecan pie that I think I will have a slice of now, before bed.

I went looking through some stuff paper stuff looking for my SS information that came awhile back couldn't find it so thought perhaps it was in with the stuff that I have collected to burn... but wasn't there so repeated it all again still couldn't find it then just glanced back back at the container and there it was just sitting there.... how I over looked it will never know... but sure wasted a lot of time looking
I did another 1/2 row on the Swedish Weave other than that I wasted a lot of the day
it doesn't take much to waste a day
we had snow don't know how much but enough nephew came over and snow blowed the drive...
there are time when can't think of much to say this is one of those times..
you all have a great day

Thanks for sharing about the stroller, Barbie.

Several years ago I looked for a stroller for one of my sweet pups, who was old and sick, but still wanted to go with my other dogs on our nightly walks - but just couldn't anymore.

I never found one like the one you have, wish I could have done. My old girl would really have appreciated it.

I'm thinking that maybe strollers like this are something fairly new.
