Friday

I really can't believe that it is Friday nor can I believe that we are the middle of January. Not such a bad thing when you are so looking forward to spring. My guy has been in Montreal this week will be home tomorrow evening and is right back out early Sunday afternoon. Next week he'll be in Phoenix. It's going to be crazy trying to pack in a weeks worth of not seeing him in less than 24 hours but it is what we do and if anyone can do it...my little family can.

Brittany and I have been busy this week working on projects. I have a picture but feel to lazy right now to post it...so I'll do that probably next week. I will say that I am happy with this project and am finally getting the hang of crocheting. I am loving it too. I put KLOVE on the radio in the morning...and then Limbaugh on in the afternoon...depending on what time of day that I am working on my project and I can totally entertain myself. It's so fun!

Brittany had her last eye exam on our insurance yesterday...she is getting new contacts...and when our plan renews in July...she'll update her glasses which will give her another two years at least because from then on she'll be on her own. Hopefully, we can find her at least a discount plan later on down the road to help her out.

Our lab is nearly 12 and as spry as a puppy...but she is having such problems this week with going potty so I have been researching like crazy what to do. They say pumpkin is good...tried it and it hasn't worked...oat bran too...think I'll add some to her food tomorrow. I just came back from the store and bought her a Senior food to try...it has more fiber than the other food we were using. I have been praying all day that she'll get some relief. It's hard to walk here with all the sidewalks covered in 7 plus inches of snow but I have read how good walking her would be so we had to walk in the street which isn't much better than the sidewalks here but we did it anyway and I think that really helped. I am going to walk her once more tonight...but she has felt better this afternoon and she went a tiny bit...which is better...so my fingers are crossed.

That's about it...I am feeling a bit like I live in the frozen Tundra about now. We had a pretty good snow this week...more on the way tonight and tomorrow who knows for next week. This is the part of winter that just drags on and on and on. Oh well...I guess that is what you get in the Northeast.

That's about it for now. Gotta get back to my project.
Blessings!

Oh and by the way...if you want to see what's inside the mind of my girlie girl...she made a new blog and I am sure she would love a visit...http://brittylou92.blogspot.com/

  1. Joyce,
    It sounds cold there! At least you are working on a project. That's part of what my upcoming article is about - having winter projects to work on to avoid those "winter blues".

    Today I'm working in the kitchen; hopefully getting a little ahead of the game.

    Have a great weekend my friend!

    Love and blessings,
    Debbie

  2. I can relate! It has been so cold. Today it finally warmed up. But we're expecting another storm this weekend. Sorry to hear about your dog. I'm sure you'll find something to help him. Thank God for the research we can do here on the comp.
    Have a great weekend.

  3. It must be so hard to have hubby gone all the time. I hope you can find something to help your doggy out.

  4. If your dog ever has the 'opposite' potty problem of, let's say....VERY loose bowels, try this. We just put our 8 yr. old dog on a 1 1/2 to 2 day 'white' diet. We bought a box of white minute rice, cooked it for each meal. She actually loved it. After using the whole box (it wasn't a big box) she seems to be getting better. Haven't had to clean up a mess since early yesterday morning. Yay. Good luck with yours.

  5. I'm SO glad you're enjoying your crocheting!! I just love to crochet and have been making lots of different things to sell on my Etsy shop. It's so relaxing and I just enjoy it so much. I can't wait to see some of your pictures.

    Sounds like hubby is traveling a lot - glad you handle it so well. :) Phoenix should be nice and warm for him while he's there.

    Hope you can get your doggy straightened out - there's nothing worse than having our little four-legged friends not feeling well.

    Take care and glad you're doing well!!

    God bless you - Julie
