Hello Monday

[wsantia1]

Good morning everyone. It looks like we are back in winter mode here with the current temp at 29 degrees but a feels like temp at 19 due to the wind. At least it is sunny and the temp will climb up to 45 degrees this afternoon.

I have a doctor's appointment (foot) this afternoon so until noon I will just putz around in the fishroom. My plan of combining fish did not work out as well as I hoped so I have a couple of beat up angels that need nursing. They are not in real bad shape so it's nothing that melafix can't fix.

Have a great day everybody.

Good afternoon, friends.

Ron, it's good that you like the boy friend.  I'm sure your daughter and her are breathing a sigh of relief as well.  As far as the pain, I have no idea how it happened.  I just enjoyed it while I could.  It was just wonderful.  Alas, as expected I'm back to having my normal pain today.  I keep wondering if I should see a pain doctor but if I did I'd have to give up 2 of my important vices.

Willie, I keep thinking that Delaware should be warmer than it is.  I think of it as being almost in the south.  I guess I'm just plain wrong.

I packed up a couple pairs of Rams today and sent them off.  I went to the feed store for Charlotte the horse.  I also got a shedding rake.  She's shedding her winter coat like nobody's business.  It feels good to her when I brush her and get that dead stuff off.  Rather than picking up all the the hair I brush off I leave a lot of it for the birds to build nests with.

I'm back from the foot doctor. He gave me a couple of shots of steroids in the foot, a couple of special shoe inserts and some exercises to do and then I go back and get more shots in two weeks.

He seemed like a very knowledgeable doctor and was referred to my by my primary care doctor who I like a lot. I'm sup[posed to ease into wearing the inserts. No more that 2 hours a day for the first week.

Liz I've been in Delaware for 7 years now and this is the coldest winter yet. We basically have the same weather as Washington D.C.

Hi Everybody!  Willie, good to hear your foot problem is getting fixed. I bet the shots in the foot hurt way more than the Covid shots?  I have had more chills today, but that may be because it is a cool day, can't tell. 

Ron we hope to see a pic or two of your tanks when set up?  You do such a good job with the plants.  Good news on the daughter's beau, maybe your future SIL ?

Liz, good idea to save the horse hair for birds, they will love it.  Hope your pain goes away again.  It is cool here after a few days of warm.  But not as cold as Willie is having.  Our area really needs rain, all that excess from a month ago is long gone.  I have had to water a lot of plants outside.

Barb you are right about the foot shot hurting more that the Covid shot. I also had two shots and the needle was much longer too. The good news is that today my foot did not hurt when I got out of bed for the first time in a month. The bad news is that I have to go back and get another shot in two weeks.
