Snowfall

The snowfall as of mid-day is not as severe as they had forecast, though the wind is right up there . . . huffing and puffing.

It has been a balanced day.  A bit of the tidy, tidy always is a good thing.  I did venture to the studio until noon.  Dennis now has had day 2 of his antibiotics with a snack.  When I read online about this particular med it did state it might be the third day when the effects will begin showing.  Generally it is given for a five day period.  Seeing as how this is dosage for 14 days, gives me an indication as to what the ole cowboy is facing.  Dennis can be so thankful that he is not in the hospital and that our family doctor believes in my ability to take care of Dennis.  Checking twice a day and there is no temperature . . . that’s a good thing.

Changing out the bandage on the foot went well this afternoon.  Hopefully tomorrow we get wonderful news from the wound doctor.  The steri strips have held the incision nice and tight for better bonding.  We do so hope.  As we need to be at the hospital at 7:45, Dennis said we would be leaving home at 6:30 to be prepared for what the road conditions offer.  I agree.  We will be taking the little red pickup as Dennis is accustomed as to how it handles on the roads.

During all this cold weather, neighbor Jan texted me, commenting that they have had a lot of boxelder bugs to vacuum up.   Where do they hide to survive?  When we lived in South Branch, we had a hall window facing east that put forth black flies when the sun shone.  The buzzing could get very loud.  At least boxelders bugs are quiet.

Our supper this evening is going to be sautéed onions with leftover boiled potatoes made into American fries.  To make it a schmorgisborg, I will add several scrambled eggs.  What’s not to enjoy.

Today we got the handicap hangers for our vehicles.  I had fought the idea initially, but last week in the bitter cold when we got to the hospital in Mankato, I was thankful for that slip of temporary paper taped to the dashboard.
