Liz, chances are that your friend with COPD is swollen due to the steroids that her docs likely have her on. It's a pretty standard treatment for severe COPD. My deceased sister who had COPD suffered from all of steroids' side effects, including weight gain and water retention, irritability, anxiety and mood swings. It can be a rough treatment course.

Good morning! It's so cold here, school is cancelled, due to dangerous temperatures. It's pretty much statewide. I'm tucked in my jammies still, drinking tea, watching a local talk show.

We are going to a friend's house for dinner tonight. It might be too dangerous for school, but not for socializing.

The movie The Last Show Girl was very captivating, and left me with a few questions. In the evening we watched the Martha Stewart documentary on Netflix. It was also very interesting. So a productive viewing day. : )

I love Chili! I may need to make some for the upcoming weekend.

Your comment reminded me of how I felt when I went on a fully flexible work schedule about a year before I actually retired. I worked long days on Monday to Wednesday, then short days on Thursday and Friday so I could do things with DH. On the first Friday, I stopped work at 11 then we went to lunch. We were sitting at a bar having wine and I felt like I was playing hooky LOL.

My DH likes Ancient Aliens too and The Curse of Oak Island where they are just on the brink of finding treasure but 4 years later they are still soooo close!

Greetings! Hair appointment today and it's chilly, but not as chilly as the Midwest! (Low of 19 tonight). Relentless sunshine. At least that's good for the solar panels.

Not much else going on here. More football tonight...
