139.6, same.

OMG, what day! Started out with taking DH to Urgent Care for the second day in a row and is ending at the Emergency Vet Hospital with the little white dog. The only thing that happened in between the 2 was a haircut for me!

DH got prescribed steroids which should help with his cough. He seems to be feeling much better compared to this morning when he could hardly breathe.

Bella Boo was whining last night, didn't eat much or drink today, didn't move from the couch, very lethargic and wobbly. Blood pressure was very low (60 systolic). Labs and urine normal. She was given an IV to increase BP. Chest xray showed enlarged heart and she has a heart murmur. BP now normal so we can bring her home.

I only got in about 600 calories today. Too tired to think about getting in more.

Laundry, like house cleaning and dishwashing is a task that is never completed! Even when you are folding the last item there are already other dirty clothes, sheets, towels, etc. being created. Sigh.

Greetings all

Sun is out and life is good. No snow here though there might be some up in the mountains. I picked up payroll and took it to the studio and did some stuff there. Everything is moving right along. I did the gym walking after all that other study and concluded it is not a good idea. For whatever reason I was pretty tired. DH got the dogs out for a walk so that is good.

Remainder of the pot pie will be dinner tonight. We watched the Golden Globes last night and had not heard of a lot of the stuff. Nice to have an iPad so you can look up stuff. The series "Baby Reindeer" won some awards so we decided to watch it. It is very weird and is the true story of a stalker. We also watched the rest of The Tourist series 2. Series one was better.

Well Ann, are you out and about in the Great White South? Good to hear that the city is managing well.

DD sounds like you have your hands full at school. People who don't have the ability to plan time drive me nuts. I guess it is one of the things that high school is trying to teach to kids. Some get it and some never do. Sometimes I think it is inborn. Hope the semester comes to a smooth close.

Cold cabanas Liz! That is totally unacceptable. Enjoy your down time without guests.

Peps that sounds like a pretty brutal drive. The TT pictures looked great! Rest up.

I actually got most of the laundry organized this morning as it had reached crisis levels. Several baskets of clean stuff waiting to be folded and in danger of getting mixed with the dirty stuff. Disaster averted. Now if only I could do the same with my desk. I did get some files made up and checklists started for the gallery new year. Baby steps.

So the meaning of the elevator sign remains a mystery. Maybe I will post it on FB and see what happens.

I can't do those LONG drives anymore (nor do I love long plane rides but driving is more difficult for me).

I'm feelingMonday kind of tired. Thursday and Friday, we were playing around. Two weeks left of the semester, and now it's getting real. Me, begging students on my caseload who are not passing classes: TURN IN YOUR WORK!!! Please! You're going to have to go to summer school. They assure me they've got it covered... Ummm.... It's crazy when I care more than they do. And I guess also not so crazy, because the mind of a 14 year old isn't always adept and cause and effect. Gotta love em, but they wear me out.

Cold and more cold, but we have seen the sun 3 days in a row, which did not happen at all in December.

DD left this morning. Her connecting flight looks like a go, so the storms didn't delay her like we thought it might. I'll see her again in May when we head to Boston to celebrate her graduation ceremony.

Tonight meeting up with BFF and one of our high school friends. DH will also join us.

Weight continues steady. I am happy.

Happy New Year!

Quick post.... 215.7 (after 5 days of dog show and travel, I'm down with that! Whoo hooo...)

Dog show was somewhat disappointing, even though we did eventually have a good enough day.

9 plus hour drive home from Palm Springs yesterday, and a short night make for a tired me this morning. Luckily, teaching is auto pilot stuff today!

More later.....

I was thinking the same thing- I used to know the movies and actors getting awards but no more.
