MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY 2022!

 

What a year we all have had. Some good things and a whole lot of confusion.

I, for one, am glad it's almost over. Here's hoping we all have some peace and joy and a very healthy 2022. 

NOVEMBER'S WILD RIDE

WELL now that is an interesting title. 

Crazy weather and lots of doctor appointments and attempts to stay away

from people who might be sick. Boy visiting a hospital and having tests done is a scary place now days. Sitting in an ER is pure terror for me, and I stay far away as possible unless it is a real Emergency. This whole journey started back in September and as usual it gets passed to one Dr and then another. They all have their specialties. 

So all of November mostly I spent going to one office and then another. Seeing that there were few patients in the waiting room each visit. Living in a COVID world they schedule things like that now here. I am grateful, but do not know how they clean those small little exam rooms after each patient. YES INDEED.. I carried my own stuff with me and never took the mask off. I will be doing that until this nightmare is over, if it ever is. 

Thinking that I was so scared to get the FLU and now this is so much worse than that. 

ANYWAY... things have gotten so slowly done because of shortages in staff and the  places being overwhelmed. Michigan, where I live, is really high on the list now for Covid in all the hospitals but people are acting like there is NO COVID and nothing is going on. Boggles my mind. How in the world they can just go on and it's worse than in the beginning. Our governor is not being strict like in the beginning so we all are on our own to fend for ourselves. She did call in the national guard to help in the hospitals though.  Well enough of this.

Here we have had very little snow so far this month. I am still seeing green grass and its strange for November in Michigan. OH I dread the rest of the winter, as it might get a lot worse for us. The family has had a lot of illnesses so far and so our holidays are going to be so different. We are not exchanging  gifts so that takes the burden off of us all. The kids in the family are getting gifts so that's all that really counts. As for me, my gift to myself was a set of three stainless steel tumblers that are great,  and a new  much needed microwave. His hoping you all have a great  healthy holiday season. 

SEPTEMBER/ OCTOBER

                                                

FINALLY able to get back here again. New laptop and had to redo a lot of passwords.

Lots taking place here. Health has taken a real ride lately. Lots of Dr. appts and testing going on. I just wish what one Dr. orders the others would be aware of. I do know I ask them all to send info on..I gave permissions. So lots of things now days are taking a back seat. I sure hate it but they do. I am so far behind on things. I guess they will settle down some time.

Our fall has been wonderful. We have had rain and cool temps and the leaves are just now beginning to color here. Some years in OCT. we have had frost and snow. I am happy not this year. So many are talking about the very cold winter we are in for. Several have told me that the wooly worm this year is solid black. They predict winter conditions pretty good so.. I'll be waiting to see what happens. 

HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A WONDERFUL HALLOWEEN!
