It’s time

It’s time for me to pick a new doctor that takes hubby’s insurance. The doctor we’ve been seeing for years doesn’t take Aetna and it’s getting way too expensive to continue going to him.

I need to get my thyroid medication because I haven’t taken it in quite awhile and now I’m always cold and beginning to put on some weight. I could take some conjugated linoleic acid to burn off the fat but I don’t really want to do that yet. I want to get my meds and get where I need to be and see what happens with the weight after that.

I also need to get meds for my osteoporosis. I don’t want to end up breaking a bone or something. I just want to feel healthy again.. which I don’t feel right now.

Speaking of being prepared…

If this winter is anything like last winter people might want to find stores that have honda generators for sale just in case. Last winter we had lots of snow and really cold temperatures and the electric would go out.

We were in our camper last winter and luckily the camper has a battery backup for the lights. Anything plugged into the outlets didn’t work, like the TV and computer, but at least there was light. We would also lite the burners on the stove to heat the camper, which wasn’t too bad.

It would have been nice to have a generator last year. I just hope we won’t need one this year.

Still not 100%

I got sick just over a week ago and I’m still not quite 100%. I’m slowly getting stronger but I still feel a little weak and tired. I get a headache every day and feel like I have a low-grade fever. Some days I just want to grab a laptop and chill on the couch but I don’t have one.

I can’t tell if the seasonal allergies are starting or I have a little bit of a cold. My nose gets stuffy and I sneeze and my throat feels a little scratchy at times.

Ehh… I think I’ll live.

Not the time of year for that

The other day I drove past a house and they were having a yard sale. The temperatures have only been in the 20′s and 30′s here. There weren’t very many people there and they had a lot of stuff out. I could see something that looked like a cigar store Indian too.

I don’t know why they didn’t wait until spring or a really warm day to hold a yard sale. I know I wouldn’t want to tramp through several inches of snow in someone’s yard to buy some over-priced items.

Cold winter

Winter has gotten started with a bang! We had over 12 inches of snow just before Christmas so we had a white Christmas. Hubby worked plowing snow for 34 hours. Our heater quit but we have 2 space heaters and a burner going on the stove. It keeps it nice and toasty inside this camper.

In the bedroom we have an electric blanket (pad under the mattress) to help keep us warm while we sleep.

Hopefully we’ll get more snow and then with hubby plowing we’ll have money to get a place to move to. Now all I need to do is find a job and hope that Andi finds a job soon too and we’ll be good to go.

It’s getting cold!

Well… not really all that cold, but it’s time to start thinking about getting out the cold weather clothing. I already have my sweatshirts out and my heavier jeans. I’ve been thinking about getting a pair of UGG Australia boots. I see a lot of people wearing them and they tell me that they keep their feet nice and warm.

I have a feeling this winter is going to be a long and cold one. We’re due for one. If that’s going to be the case then I need to find some kind of weather stripping to keep the cold air from coming in around the sliding glass door which is right next to my desk. I really don’t feel like wearing gloves while I’m at the computer!
