I'm tired of cooking/preparing 3 meals a day. It's just the two of us but boy oh boy can that woman eat!! She stays slimish, I get fattish. It's bad enough I do everything here much less start making her one thing and me the other. At times I feel guilty when I buy her fast food cuz of the nutritional value....not to mention I eat it too.
Barb - no fun but meds should clear it up. I have something, scratchy but no redness and use a boric acid eye wash which works. Glad your foot is better.
Just spitting rain here a bit but not enough to cover the driveway or to improve air quality. We need much more. Apparently this year is the worst for forest fires in terms of area burnt since 1981.
Barb, sorry about the eye. Did the doctor start you on meds?
When I worked for the elementary school, the front office staff was Health Clinic back up 2 days a week. Surprisingly I never got sick from any of the little ones.
Wash hands.
Change pillowcases.
Hot clean washcloth, use once on eyes, then sterilize.
Wash hands.
Do not touch face or eyes.
Barb, you know this, it's for others who may not know.
I've turned off the furnace fans as they have "fresh" air intake. Smoke these days!
Your nephew is learning about life in Alberta!
HUGS to all of you.
I understand , some of us are always waiting for the other shoe to drop.
