We're not used to this Weather -
it's been a long time since we have had a normal/healthy rainy season. It reminds me of when I was a kid and my dad was a contractor - when he was home, due to Rain - he was cranky. When my dad's company was unable to work, that meant no money coming in.
Poor Laydee - she would prefer to be outside. Even though she is a lab, who loves to swim and loves the snow - she doesn't like the rain and the wind. In between sunbursts, we hurry up and take her for a walk.
Yesterday I finally got my flu shot that I kept putting off or forgetting.
I got the last dose.

We really are in good shape after these storms. (More is on the way) I try not (doesn't mean I never battle with that) to be scared or frightened - it does me no good and it won't change anything. Some things are just out of our control. All we can do is prepare the best way we can.
Like Wildfire scares me - and heavy winds the most. At least I don't have to think about that for a few more months. Even then, we just learn to live with it and do what we can do.
God, grant me the Serenity
To accept the things I cannot change...
Courage to change the things I can,
And Wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time,
Enjoying one moment at a time,
Accepting hardship as the pathway to peace.
Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is,
Not as I would have it.
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His will.
That I may be reasonably happy in this life,
And supremely happy with Him forever in the next.
I talked Foodie into seeing the Doctor if he doesn't get better in 3 weeks. That would be a total of 6 weeks. He did say he sees a little improvement - he can at least breathe now without extreme pain. If he sneezes or coughs, it still hurts.
If he breaks that promise, I will whip out my Mommy card - He can be stubborn. Then again, I have been known to be stubborn a few times in my life.
One good thing - gas is back to its normal price in town - we're at 3.46 - That's normal for us. So if the weather wasn't so bad, we'd take a drive but we have no business out driving in all of this. That's what gets your picture on the news!
That's about it - just staying home and doing what I can here. My husband loves his new recliner chair. It's so big and takes up a lot of space.
Talk later -
