During our last wind storm, a stick blew into the nest and cracked an egg, so now there are only 2 eggs. It's always upsetting when that happens - for the Liberty and Guardian, they just trust.
The almond tree is looking beautiful. My Husband would take photos and text them to me while I was sick.
I wasn't able to spend much time with Ed and Harry - my husband pretty much doing it all. They were always waiting for him at the front door and then following him around.
Updates
I'm feeling about 44% better. The rest of me is slightly nauseous at times - still in a brain fog and coughing but not like before. I'm not sleeping all the time like I was. I'm taking the rest of the week off from all group activities. At least I am seeing improvement.
The husband has been coughing - and sneezing since yesterday.
Navy and his wife are on their way back - in fact, they should be home anytime now.
I noticed that the Google sign-in is different. I checked it out and apparently, they have been rolling out the new look over the last couple of months with all of it now done as of March 4. It's really not that big of a change. I only noticed because the print seemed bigger.
Another change that is coming. I heard that Dollar Tree is raising their prices AGAIN. They will be all over the place in prices. Seems they are having an identity crisis and want to be more like Dollar General. They are installing price scanners in the store.
It's been raining a lot - what more can I say about that? Snow in the mountains = more water for California.
Good News -
The husband did our taxes and we are getting back $151 from the State of California and $841 from the Feds. We're pleased.
Thanks for all the Birthday wishes.
As soon as I publish this, I will probably remember something else, only to forget it again. I am wrestling with a bad mood - As for my birthday, I'm over it. I'm thinking, that maybe this was a glimpse of what the next decade is going to look like. (okay I'm wrestling with negative thinking, too) I get this way when I have been sick for longer than a couple of days, I tend to go through a mini depression.
Lastly, today would have been my sister's 60th birthday. Her name was Donna. I miss her terribly even though in our adult years, we grew apart thanks to our mother's meddling. We were just finding our way back to each other, when she dropped dead, unexpectedly at the age of 56. She would have never liked being 60 or even Older. Most of her friends were Nina's friends. She had no old friends that were her age or older. I always felt "less than" when around her because I was getting older and she refused.
She Loved life her way - she loved the men - and the men loved her. She was married four times and I believe this one would have made it.
I had always wished we would grow old together and it was a great disappointment when she passed. Because of her age denial, she refused to get medical attention - she followed a lot of remedies.
I always knew she was a drinker. Every time we talked on the phone, she was drunk. She took our mother's suicide very hard and every anniversary, she would call me, drunk and crying, and big sister had to make everything okay. It was after she passed that we learned she died of cirrhosis of the liver. Her daughter said, she believed she knew something was wrong and just wanted to forget about it. She tended to live in a fantasy world.
Oh, how I wish things could have been different.
Now I am the only one left from my birth family.
Donna, I miss you and I loved you. Why?
