What's everybody doing today?

[Amish Heart]

Day starting out rough already...kids running late for school...eating breakfast on the couch (their granny yelling at them), just got them kicked out the door at 6:50. Husband says the circuit flipped on his coffee maker, fixing that, making coffee, husband overduing insulin, grabbing orange juice. Phew. I am having my first cup of coffee now. Glad I'm off work till tomorrow.

I'm getting ready to check on my internet stuff. Throat and head feeling as if a cold may be trying to catch me. I'm taking medicines to help kill it quickly. I don't have time for a cold. Then probably some little doll dress sewing later today. I must go out in the cold and do some mail box and bank stuff.

Sounds like you need it!!
The hubs doing a routine procedure at his hospital today. Hopefully he will get done quickly then we can go back home.

I am working on my blog this morning, while I wait for hubby to get back with some kerosene. Our drains are frozen (gray water) and we can't use the bath tub. Yikes! We all need a shower after a few days of this. I am not saying a word, but I know he used insulation around those pipes in the fall rather than sacrifice a bale of hay, which does a much better job. He will put the kerosene heater on in the cellar and it should free up the ice in the pipe. It has happened before but not pleasant. Yesterday he had to empty the gray water container by dipping it out with a bucket and carrying it through the snow out to the woods. We are at -10 so far, but the sun is out and panels are clear, so the day may get better. Right now I just want to sit near the stove and write.

My washer leaked from some frozen water in the drain yesterday. I thought I waited long enough to thaw, but no. Glad it wasn't worse!

Today, I am setting up new filing system for personal and eBay stuff. Have a few calls to make and then rest.

Hi guys, been busy around my place with guests the last week, they are leaving tomorrow. Got a lot of work building up.

 

[The Innkeeper]

Snowblowing and shovelling the path to the picnic table and fire pit out in the back as we have B&B guests arriving today. Catching up on bookkeeping.

 

[Swing]

Understand the work building up. I hope all the guests were good and not staying more than you wanted them too.

Be careful with the meds they may make you sick. Hubby fought off this crap going around with apple juice, orange juice, chicken noodle soup and hard work. It turned into pnemonia so he rested more. He coughed alot! I tried to get him to go to doctor, no way. He did use his inhaler thing for his COPD. Get well soon Boss.

We were dragging out generater hooking it up to save GH and then power comes back on after we got everything hooked back up,.

I put on 5 layers of clothing and plus throw blanket. It was 80F last week. No climitizing here. Tonight in low 20s, Monday will be 71 ..

by far the majority of our guests have been an absolute delight. From May- early October it is a zoo around here with one day off a week to do shopping etc and when schedule permits to get to church. The rest of the year it is much slower because the tourist trade dies off. Most of the other B&B s close for the winter but we stay open and pick up a few guests and supplement our income, we live here year round anyway.

It is beautiful there so I can understand the tourist draw.

Your hubs must be doing what I'm getting ready to do. The heel spur is called Haglunds deformity and the other is plantar fasciitis. I'm to the point of barely walking. I don't think I've ever had anything so painful. I'm planning on having my surgery in the next week or 2 if I can get on the schedule. Let me know how your guy does.

We had guests from 15 countries last year and we were only open from Late July on.

Was it a 7.3 coming from the filter bowl?

I had the same thing happen to me quite a few years ago. It was $169 to fix it and was a lousy, 10" rubber return line. I was not happy.

 

[Amish Heart]

Terri...you're husband is going to be off that foot for awhile. Not fun for him (or you)

 

[phideaux]

My doc told me 4 weeks min and maybe longer depending on how much damage has been done. A nurse is the worst patient is what I've always heard. It's just hard to slow down long enough to get repaired when one is busy taking care of others.

 

[Tacitus]

Went to the hardware store for a couple specific items. Took the opportunity to buy some miscellaneous prep items:

• 5 gallon food grade buckets
• gamma lids (expensive!)
• duct tape

 

[Amish Heart]

Went Sam's shopping with husband. Pretty much the only shopping he does with me lately because they have good ride 'em carts. Stocked up on lots. They were clearing out their Auguson Farm 2 weeks for 1 person food bucket for half price, so I bought one. ($49).

There are State jails and other builds that need a maintenance man. Commercial buildings and factories need someone to do maintenance. A Junior Engineer is basically a handyman on a ship. Your experience and skills have a wide crossover for many jobs.

I took my skill set, which was pretty much a handyman, went to a one month burner school, and opened a heating system maintenance business.

Edit: I don't know how this happened but this posted on two separate pages and the quote only posted on the other. This is several pages back so I can't remember the post I quoted or exactly where it is.

I got home last night just in time for dinner. I've been on the road for five weeks with random internet access. The last leg of the journey was just over a day on the boat followed by two days of driving. Climbing out of Haines it got dark early and with no lights except my headlights it was much like being in warp drive with the headlights reflecting off the falling snow. It made me want to watch "Star Wars" again.

I outran the snow but it caught up to me today but it can sit on the driveway till tomorrow as I plan to practice my vegetable imitation for the rest of the day.

 

[timmie]
