Rainy weather makes me sleepy. Mom's Dexcom sensor snagged on her clothes and pulled loose-- clothes got under the plastic part and yanked the needle out and it bent so it wouldn't go back in and it was only in for 2 days before that happened. I've asked her to try to be more careful. She only has one dexcom sensor left and the supply place won't be mailing out new sensors until March 4.

I've been trying to figure out what I need to put an AAV in under my kitchen sink since having a proper vent doesn't seem feasible-- unless I could figure out how to do an island vent but that might get in the way of the water supply lines. Can't put stuff in that exterior wall. The floor under the sink is destroyed so at least I have more wiggle room for putting a new pipe down. I know I need a sanitary tee, some pipe, a better P-trap with a trap adapter, a combo wye and a cleanout. Maybe some unions just in case. Need to make sure that whatever cleanout plug I get works with whatever I use at the end of the wye. And I need to doublecheck to find out what size pipe it is under the house. Could be 1.5" but could also go up to 2". With all the rain there are too many big puddles to climb under and look-- although I suppose I could try to look through the hole in the floor but my fat behind might fall through. LOL.

Kitties have been unhappy with the weather and have been fighting. Gravy Jones has decided that Rupert is his prison girlfriend and keeps going after him so I have to keep them separated. Rupert came running to me earlier while Gravy was calling to him. Rupert has been sleeping curled up with me. Princess is helping to guard him right now.

Got some groceries so brother should be able to make some beef soup soon.

Husband's done that with sensors, and they are expensive. Now I put a sensor protector on it, goes on like a large bandaid, called adhesive patches or adhesive covers. The company will probably send you a free sensor if you call them and ask. They will if it's just rarely.
 
Going into the bigger town after lunch and after chores for shopping, probably Walmart and Aldi. It's already 29 degrees and going to 60!!! So excited about that. Funny how I get excited about nice weather at the end of Winter.
 
Today is a cigar day. Meeting a good friend at the cigat bar where we will smoke a few, probably watch the golf tournament, and solve all the problems of the world. Bacpacker, I will be thinking of you, Bro. Hope they have good cigars in Heaven.
