Errands in the bigger town today probably sometime after lunch. Little granddaughter wants to go to the bath and body shop for some special day promotion about Stranger Things, don't know what that's about, but will find out. Then on to Atwoods for a truck bed load of feed. Also looking for a new incubator and a new shovel.
 
I'm sitting on my butt longer than usual, too, enjoying coffee. Waiting for the Aleve to sink in. Watching the pup bump into everything with the stupid cone on his head. Finished husband's morning infusion. Only two more days of it, then I can get some sleep. It'll be four weeks this time. Knowing me, I'll still keep waking up at infusion time since it's now a habit.
 
Rainy day here. Listening to some gentle jazz. Going to bake some bread and make some easy side dishes for the freezer/week ahead. Will be working 6 days this coming week. Possibly seven if it gets crazy.

Bear could scoop up dirt in his cone and toss it at me! I was SO glad when that thing was off!!
 
I've been way too busy! Mostly getting things ready for DH when I'm gone to IL. Had the stock up day Wednesday, don't remember what Thursday and doc appts. on Friday as well as work at cafe.

dress up and retake our vows across an altar.
Happy anniversary to you both and to @LadyLocust , also!
Finished husband's morning infusion.
First place we went yesterday was to hospital lab to turn in sputum sample for DH. Last time he went on IV antibiotics, it was 8 months in between times. This time it has only been 4 months. When I get home, he has a doc appt. scheduled so we can get him started again, hopefully. I have a friend who is an rn and paramedic (my friend in the military). She will pop in and check on him a few times. I'm a little hesitant to go, but he says I need a break from him. LOL

Couldn't sleep last night so will walk later after walking dogs.
Will finish my sheep ornaments today. Right now they are on the dresser upside down to let glue dry and they look like a flock of sheep that died toes up. Hah. I will post a photo later.
Otherwise making dinner and taking it a little easy.
Last night a friend told me that putting Vick's on my ribs would help a lot and it sure did!
See you all later!
 
Going to finish putting the heat shield up behind the wood stove in the fur shed. Then I need to climb on the roof, clean the chimney and put the brace on the stove pipe. Since there's no snow on the roof I probably won't fall off this time. Next project is to work on the roof over the deck on the main chicken coop. And tomorrow will be a run to the dump.
 
Just put the brisket in the electric smoker. This thing uses a lot of electric. I'd much rather use the new smoke house, but it's so dry I don't feel safe starting a fire in it until we get some moisture. I made a simple dry rub for the brisket of salt, pepper, smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder and brown sugar. I put a tray of beer and blackberry pulp under the meat.
 
Husband gets that way and it makes me sad. Sometimes it's the steriods talking, sometimes not. Hang in there. What antibiotic this time? He's doing a new to him one this time: Ceftazidime. Used to be the M one and zosin would work. Using the tobramycine in the neb, but I think it's spazzing his lung.
We just turned the sputum sample in yesterday. I hope they can figure it out by the time I get back from IL.
