Silly Cold Saturday

 We have really had a mild winter this year until a couple of weeks ago — it got cold and messy and we even had two snow days at the schools.  I don’t care for cold weather so I was really glad everybody was in and didn’t have to drive all over in the mess.  From the weather reports we are expecting a similar situation next week.  I am not impressed.

Poor Trixie started limping yesterday and I couldn’t figure out why.  She has been licking her foot non-stop since which she does sometimes when her allergies are acting up but she has been taking her Claritin regularly so I didn’t think that is what it was.  Last night I got her down and rubbed some Vaseline on her toe beans figuring it wouldn’t hurt her if she licked it but maybe it would help.  She went to bed and went right to sleep so I guess it helped but this morning she was at it again.  So, I got her on the couch and took a good look at her foot and I figured out what happened.  When she was at the groomer a couple of days ago they shaved between her toe beans and I could see where they shaved her foot they got a little close and it is raw.  So, tonight we will do more Vaseline — at least she isn’t limping now.

I have done nothing all day but shower, shampoo and sit on youtube watching how to make Gelli prints — it is completely fascinating to me —-I can see how it would be useful in my cardmaking.  But….I haven’t accomplished one thing of any importance.  I think I was just cozy sitting here in my recliner with my iPad on my lap because it is really cold outside and again, I don’t like the cold.

So, I guess tonight we are watching football — I might read.  I haven’t finished one book this new year but that is ok, I was planning on going slow on my reading and the book I am reading right now is really good and I want to take my time and enjoy it.  It is the second in the series.

There are a group of us from elementary school that have stayed in touch over the years.  Two of the girls (ha, who am I kidding, we aren’t girls!) are very close and one of them has a son who has received a very unfortunate diagnosis.  Of course, his mother is very upset and so is our other friend — I totally understand, because it is so hard to see our babies have to go through things — yes, not babies but they are forever to us.  So, I was looking for something to try to bring some comfort and I thought about my favorite Bible verse.  I shared it with one of the women and I think it helped, at least gave her something to think about.  So, I will share it here —

Have a wonderful Saturday night!
