Have I mentioned it has been COLD here lately. 16 degrees when we woke up this morning..... which has been later and later this vacation.... we made it all the way to 7:15 today. This is BIG for me! So I finally went to the dr for my eye on Dec 30. She prescribed some penicillin for the 'stye' (you can tell dr. barbara does not think it is a stye since I have had it for 2.5 months). There was a two hour wait for the meds so I left to go back another day which happened to be yesterday, Jan 2. So I get to the counter and they say there is no prescription for you. Hmm I say since I waited 25 minutes in line a couple of days ago to make sure they had it and were processing. Oh wait they say, your dr. stopped it from going through. Hmm I say, why would that be. We don't know they say, you should go up and talk to your dr. (have I mentioned that the drs is about 25 minutes down the highway from my house - not far but really not a hop skip and a jump either). So I go up to talk to the dr and of course she isn't there (it is Sat after all and only one dr works on Sat and it isn't mine this particular week). So I ask the nice lady at the counter... could it be because she gave me an H1N1 shot that she doesn't want me to take the penicillin now? hmmm don't know she says but I will give her your note. Ok... well gee whiz here I went ALL THIS WAY for nothing.... so hmm How about I go a little further and pick up a couple of warm sweatery things for Petey. So I go to the pet store for wee bitty dogs (read expensive boutique) and pick up one that I think Wood will like and one that I like. You get to judge which you like best and I bet it will be easy for you to tell which is my favorite.
Oh, notice the lake is down again - not due to lack of rain but because the army corps of engineers is releasing so much water every day. I guess it is a winter sort of thing. So we went exploring a bit and see the tree branch in the water?
It decorated for Christmas with icicles and hmm small baggy things that I will consider unmentionables for my blog but YOU KNOW what they are ;-)
And icicles in the sand again. Aren't they cool? Now don't be persuaded by the fact that Wood calls the blue sweater Petey's girly man snowflake outfit. You know you like it best? Right?
By the way- about the sweaters - it has been so cold Petey has been shivering and we haven't really been taking him on walks because it has been sooo cold for his 12 lb body (or so I am using for an excuse). Yesterday we were taking down Christmas stuff and Wood was cleaning out the garage and storing our Christmas stuff. We loaded up the tree in the back of the truck along with some other stuff to take to the dump. Wood usually leaves the truck door open when he does this (don't ask me why). Well I am working in the house and come out after about 20 minutes and can't find Petey. Silly woman, why of course I should know right where he is.... in the truck and not going to move an inch because there is the very real possibility that we will be going to the dump and he WILL NOT be left behind. Problem is it is so cold that the poor little guy is just shivering and shaking all over, but still will not get out of the truck. So this time we put on the red warm apparel and closed the doors and one of the windows and turned on the heater for the two minutes it took for Wood and me to finish up and then off for our joy ride to the dump, with a slightly less shivering and very happy Petester.
