Morning ladies
The last 2 days ive woken up at 5:30 am no alarm needed..so thats good.
Tracy and Kyle had mini splits put in.. they are electric and im sure you have seen them.on tv they are put high on the wall .and do both heat and air.. but the electric is ghastly expensive .so they run it high at night ( why I dont know ) and then when I get there ,bundle up Miles in heavy clothes and turn the heat off.
So it gets to about 61-62
And there house was built in the 40s and not insulated well.. Tracy puts plastic on the windows in the winter time.

Good Wednesday,
Allie and Machka We have a split system in room addition and one in man cave/garage. Love them! For most of the house we are propane heat, but our house is concrete slab, so couldn't justify the expense of tearing up concrete to get heat/ac. We keep the house about 64 in the winter and 74 in the summer. It seems backwards to me to turn up heat at night....I have heard that you sleep better cooler.

Dang nab it! Just deleted rest of post! 😒

Rosemarie I hope the B&B brings you some peace. Ditto what the other ladies have said. Grief is such an individual thing and various depending on circumstances and the roll that is needed at the time. We are all here for you to listen, hug, or advise.

We drove about 4 hours last night. We have about 3 more hours to go. DH said pick a nice hotel.....I picked one not so nice but cheap. Only needed it to sleep a few hours. The first room had a king bed, but was disgusting 🫣 They graciously moved us to another but has double beds. Pet pee carpet or smoking room that was clean.....I will take residual smoke! Slept okay even if bed was a little crowded. I didn't spend $100 + on a room. So wasn't expecting the Ritz.

OMG! I seriously am trying to be patient here. I would have been on the road an hour ago, but DH isn't ready yet. Have been up 2 hours. He just doesn't function until he has used the bathroom at least twice. I would really like to be on the road in the next hour. I wonder if he will be ready-smh. This is why we didn't just leave this morning. Want to be at brother's around noon so could have left at 5, but DH would have to be up at 230 to get ready- grumble. Upside, I get to catch up with you!

So coronary cta went fine. No problems found. The only downside is my skin reacted to the heart probe patches and bandage tape at IV site. Itches badly this morning in 5 spots. I am hoping I don't react to the heart monitor adhesive. My heart rate is definitely responding to the medicine. Down to 55. Will have to keep eye on it. Not sure what next step is but followup with heart doctor is the 21st. I will surely keep you posted!

Much love complete with many hugs!

Currently in Pennsylvania

I do like having plants because our winters are so long here it is nice to have green. Yesterday I also bought a bouquet of daisies for $5.99 and split it into three bouquets to spread about the house. Between having both plants and the flowers it really helps me through the winter. I have a number of plants at son's house too! I bring in some of my annuals too that will give me some blooms over the winter. Geraniums and Lantania are two of them.

Yes plants and pets are work, but they also give back. They also do not argue and appreciate whatever care you give them. With DrewB I have met so many nice people on my walks who I would have not met otherwise. I sleep better with her at my side too.
