I am suffering with Shingles, on the left side of my head and neck, in my hair, and oh! my! goodness!!! I am miserable.  It has been a week and a half and I feel like it has been going on FOREVER!!  Worse than I could have ever imagined.  Then last Friday morning, February 13, yep, Friday the 13th, I was up about 3 a.m. sick to my stomach, dry heaves.  Around 5 a.m. I was at it again.  Was leaving the bathroom to get back in bed and blacked completely out.  Hit the hardwood floor face first.  Was knocked out cold for who knows how many minutes.  I fractured a lot of bones in my face and I am still so discolored and swollen that I would be scary to little kids.  Numerous aches and pains in the ribs, hand, etc from the fall.  I am worn out with the fragility and frailty of this body.

February 6, 2026

I feel as if I have literally felt sick in some way for months on end and I guess in the big scheme of things, I have been.  I finally got some meds for an ongoing sinus infection, so hopefully, I will begin to feel like I am joining the land of the living in a few days. 

February 2, 2026. 1 Degree this Morning. Six More Weeks of Winter

I am worn out with our country/world right now, the ignorance, willful blindness, the choice to be uneducated, the choice to be so cruel and rejoice in it.  I am having a congestive heart failure flare.  I need a break from all of it.  This little picture I borrowed from someone's blog brings me a moment of inner joy and peace.  I will take that for a minute.

Oh, and it seems Punx Phil saw his shadow and is forecasting 6 more weeks of winter.

Our forecast seems to agree with that.
