Glad you had a fun time, ChemGal. Always good to hear of the antics our friends and acquaintances are getting up to.

I need to get my nettie pot out. I generally find if I kick it into gear, I can get by without antibiotics. If I have to travel before I can clear it, I will nee
d to get something to make it go away faster. Not fun to fly with a sinus infection. (and it looks like I am flying in a week and a bit.

I hate using my nettie pot. HATE IT. But I find it effective. Sometimes if I use it early when I first notice the symptoms, my cold or sinus problem clears up - and if I develop a full fledged cold, the nettie pot helps me to breath and feel comfortable until the 'week or ten days' passes.
 
Neti pots are one of those things that if you use them regularly, you hate them less. Couple times a week, and it just becomes another bit of your personal maintenance routine.

My poor dog is not doing well at all. It's a long story, but due to negligence on the part of my boarder (who has Tourette's plus a whole bunch of accompanying behavioural issues), my Lucy has a very messily broken leg. Healing and bandaging are not going at all well, and if it doesn't start to come together better in 2 weeks, we'll be talking surgery. Pet insurance is beginning to look attractive.
 
Poor dog Bette. I remember as an OT student-a PT smuggled her dog into a hospital and we splinted it's broken leg. It had been kicked by a horse and vet's bandage wasn't working. The splint worked well. Hoping for quick healing Bette.
 
Oh goodness Bette - sorry to hear about your dog's misfortune & sending healing energy to it, you, and your boarder.
 
Snowy night here in Southern Ontario ... looks so pretty though. I think we will have lots of shoveling to do in the morning. I have the fire on ... a cup of Sleepytime tea ... friend left a while ago after visiting for dinner (hoping their drive home is not too stressful). Finished up a prayer shawl this evening. I'm managing to avoid watching much of the SuperBowl game. A fresh new week starts tomorrow ...
 
A fresh newer started today for me. Getting ready for school on Wednesday. Working on three projects right now. A sermon on the armor of God - a paper on slavery in the 1st century - and another on dialogue systematics.
 
So yesterday I was at a gathering where we were making vision boards. One of the gals at work hosted it. Another offered to lead it-free. That itself was interesting but as we sat around drinking wine and tearing pictures out of magazines I began to chat with a gal I only know slightly. We were talking about re-sale stores and she stated she avoids the Salvation Army ones as her brother disliked them. Then she went on to tell me that her brother is transgendered and switched to male when he was 16-and she was about 4. Her parents saw it coming. He is apparently XY but born without full male genitalia-and the advice-in those days was to raise as female. Didn't work.

So them we talked about my middle child.
All in all a worthwhile afternoon.
 
Tabitha - I feel your pain when you talk about your middle child. It must be terrible to be cut off from your child knowing that child is in the difficult position of transitioning. So much to understand and work out, yet cut off from communicating.

I saw the final score on Twitter this morning and shrugged. Never cared much for American football (or even the CFL variety). I was more interested in the Australian Open this weekend though the ending was almost irritating in its predictability (the top seeds won in both men's and women's singles and both have won the tournament multiple times before).
 
Watched the opening singing - and the coin toss. Then went to do homework. Came back a bit later to see Katy Perry wiggle her sharks.
 
Just got back from vets. My beloved hound needs a plate in her leg. Am about to have an American-type experience of the dangers of going without pet insurance. Possibly the only redeeming feature will be the extraordinary number of "points" on my credit card.
 
I'm sorry to hear about your poor puppy Bette. I hope the surgery goes well and she heals quickly.

I watch the entire Superbowl and it nearly gave me a heart attack. My bf is a Patriots fan and so I have also became a fan. I used to think it was the dumbest game ever but it meant so much to him I started watching it and once I started to understand and get the strategy I started to like it. It was a crazy game!
