Good Afternoon, FS Warriors! It's a beautiful sunny day here, howbeit it is only 30 degrees, but I'll take it! The news says we got between 4 and 8 inches of snow this weekend; I think we got more like 3. I am not complaining, mind you. Got some tree trimming done Sunday after church. I had some pretty big limbs that were causing casualties on the garbage truck when it backed up my alley to dump the dumpster. Maybe they had their mind on something besides garbage, and didn't see it coming. Haha! Well, nobody got hurt really, but the owner of the refuse company called me and asked if I could possibly do something about the low hanging limbs. Yeah, I don't want to get those guys mad at me; it might get kind of stinky around there. There were some pretty big limbs, but I was able to take care of them with one of those pole saws. Dragging them through the snow to the burn pile was quite an exercise in itself. I thought about harnessing up the Lab, and letting him pull the stuff, but he would have just layed down in the snow and gone to sleep. Not enough of a job to get the tractor out. So, it was just little ole me.

I did think about getting on the treadmill Saturday, but after a few pieces of pizza and a cold beer, I managed to talk myself out of it. Maybe tomorrow. I am seriously considering trying to exercise in the evenings this time instead of getting up at 3:00 AM. I really wasn't getting enough sleep; I only get 6 hours now, as it is, so 4 1/2 to 5 just isn't enough. I'm going to try and limit myself to working out for an hour or less, instead of 1 1/2 to 2 hours; I think I wore myself down a little too much, and caught every virus all my friends and family were willing to share.

One of the granddaughters has got that MRSA staff infection. She has to go in to the hospital and get 2 hour anitbiotic IV treatments every 8 to 12 hours for 20 treatments. I guess that is some bad stuff. Supposedly she is not infectious now - I don't know how that works. I don't know how she got it either; nobody we know has it. Anyway, keep her in your prayers; that' not something I would wish on anyone.

Went and visited wtih Mack's future companion Saturday. She's getting really feisty. She'll make a good dog, and probably run a few pounds off his lazy butt. I'm going to have to hang a Wide Load sign on him if this keeps up. On second thought, I think I have the same problem. :D I've got a Village Board meeing tonight, so I won't get a lot done this evening either. Maybe tomorrow. Been saying that a lot lately. I think I'm going to have to do better about this time management thing. Oh well, maybe tomorrow. Anyway, I hope all my FS Buddies have a wonderful week. The weather is looking better and better here. Daylight savings time next weekend, so more daylight again. Toodles!

MRSA is spread by contact, usually with the nose, like hand to nose. It gets in through open cuts or sores. It is not airborne.

Oh goodness, best wishes for your granddaughter...

Nasty stuff. Hard to treat but treatable. In my thoughts for continued recovery. Next weekend is daylight savings time? Yippee.

Are you keeping that tele in good shape for me, DK?

Hope you enjoy the extra sun as much as I am, it's been a long cold winter. Have a fabulous week!

NM, that tele is being treated with kid's gloves. Goes right back in that case just as soon as I'm done playing. It's kind of like one of the motorcycles, it's got such a nice finish on it, you want to wax it and admire it. I beat on my Epiphone Hummingbird Pro most of the time at home. I keep the Gibson J30 over at the church. I'm too lazy to carry the guitars back and forth. The Peavey Backstage Plus amp is only 30 watts, but at home I can hardly turn it up at all for fear of blasting out the windows. Nicholaix, that makes sense, she had an open sore on her chin we were always ragging on her about picking it.

Prayers for your granddaughter. Love the snow and the chill but now I am ready for spring and summer. Feel like I have been holed up long enough. We haven't even had the snow others have had.

DK. You should go and check out a Fender Blues Jr amp. I have a 30w. It's a tube setup and really reasonable. Simple and you'd never have to buy cream again. I'll bet you can't walk out of the store without one.

DK, your granddaughter needs to have her own towel in the bathroom. When one person is ill and everyone uses the same towel the germs are spread. Hope she gets well very soon.

Praying for your granddaughter! I've been hospitalized 4 times with cellulitis in my left leg and GoodMan is just getting over a serious staff infection after having a melanoma removed from his knee...these infections are serious business! Sounds like you're using wisdom in not compromising your health by losing sleep for exercise. It's just so hard to fit everything in our days. Your limb trimming and removal should have provided lots of exercise. :)

She will be fine. My mom had MRSA (I think it lies dormant) when she had both of her colon surgeries. She healed up just fine.
