No, it was on my right side. Dr said probably a hair folical .
all of my email contacts must be busy. pretty quiet on the websites..

the wind knocked the top off of one of my pine trees.
It landed on the pick up truck. No damage..

Glad you got that leg taken care of. Hope it heals up soon.
Got the trim all on the window! A lot harder than it looks.

Yeah, I had a protractor and drew diagrams. Hubby said he didn't know you had to be Einstein to frame a window!

Had my Covid test today at CVS. They make you swab your own nose. Costs $139 without insurance. Doctor refused to see me for this sinus infection without the test.

I had the covid test done in Sept for my hip replacement. There is no way I could poke that
swab that far up my nose.
still in the low 30F's here this morning.
When it warms up, I am going out and tune up
the carburetor on Ollie. I will use a temporary
rpm guage .. It is digital like the one I use on
my chain saw..
going to put fresh gas in the chain saw.
Dan wants to cut up some of the trees that
blew down last week. also have some low hanging black walnut branches to cut down.
they are in the way for mowing with the
new lawn mower. It is taller than the old one.
then if the ground is not frozen he will
rototill up a 4'x4' area for the garlic cloves.
if it is too frozen, then we will just build up a
mound and top it off with compost.
Had a good PT yesterday. got the ok to lift and carry things such as a 40 pound bag of compost or bags of groceries. I didn't tell Annie this yet..

So she can yell at you when she catches you moving something lol
Is handy to get out of carrying groceries

Well my test was negative naturally. Called for an appointment, but they just gave the message to the nurse. She never called me back. I think they are trying to get rid of me.
Seems like everything takes twice as long these days. Still not done fixing up that coop.
Hubby wants the house spic and span for company. I want to run away from home.

glad you have a neg ..
tell hubby that you don't want any company.
don't run away from home, who will finish the coop ?
I am getting so used to not having people around that I don't even want to talk on the telephone any more..
a long time associate called yesterday. He has 4 roosters and 4 old hens to give away. I told him that I would take them, but that I will immediately butcher all of them. He was
OK with that. He said that he couldn't do it..
He feeds strictly organic feed.
I intend to spend a lot of time outside today.. Really going to be warm again.
