Hands are pretty much healed, and the cold has gravitated down into my chest.

But there is lots of room there for it to roll around, and i got my voice back.

I am going to bed early tonight, due to exhaustion. |-)zzzz

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks...I did take zinc like you suggested. I’m not feeling bad, just tired. It’s been a long time since I was completely zonked like last week.

[radu]

LOL! Sounds like y’all are more than ready for Sunday!

[DeoVindiceSicSemperTyrannis]

G’night! :-) Sleep Well!

[DeoVindiceSicSemperTyrannis]

Let’s hope it’s a long long long time before it ever happens again either....... :-)

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Pro...all your snow gone?

We have a slim possibility of getting a dusting. I’ll believe it when I see it.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Sand...((HUGS))...did snow ever reach your house? Has Charlie gotten to play in snow yet?

[Kathy in Alaska]

LOL! The big day is almost here...then recovery begins. d:o)

[ConorMacNessa]

Almost ready - I need a new pair of shoes. Can't walk my daughter up the aisle in the decrepit pair of soft shoes I wear to work everyday. I think one of my sons made off with my Bostonians.

Good evening, Maestro!

An excellent choice - I have not heard that one in many a moon!

[radu]

When out shopping for those new shoes, get yourself something comfy to lounge around in Sunday. Sounds like you won’t feel like doing much but kicking back. :-)

Exciting times right now, though. Everything appear to be “All systems go”? Or do last-minute items keep popping up?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, radu...we just had a quick meeting. Payroll is moving to the Mall by the end of the month. None of us are pleased. I hate the mall, and it is not safe as far as I am concerned, and there are people everywhere. And the offices are around a skating rink. And parking is horrid.

We will be on the 4th floor, badge entry only. Great, 4 flights of stairs to walk down in an emergency. *sigh*

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, Mac, for the Missing Man Setting as we remember those who have given their all that we may gather safe and secure.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good night and sleep tight, ML. ((HUGS))

[ConorMacNessa]

Fortunately, it appears we will not have any big snow between now and then. We're under flood warning now from the snow-melt and rain we've had over the last day or so. We were up over 60 yesterday and in the high 50's today - one of the fastest melt-offs I've ever seen.

[radu]

Howdy, Kathy.

So they’re going through with the move, huh? Drat! It doesn’t seem like a good thing at all. I hope they’re working on something with the security folks regarding walking y’all to your vehicles after dark.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Never again would be nice. d:o) I am always able to function somewhat, but not this time. Thankfully the worst was over in 48 hours.
