So DH is home for a week after his hernia surgery. He is sore but doing well. I have a head cold that just won't go away... but am ok.
Got my new c clamp pliers and fixed some cages. Previous owners made larger holes for j feeders. So I patched the extra holes. And put in a divider. Bunnies are doing great in the coop,
Broke down and put in the water heaters today. Winter is on its way. Has been pretty mild so far.

Sorry you're under the weather. Lots of us dealing with that lately. Guess it's just that time of year. Glad the hubs is doing OK. I'm sure he's anxious to get back on his feet.

Recovery time for both of you! It sucks when both of you feel bad, hope you kick that cold and feel better soon. Glad your DH surgery went well.

DH went back to work Wednesday, light duty for a month. He's doing well. I ended up on antibiotics... took Jocelyn in for a check up and her pediatrician prescribed them after insisting on an exam... was feeling better but think I need to fill the 2nd week. She said I might as I had walking pneumonia.
We got Christmas shopping done. Need to get baking and making goodies for our family that are hard to buy for. Going to make some jerky too. Got the kids a trampoline... :)
Been window shopping for a pony,horse for the kids.... just not sure. Of course we need that barn..... can't wait to get back on the trails again. Lately I can't seem to handle being in the cold for very long.... my hands just ache. Makes me dream of moving further south....

I had a horrible time of it last winter with walking pneumonia that held on November thru March. I had 3 rounds of antibiotics and two of prednisone. Finally Doc gave me albuterol inhaler. All the folks around me was sick or sicker than me. I knew some to be on 5 or 6 rounds of antibiotics. That really messes up the gut. Started probiotics.

This spring and summer I used Nasacort allergy spray each day, and have continued with little problems yet this season. A couple puffs of albuterol when needed, and 12 hour Mucinex DM at bedtime has kept me feeling well so far.

As for the hands, better use some gloves and get some instant hand warmer packs, or move South, Haha
