We had 2 days of snow and I was over it. I'm sorry to all those still dealing with snow. I really don't enjoy it at all, even for the one time a year we get it, I can't imagine having snow for months.
I'm good with the snow! Its good for grape vines and my dog loves it, though cleaning her paws gets a touch tiresome. Looks like its going to warm tomorrow so some slush will come.
Admissoon: I have been sleeping with a giant pack of gummy worms in my bed for the past week or so.
See, and I’m over here mad at the warm weather we’re having! I’ve ALWAYS wanted to have a “true” winter, but the coldest it gets here during the day (in winter) is in the 50-60 range. It was 81 today! In February?!!?
Normally I love living in a place that has a nice balance of seasons, and I’m pretty good about enjoying each in its turn... but this pandemic winter is killing me. Turns out this time of year is a lot less fun when you can’t go anywhere outside due to the cold, and you can’t go anywhere inside due to virus concerns, so you just get to spend months alone in your house! Tomorrow it’s going to get into the mid-60s here and I’m literally going to take the afternoon off work to make the most of it.
Also sick of the winter. It takes 15 hours to get the kids bundled up to be outside for 2 and a half minutes. It's supposed to be almost 60 degrees here today though, so everything will be wet and squishy for a while. But warm!!
@BourbonBiscuits I think you are maybe looking at October? The November board just went up this morning, it's still not showing up in mobile but I can see it online. So we are even older now!
ETA: I forgot a bunch of words, I was so excited. Sentences now make sense.
@doodlemom131 I hope you can get a good system in place/have help for the drops. My girl gsd has a skin condition on her nose and if we don’t keep up on the Bag Balm on her nose it will split and bleed horribly. She hates having it put on her nose but will now submit/lay down and just whine and squirm until I’m done.
@doodlemom131 - Trying to give a dog eye ointment is no easy task! Our dog was allergic to something around our old apartment and she needed eye drops until we moved. It usually took me and my husband to get the ointment in. I'm so glad we don't have to do that anymore.
I am also sick of winter. It's supposed to get into the 50s next week! But it's supposed to snow this weekend. I hate it so much, I've been over winter since like January.
Also sick of winter! We celebrated my son's and my birthday on Wednesday and announced with a picture on Facebook. It's of DS on his new balance bike with a sign that said, "Today I'm 2, but my best gift is due August 2021!"
May spring come to all of us soon! So I lucked into a vax appointment three days ago for today and got my first shot! Moderna. It was fine. Arm is feeling a little heavy but feeling very lucky I was able to get one. DW also got the shot this week because her cancer hospital opened up appts and she happened to be online when the notification came in and was able to make an appointment right away. I'm feeling so much better about hospital birth knowing the two of us will be fully vaxxed by then! If only DD1 could get it... Hoping DD2 gets some antibodies from me.

Got my second shot on Thursday and yesterday was pretty rough! Nothing unbearable but definitely felt sick, slept most of the day, had to take plenty of Tylenol to keep the fever down etc. Feeling pretty much back to normal now though!
Just found out my dad had a biopsy on her thyroid that has come back as "suspected cancer" They are driving 8 hrs to Vancouver this weekend to see a specialist on Monday. I'm low key freaking out, but really hoping they caught it early enough and it hasn't spread. On the up side I'll be able to see my parents for the first time since August, I just wish it was under better circumstances. 😭😭😭
@surrenderdorothy Canada just approved the Astra Zenica one, so that's going to be huge for us.
Fun fact, our public health officer in Nova Scotia just announced we have had zero cases of the regular flu this year, and very few colds reported. It's incredible what happens when people wear masks and stay home when sick!
Very sorry to hear that @grogu. Thyroid cancer can be one of the 'better' cancers to get because it is often slow growing. I hope that it is NOT cancer, but if it, there are lots of options and I hope you get positive news. Feel free to HMU if you need to talk about it, it's very overwhelming to deal with.

Thank you all for your kind words. I'm feeling better about everything today. Yesterday I just felt blindsided, plus I was already feeling crappy from almost fainting.
@claireloSC thank you, I know it's generally treatable 🤞🏻.I'm just hoping it hasn't spread into his lymph nodes if it is cancer because he's been complaining to his doctors for years about his symptoms and his new doctor finally took it seriously. I may message you tomorrow after he sees the specialist
Keep us posted, we're hoping for positive news. ETA: My wife's cancer, although breast cancer not thyroid, was in her lymphs and she's two years cancer free now. Just for a positive anecdote.

Re: Randoms- 2/22
Also, related to this week's GTKY I ate almost an entire bag of sour patch kids today and I think I have a chemical burn on my tongue.

I'm just waiting to see when the shot will be available to someone like me (sahm).
