Tag: a chilly toad..
thank you.Daughter is sick with something nasty,I sure dont want it-thanks.Makes no sense to me.She's going to work,and spread it around.She always fills in for other people,but says theres no one to cover for her. Mathematically thats impossible.Her boss should promptly send her home if she had a brain.And she works in a nursing care facility.I've told her over & over to stay home,she also went to walmart last nite- I told her to mark the cart-so I dont use that one.Dont know how many times sick people have to be told to stay home and take yourself out of the bustle of the human race for a few days,to recoup, and not spread your germs even farther.well, I have to be at her place this morning to get Landon ready for school,so I will wear gloves and a mask, and bring my Lysol.I'll also use the extra gas, and take him home to avoid her coming here after work, and bringing those nasties into my environment,at least till she starts sounding better.I'm not paranoid,but it seems to me some people dont have much regard to making others sick.Our weather keeps going back and forth,warm to cold, 50*-30* ,most of my yard stuff is picked up now,but still have a little more to go.I picked the last of the carrots.Since my wall was torn out behind the kitchen stove to install the chimney,I lost my shelves that I put the everyday essentials on.I couldnt take it anymore, so I put up Radiant Barrier,and at least Jim will put 2 shelves back up for me today.Now my stuff wont fall down the hole,and I'm keeping up with the silver wall decor thats quite prominent around here,and just in time for the holidays.All I have to do now is add some red bows,and it'll look quite festive.I figure we're at least a year or two from gutting this kitchen- it depends on buying a new sink & the one counter top.The stove in the cellar is doing well, and keeping us warm,we dont have to turn on the pellet stove upstairs yet.Jims building the coal bin now, and almost finished,just the front to do today.Landon will be more than happy to help him with that.As long as he's in a halfway decent mood, we can forego the nap today,as he hasn't had much time with Pappa the last few months.The other day I looked out the window to see this blob of a thing crawling in the driveway. If you could picture a tarantula and how it walks,lifting its legs, I could swear thats what it was,but of course we dont have them here,silly me. I went outside with the camera, and it was a huge toad,making its way to the mud.We put him over by the gardens out back near the water and mud, and away from the tractor tires.It sure was a funny site- as he was very cold and barely able to walk,he sure wasnt hopping.I think he should be hibernating by now..? I have no idea what toads do at the end of the season...

greenputterer	Nov 3, 2009 \| 2:03 AM PST We hear you. Having worked in several nursing facilities and hospitals, somehow we always managed if somebody was sick. If you call in sick, they have to let you off. WE are all dispensible, one of the facts of life. One of my grown sons had H1n1 thing last week and they told him to stay home and stay put. One grandson had a stomach flu, he was vomiting every day for a week. There are nasty bugs out there, but taking them to a nursing facility is not considerate of the very weak people who have to live there. Thanks for sharing, we hear you.
Rascalsmama	Nov 3, 2009 \| 3:48 AM PST There's too many nasty buggs out there.My 24 yr. old grand daughter caught MSRA working at the mall. Someone either was a carrier or had it & spread it to Ashley.I'm parranoid now using shopping carts. Use wipes each time.Some of the casheirs at walmarts use gloves now. I tell each one about Ashley. It's scary out there,folks.Blessings, Diane
witt	Nov 3, 2009 \| 4:32 AM PST I sure hope that you don't get sick. You're too valuable around your place. Take care and take Lysol.
carolyncat353	Nov 3, 2009 \| 4:40 AM PST Your daughter definitely should stay home-and what about Landon? He'll probably get sick, too. My neighbors 14 year old nephew died last week of H1N1 (it was confirmed)-being sick is scarier thn ever.
birdlover46	Nov 3, 2009 \| 3:38 PM PST I surely hope your daughter gets well and that her son does not get the bug too. I hope too that you escape.....Ditto on staying home........you can wash your hands endlessly but if someone comes to work sick.....UGH. Had that Monday.....gal comes in and says "Been throwing up all night!" I thought girl.......GO HOME.....she showed me a picture of her daughter in her Halloween outfit on her cell phone.......I promptly SCRUBBED MY HANDS! Not too considerate of others if you ask me. Pray all of us stay WELL! Birdie <
