I am finally beginning to feel a little better. Still have tummy upset and no appetite but not coughing much. Still feel rather drained. My sister in New Mexico was in the hospital for 5 days but is home now with an oxygen tank. My sister in Colorado is feeling better but not great. Wow, what an experience. Haven't been so sick ever. The New Mexico Health Dept notified my sister that she had a strain of flu. It was apparently not included in the flu shot this year. She is home now with an oxygen tank. My sister in Colorado is better but not great. What an awful experience.
I went to see Cowboy on Tuesday and we saw the dentist and they pulled another tooth. Need to slow this down or he will be toothless! I have spent a lot of time just sleeping but went to see him again on Friday and he was fine. I took the pup and we spent some time outside. Lovely weather. He really enjoys the dog. We turn her loose and she just runs and runs. It is a joy to watch.
I am having the back fence replaced this week. It is about to fall down. Between that and visiting Cowboy my week will be pretty busy.
I went over to my grandson # 2 today and his wife cut my hair. Tomorrow I hope to get my toenails spiffed up and then I may feel half human. Have a little shopping to do and then off to see Cowboy again on Tuesday.

I have been sooooo sick. But maybe I should start by catching you up.
I was just getting over a cold when my sisters came to visit. On their second day here I relapsed and had a really tortuous cough, body aches, diarrhea and lack of appetite.
Despite not feeling well we proceeded to go see Cowboy on Thursday. We took the dogs (my sister brought her Rottweiler mix to visit too). We had a good visit and the fellows at the home loved the dogs. We turned them loose for a while in the yard and they played. After lunch (with the dogs put back in the car) I played a program for the residents and we had a sing along.
On Friday we went to the Dillards warehouse and came away with a few clothing items. Pretty cool place, didn't even know about it.
On Saturday we drove to Denison, TX to see our brother and his wife. We had lunch and visited and talked about our youth. good time.
Saturday night we took my younger sister and my daughter out to celebrate their birthdays. My sister turned 68 and my daughter turned 50. We ate at SaltGrass. I had no appetite and brought most of my meal home but we had a good time.
On Sunday everybody was thoroughly sick. Both my sisters had the same symptoms I had. The visit was cut a little short and everyone headed home.
As of today my older sister is in the hospital with pneumonia and my younger sister has been put to bed by her doctor for a minimum of two days and our sister-in-law is ill with tummy problems. This must be some kind of flu but I cannot remember being this sick in years.
I am finally feeling a little better today. The sun is shining and it is beautiful out.
I am going to go see Cowboy tomorrow. He is having a tooth pulled.
My daughter finally took some time to do a little shopping and has ordered a bar and a small fridge for the game room. She is excited to get it all finished.

The workmen did not finish Friday so were here Monday. I went to see Cowboy and left grandson #4 in charge. He must have called me six times with questions but everything got done and when I got home I signed off. YEA !
Cowboy saw the dentist and he has another tooth that has to be pulled. I got another lecture about daily cleaning. I talked to the home again and so it goes....I suspect he doesn't cooperate most of the time.
My older sister arrived last night. Today we go to the airport to pick up my younger sister. Hoping for a good visit.

Friday, March 6
This has been a goofy week. I went to see Cowboy on Tuesday because the predictions were for bad weather the rest of the week. and it has been. Fourth largest snow ever in March, more snow than has been seen in years, one day with 1/4 inch ice covered by 4 inches of snow. This city just shuts down because they don't have the staff and equipment to handle the roads.
The workers couldn't get here two days this week so they are still here. We are not done. They said they would finish today. I sure hope so. I have things to do to get everything straightened up before my sisters arrive. Right now the game room is full of bedroom furniture and music room furniture.
I am supposed to play at the home next week and I can't get to anything to prepare.
Talked to Cowboy this morning. I let him know the dentist will be there on Monday to clean his teeth. He is also complaining of a toothache. The nurse gave him Tylenol. After I thought about it awhile I called them back and suggested they remove his bridge and clean it and clean his teeth. He could just have something lodged in there. Since he was just seen three months ago by the dentist a toothache seems strange.
The sun is shining, the snow is melting and it is supposed to be in the 60's this coming week. If I can get the workmen out of here today and spend some time this weekend organizing things my mood will definitely improve. I am excited about my sisters' visit.
I have been tied up with this house for so long and thought I would come home from my trip with time to explore some social activities and instead have spent the past month with things all torn up and dust everywhere, etc. At one point there were workmen in two of the bathrooms and they had the door off of the remaining one. Couldn't even go to the bathroom.
While my sisters are here we will go visit Cowboy, probably next Thursday. I decided to make my other visit this coming Monday so can be there when he sees the dentist. I will be playing for the residents on Thursday as well.
Next Saturday my sisters and I will go see our brother who lives a couple of hours away. His wife is in a wheelchair with MS and my house cannot accommodate that so we will go see him. This will be the first time we have all been in the same room since another of my sisters passed away. That was five years ago.
We got the pup back from her training last Saturday and she is doing good. It is hard to get her outside to do her business in the wet and snow but have had some luck with that and she understands and responds to some of the commands. She is still very much a "baby". I just remind myself of that saying, "Happiness is a warm puppy". I took her with me on Tuesday to the home and the guys just adore her and the staff thinks she is beautiful. She rides very well and didn't have any accidents. Her trainer told me that boxers do not make good therapy dogs because they are easily excited. Well, she seems to be doing OK with them. She loves the attention.
