101 this morning.  We had a high of 65° yesterday so a couple of degrees over the prediction and it should be close to that through the weekend.
Yeah I agree Barbara.  When it becomes a continuing problem it is probably time to get it looked at.  My trigger finger only happens once in a while and while it is quite painful at that time it only for a short time.  I haven't been motivated to have it looked at yet.

131 this morning. Still paying for last night's pasta...

39° was the high yesterday, the sun did peek out a bit which was nice. Today's forecast is 35°/24° maybe light snow middle of night. It is supposed to be mostly cloudy today, at least no rain or snow.

I got busy yesterday and forgot to call hand doc. Sheesh, when I get busy, I just seem to ignore the pain and do what needs to be done. Calling the dr has to be first thing on the list for Monday!! I can't get through a Winter with my hands hurting this much, best deal with them now!

105 this morning.  We had a high of 62° yesterday and it is supposed to be 57° today then in the low 60s for the rest of next week.  Not cold like you have Barbara but overnight lows around freezing and that is cold for me.
Yeah, I get sidetracked too and I have to get to the draw station and get lab work done before my appointment with my PCP Friday.  I meant to go last week and forgot so Monday I hope.

118. this snow flurry morning.

35° was high yesterday and again dry. Today's forecast is 39°/31° with on and off mix of snow flurries and rain. Looking outside now, still dark, it looks like around an inch maybe more new snow overnight. I will have to do some snow moving today. And this is just the light stuff, afraid of when lots of the really wet heavy stuff comes down!

Last night while on a chat with Amazon to try to straighten out an order, my rt eye started to itch. I gave it a gentle rub and it got blurry. During one of the "wait a minute I'll check that" I went to put some eye drops in and the white is all red! This happened recently and went away in a few days but it is worrisome to see it again so soon anyway.  It isn't so blurry this morning,  but still all red, just one more thing to worry about!...long sigh....

106 this morning. We had a high of 58° yesterday with an overnight low of 28° so a bit colder but it should be 62° today and around that for the next few days.  There is a small chance of some showers next week but too far out to be accurate.  Hope we do get some moisture and I even could snow if at early morning.
Every once in a while I will rub my eye and I will get a blur then it clears up in a minute or so and I don't worry about it. I don't have a red eye though and have never used eye drops.

This is how red it is. Ugly photo I know...
I still have a box (unexpired) of single use vials of Thera Tears left over from my cataract surgeries so I use one of them last night and this morning.

I'm going to call my eye dr tomorrow. This is worse than the last time I had a red eye a couple of months ago.

I'm going to bed, no bedtime reading tonight, just need to sleep.

130 this morning. Not surprising between eye and painful hands.

33° was the high yesterday with just a few spits of snow during the day, nothing much. Today's forecast is 38°/29° maybe a little freezing rain at 7AM otherwise just clouds for the day. Then cloudy dry days in high 30's and nights double digits for about a week. Decent respite for now.

Eye feels better this morning still very red but the itching is gone. Cold compresses along with the drops yesterday seemed to help. This too may pass, but will keep an eye on it a day or so. Will see what eye dr says today. Then there is the matter of the hands.... sigh... I'll see what eye dr says and go from there re hands for now.

Two Chewy boxes arriving today and tomorrow the Hive box (organic, earth friendly type, food/household items) comes.  Lots of unpacking, hope hands can take it.

111 this morning.  Our high yesterday was 60° and the overnight low was 31°.  It is supposed to warm up a bit and hit 65° today and be in the mid 60s for the next few days.  I have to get to the draw station for lab work this morning before my appointment with my PCP Friday so fasting this morning but that is normal for me.
Barbara I hope you are able to get over the eye problem.  It did look bad so I hope it gets better soon.  With that and your hand you are dealing with some nasty problems right now so hope it gets better soon.

Thanks Wally, I have an appointment with the eye dr in 2 hours. Thank goodness they could see me today. Now need to get the garbage together to take up the road on the way out.

Depending on how this goes, I'll call the hand dr next.

AARRRGGG! Went out to start car to go to eye dr and battery was dead. I hadn't closed the door fully last time I went out I guess. So I had to call AAA and by the time they told me he would get there I would miss my appointment. Now scheduled for 12:30 tomorrow. sigh...

131 this morning. Eye still red and sore, hands hurting, stressing over getting kitties winterized...no wonder bg up!!

35° was the high yesterday tiny periods of sun. Today's forecast is 38°/22° and cloudy. It is supposed to be dry for several days but on the cold side due to an inversion. At least it will give me some time to work on kitty shelters more.

Did a small laundry while car was running in driveway to recharge battery then drove around a little, didn't feel like going in anywhere so just came home. Sure hope it starts OK today. After kitties have eaten this morning I'm going to start it just to make sure.

Eye a tiny bit better but still sore, red, and stabby feeling. Hopefully nothing seriously wrong so I can move on to the hand dr. Once I leave eye dr, depending on what he says, I'm going to call hand dr right there from in town. If I am extremely lucky, he might be able to see me today...crossing fingers! At least I can get an appointment scheduled.

ETA 8:09 Son of a gun! It is frickin snowing out side!! So much for the weatherman's no snow forecast!!

108 this morning.  Our high yesterday was 61° and it will be maybe a degree or two warmer today but pretty much the same.  No changes in the weather for the next few days. 
Wow Barbara. When it rains it pours, or snows!  You are having a tough time right now.  Hope you can find some relief.

Yeah, just once I would like a break... it is still lightly snowing, none of the weather sites/apps show snow at all!

If I could see the hand dr today, I would consider that a break... not holding my breath!
