I missed two birthdays yesterday - hangs head in shame. A Big Late Happy Birthday to
quilterbear &
dqg_neal!
Nasty weather here all day yesterday and it looks like it will continue today. The snowplows were out all night prepping the roads for rush hour and by the looks of it did a good job. Hopefully they are all home sleeping since the forecast for is 6-10 inches of the white stuff starting later today.
The Olympics kept me up a bit late but I did make progress on the sock knitting front.
Sita and Kali are not too happy with me this morning. They are getting their second dose of medicine in their food this morning. Kali just looked at it, sniffed it and haughtily walked away. Sita on the other hand ate a few bites shook her head, asked for more scratches and looked at the food with disgust. Oh well, just like last time they don’t get anything else until they eat it.
