[My] Life in Wisconsin

Varmints. Infusions. And Cheerios


    Punk- Bothered by the wind last week-


Good Morning All
Please vote today? Even if you think it won't matter, do it anyway. It's way too important not to. Personally I am happy that it is finally sinking into peoples heads that their votes can change the world in which we live. Your vote DOES count, no matter what you believe right now.
Undecided? Take the image of Casey to the polls with you, and vote according to your conscience. Know that a Republican vote has the potential to kill many people that wear her shoes, and fight her fight against a chronic, debilitating disease.

Lots going on today for us- Casey has another infusion, and I have a bit more shopping to do while I am in town- Happy I do not have to vote today. Those lines- around here anyway, promise to be long...


With November comes the advent of snow- Wish it were not so, but there is always the possibility of it- and lots of it. Of course no one knows how each season will differ from the last, but many are getting ready. I have seen many plows attached to trucks already, and many sights like this at area shops-

Ready for "s".
I still have to get mine out.

Casey brought me in yesterday for my darn head. My head feels better, but I still feel nasty- Could not fall back to sleep, worried that I would not wake in time to bring her in for that infusion. hehehe Talk about a vicious cycle.

These guys seem to cycle too-


Got him!
A little mole thinking he might have liked some of that peanut butter.

These varmints are not in the house-
Thanks to an ever vigilant Sputnik, and Punk too. (Well, she tries). hehehe

In Spring and In Fall I always catch a bunch out in the attached garage. And every now and then, Sput does get one on the inside.
And it all has to do with the weather-


As does this... from last weeks windstorm.


Oops...

The weathermen have told us that the mb's pressure from that storm was comparable to a Category 3 hurricane. Happy I am that I do not live down south, my headache had begun with that drop in pressure...

Punk would go outside, and within seconds was completely bothered by the fact that she could smell something, and not be able to figure out which way it was coming from. She would walk across the yard with her head swinging back and forth- Casey said she looked like she was at a tennis match! hehehe

Punk would gather up her toys, in whatever room she was, and just wait.


Punk toys

And wait...

Punk sponge bob
Yes. Sponge-Bob now has a tail. Had to sew him up twice already. hehehe
So finally I just combined the two toys- Punk watches my every stitch...


Sputty?


Sputty Don't care
He could care less ~as long as he gets fed.



After all that wind, Punk now chooses my old jacket to grab and go lie on.

She has also taken to lying under my little table... Cute



Sputty still doesn't care
Sputty- Cleaning up after dinner. hehehe



Casey had moved her infusion from Tues to Thurs last week because of that wind.

Nick taking Casey's blood pressure- 105/58


Casey- Cheerios on her nose


I brought along some Cheerios for her to munch on.
She was still hungry so I ran to Tony Roma's to get her a sandwich!



Casey- Sirloin sandwich
I think she liked it! (I got the Claussen)! Mmmmm


I'd better close if I am to get in the shower before I leave- Perhaps even to turn the heat on before I do that...  It's about 30° outside as I type, and about 64
° inside.

My love to all.

XOXO
Me

  3. I want that sandwich ! lol hold the fries . That must be hard on land locked people . I have sat through some hurricanes growing up in Corpus Christi Texas . The worst though was the heat after. a dead zone of no wind , kind of sounds like what you had with the winds mixed in . Once in 1970 we watched a large auto-body-paint shop blow inside a clear tornado like newspapers in an updraft . I didn't even believe my mom when she said it looked like a tornado . It was clear without the usual dust and dirt that colors them and that sheet metal looked more like newspapers lol Luckily it stayed in one place and dropped the bulk of the building just around the corner from it's original location . And it fell in the middle of a street not on a house .an hour or 2 later we were in the storm that lasted into the evening . And then when you needed your electricity the most it was out for weeks lol . Glad you guys made it through ok . Good looking dog you got there .My dogs favorite toy is a pig that grunts when he shakes it , but it's the second one since he tore the butt out of the first one . lol

  4. I 2nd that about having that sandwich....that looks yummy! Just wish she was sitting at Tony Roma's eating it not attached to an IV. One of those necessary evils...unfortunately.
    We got a little rain this afternoon..mostly very light rain. Just what we need another change of weather. I think Bruce has pneumonia...he said on the way to the airport this afternoon that his right lung hurt. I had gotten him a Drs appt and he refused to go..so I told him sorry I could feel for him..he had his chance.
    Drew as well I think has relapsed...he woke up this afternoon gasping for breath. He sees his Dr tomorrow.
    Glad we haven't had too much wind..but there is a front headed down this way..so we may get some yet. Bruce says its cold in SC tonight. The hotel had the AC on..he was having to turn the heat on..lol
    I like the weather we've been having ...ya'll can keep that cold stuff up that way a bit longer..please...lol
    Hope its a while longer before you have to start doing any shoveling. Just thinking about cold weather makes me shiver.
    Ya'll have a great week..stay warm!
