Appointments on Ice & Hand Goop!

I pretty much have a standing once a week appointment. Today, I was not sure if I was well enough to make it, but I did drag myself in there. He knew that we had all been sick, and so had his family. Oh, what joy...sharing germs! So, I shared with him about the hand sanitizer we use.

It might seem odd sharing about it since we have been sick, but it has actually been awhile since we have been this sick. Dave has managed to dodge most of the stuff going around. We use it on shopping carts and after shaking hands, especially in places like church. We noticed that it really seemed to make a difference once we started using it.

We all feel as if we are on the upswing, but we are very tired and still feeling very drained. Because of the road conditions, Dave insisted on taking me to my appointment. I drive so seldom that he was concerned about me.

When we got back home, we could not make it up our driveway. He is now trying to get the van turned around, but it is not in a good place for turning around. I love the winter, but this is the part that is hard. And salt won't melt ice if the temps drop below 20 degrees F, which it will do tonight. Which reminds me...we had better leave the water dripping! It is no fun to have a frozen water hose.

Well, I am just updating quickly here, then I am off to lay down again...after I see if he got the van turned around. If he cannot turn it, I don't know how he will get to work tomorrow.
