@stevieb @skyblue @hicindy2 + all Thanks for your kind words and concern for Mr. L...he smiled when he heard what you wrote and it was the first time he smiled in two days. I took him to the doctor yesterday due to the high fever and general malaise. They gave him the flu test and he has it, so they prescribed Tamiflu, which he is taking. He just told me he is starting to feel better, so I think it's working. My sister is going to go help Mom on Sunday because I am a carrier. The doctor said I will need to wear a mask around her when I eventually go back to see her.

@VenturaHighway Miss you! I'll bet you are pretty excited about the Chiefs and the Packers being two of the four remaining teams still in it! Looking forward to watching the games on Sunday!!

@stevieb So far, so good! I'm tough! (as I knock on wood...)
Two weeks ago my sister and her family had a nephew come visit and he seemed ill and fainted at the breakfast table! Previously I had taught her to do the 'sternum rub' and he woke up right away even though the paramedics were already on their way to their house. The paramedics were okay with sister and family taking him to the urgent care, where they found out he had the flu. Sister did Lysol wipes every day and none of them got the flu, even though they were carriers, too, like me. It is scary because I read about people passing away from the flu -- young people, too! You don't want to mess around with it. Mr. L and I both wore masks in my car when I was taking him to the doctor. I drove pretty fast due to the close proximity with him in the front seat, so I told Mr. L next time he's sitting in the back seat! Driving Mr. L...

@EdithEllenLily : I’m glad Mr. L is starting to feel better. I think the Tamiflu is supposed to knock it out in 2 days... You stay well!

@EdithEllenLily AWWWW...hope Mr L is feeling better. Mr HC had to do a blood pressure check at Kaiser Hospital and we practically sprinted through there and tried not to touch anything. The new bp clinic is nice with soft lighting and music and you recline. Big change from harsh overhead lights and pokey metal chairs.

@hicindy2 Thanks! I'll tell him!!
Hospitals and doctor's offices are so scary this time of the year!! I did see an aide wiping down the door with 'solution' of some sort when we were in the waiting room. I'm sure they wiped it again after we left! Hope you and Mr. HC stay well!!

Best wishes to all! And stay safe! The snow is coming here soon and I don't handle it well at all. Much lower totals are predicted for my part of town than others but even one inch is too much for me. So today, I will partake in two of the things that keep my mind off of it...browsing handbags (and maybe getting a new one!) and watching hockey.

@Jamstan Well, enjoy the snow if you can... In my area, it seems we never get much anymore. I remember growing up and we'd get some snow almost every winter, and some years, quite a lot... In recent memory, it tends to pass us by with rare exceptions... We had a several hour snowfall last week that was pretty to watch falling but didn't even amount to much of a dusting... It apparently snowed here overnight, but all we got was that proverbial dusting and I believe it's supposed to rain (again) later... After a somewhat dry summer and fall, it appears we're making up for it with a bit too much rain... I like a good snowfall or two each year, but please, no ice and no blizzards, thank you...
