We are headed home tomorrow for Thanksgiving. I have my internet off at home since we are not there. Wanted to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving!!! Be safe!

Time for an update:

Andy, thank God is getting better each day. Including his allergy medication he was taking seven different things. He is now down to three. That horrible cough is still here but getting better than what it was.

I am over my sinus infection finally.

Since we have been in this hotel room we have gotten a new fridge with a separate freezer compartment, a table and two chairs, (did not have one in here) a new monitor heater/ac. The microwave groans once in a while so I am guessing it is going soon too. I was told at the office they are face lifting this place starting this month. I have not seen anything going on yet. This over haul is suppose to take two years total. Please don't get my wrong. It sounds like this place is a dump but it really isn't. It is unusual for someone to come and stay in the same room for a long time. Normally when the room is vacant everything is turned off. 

I hope I don't jinx my hubby by writing this. He is the only one that has stayed well since we have been here.

We are planning to go home for a couple days around Thanksgiving to take our summer clothes back home and restock for winter. I have been buying things here and there to keep warm so far. Our coldest morning was 12 degrees a couple days ago.

What an ordeal! As I said on my last post my birthday was on the 8th of November. I turned another decade. That 60 mark is close to retirement age and social security and then medicare. I think that is why it bothers me so much. You really are considered a senior citizen. Now with all that said let me tell you about my day:

I got up as usual in this hotel room and got the coffee brewing and the hubbies lunch made and finally got him out the door for work. Next it was the cocker-spaniel's turn. I fed him and gave him his allergy pill as usual. An hour later my day changed drastically. My Andy threw up all day long and then developed a cough.  Of course we don't have a vet here since we are just staying for work so it was off to the animal hospital. (My hubby walked in the door from work seeing me clean up yet another mess). I got on the phone and found an animal hospital about a half an hour away. Now since the time has changed it was pitch black out. My GPS on my phone didn't tell us about all the construction so we had a lot of turn arounds but we finally made it there. When the vet checked him over she asked us if he had been around any other animals. Of course! Where we are staying they had a huge dog show down the road this past weekend. A lot of the people stayed at the hotel where we are with all their animals. I am talking from Mastiff's to little ones. Anyway, by the time we came out of there Andy was given a shot for the nausea thank goodness and 4 scripts. Yesterday we had to go back over there again and get a cough suppressant because the cough was getting worse. He is slowly mending. My husband had planned for us to go out to a nice dinner for my birthday but by the time we got back to the room it was past 9pm. He had to get up at 4:30am the next morning and get to work again. Neither one of us had eaten anything but were very tired so we just went to bed. ( earlier in the day before all this happened I had treated myself to a breakfast for my birthday from Friendly's next door. I didn't get but a quarter of it down before all this started. Needless to say it ended up in the trash.) I don't think I will be forgetting this birthday too soon. Do you?

Well here I am celebrating my 60th birthday in this hotel room. Hubby of course is off working. I usually don't see him for 12 hours at a time once he leaves the room to go to work in the mornings. I have a sick dog today. But one of the house keepers here brought me a birthday card and a baggie with cookies in it. I was totally shocked on that one.

I can't believe I have turned another decade. One of my sisters texted me and told me "you are just getting that much closer for social security" Oh my!

Out of seven of us kids there is only one now that isn't in the 60's.
Forgive my ramblings.
