 First day back to normalcy. The back was NOT happy today. I was moving at a snails pace and was feeling pretty stiff. 

Ethan’s cough doesn’t sound very good. He still has no fever. We did beef up his toolbox for combatting cold symptoms. I told him that I was going to make him a container of “safe” medicine. 

His throat is sore from post nasal drip. His head has pressure in it. Tomorrow he is laying low and resting. I am going to drug him up. He is pushing the fluids which is good.

I gave Moe his new toy today. It is a heavy duty. It is round and screws together. The middle is hallow but has a lattice type layer over the top of the toy. You can place room temperature treats made by the company OR you can freeze treats in a container that forms it to the shape of the toy. You unscrew the toy, place the treat in and screw it back together.

It’s made by a company called Woof.

The treats I made consist of Moe’s dog food and water. Boom! Freeze it. This kept him busy for a while. Because it is low calorie, he got two treats back to back and then napped for a few hours. Everyone was locked up so we don’t have any more incidents.

This evening our doorbell rang. It was a lady that was a little older than me. She let me know her husband’s car went off the road into our ditch on our land. They were going to have it towed tomorrow and asked me to ignore it until then.  No one was hurt. The roads were super nasty though. 

Earlier I had gone to pick up groceries. I had to dry slow and I was skidding when I tried to accelerate from a stop.

Avery called and shared all about her first week back. She feels good about her classes so far. She did share that her classes all require large amounts of reading. Better her than me. Yuck!
