BYC Café

I do not as a few more eggs would not make up for the electricity bills.

My decision to light is not based on costs
It brightens my days and my belly to gather fresh eggs in my backyard.
The power cost is negligible anyway....a few pennies a month.

Snow event to last all night now. I am a self avowed hermit but my limit of being involuntarily 'trapped' is reaching it's limits. Silently screaming in my head.

I totally understand and might do the same if energy costs were not as high as they are here in Germany.

If I put deer suet there, Bella will end up with explosive diarrhea.

I totally forgot to facture that in.

Still too cold to get all the frozen poop unstuck from boards.
Some pop right off, the juicy ones do not.

Before we got "the big chill," I got as much of the stuck poop off the boards as I could, and the put a heavy layer of PDZ down. The "dryish" poops scoop up, no problem. If someone drops a juicy one that soaks down to the board, it usually sticks. And there it will stay for a few days; we're forecast a series of days near/around 30F.

Good morning Cafe. Coffee is ready.

Dentist appointment today.

I've got a new referral to a different pain management clinic. I want to discuss my idea of getting the spinal injection done on the S1 nerve and a trigger point injection in the piriformis to calm them down so they can stop pissing each other off. Then maybe therapeutic massage, continue strength training and stretching and I might get to the point I can stop the meds.

Good morning and thanks for the hot coffee!
That sounds like a good plan, DL, and I hope that they are willing to listen.
It is warmer here thanks to the breezes. We are supposed to get near freezing... and then more cold single digits and snow.
98F and humidity is a very hard thing to deal with, but by golly it almost sounds nice right now!
MORF refused to go to his last treatment, so now S has to try and get him in this coming week and I think I am driving. I will call him today and try to explain that refusing has put him on a LIST of elder people that are at risk because they are not taking care of themselves. He is off the steroids now so he should improve over the next few days, assuming that is the real cause of the dizziness. I'll be roping and dragging his unhappy arse to the Doc if it doesn't.

Good luck with everything - especially at the dentist.

The dentist is the least of my concerns. I'm just getting a cleaning. My butt/hip/left leg pain is a constant in my life that I would like to be rid of.

Just a cleaning, easy peasy. Nerve pain -- I get it. I live with nerve pain every day of my life - messed up vertebrae and sciatica that screams so loud some days I can barely walk. Interestingly, folks in this climate that suffer nerve pain indicate they have less pain in cold weather and have two homes, one north for summer months as the nerve pain intensifies in hot weather so they head north from May - October. I agree nerve pain intensifies in extreme heat but bone and joint pain intensify in extreme cold. I am loving this cold weather, not only a nice reprieve from the 9 months of summer here but decreased nerve pain but now the skeletal system is mad. Don't know where the sweet spot in this country would be for a nice balance of both those issues.

Woke with screaming tendinitis in the elbow, echoing in shoulder and thumb. Been here before. It's eased a bit since I got up and moving.

Luckily no new snow overnight to shovel off the path, cleared 4-6 fluffy inches out of part of the run from yesterday. Still a lot of run to clear of much deeper amounts but decided to wait until temps get a bit warmer than the current 15°.
Looks like the latest snowmageddon is over for now.
Hoping the plow guy can get here today to dig me out of this hole.
