    Thanks.
    It’s actually starting to feel better. I can wiggle it with little pain so thats good. It hurt like heck when my 1-1/2 yo son stomped on it though! He laughed and laughed when i was holding my foot hopping around uttering 4 letter words. :lol:

    Oh I thought it was a worse crushing...glad it wasn't. Hubby had an excavator tip over on him and managed to crush his foot under the machine...that was a very bad one. I learned a lot about crushing verses breaking on that one...it was his entire foot.

    My Dr. ,Who gun hunts schedules a flue shot clinic at 7:00a.m. every first Saturday of bow season ....lol his hunting club must have a lot of bow hunters.
    This said it occurred to me, Flue shots which never work for me but I hope every year. What is there to keep the CDC from slipping the COVID vaccine in with the yearly flue shot? Now ,now roll your eyes back down. Just throwing a thought out there in a time of lies and deceit by a government in office.

    I don't understand why it is so hard to work.

    I just had a transport driver come in to my office and quit. Had two people waiting for a return, yet came in and said he quits due to personal life stress. REALLY?!

    It will be interesting this winter. I have electric infloor heat we usually set the thermostat at 68 and then run the gas fireplace when we get up in the morning and then when we get home from work to keep the house warmer. It might be cheaper to turn the electric heat up to 72 instead of using the gas stove.

    So I went to the Dr a while back because my blood pressure was high. I thought things were going well, yesterday I got home and decided to check my BP. 154/104 not good. I got up this morning took my pill and checked my BP it was fine, decided to bring the machine to work to check it it was normal when I got to work, I checked it after I ate lunch normal. I am going to check it before I leave work and then when I get back home. Wonder if my evening commute is the cause of the high BP?

    You really should check it after relaxing for 10 mins.

    Grrrrr.... Would have swore I had the oil and filter for an oil change on the truck. Looked everywhere and could only find 4 quarts and no filter. Had to order more will be here Sunday but supposed to be raining. Would have just went to the store and got it, but last place I want to go into is Wal Mart or Autozone/Oreilly's. That's like as Covid as you can get right there :lol:

    Looks like today it will just be front brakes, spark plugs and wiper blades.

    Today sucked. On top of our fanily having COVID, we made the difficult decision that it was time to put down our dog. At 13 she was in the early stages of congestive heart failure and her hip dysplasia had gotten so bad that she was slipping and falling all the time. I didn’t want her falling down our stairs and dying that way. We just got home from dropping her off at the vet. Since we all have COVID, we had to say goodbye in the parking lot.

    Our family is a wreck; first time losing a dog for me and all three of our boys. I never had a dog growing up.

    Yeah my BP was normal all day at work, get home running in the red. It's the commute. On I 94 I drive 36 miles of construction they are making the lanes 3 wide so they have all traffic on 1 side but they have cement barriers on each side and it is narrow. It is white knuckle at times even without idiots texting and driving or lingering in the left lane.

    I quit my job in the cities because of the commute, my stress level dropped dramatically because I wasn’t dealing with all the dumbasses anymore. Best move I ever made

    Yeah well I don't have that option, not saying I won't sell the business in the future but for now I have to grind it out. Funny I leave the house 5:15 to 5:30 let to work at 6:30 so I avoid a lot of morning rush hour, no getting around it in the afternoon. When they have 3 lanes and no barriers it will be better. Heck when we get back to normal I will only make the commute in and out 1 time a week 60% of the time, flip side is I will be commuting to the airport.
