That damn groundhog saw his shadow! 'HE' did 'say' he was 139 years old.....I think he's senile and wanted to go back to bed! Someone get a younger groundhog and BRING HIM OUT IN THE SHADE!!! I still think it's the camera lights causing this phenom....
With that off my chest, how was your January? Your first start of 2026? It has sucked donkey balls in Indiana. We've been hit with a foot of snow the last two weeks and bitter cold temps. This month's not looking so great either. I wasn't that productive either; holing up in front of the computer and catching up on past seasons of Survivor.

Health: Foot wound has healed! Was in a bit of pain after the early Jan appointment, and had to up my pain meds. Called Dr. S and begged him to prescribe something stronger, which he did, but the pain finally settled down and haven't had to take one yet. Went back to the dr last week (Jan 27th) and leg wounds are continuing to shrink!
Van Update: Due to the foot of snow we received, van is currently residing in the car port with a foot of snow on it. Plans are to investigate further once the weather warms up. Which at this point, could be late March. Fortunately, Mom and I coordinated and I can order her supplies from Walmart and Amazon. But we still need our hair cut!
