Perhaps it’s the Mistletoe

 

          I have had a cough since mid October though I don’t know why.  It isn’t bronchial or viral I don’t think.  I wonder if it is an allergy cough.

          Here in Oregon we have trees which produce parasites or mistletoe.  I am allergic to mistletoe and have wondered if that is what has been creating my cough.

I have never had a hairball lodged in my throat but the feeling is something caught between the hyoid bone and thyroid cartilage.

          As I have looked into possibilities and researched  the throat names and positions I have also wondered if the cough may be caused by a drug prescription that I have been taking for just a few months.  I will have to ask the doctor at my next appointment.

My Two Shoes

 

          Ever since we put the rocks in the yard, Bonnie has climbed the hill to do her thing – which is nice – at least to a degree.  The winter months have been so cold and wet that Bonnie has not wanted to be on the hill – or even outside for that matter.  She does her thing on the rocks – next to the doors, next to the gate.  Blech!!

          Eight hours after I had dressed I went outside to clean up after her.  When I got inside I removed my shoes as I could sense debris and mud on the bottom.  It wasn’t until then that I noticed I had been wearing two different shoes – a green one and a gray one.  I don't even know where the mate to the gray shoe is. 

Boy, am I observant!

Thick Wet Fog

 all up and down I5

I never thought about how much 

moisture is brought through the 

fog but that seems to be what 

is making our porch wet

Angels Are Crying

 So the weather has been bleak overall.  Today it has been raining - enough to remind me of the floods that happened at the start of last year. . . .

Just now I decided that it is the angels crying over this nation and what a disgrace we've become.  I didn't vote for Trump!  Not a once.  I am certain that he cheated all three times he's run.  I can't prove it.

I hope all my readers know this.  I hope others know that I do not stand for anything he does - like with Venezuala or renaming Panama or trying to con those in Greenland to become a part of us.  Why in the hell would they want to be a part of us?  I don't want to be a part of us.  I am ashamed of our government - or those who do support him and continue to keep him in office.  How many times does one need to be impeached before he is removed from office?  He's already started a civil war and is dragging other nations into it.  I hope they take their outrage on him and not the civilians who didn't even vote for him.

Worse Snowstorm

 Richard and I were watching documentaries of the worst snow in the nation - starting with the snowmageddon  in 1978 Ohio  followed by snowmageddons in Chicago.  Oh, my!

I was in junior high with a different perspective than I have right now.  I did KNOW about the snow that seemed to shut down the north east part of our nation but hadn't known the details.  

I was corresponding with a penpal from Germany.  The snow had delayed up our correspondence.

The Fog Has Swallowed Our Neighbors' Houses!

 We took down the decorations down on Tuesday instead of holding out for the new year.  Good thing.  Yesterday was rainy.  Today there is fog.  This is the thickest I've seen it since we came to Oregon .

(I have seen it worse than this when I lived in Utah)
