So the sinus thing has morphed into a cold. You know the drill - keeping a Kleenex box at hand all day long and not venturing much out of my bed. Hoping I feel better tomorrow as I really want to go to my sewing class. Last night's COVID test was negative so there's that.

And...the sinus infection is back.

Just purchased a Kobo Clara Colour e-reader to replace my Kindle.

Thanks to @seanactual.bsky.social for the pointers. Took a few tries and hours, but I got my Kindle library downloaded, removed the DRM and converted to ePUB format. Next up is to decide on a new reader and ditch the Kindle. Thinking Kobo, but need to research

Impressing all the boys with my Book Nerd socks today.

Mitch McConnell should rot in hell for eternity. 🀞

Made it home today. I was in edge the whole way. Turbulence was almost more than I could bear. I am a nervous flyer anyway. Hopefully no more flying for a while.

Heading home today.- thank goodness! The cold and snowy Ohio weather has done its damage to me, yet again. Stuffy sinuses, rough voice, runny nose - all baggage I am taking home with me that I did not pack originally.

Oh Ohio! 10 degrees this morning. What have I done to you? [-12C]. At least the sun is out. Lots to do today.

Made it to Ohio safely. Very bumpy coming in and here it is raining and cold. Snow expected tomorrow. For now, I have my heating pad and just took 2 Tylenol PMs. Good night all.

OK we are at the Sarasota airport. It is the 'season' so it is busy as heck here on a Saturday afternoon.

I don't want to go. Getting ready for a trip to Ohio. On a positive note, my hubby is coming with me. First time in a long while. That means I can better maintain my boundaries. To recap, Mom is in a nursing home with ever worsening dementia and Dad is at home faring for himself.

Whoops forgot to post the photo. That is the day I am having. Safest option methinks is to stay put.

I got dressed and then got back in bed with my heating pad on my tummy. [IBS sucks] Sneak peek of my TBR stack behind my head. I think a nap is in short order.

Saw the physical therapist today. She put me on bed rest for the remainder of the day and to not overdo it for the week. And ice packs every hour. And Ibuprofen. Christmas tree 1, me 0.

And so on Feb 2, we have taken down the Christmas tree and interior decorations. All except this one strand on the lanai that we will leave up until the time changes again. We usually aim to get things down by Valentine's Day.

I've spent the last bit of time cleaning up my Facebook account. I deleted all of the photos except my profile pic and I followed a bunch of people and places. Then I started in on the posts and got overwhelmed. Earliest ones go back to 2008. It is going to take some time to get through this.
