Did the scheduled grocery store thing yesterday, beating the hordes stocking up on bread and milk for the predicted heavy snow tonight/tomorrow. (Why do they do that? In my whole life I've never been snowbound for more than two days. And who lives on bread and milk?)
Today just vegging out, go to work this afternoon/evening. Thinking of April, warm weather, and motorcycle riding.
We're riding out the same snowstorm as Walt34- probably 5" on the ground here now and calling for nearly 2' by the time it's done. Weather report I saw shows it to be a little less in eastern WV- we're building a house in Romney, WV so guessing that this snow will pretty much stop all progress there for a while.
Before the snow started this morning, we took a foster dog that is recovering from heartworm to the vet. He was in pretty bad shape about 30 days ago but the news today is much better. He's suffering from very high blood pressure within his lungs which was causing shortness of breath and he passed out a couple of times. It's thought that this was either the result of the heartworm he had for some time or a blood clot as a complication of the treatment. The treatment for the high pressure in his lungs is sildenafil citrate which is the active ingredient of Viagra we're told- we found an online pharmacy that charged us $55 for a one month supply (2 pills per day). We were prescribed 3 Viagra pills locally in order to start his treatment and these cost over $50 at Costco, obviously the foster group wouldn't have been able to have afforded this treatment at that price. Good news is that it looks like he may only need these about 2 more weeks!
Watching the Capitals hockey game tonight, they're going for their 13th straight win.
