Freezing weather with no snow

I'm not sure how tired everyone is with the snow and the cold, but I can't wait for spring to get here. We have been having cold freezes,, no snow, rain, then it warms up and then freezes again. This whole week we have freezing temps in the morning. Yesterday, I went in for my epidural and there was ice on the windshield and very cold. Thank goodness they give you warm blankets when they bring you to the back. The epidural went well and only mild pain when injections started. He did this one on my C5 and C6, so the bulging disk will feel better. I am avoiding surgery by having these epidurals and I am really afraid to have surgery on my neck.

My storage room is finished and already filled with things I need to store until my expansion of my craft room. I am so excited about that, because it will begin when we get our income tax refunds. Al can't do all the work at one time, so each payday, he will use his overtime pay to buy more material. I think that will make me want to craft more than I am doing right now. I am currently sewing some curtains for the kitchen in the apt. in the country. I won't be moving back when I thought I would. I am waiting until they rent out both the house and the apt to move, so I can help with the bills. The house is just about finished and my parents would be so happy living in it, but I am sure they are looking down from Heaven and seeing the wonderful job we did updating everything. It doesn't look like the same house anymore. We have 2 potential clients that are interested and one is very interested in it, but he needs the garage and we have to keep that for all our maintenance supplies to keep the house up, plus the lawnmower and other things that most renters don't have.
Well guess I have bored you all to sleep, but I am feeling so great I had to tell you all. I hope you are all fine in blogland and getting through the snow storms. Love and hugs, Pat

We are finishing up the little house that Mom and Dad lived in.. Got to get it rented out and not sitting there empty. My sweet husband is putting tile in the shower today..

Glad that the shots are helping with the back.. I too am trying to stay away from surgery...... Mine is L4 L5 and S1....way done the end of my spine..... I had the cortisone shots a couple of years ago.... Thinking about having them again......

Think spring ! It is on its way and I think every one is tired of being in and ready for the sunshine...

Denise, it's going to be hard renting out the house and I know I am going to cry. I just wish they would sell it and let us get on with our lives. Memories are in my heart not in a house that is turning into a money pit. My house is older than theirs and only our siding needs some work, which Al started yesterday. I have 13 disks in all that are damaged and we only have 33. The first one if the most painful, especially when I get the shots, but then I can sit for longer periods after the shots. Thank you for stopping by. Hugs, Pat
