It's May!

Hello May! I'm so happy to see you and hoping that you bring along some nice weather and that winter is finally behind us. April was an iffy month so I hope you do better May! So far the month is starting off with sunshine and it's a bit warmer than it's been the last few days. When I took the dogs out this morning we sat outside for a little while but it wasn't quite warm enough to stay out for very long. In fact, they were anxious to get back inside for their treats. They know a treat awaits once they do their morning business. I don't have anything planned for today. My daughter got a diagnosis of bronchitis and a sinus infection when she went to the doctor yesterday. I'm sure with her treatment of antibiotics, etc she'll be better in a few days but today she really looks sick. I feel so bad for her especially since she's going to miss her days at work and probably won't get paid. Since she's part-time paid sick days aren't part of her job. Not only doesn't she get sick days but she also doesn't get any kind of health insurance so she has to pay a pretty high premium each month for her own coverage. I could get on a soap box here about health coverage but I won't. My day ahead will just be the usual daily grind of housework and whatever else happens. I'll let the day just play out and see what it brings. So, what's happening with you on this 1st day of May?

First of May is Labor Day in all Europe. I finally had a nice relaxed day. It was partly sunny and a lot colder than the past days. I am sorry your daughter has a bronchitis. I wish her to get well soon.

I started with waiting, wondering when the moving van will come. So, while waiting I pulled out an old quilting project and cut out ten more blocks. I had three sewn when the call came. Tomorrow, tomorrow, I happy as a clam.

It's a very winter scene outside. The sky has disappeared behind cloud cover and it's cold. Not the way to start May!

Unusual for your part of the US. Maybe we switched weather?

Hi Marilyn. I am sorry about your daughter. Hoping for her speedy recovery. I had acute bronchitis 5 years a go because of over fatigue. Today is holiday here because of Labor Day. It is night time so a few hours from now, will be sleeping. Take care.

@Marilynda1225 Youre most welcome, Marilyn. I agree with you. But I think the antibiotics will help. It did with mine.

I got some gas for the mower and found out it started and is running just fine..Halleujah Praise the Lord! I got a bit of grass cut..but should probably do more tonight. Even though it is not humid, tomorrow might be a bit warm out there on the mower.

I hope your daughter feels better soon. Our first day of May was nice and warm but not humid. That really sets the tone for the month. The second day is not turning out bad so far either.

Its a nice spring day here to welcome the month of May. I like May for the weather-there is usually a mixture of cool to warm. I hope that your daughter's meds kick in so that she can feel better soon and return to work.

By tomorrow she'll be anxious to get back to work. She isn't one to sit around and likes to be busy

It's a beautiful day here, and warmed up enough for shorts and a tee. I hope those antibiotics get your daughter all healed up, quickly. We both have insurance and don't have to pay a penny. I can imagine how costly it is for your daughter. On the other hand, we dropped over $3000 for Doodles in the last couple of weeks. Pet insurance wouldn't cover it if we wasted our money on it. Sigh....

I suffer from chronic sinusitis. It is a battle, but the antibiotics when needed work their magic. I use a neti pot which is very effective in keeping the sinuses clear and germ free. Now, with May and the pollen it brings, my allergies will be acting up. But that's ok, I'll take it over cold weather any day!!!!
