Enjoying my cup of coffee while taking my pills (mostly vitamins) and hanging out here for a bit

I took out the trash earlier this morning and then went back to bed. I really didn't think I would sleep and if I did it wasn't for long because I have a lot to do before work today at noon. I made a list and I've I'm done here will start working on that list. I'm still trying to get some papers formatted differently and it's not working like it should. I get errors when converting from pdf to text to I tried scanning with my phone and then converting from jpg to text. That did work but all the info didn't come through. I'm not sure it will be acceptable. But I just thought of something maybe I can send them that way and I'm sure it's better to contact them to send them snail mail instead. Maybe that's what I'll do. Edit: I was able to reach them and found there's a way to do PDFs right on their page it just is a different area, so I finished that Tues morning. We got two inches of snow and then it warmed up and now it's raining. Lovely. Hubs just said the rain should quit at nine am which is now. Will have to see which wins the forecasters or three weather itself. Good morning, afternoon, evening everyone.

An OCR can extract text from a picture, but usually it's not accurate.

@MarshaMusselman The snail mail is always an option.

@LadyDuck the company may not like that I did a portion via the net and the rest snail mail but I don't see any way out of doing it that way.

I may just send the pages through the mail rather than uploading them. It's not the best but better than being late with sending them there. Unless I can talk to a person and find out other options or get okayed for the snail mail approach before sending them.

I was up early today doing stuff online. No snow, but rain and it is quite chilly so some of the droplets are freezing and hanging on the branches. It should warm up a bit more later though.

@MarshaMusselman It has been slippery out front of the house since some of that is in the shade, and sadly we had to walk on it to get to the cars. It appears to have all melted now though. I think anyway, I haven't been out.

@snowy22315 for getting to the cars I usually put some snow melt down just to insure neither of us falls. If I can shovel more today and get down to the cement that might be helpful or not is we begin getting rain that then freezes. At least warmer temps are coming for March. It could mean more snow at night but shouldn't be any in the daytime. It looks like forties average for the beginning of next month. But still twenties at night for my area in Michigan. Have a great day!

It started freezing what melted in the day time once I was out of work so I had to watch walking to my car but driving didn't seem to bad thankfully.

@marguicha oh. Maybe I should have remembered that. I was in Guatemala some years back but didn't keep track since how the times related to home.

Hmmm, I've never tried converting JPEGs to text, what an interesting idea, I'll have to try that someday.

That did it without any errors but it was missing viral info that I think the state will need. Mine aren't actually pics but screenshots taken with my camera of like a w-2. I don't know how it worked with an actual image. I would imagine not very well.

Glad you worked out your paperwork. You are talking Greek to me. We snowshoed this morning and after lunch did some skiing. It started to flurry, so we stopped. Resting now.

Ours is just starting to melt. I may regret not blowing more to the side if too much melts at once.

It’s snowing now in Vermont. We just returned from 6 hours of skiing and snowshoeing. We have to rest our muscles now.

Six hours sounds like a lot but you've been working up to it so maybe it's not as bad as if you'd don't that form the beginning to?

Sometimes snail mail is the the way you need to go. Glad it's warming up some for you. Don't get wet.

Sun is out today. I may need to shovel the end of the driveway more as I almost got stuck last night. I'm going to try calling the state and if I can't find the right extension just snail mail the papers.

Good morning. Just enjoying coffee with Kitty on my lap. I will have to get ready for work in a moment. I am very sorry after my long snowshoe outing yesterday. We go a bit mixed up on the trails and were out longer than planned! Kitty isn't feeling well; he wouldn't even eat his treat that he usually goes crazy for. I hope you get the papers to work out.

I hope I get them worked out too as it's getting annoying. I don't think I knew you had a kitty. Enjoy your coffee and sorry in guessing you're sore from snowshoeing?

@MarshaMusselman Yes, sore from snowshoing. I am getting stiff hips from sitting on the small chairs at school. Don't usually have a problem

Sorry that the formatting didn't work as you had hoped. I'm not that great with things like that. We are having rain this morning as well. A little sleet mixed in.

The site has a contact us option but you have to go through the faqs first and I've not yet looked.

Coffee is always first, then vitamins and the ones I have to take. I have shoved some of the meds Dr's have prescribed for me on the back burner, in my case I felt I had way too many and I didn't even think they were helping. I know I am no doctor, but some of them just prescribe too much in my case.

If you ask them to prescribe less they might listen and change your need regime. Some think the patient wants them all.
