After a nice, sunny day yesterday we woke up to more snow this morning. It was cold yesterday but it was a pretty day. I didn't do much. My left knee is killing me so I try to be careful.
That Coloplast Flange lasted till this morning only because I forced it to. I could feel a bit of stinging yesterday but waited till this morning to change. Now I have a Convatec one on. The Pharmacy hasn't delivered my supplies yet. Hopefully they will tomorrow. I'm out of my Adapt Lubricant that I squirt inside the bags to make it slippery. It's a deodorant also. I have to pay for that myself. It's $20 a bottle for 8 oz. I try to make that last for one month. Some of this stuff Medicare doesn't pay for so I have to buy them myself. And they only allow you so many flanges and bags a month also. That is why I am so glad I can get these to last for at least three days now. Or I'd have to buy the rest. I did order some barrier rings that the Hollister Co.makes. Adapt Convex Barrier Rings. Since I'm already getting the Eiken Seals I can't get any more from Medicare unless I switch but I don't want to switch unless I like them. I'm still in the testing stage of all this stuff.
I chopped my hair off last night and colored it a bit. I was going to let my hair grow but it's a pain. It's so much easier when it's short. I can just finger comb it and it's good to go.
Brrrr! I am a bit chilly this morning. Guess I'll turn on the heat just to get the chill out of the air.
Got to go for now and get my birds up and get breakfast. Have a nice day everyone.
Update:
My daughter, Nina, and the kids finally came to see me today! I told her it was about time. She said either one kid or the other has been sick and so was she for a while and then if they weren't sick then Jordan wasn't at her place that weekend. The kids have the whole week off for winter break but Nina has to go to work tomorrow. She said the college will close for spring break soon though so then she will have a week off.
The kids finally got their Christmas presents. They were happy! Of course..Ha! Jessi couldn't wait to hand me the little note and drawings that she had made for me. So cute. I'll scan that soon and put it on here. Salena wrote me a note before she left to thank me for the gifts. She wrote it on the note paper I bought her.
We had some spinach balls and snacks and I popped one of my Flatbread pizza's in the oven. Jessi didn't like that too well though. Not like those pizzas that you get from the pizza places..Ha!
I made them all get in a group to take photos before they left. First time I've had them all together in ages.
They left around 7:00 PM. Now I'm pooped out..Ha! Ha!
I had a bad thing happen just before the kids came. I heard this loud noise from the living room and knew right away a bird had hit the window. I hurried in to look out and there was a beautiful male cardinal laying there dead. It had broke it's neck I think and blood was coming from it's nostrils. It was already dead so it didn't suffer any. I feel so bad for it's mate now. She will be all alone. I only had five pairs here and now I don't know what will happen to that female. The poor thing. I'm going to do a search and see if she will get another mate or be a widow for the rest of her life.
I think the hawk must have come down and that's why the cardinal hit so hard. Because there wasn't a bird in sight and that is usually a sign that it;s around. Not one squirrel was around either. It was quite a while before any of the birds came back and all the cardinals were out there with all the females. One male came down right next to the dead one. I didn't see if a female came or not because the kids were here. It was so sad to see that happen. No cardinals have ever hit the windows here before. Not sure if he hit the window or the side of the building. maybe the hawk hit him and just didn't catch him. But whatever happened he died fast and I am glad of that.
It is only 4 degrees here tonight. Very cold. Didn't get out of the teens today but it was sunny.
Now I am going to unload my camera onto the computer to check out my photos. I'll put some up tomorrow. Then I'm going to bed. I'm exhausted.
