You poor IL people. I hope the situation gets worked out and a new governor steps in.

Barb - I did think of you when I read about it. Hopefully, things will get straightened out quickly and you will not only get your pension but the insurance premiums will be paid and all caught up so you don't get stuck with the bills.

Sandy - I had to read your "He double L to the double no!" post a few times to get that. LOL I thought, "He double L'd to the double?" What the heck is that? LOL. I finally got it. Glad you didn't have anything to do with it.

Frank - Thanks for the weather update. LOL Even though it feels cold here today, I shouldn't complain. 3" of snow with ice underneath is not fun. Slip sliding away . . . How do you manage with your cane on that? Doesn't the cane slip too? That could be dangerous. . . . Oh dear, I sound like such an idiot. I mean I grew up in snow but never once thought of managing a cane in snow. The thought never crossed my mind. I was more focused on managing a sled in snow and my ice skates on ice.

Update: As you can all probably tell, I am feeling so much better. Certainly not 100% but better than I have in a month. Of course, tomorrow is my date with the tube and lorazepam so I am sure by 1:30 tomorrow afternoon I will be feeling gooooodddd. LOL So if I don't post tomorrow afternoon, I'm sleeping and if I do well. . . it could be entertaining for you all.
