What a week this has been!
Posted By pamelamyers on January 26, 2011
Or should I say, what a winter! As I type this, it is snowing. Again. It snowed this morning, rained, then just finished sleeting for a while and now that we have a layer of ice down nice and slippery, it is snowing on top. We are expecting about another 10 inches. This has been the snowiest winter. By pure measurement, last winter was worse snow-wise, but it has snowed what seems like at least once, if not twice, per week for over a month. The newscasters call the storms we have been having “nuisance snow” which is a good definition because they certainly have been that. Every snow seems to come right during morning rush hour. Anyway, it has given us a lot of hectic mornings trying to get Sam out of the house so I could go to work, but she has been a real trooper. Sam never gives me too much trouble getting ready in the morning, putting on her coat, etc., and I am thankful for that.
She is definitely doing better, healthwise. Her cold is almost gone. In the last few days she has been back to her regular level of energy and her appetite, which took a real nosedive, is coming back. We had just gotten to a point where we felt she was eating a good amount of food at a meal, then with this cold she just wouldn’t eat anything, even her favorite foods. All day with Sam was a never ending battle trying to get in 2 bites here, 2 bites there until she had enough food for the day. She has been doing well but last night she unexpectedly woke up crying at 4:00 a.m. and wouldn’t go back in her crib. I held her and she’d sleep, but she just would not lay down. Not surprising I guess since I could hear her breath rattling around in her chest. I think the congestion has moved a bit and she can’t breathe right. I hope tonight goes better and we all get some sleep!
No new pictures since Sam hasn’t exactly been up to it, nor looking her best, but we will try for some this weekend!

Hope Sam feels better by the weekend so she can get out again in her sled. I think I need one for myself to get around in the city. I will hitch Elaine and Jerry to it and they can be my sled dogs, I mean cats.
