Usually February is a pretty good month for me. However, this February has not been fun at all. I started off the month by having to go to the doctor for a really bad cold which he put me on antibiotics to clear up the infection caused by this cold. Then, of course, we have had a snow storm after another after another with another big storm coming today. We have had so much snow that there is no place left to put what comes. DH even had to shovel off the roof of both the house and the garages. I don't think he ever had to do that before.
While I thought that this was the end of a bad month, on February 13th, we received a call from a dear friend that her husband D, who is DH's cousin and a close friend as well, had passed away early that morning. So, we packed up and went to Moncton for the funeral which happened on the 16th, a very sad day. February 16th is also my birthday - I know at my age I try to forget the birthdays, but I still wish the funeral could have been on a different day.
We came home on Thursday being very tired and emotionally drained. Guess what? On Friday, I came down with another nasty cold. Argggh! I am starting to feel better today so hopefully, things will not get as bad as the first one. I hate this February. The only good part of having to go to Moncton was that we did get to meet up and stay with my daughter and her hubby.
Enough of my woes for today. Last week, before I got sick, I bought myself a pair of Shape-Up sneakers. They are supposed to be the latest in sneakers and you have to wear them for short periods of time at first as they are supposed to correct your posture, tone your muscles and walk in a better form. Today, I am wearing them for a while in the house. They do feel really different on, I can see why they suggest wearing them for short periods at first. I do need to shape up so hopefully this will help.
The skies are getting dark and it looks like we are in for the start of our latest snow storm. It is supposed to start with rain, freezing rain and then a good amount of snow. I guess I will be doing my walking on my treadmill for a few days.
Have a great weekend everyone!
Should I restart my blog?

Sorry to hear you are having such a hard time and for your loss. Snow sure is nice to look at, but the work involved is not. Hope you are feeling better.
I hear ya!!!! The good thing is, the month is almost over ;o)
Despite the circumstances, DH and I had a nice visit with you and I was happy to be there for your birthday!
Hopefully your cold goes away soon and spring will be right around the corner.
Lmk if those sneakers make your butt look better because then I'll get a pair ;o) LOL!
Good morning!
I'm SOO sick of this winter weather!!
Feb is not a great month for me either. My dad died Feb 24th, 6 years ago, and was buried on FEb 28th..my DH's birthday, and one day before mine (march 1)...so all in all..not great!
And..Happy Belated Birthday to YOU!
I'm so sorry that you've had such a rotten month. Being sick is bad enough without all the rest. I hope this cold is over with quickly and that you don't get any more snow! Take care of yourself.
