The weather has been lovely the last couple of days and the dogs have been enjoying their walks.  Me too:)  I miss going to the off leash dog park but having Charlie on a leash is a much better option at this time in his life.  He's still very reactive; he's large, and he scares people and other dogs.  So walks in the neighborhood work much better and I'm finding all the treed pathways around here.

We've only had one car since I met my hubby.  We work together in the same hospital so it made sense, but now that I'm retired, I needed my own vehicle and this week I bought myself a car.  It's secondhand and in good shape.  It's a Subaru and handles well on snowy or icy roads which is a huge plus for me.  I love it.

Jack is doing much better this week at school and daycare.  No threats uttered by him and no violence.  Hubby is reminding Jack everyday to use his words when he's angry, to take a deep breath, and/or to walk away.  

I'm supposed to be working today and even went in, but there were nine nurses on the floor which is four extra nurses, and it's a PM day which means one of the CT scanners is down for maintenance, so less patients.  I can't do that.  I don't do well with slow days and there's no need to pay me for doing almost nothing, so I came home and will walk the dogs shortly.

I have a lot of green tomatoes sitting on my kitchen counter, and in my laundry room.  The nights are cold now and everything has stopped growing, so it was time.  

There's not much going on.  I'm trying to avoid the news right now because it's so awful, but it's like a train wreck and hard to turn away from.
