You and me both, buddy.

It's done nothing but sleet and snow here most of the day. Bit of sun early on, but that was short lived.

And Met Éireann (the Irish Met Office) have issued a Status Yellow Snow/Ice warning for the whole of the country overnight, tonight.

Winter has decided to make a late arrival here later this week.  We're supposed to get over a foot of snow, along with high winds, Thursday through Saturday.  While that's not an astronomical amount for this area, it's a nuisance amount, especially combined with the high winds. I may take the day off on Fri.  The lake is open, which means lake effect.  We usually get that in Nov/Dec, not February/March.

Home made beef curry for dinner.

That will be the last food for me until after my doctor's appointment at 9:50 am tomorrow.

Having blood samples taken to check how well I am managing my Type 2 Diabetes. I'm fairly confident the results will go well, and the doc will reduce my medication (again)

Uhm, Happy Fasnacht Day!

One of the servers at breakfast this morning gave mum and I a dozen strands of beads that a friend of hers brought back from NOLA. She had a canvas shopping bag 3/4 full of them.

We had potatoes pops with leftover roast chicken and crepes with melted chocolate and vanilla ice cream for dessert

Today on Twitter I've checked someone (who follow someone I follow) 's profile. This woman had made a tweet about her son's death having been caused by a pill he was prescribed (it has been certified by a medical examiner): Pregabaline. Bells start ringing in my head.

Pregabaline is used against epilepsy but also against pain from a neurologically cause. Mom's been taking pregabaline since this Autumn when she's start having pain in her arm from what the doc thought might be from the radiotherapy she did to treat the metastasis on her cervicals. 

Some side effects from pregabaline: dizziness, vertigo, drowsiness, hallucinations, confusion, difficulty to focus, emotional lability, memory losses, muscular contractions which mom is suffering. Thinking back they all start since this Autumn... We thought it was from her condition, the radiotherapy on her brain, the different pills she's taking... I'm no doctor but now I'm questioning if maybe this pills could be the reason or at least play a part in it.  

She has less and less pains so she'll go see her doc to start decreasing/stopping some pain meds. 

Sigh

Lemon custard donuts! YUM!  And The Filling Station has a new specialty on the menu. It's called the Reveler's Pie. Marinara, roasted garlic, oregano, sweet and pickled peppers, fresh spinach, red onions, mozzarella and smoked Gouda, with Andouille sausage from Poche's of New Orleans.
