Well, we got one downpour that barely lasted a minute. Not enough rain to share, but we could get more tonight. We're dryer than normal, too, not to mention we're still getting temps 20 degrees higher than normal.

Good Morning Kids! We got plenty of rain overnight, and it's still coming down, so I kind of doubt we're still in the drought category.
Unfortunately, I need to get out this morning as DS has a doctor's appointment.

Yesterday was a long day but I got Mom to the doctors and settled in at home. My day ended with helping my brother install a second railing on the steps up to the bedrooms. My niece is going to come and stay with Mom today. We shall see how that goes, she operates at about the level of a 13 year old. My sister will probably make sure Mom has breakfast and hopefully niece will fix her lunch. In the past Mom was the one who ended up making lunch for both of them. I am so tired and just want to go back to bed.

I'm up on this rainy, rainy day. I have been to Mom's and got her breakfast and made sure she had her morning pills. Now I will do a little housework/laundry until DD shows up with kids so that I can babysit while they get their taxes done. For some reason they don't like to take their deductions with them to meet with the accountant. After that it is back to Mom's to get her lunch and be there while she takes a shower. After shower time if she isn't too worn out then we are going to attempt going down the stairs. I am not a coffee drinker and never have been so making coffee isn't in my skill set. Mom may be motivated enough by a cup of coffee to attempt the stairs. Once she feels comfortable enough to navigate the stairs some my life will be much easier.

Good morning everyone. It's sunny and 16* at 7 am. 33* now at 11:30 am. At least not as windy as yesterday.
Wife, son and gs2 are in Raleigh, NC for a hockey tournament. They won last night and tied this morning. Next game tomorrow morning. Expensive sport for kids 12 yo. There is a team from Arizona!

Hello peeps! A wet and windy day today. I race tomorrow, so getting things done today is essential. I have stuff stacked up on DH's chair next to me, as a reminder to get a move on.

Good Afternoon Kids! It's cool & sunny here, actually, it's back to "normal" temperatures here, in the 60's. I'm off to get some errands done...

Woo hoo! I found my local Girl Scout cookie "dealer", and got a couple of boxes (one my favorite, and one DH's favorite).

Woo hoo! I found my local Girl Scout cookie "dealer", and got a couple of boxes (one my favorite, and one DH's favorite). When I went to the grocery store this afternoon I was very happy to see the girl scouts out front. I bought a couple boxes for me and a box for Mom. I need to get Mom out of her bedroom or figure out an easy way to open the blinds. Her dresser sits in front of the window. After lunch and her shower today I was getting ready to leave and she was trying acknowledge that she knew I wasn't getting to do anything I wanted to do. She suggested I take a book and go outside and read. Thanks but no thanks, its 45 degrees, rainy, and wind gusts to 25mph. When I told her that she laughed and then told me I would probably have to wear a coat.

Good Morning Kids! It's cool & sunny this morning. Which means, long sleeves & maybe sweaters being worn to church. (Unfortunately, our church, like the local grocery stores, will often turn on the air conditioning when we don't need it.)

Yum! Thanks for the snack, NancysSummerSip. Sure enough, someone turned on the air conditioning at church. Definitely didn't need the extra "cool".

Well, I thought it might dry out enough to mow the lawn this afternoon.
Nope. And it's pouring rain. Good day to be inside working and getting ready to fix dinner shortly.

Well, the furnace is running for now, but I will need a new one. They are trying to get a price from Carrier, since there was an issue with this model.

I called out today for work, time for the caregiver to take care of herself.
Bluerobin hope the new furnace is less expensive then expected and quickly installed.

That's a big ouch, Bluerobin! So sorry. We had to replace the one in our previous house, and the price had gone up a lot since the last time we had to deal with a furnace. Hope you get a deal, since this Carrier brand one is misbehaving... Good Afternoon Kids! Believe it or not, it's supposed to be cloudy & rainy here most of the week. I've got stuff to go through, so it'll just motivate me to stay indoors. And maybe get a thing or two done.

Hallelujah, Mom went down the steps today. Bro went over and supervised and she said she didn't have any issues. She still needs to go back up the steps tonight but he is still there hooking google speaker things for her. That way if she does get into trouble she can yell for google to call someone.

Great news, Bluerobin! I was thinking about you today, and hoping you had heat. February is a lousy month to have furnace problems.

Good Morning Kids! I've got a dentist appointment this morning to finish my crown, but of course the 2nd appointment is the easy part of the process.

Today was the first time in months that I have felt like me. It really felt good. I was productive and got a lot done at work. Hopefully this is turning the corner and I can continue to feel better.
