Ugh! The weathernerds got it wrong AGAIN. It's snowing right now. Ugh. I know we need it, but I am really NOT looking forward to the snow. Partly because I was in a car accident last Dec 22, in the snow. Mostly because I just don't want to deal with the cold weather etc. I don't want to scrape my windows or defrost/defog them. And I don't want to have cold wet feet and hands. Christmas morning it would be okay. In the mountains it would be okay. 1st world problems, and I'm whining. I know.

Good Morning Kids! It is COLD in the house today, as we've got an inch or two of new sNOw, and the wind is just whipping around the house. We're still planning to go to church, but I'm betting the roads are icy.

There's freezing drizzle happening now. The wind is blowing and there is a high wind warning for tonight.
Happy I can just stay home.

A rest day for me, unless the lawn dries out, and then I will mow the front yard. Otherwise, it will wait until lunchtime tomorrow. I do get my booster shot today.

We're still planning to go to church, but I'm betting the roads are icy. I hate to type this but it's 68 at almost 10am and sunny here. Just hearing the word sNOw makes me shiver!! OK, I'll leave very quietly now before you throw something at me!!

I'm still sore but hoping today is an easier day. I did venture out to the store this morning and picked up stuff for dinner tonight, provided I can find my large pan. I've Christmas tunes on this morning so hopefully that gets me motivated to get going. I haven't heard from DD yet but that's okay. It has been a long few days and everyone is tired.

Thanks for brunch, NancysSummerSip. I'll have a fruit & granola parfait, but those blueberry pancakes look mighty good! Yes, there is some ice on the roads. But, I've had years of practice driving on roads like this, so no worries, unless someone in too much of a hurry slides into me.

Yes, I have tried it out. It's a cheapo version, so I just ordered a better quality one on Black Friday. My numbers are good, but it was interesting to see that my oxygen level is actually better while I'm exercising, than when I'm sitting at my desk. Not a huge difference, it went from 96 to 98, but when I stopped exercising, I was back down to 96. The body is complex. Thanks for the info! I wonder if your new one will work any better? Just curious. I got my new one, and it seems to be giving the same readings as the cheap one. Still, this one looks more like the ones they use at the doctors office. It's "Walgreens" brand, and you pinch it, kind of like a clothespin, to put on your finger. I'm finding I have a higher oxygen level on my dominant hand (I'm right-handed), which is interesting...

I'm finding I have a higher oxygen level on my dominant hand (I'm right-handed), which is interesting... Is that because of the direction of your blood flow? There's more oxygen in it when it goes through one hand, then the other? I am no medical expert. Nor do I play one on tv, so I could be totally wrong. I'm simply thinking back to my 7th grade health class.

Any Christmas parties coming up? None for me. Although I might buy a bottle of something to drink while I wrap gifts. You know, putting cash in envelopes is hard work! 😁 I do have several gifts for my grands to wrap though. I enjoy wrapping, usually. Adult beverages should help with the process.

More like freezing rain. This week is supposed to be more winterlike than fall like. The weather has been fall like. I like that now I don't have to drive unless I want to on bad roads. I generally don't want to, so I wait a day or two. The joy of retirement.

Rain today again. Just gray and dreary weather here in the PNW.
Having a cup of tea and getting ready to start on paperwork at my desk.
Take care all!

Good Afternoon Kids! It's definitely Monday. We've actually got a wind chill of -13 today, and that's February weather. ![](https://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff155/JiminiChristmas/ymamsmiles/cantbe.gif) And, I got a phone call that my relative is being sent to the hospital, as he may have sepsis. It's only lunchtime. Don't even wanna know how the rest of the day will shake out.

It's freezing and windy here today. Right now the wind chill is 9 degrees but the windows are gusting from the north at 45-50 mph. It goes right through me.

It is still nasty-cold here, but I have to be on the road early. DH's company requires me to have a "Wellness check" every couple of years, so I get to go to the doctor, and get a fasting blood draw. So, I'll be leaving shortly, and we're getting a light dusting of snow on top of our already icy roads.

I got through it all, and even had a good blood pressure. ![](https://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff155/JiminiChristmas/ymamsmiles/wink.png) Amazing, since I'm one of those people who stresses up when walking through the doors of any type of medical facility. I spent too much time in hospitals when relatives were admitted when I was a kid.

Yesterday was very windy which is common for this area but still unusual for me. We some gusts up to 40+ mph. Tonight I get to go to the pre-school Christmas program which should be fun. Slowly, very slowly, making progress on getting things unpacked.

Good Morning Kids! The dusting of snow that was forecast for our area this morning completely missed us. ![](https://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff155/JiminiChristmas/ymamsmiles/banana.gif) Unfortunately, we've got our first big sNOw forecast for Friday into Saturday, and they're guessing we'll get about 7 inches of the white stuff. We can't miss out forever, but I wouldn't mind missing this one. Gotta stock up on the basics today, so we'll be ready to hunker down at home. It's not bad when you don't have a job. It'll give me the opportunity to write more Christmas cards.

Good Morning Kids! The big storm is still on it's way here. My company decided it'd be best NOT to visit today, since who knows how long it'd take them to get back home (or IF they'd make it back home).
I'm planning for a long, quiet day. It's all good. I'll write cards, and maybe bake a bit.

LOL! My company decided to pop in after all. (Glad I was mostly ready.) It IS someone I enjoy visiting with. It's just going to be a bad weather day. In fact, it just started to begin snowing here when they left.

Hello peeps and happy Friday! I just signed up for a free 30-minute kickboxing session. I wanted to find a good trainer and the offer happened to come in the mail today, so... I think I am the one who is going to get kicked, but that's another story. It's next Friday and I have a 10K that Sunday.
