Same here weather wise. To hear talking heads you would think a Cat 5 was headed our way. From what I keep hearing, everyone east of Utah is either experiencing a Cat 5 along with 3 feet of snow, or will be momentarily. I hope it's not true! Stay safe an stay warm! And we will be in mid to high 60’s by Wednesday. No Cat 5 hurricane headed this way but to hear them talk we are doomed. Don’t envy those with snow and below zero weather bearing down!

Ouch to the ugly weather! I remember thinking that the electric heat we had in Florida just didn't heat our house as well, nor as evenly, as the gas heat we have here. Not to mention, the houses in the South just aren't insulated. Hope you have lots of quilts/blankets, and warm clothing to see you through. DH & I were just today talking about putting in a wood-burning fireplace (again). We just might do it this Summer. You can't be without good heat in this part of the country.

I have my hot green tea at hand. Dinner is fish and chips for DH and I will have a salad. I am baking cookies this afternoon, after I get a haircut at 2.

Getting out of a pool, when it's cold out, is miserable!

What time will you be taking the cookies out of the oven ? Inquiring minds want to know. And I admire you to the highest order for swimming in 47 degree weather. The winds were just added to aid you in drying off quickly

Good idea on the cookie baking, NancysSummerSip. It DOES help warm up the house. Good Afternoon Kids! It's sunny and a balmy 21 degrees here. Not warm, but much warmer than we've had recently. Not going to complain.

I made up the dough and stashed it in the fridge for now. It a Molly Yeh recipe for thick and gooey chocolate chip cookies.

That wild fox that hangs around our neighborhood is out & about today. I've noticed in the Winter it seems to like to come out when it's sunny. Something happened to one of its ears, but not sure if it is from an animal attack, or maybe the tip got frostbit, & fell off?

I went to watch my DGD's first soccer game today. 3yr olds are a hoot to watch play. Unfortunately, I missed most of the game because where they play is an hour away and I'd never been there before, so I had to locate it. Ugh.
I think it's funny how people think it's not too far for me to drive that far, both directions, almost every day, to do what they want. But I live way too far for them to come visit, or help me! <head smack> 🤔
DD1 is packing, to move to her new house, this week. Because I gave away all but a few of my Christmas decorations, in Dec, I had some empty storage totes. She and her friend came and picked them up last night. So today, after the soccer game, I rearranged things in my garage and threw out the stuff I no longer needed. That was a good thing to get done.
I also delivered some items I was getting rid of in my Buy Nothing group, started some laundry and did my dishes.
My next door neighbor went to the hospital a few weeks ago. He told me he has pancreatic cancer (they just found it.). I'm beginning to wonder if he'll be coming home.
I'm ready for a nap.

Went out running this morning at 38 degrees. A few layers helped. My nose was cold.

Good Morning Kids! It was humbling to realize when I woke up this morning that the temperature difference was less than 10 degrees here compared to my old Florida neighborhood. Hope those of you in the heavy snow areas are able to get out. We're supposed to get some later this week, but nothing like the amount the East Coast is seeing. Crazy totals! We returned to church today, but the pews were a bit thin of people. With the Covid surge, more folks are watching church online.

OK, tax papers are all together and checked off. Yay us! Earliest ever we've been done. Running one last load of laundry, mostly towels. Swimming cancelled for tomorrow due to cold weather (old pool heater cannot handle it) so I will kickbox instead

Good Morning Kids! It's going to be a full day, and the warmest day of the week, so I'm going to get as many errands done as possible, before the temperatures hit the basement once again. Later!

We have the warmest temperatures we have had in a long time but the wind really kicked up today. The wind is at about 30mph with gusts up to 40 mph. I've seen a tumbleweed or two blow down the road.

Good Afternoon Kids! It's been a "Monday" here today. DS had a seizure this morning, and I'm honesty not sure what triggered it, as he's been drinking plenty of water (if he's the least bit dehydrated, that's one of his triggers). Then, since I'm stuck at home, I've been working on clearing though paperwork in the master bedroom, and now my back is bothering me. Just another day...

busymom I'm sorry to hear about your craptastic day, hope you and your son are feeling better. I had a doctors appt yesterday to establish care with a new doctor in my area. He is great I'm really pleased. The nurse called me back 5 minutes before my appt was to start and apologized for my having to wait so long. They had given me a 30 min early check in because of the paper work. The doctor then spent an hour with me going over my medical history, medications etc. I had connected their clinic on mychart with the mychart in my previous town. He had reviewed that information and asked me questions about what he had read etc. It was very relaxed and he talked about his philosophy for treating patients. Then I got a pneumonia shot.

I'm so happy for you! I have had a lot of doctor appointments in the last couple of months, trying to find a new one, without any luck. I was finally able to find my previous doctor's new location, on line. What a relief!

Good Morning Kids! We've got a wind chill of -19, so I'm not planning to venture out until this afternoon, if at all. DS is doing better today (having a seizure is exhausting, so he usually sleeps more after having one). At least the sun is out.

Dang! I hope you, your son/family have a better day today. It seems like just the trauma of dealing with a seizure would be exhausting. I'm glad your son is getting some rest. I hope you do, as well.

Good Morning Kids! Well, the air temp here is at 4 degrees, but the wind chill is at -9. I'm debating whether to do any errands, or just hunker down at home & do stuff. It's not like there's nothing to do at home...

I made it to town for grocery pick up and my chai tea treat. I thought my fingers were going to be frozen while I turned the alarm system on by phone. Can't wear gloves for that. It was cold.
There's always plenty to do here, too. I just can't make myself do a lot of it.
Maddow has been chewing on a cardboard box that he likes to sit on top of. While he has chewed enough of the cardboard, that it will no longer hold him so he and the broken box fell on the floor today. I laughed. I don't think he like that.
