Work has been hopping the last few days. Taking a tea break and than back to the trenches. Everyone take care.

This should be an interesting couple of weeks. My furnace was DOA yesterday morning. I had been in talks with a company to get it replaced but not sure the new one has been ordered yet, sales guy is OOO until either today or tomorrow. I could have had the old one repaired but it would have started at $600 and gone up from there. Since I have two gas fireplaces with blowers and a wall heater in the bathroom off my bedroom I chose to tough it out. I also have a space heater that I can move around as needed. The next two nights are going to be rather chilly but after that the temps seem to start to moderate and won't be too bad at night. YIKES! I hope you have good weather! Stay warm.

Fed the cats and the snow has been melting.
Early this evening I have a class on Zoon on family heirlooms.
Then I will work on Ancestry for a while. That has become my happy place. I forget things while I am working there and my mind wonders how they lived in the 1750's.

Well I am sore and achy today.
But I didn't drop the brand new book that I had just picked up and I only was carrying my keys so...I will manage and be cranky for a few days. Trying to get home was a chore though...I was behind someone who drove and believed that the speed limit was 15 in a 25 MPH. And the signs were posted on the speed limit. I really wanted to turn my car into a Jetsons flying car and pass them but it didn't happen.

Have to admit that I'm sorta glad I opened this thread just now. I was headed to library to pick up books on hold but gray outside so I decided to get online instead. Your post just reinforced why I should stay home today and out of harms way. Sorry you went thru all this but you may have saved me from a day of disasters!

Hope you heal soon. My thigh is better now, but I think it was a week after overuse stupidity plus being underhydrated. Sometimes it's not worth passing someone if you put yourself at risk.

Ouch, snapdragon. I hope you heal up quickly. I'm having another Monday today, and it's only Wednesday. Can we start this week over, puh-leeze, with a different outcome?

It has been a strange week thus far. Do not know why. At least today's rain/snow was more rain than snow locally. I think the war in Ukraine is also putting people on edge. And the daily gas price changes.
I hope tomorrow will be better, but it almost feels as if this is one of those slog through weeks. At least we get longer daylight this weekend when we spring ahead. It was nice to finally have 6PM be dusk and it will be even nicer to have light until 7PM. Of course, the weather peeps are tracking another storm that should hit on Saturday. Snow, but we do not know how much yet.

Good Morning Kids! The sun is shining, but it's only 10 degrees out. Can Winter just be over? DS has an appointment this morning, so I've gotta keep moving...

Doing alright but still a bit sore. After the library fiasco I went home and ate a piece of cake with lemon curd to ease my feelings.
There is another handful of paperwork that I came into this morning so making a cup of red rose tea and getting to work.

Can you pass that lemon curd dessert, snapdragon ? That sounds REALLY good. It's actually Dickenson's Lemon Curd in a 6 or 8 oz jar. I picked it up during the holidays and I bought a white cake for something to calm the sweet cravings. But my dad used to place a order with the bakery at QFC and get it with lemon filling. Mine was on the side and it is yummy. I believe the filling will also end up inside cupcakes as a nice surprise.

I got some really good key lime curd some years back, and put it into some individual pastry cups. Delicious!

Hello peeps! All this dessert talk makes me want to go to the fridge for some. Can't do it. I am racing a 4 miler tomorrow, since the pool is closed. Will try to meet up with a friend for lunch after that.

Hi Kids! TGIF!! It's been a week, and I didn't get everything done, but did get through a lot of stuff, or at least tried.
It's very cold here, but in spite of it DS & I went out & bought Speedy a bag of dog food at the new pet supply store that opened up here recently.

The kids are coming over today and we are hoping to get in a good day of yard work. DD is bringing dinner so that is already a win for me.

Hello peeps! Got back from the race before 10, showered and went to Walmart (I was literally too stinky to get in there on my way home ) and would you believe it was closed? Power failure. Went to Publix for most of what I needed, came home, put the corned beef in the crockpot (for hash for tomorrow), had lunch and now doing a load of truly smelly laundry. And having hot green tea. Should be a severe line of thunderstorms coming through shortly, then temps in the fifties tomorrow. Good day to plant my garden and wash the car.

I'm really tired of washing my car and needing to wash it. As well as the cold. Although we need the water, I'm really just over the winter.
With gas prices being so high, I didn't make the 45+ minute drive (each way), to watch my DGD play soccer this morning. It makes me feel bad. But that's life. They only play for half an hour and it's not like I'm interacting with her/anyone when I go. But I like being involved and supportive.

My car also needs washed. I hope to do it when I do grocery pick up on Monday. I have been conflicted about getting the car washed when I go to town for all of these years. It's because I have a route where I start with the errand that is farthest away and work my way towards home. Well, the coffee shop was early on the route so I would skip the car wash.
Now the coffee shop is almost at my back door so I can wash the car and then stop at the coffee shop.

Don't forget to turn the clocks ahead tonight! (I might forget.) The day began sunny here, but got very cloudy/gloomy later on. No snow or rain, just a "yuk" kind of day.

We got such much work done yesterday that I will be able to have a garden this year. We even pulled vines down that were growing up a tree. The dinner DD made was really good now I need to figure out dinner for next week. I'm still really tired this morning and somewhat sore but not nearly as sore as I thought I would be.

A bit of everything since I am running late...should we celebrate (or dread) Daylight Saving Time?
