Good Morning Kids! The sun is out, although it's cooler today. I saw the fox for the first time in days. Sharon, it must be a gingerbread-kind of a week. That's what I made yesterday, to go with DD's soup. Trying to wake up & figure out what tasks I should get done. I think I need more caffeine...

Hello peeps! Got my swim in, bike is in the shop and laundry is running. Will wash the kitchen floor and pay bills and decide on the rest of my race season later tonight.

Well, it DID end up being a productive day. I dropped off some new books and clothes with my relative at the nursing home. Then DS & I did some grocery shopping. The weather was beautiful during the day, so there weren't many people at the store, which was surprising for a Saturday. Then, after DH got off of work, we took my car to Sam's Club to buy gas, and I got my car washed. Now, at least it doesn't look like a salt lick. However, there is still plenty of snow that is melting, so I suspect the car will need another wash by the end of next week. I am enjoying the big melt.

And I wish the tax and license were paid too. At least the tax and license aren't due until the end of March. Supposed to meet my kids and grands for breakfast in the morning. I said if it snows, we shouldn't go. (Snow is predicted.) This is the 3rd week in a row that we've planned to go. I finally did some grocery shopping today. But didn't get everything. Prices are too high on some things, so I'm hoping they go on sale later in the week.

DD and kids came over today and we started demo on the chicken coop. We had hoped to get it down today but not quite, it is more solidly built then we thought. They ended up not staying for dinner since DSIL's brother and family decided to come over and visit. They are going to come over tomorrow evening because DD knows I planned for a big meal. I did go ahead and bake the mac and cheese tonight and had some for dinner. There is still plenty left for tomorrow.

Actually, we normally get at least 2 blizzards in the month of March, but it's much warmer than usual. Of course, it doesn't mean that things couldn't change here. Hope you duck the snow.

My car was washed by nature on my weekend trip. It poured for two days and I don't usually drive in snowy weather. It's good for a while now.

Laundry and dishes done. The inside of the dishwasher was funky-looking. Very grungy. Just cleaned it, including removing the filter. Yuck.

I really enjoyed it, although it's a small hole in the wall, with no room for those waiting for a table to stand, except right next to your table. And the food is good, so it's popular. Esp on the weekends. I still enjoyed it. 😊 Now I need to get some chores done. Ugh.

I'm sorry they lost, but glad you had a good time and got to see a few people, you hadn't seen for awhile.

Good Evening Kids! Another beautiful weather day. Most of the snow in the backyard is gone, however, there is still plenty out front, especially by the street. But, I'm not used to this little snow before March is over, LOL! I'm craving fresh fruit, since it feels like Spring. Thanks for including it with brunch, NancysSummerSip.

Hi Kids! I had paperwork to do, which took up a good chunk of the day. Glad that Monday is almost over.

I had a 4 item list this morning. I was going to do item #4 in stages. That was setting up the computer that HP Support reset to factory settings so I had to load all the software back on it. I was only to spend on hour on the software but I ended up getting everything loaded that was there before.

Good Afternoon Kids! It is raining, and raining, and will continue to do the same for the rest of today, and most of tomorrow. I can only imagine how much snow this would've been, if this were a typical March. And, at least it's a light rain, so the farmers should be happy...

Ok, so the data suggests we got 2.6 inches of rain. That would've been a lot of sNOw to shovel.

Just took my first sip of tea. Paperwork is already starting to breed so I need to get back to the pile. Everyone take care.

Good Morning Kids! We woke up to a fresh dusting of sNOw on the ground. Speedy was happy about it, although the rest of us are less impressed. Oh well, it's March, so it'll melt quickly, but the problem is we might get more later this afternoon.

Yesterday they removed my old furnace and AC unit, we are still on schedule to have the new ones installed on Friday. This week I have kind of crashed. I ended up with a cold, the quick covid test was negative. I think it is a whole combination of factors, the grandkids have colds, not having heat in my house, and working so hard to try and get this place into shape. Today I feel better. We are supposed to be 70 degrees today. I welcome that.

I was told if I developed cold type systems this week to be sure and take a Covid test. I got rained on twice. It was cold and going to the basketball game, I then had to wear wet, cold blue jeans for several hours. When I got back to the hotel, I couldn't get warm and was taking blankets out of the closet.
So far, nothing has developed.
I hope you feel better soon, Sharon.

I did a huge grocery run today but ended up with everything on my list. It took two trips into town and 3 stores total but the first time in a long time that I was able to get everything. I even got everything that I need to make my dessert for this weekend and stuff for lunch with the kids on Saturday.

Happy Friday Muffins!!!
I think we have finally broken out of our roller coaster weather pattern. It will be sunny and in the upper 70s through Monday and close to a record on Sunday and a warm storm in the 50s Tues-Wed minimal rain to sNOw that will melt quickly.
Have a Fantastic Weekend!!!
