Home sick today, and want to thank the SS gang for giving me a good grounding in saving and stockpiling. I had what I needed to get through this cold. Lots of soup, tea, and enough meds. Not the flu this time, like last year's disaster. Just a garden-variety cold.

Nancy, hope you are better soon. We are having the crazy cold then warm weather here. A lady at work today said she hoped she wasn't getting sick. I was not amused. And she's our local germaphobe . DS just got the FBI virus on his computer again. He first got it last year, but thought the school IT guy had it fixed. I was reading that it's pretty tough to get rid of, and that it lays dormant and then rears its ugly head. He has some very important documents that we are hoping and praying nothing happens to them. He needs to show whenthey were created and edited. Hopefully the virus doesn't care about things like that. REALLY bad timing. Work is still crazy busy. I realized last night that if we do 2 furlough days each two week pay period, I'm going to be scrambling for money. I'm thinking if it really does start that I will cancel cable. I've been thinking about trying one of those inside antenas for the tv. I've heard that we are centrally located between 2 very large cities but that they are a little too far from us to be effective. I suppose I could try one and return it if it doesn't work. Anyone have one of those? DD is flying home tomorrow. I'm hoping the crazy weather will subside and she has a smooth trip.

Yes we have an inside antenna for each TV. We are inside the city limits and we get about 14 different channels.

Taxes are done, just waiting for the IRS to accept them. The accountant said that the IRS is not yet accepting returns that have education credits. It may be mid to the end of the month before they are ready for them. We have an antennae on the top of our roof and get several stations. We get the main ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS and then some odd random other stations.

Returns with Educations credits are not being accepted until mid-February.
More weird happenings in DN's neighborhood. Same guy tried to break in neighbor's house and several other's yesterday. She got home from work early and interrupted him and he took off. Police got a palm print from the window which he didn't break and said the footprints in the mud match the footprints in the snow from last week. The neighbor is wondering what else he thinks he can take from her or if he just doesn't know he's been there before. She's totally freaked. Hope I was able to put her mind at ease a little as about 4:45 PM, there was a police car in front of her house. The officer came out from between the two houses. DN said there is no fence around their yard and police had said they'd be checking her house today. While the police car was parked on the street, another drove past the house. Saw lots of police cars around that time for about an hour. Police say they know who it is and he is a high school crackhead. There is a high school within walking distance. Just need to catch him.
We are to get a big snowstorm overnight and tomorrow so I sent a text to my neighbors. They have a 3 week old baby and she always did the morning plowing of my driveway. I don't have to go anywhere tomorrow so I told the hubby it doesn't need to be done until evening so he can go to work. I do need to get out on Thursday and let him know that. He asked if baby's crying was keeping me awake and I told him I have never heard anything from that house and to tell their potential buyers that. I know they have parties, but I would guess they are mostly in the living room/kitchen area, not the bedrooms. The duplex attaches at the bedrooms. I will be sorry to see them go. He said nobody has shown any serious interest yet.
Looks like by next winter, I will have to find somebody else to do my snow.
My sump pump has been going like crazy. We had the same type of rain that Holly describes. Kind of surprised that the news says we only got 1/3 of an inch of rain. We are to get 6-8 inches of snow tomorrow and strong winds. Not looking forward to that.

I feel guilty for having nice weather here. Sorry, everyone. But rest assured when you have nice weather this summer, I will be complaining about the heat and the smog. Our 10-day forecast is mid-60s to 71, with one day at 60. No rain in that forecast, either. (Checked my wonderful DH's 10-day forecast for Texas ... upper 70s to upper 80s for the next 10-days!) He leaves in the morning at 5:30am (a friend will drive him!)
I filed a claim today for a State of California/Dell Computers class action having to do with overpayment of taxes on extended warranties. Looks like we're eligible to claim (including interest) $40.09! So I went online and filled out the paperwork. It won't pay until summer, but hey, $40 is $40, right?
I managed (stupidly) to splash bleach (well, drop bleach) on a laundry basket of my favorite short sleeved tops. Augh. While they are all wearable (around the house), I've just ruined 7 tops! I am very mad at myself. I did find some similar tops online and on sale, and decided that I could spend some money to replace them with similar tops. So, I've got 4 coming, eventually. (One was backordered). $76, by the time I pay taxes and $2.99 shipping. Oh well. I've told myself to learn from this mistake and move on with things. Anyway, these are officially my Valentine's present now. (I told my wonderful DH and he was actually delighted that HIS Valentine's Day shopping is done, lol!)
The tree guys have decided that one of our ornamental pear trees can't be saved (fire blight), so we need to get it taken down. I called and got a few bids and we're going with our gardener who quoted us $145. I am not sure when they're coming to do the work ... probably this week or next.

I think our drought conditions may be over. After all the rain Sun night/Mon it startedraining Tue mid-afternoon and has rained ALL night. Both my street and backyard are flooded. Think we have gotten/will be getting >3inches between Tue & today after the 1 inch Sun/Mon. Even my neighbor, who I have NEVER seenflood, is flooded at the auto entrance to his garage. Freezing rain/sleet/snow forecast fortoday. It was >40 out at 12:30am. At 6 am it has dropped to 37.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> I hope my snow is NOT as bad as theotherme ispredicting for hers.

Back at work today, still on liquids. Our weather is bragging-type stuff, too. Cold front is coming tonight, but the fifties tomorrow is nothing to moan about.

It's 7 above and dropping, our high temp tomorrow is only supposed to be -10 to -15 without the windchill, but the long range forecast is for the 20's above starting Saturday.

Brrrrrrrr, everyone. We're forecast for 66 and sunny today. My wonderful DH left at 5:30am to catch a 7am flight. He has a 4-hour layover in Dallas, so I expect a call then. I was planning to sleep in a bit this morning since we were up late last night, but the City (or someone) was jackhammering the street behind ours starting bright and early this morning and it was so loud the windows were shaking! My plan is to try to eat what we've got in the house for at least the next 5 days, and only then go shopping. (I've got 5 bananas left, lol!)

Our weather is beautiful today. We are expected to drop about 20 degrees by morning.
I cleaned off the patio today and saw tulips coming up in my 2 pots. How exciting.
I went to the Navy exchange and found my yogurt and cottage cheese for 91 cents and 71 cents. I feel good when I feel like the price is right. They also had a free cuddly bear with the purchase of 3 cards, so I got one for each of the grand girls. My card shopping is done until June. They also have 20% off all cards there.
All of the condos that are up in my platt have been sold. The next ones will be priced higher. So my property just went up in value. Happy girl dance.

We were around mid 70's today. It's started getting windy, and should start raining. We have a tornado watch, but it's a low one. I saw pics of the one that touched down in GA. Scary. DD was just boarding her plane about 15 minutes ago. Praying her flight is safe. Looks like the AF is now starting to talk furloughs also. I think it will be a huge shocker if feds and contractors have to start watching the pennies. Economy won't improve like the experts are predicting. I've heard we might get snow tomorrow, but who knows. All of you stay safe and warm, as well as dry

We had a few rain showers today but it was much warmer than it has been. I think tomorrow and Friday are supposed to be fairly nice.
DD will be here briefly Friday night. She has a very early morning flight on Saturday to a conference. Guess who is the elected chauffeur to take her to the airport. She hates freeway driving and the thought of driving up to Portland was too much. Especially since she gets back in during the middle of the day on Wednesday and would have to drive in Freeway traffic through that big city. Even I don't like that.
Dutt I marvel at the thought of cottage cheese for 71 cents. How much was in the carton? For us a good price on one of the small 16oz cartons is $1.65.
Last Friday I had a Dtap shot (diptheria, tetnus, pertussis) and seem to be having a bad reaction to it. I think I will call the Dr. tomorrow. My arm has finally stopped hurting. This was major pain not the usual achy soreness that I have had other times when I have had this shot. It went through my whole shoulder, front and back, up into my arm pit and down into my elbow. I have been fighting exhaustion and nausea. There is still a huge knot in my arm a little larger than a quarter. I guess there always has to be something to keep life interesting.

Snow and winds all day. Travel not advised on highways around here. Schools closed and already on delay for tomorrow. Wind chills tonight are to be below zero. Not going to enjoy going to the church tomorrow to work. It's only 4 miles, so it's doable. I will prepare the newsletter that didn't happen on Monday and the Sunday bulletin. My mother thought last Sunday's bulletin could be used this week since church was canceled. Not the way it works.
Lucy seems to be getting the message about NOT using the bedroom tv as a scratching post. She doesn't really hurt it. Just gets a little moisture on the screen, but I can't watch! That is the worst part.
Still waiting on the last two documents to come in the mail before I can file my tax return. I didn't do too well on coming close to +/- $100 on the federal return. I'm getting a refund that is nearly $1,000. I will definitely be checking that over again to be absolutely certain I haven't made a Turbo Tax mistake. I've checked several times and haven't found one. I'm guessing that W-2 from the crappy college job didn't get mailed today as it was closed, so it won't get here until Friday. The 1099 for the computer I won from Staples hasn't arrived. I do have that included in income, but I can't eFile without the EIN, etc. and I don't have that information. I also realized that the sales tax deduction is probably going to be higher than state income taxes because I bought the car. I have to dig out the paperwork tomorrow or Friday.
While I am out tomorrow, I do have to go to the next town over and go to the grocery store. Also need to buy a 60th birthday card for my BIL who will turn 60 the day I head for Colorado next week. His present has not arrived yet, so I can't mail it.

My wonderful DH made it safely to Texas and called from his Bed and Breakfast.
I watered plants out front and filled bird feeders and loaded up the Explorer with stuff for the Petco adoption center that I've been holding here for months.
Lunch was quiche. Snack was cheese and crackers. Dinner was leftover chicken/carrots, some tabouli, and a summery salad with tomatoes and sweet peppers.
Currently 53. Overnight low is 37. Tomorrow's high is 65 and sunny.
Payday is Friday ... need to write some checks and pay some bills.

My weather/sno has NOT been as bad as theotherme. We just got a dusting overnight. Not enough to have to shovel but need to clean off the car. Right now it is 18 out but temps are supposed to be dropping today. Next day to be closer to 'normal' is Sat w/mid-20's.
I am still missing several 1099-INT. Got none yesterday BUT I did get my semi-annual property tax bill. OUCH!!!

Another cold, blustery day. At least DH got our driveways and parking lot plowed yesterday in case anyone wants to go out in this weather to visit us.
"Payday is Friday ... need to write some checks and pay some bills."
Same here Molly, at least it is my payday. It is kinda nice, DH and I get paid opposite Fridays so we have some money coming in every week.

Our great weather yesterday turned quite nasty last night. half of the woods behind my house was in my backyard this morning. The wind woke me up and I felt like a dog that was on alert. The pressure changed so Marley and I were walking in circles last night at 3 AM. I made up for the lack of sleep this afternoon on the couch. I have 2 bills to pay tomorrow as well, MOLLY. They just keep coming! Stay safe.

One night down, 16 to go until my wonderful DH comes home. I had 2 cats in bed with me last night, with one on the heated cat bed on my wonderful DH's night stand. By morning, there were 2 cats in the 2 heated bed, and the last cat was staring at me in our bed, wondering why we have only TWO heated cat beds in our room when we have THREE cats in there, lol! I explained to Tigger that when I'm in it, our big queensized bed WAS a heated cat bed! (grin) =^..^= We had reports of gunshots fired outside the basketball game of the local high school in MY neighborhood last night, with much police activity as a result. They found casings and bullet holes in cars, but no injured persons or persons with guns. The police suspect it was related to the basketball game. Weirdly, the last time that there was a shooting near our neighborhood high school was in 2009 when they were playing the very same team in basketball. (Things that make you go "hmmmmmmmm.") In any event, I'd prefer NOT to have people shooting at each other a mile or two from my house, ya know? EEEEP! Last day of January.... wow! Let's hope I can keep recreational spending under control for Feb!

It's currently 3 degrees with northerly winds of about 20 mph making for a wind chill in the -20's. It also makes for snow blowing across the roads, including the main road. Schools are on 2 hour delay again tomorrow. DS said she could tell a major different when she crossed the county line in to her county going home from work. In my county, one lane was mostly clear with the outside lane being icy on the edge. She said in her county, it was icy across both lanes of traffic and the wind was blowing the snow so much it was a white out.
I called my mom. She is fretting about getting stuff out of the basement and that it will take more than one day to move them, etc., etc. If the weather turns out to be as predicted, DS and I will make a trip down there on Sunday to bring home a van load. We also want to talk to them about either leaving the house when it is being shown or accepting the loan and moving with house empty of furniture. Couple that came through a week ago want the house, but they are pregnant and they haven't decided if they want to go in to debt. There is some hope in that statement from realtor.
It's supposed to snow again overnight tomorrow in to Saturday. I'm supposed to go to a concert at the casino on Saturday evening so I hope it lets up enough for me to do that without fear.
Since I only get "paid" once a month, tomorrow is pay day for me also. OPM didn't do what I asked them to do over the phone with where my money is being deposited so I have to go to bank in morning to transfer money so house payment does not bounce on Monday. That is the reason I said to have payment come out on the 4th, not the 1st. The person I spoke with at OPM repeated it back to me and she had it correct. Apparently did not enter it correctly. I've changed it online so it won't happen next month.
I think I need one of the heated cat beds. I had one years ago. Maybe that would keep Lucy from "scratching" the tv.

I heard two distinct gun shots near my house tonight. I'm hoping it was just somebody shooting an animal since it's pretty rural here and I see lots of wild animals.

Amazon.com had a better price and better selection on heated pet beds than did our local pet stores. It might be worth checking them online as a starting point. You can always check Petco.com and Walmart.com, too

I ended up helping my sister move this afternoon/evening. Don't ever volunteer to help a hoarder move even if they are family. I knew what I was getting into but it still always amazes me when I see how my sister lives. Most of the time we are not invited over to where she lives. She is in a definite need of a SS intervention. The number of huge bottles of soda and water that were all over that house only partially empty. If I knew I was going to be moving I would return my empties not move them. There were 4 adults living in a 3 bed 2 bath apartment that also had a small garage. They filled the largest U-Haul truck 3 times It really gives you incentive to get with the decluttering.

Decluttering AND recycling! Sheesh. Well, that was very nice of you to help them.
My goal is to be so thoroughly decluttered by the time we move (some secret point in the future), that we don't move one single unwanted item!
I picked out some items to toss today, but didn't actually get them in the trash yet. (I'm pacing myself!) (grin) Besides, I need something to do later, right?
Midnight here, going to bed.

Thur was just NOT my Day.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p> Kitchen double sink (Y drain) got plugged up, both sides. Of course.

Gotta wonder if that is notat least partly because brother is a lawyer.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> It is a good thing itwas cold out as I had bought meat & fish for 7 meals plus cottage cheeseand produce.

Forgot: I also had trouble w/the lock on the driver side car door. It opened and then would not close. Got it to close and then would not open. I plan to hit it w/WD-40 as soon as it warms up a bit - prob Mon.

MARV: I'm sorry you are having a rough time with your dad's health. Today is a down day. I'll do some wash and empty the dishwasher. Then piddle around doing small stuff. Sunday we're having a football party at a friend's house. My contribution is the dessert. I thought I'd make a white cake with hm chocolate frosting. MOLLY: I see how as time goes on, you miss DH more. You're a good military wife because you give him up to keep the rest of us safe. Thank you. Marley is playing lazy today also. She's cuddled up on the couch with her blanky and dog bed. She's in love with me. When others come to visit she's so excited. She's all wigglies and happy, then comes to sit by me when she's done welcoming the guests. I've never had such a true blue pup before. I must say it feels good.

OK, it was a nasty -27 this morning on my drive in (fortunately no wind). The forecast is for a couple degrees above 0 by this afternoon (heat wave ) My poor dog did his "business" awfully quick and returned to his warm spot on my dining room floor. He has been one spoiled baby since he became an "only child" earlier this fall.

I was late today because the horrible nasty cold wind blew the lid off my recycling bin and the recyclables all over the alley 3 times. I finally put a piece of wood on top of the lid to hold it down.
I taught geography/social studies today. The state flower is: PURPLE! Well , no but that was a student's guess.
