What are you doing today?

I am putting my flannel nightie on, keeping my socks on, getting under a blanket in my recliner, and all set to watch Yellowstone. It is snowing outside, the wind is blowing. And I am toasty warm. Stella is settled in her blanket as well.
 

@Pappy How's your wife doing? One thing for sure, this milestone anniversary will be the one you'll refer to as "the year DW broke her wrist". Here's a hot tip if she's got a fiberglass cast: if it gets wet she can dry it out with a hair dryer. Not that getting it wet is a good idea, but stuff happens.

I have no idea what's on the agenda for today. Maybe it will be spent sitting on the patio and waiting for the grass to sprout.

Not sure what I'm doing, it's still kinda early.
Altho, it's Black Friday today..and I'd like to order an electric blanket online. No way I'm going to the stores.

Need to make a couple of calls about imaking changes to my health insurance.
And, I may sit outside in the sun, when ever it decides to show up and read my People magazine.

I too have been thinking of electric blanket or a wool one its 27° lately. I'm over an open garage even though its gated.
 

@dobielvr and @Autumn716 Lemme tell ya that my weighted blanket is dy-no-mite! It's warm and feels like being hugged all night long. They are heavy to maneuver when you're making the bed, but when you're under it? Ahhhh. I've had an electric blanket, and it was nice, but the weighted blanket is even better.

ETA: I've had mine for a year and can vouch for the fact that it's warm in winter but cool in summer.

Not a lot planned for the next few days, but I've got to get intouch with my new medicare supplement company to straighten out some things, got to order a new small freezer as the old one in garage is 30 years old and falling apart.....got to do extra cleaning in kitchen due to Christmas cooking and people traffic.

That's the only way I can sleep in the winter....is with heavy blankets on me.
I decided against the heated blanket, due to the fact I have the heated mattress pad under me, and it may just be too much.

What I did, is I pulled out an old down comforter I had bought years ago. I had my niece help me put some flat sheets pinned around it...kind of a mock duvet. And, it's keeping me warm. It's not too heavy, so I don't have trouble moving it
on and off of me. So happy I did that.
 
It's my birthday, and a significant one. Which for me, is very emotionally difficult, having lost nearly all those people, who might or would know me or care,
and myself being too ill to be able to do most of the things I would like to. (for others and for myself)
Still, I do try (when able) to refocus myself on simply being glad for absolutely any and everything, that a person can be glad about.
And I often do manage to remember some of those, too.

Happy Birthday Kaila...treat yourself to something special.
You deserve it!! 🎂
 
Happy Birthday @Kaila. I find life to be so bitter sweet anymore. I hope you find some happiness in memories of the past. Try and make the most of the day-ice cream cures all 🥰.

I understand, a lot of us understand, about not being able to do as we wish. I was never very physically strong and seems like I get weaker every day. Now that I have the time and wish to climb mountains, I can barely walk around my apartment complex. Still, at least I can do that.
 
It so cold and nasty outside. I have to go to a meeting about Joey. ☹️ Son called and asked me to turn the water on at his house since it is so cold. He says it’s great we are getting snow, we need the water. Hmm, easy for him to say. He’s on vacation in California

I understand your opening sentiment dear kaila, but I hope you can think of us all as a small replacement for your lost friends and family.. you're very dear to us here , and we certainly care, and if you think any of us could every do anything for you, I know I certainly would, and I'm sure everyone else here would too..🧡. Happy Birthday mi chica.. 💐
 
Meeting for Joey was canceled due to the coming snow storm. Just got an alert through my phone from the national weather service, thought it was an amber alert, nope. This has never happened before in all the decades I’ve lived here.

It is a snow squall- only worst than we had the other day. Moving at 35 miles per hour and is now in Ogden Utah. We are on a mountain “bench” so it will be bad. Snow, high winds, terrible cold-supposed to be 8 degrees in the morning.

So grateful for a warm apartment and blankets; hopefully we don’t lose power. Losing power would be a disaster.

Today, my niece and her mom are coming by. My nephew was supposed to be here too, but the roads are closed up where he lives in the Reno/Tahoe area.

They're bringing sushi, after I made all sorts of munchie foods. Oh well.

Well, we didn't have sushi. We (sis-in-law and her husband) went to a really nice restaurant near my home for lunch instead. Sat out on the patio w/heaters.
They make a filet mignon meatloaf that is out of this world good!

But, this time I had a spicy thai chicken soba noodle salad......or something like that. It was very good.
Brought home left overs for tonight.
