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.

I LOVE meatloaf.

Stay warm Aneeda.
Do you fill bottles with extra water put in fridge freezer?

Well, no. It is snowing so water will not be a problem. Although one must remember- do not eat the yellow snow. There are so many dogs in this complex. 😂

But I have plenty of root beer to drown my sorrows with. I thought Stella was going to freeze when I put her out to potty. Didn’t take her long to pee. 😂. I did have to add an extra blanket to my recliner.

Yesterday we had our early Christmas with "the soul daughter and granddaughter".
Lots of fun and one of those years where the gifts were scary perfect and no one
had to go to the ER...lol:

The picture of the tree is my Gardenia bush that we grew from a little bouquet start 3 years ago. There are blooming Gardenias on it so I made it our official Christmas tree this year!

Well, yesterday we never made it to the clubhouse because my wife fell and broke her wrist. So we spent Christmas and our anniversary in the hospital. They gave my wife morphine and had to hand set her bones in her wrist. So awful painful. I’m glad it’s over and she is home where I can help her get things done.

I'm sorry for your wife's fall. I've had a broken wrists, so I understand how painful it is. Please give her a hug for me, and tell her that I hope she heals up fast! 💕💕💕💕

@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.

I've always been a fan of the heated mattress pad. As long as your comfortable and sleep well....that's what matters!

Oh,my God, I have been wanting to buy this for so long now. You have made up my mind to start the New Year off right.
Thank you for posting. Nit knowing what weight to buy into.
 
I'm not sure when my days start and end anymore! I've been sleeping a lot during the daylight hours, like yesterday (it's now 2:15 a.m.) and wind up being up in the middle of the night, like now. I had a snack, took my medicine about an hour ago. I continued watching Amtrak travel videos. I'm really getting into those. There are three different people (really 4, a group of videos is by a couple). I guess right now I'm living vicariously through them. I'm particularly interested in the roomettes, their set ups and amenities (all meals & beverages are included). Once I'm fully vaccinated, I may reconsider taking my trip to Tampa to visit my honorary son and his fiance, at which time I'll likely choose a roomette for extra protection against COVID.

I did some financial stuff, including applying online for a new American Express card. It offers $200 cash back after spending $1,000 within 3 months. Since they consider donations along with purchases, I'll easily reach that requirement. After I got approved, I went to the 3 credit bureaus and froze my credit again. Later on today, it's my intention to get COVID tested (again) and if they let me, take my first shot. Perhaps I'll give an update later.

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!

Sometimes it it the littlest things that can your day. Some days you have to dig to find it but it is there.

You are cared about by your friends right here. I may not know you in person or anyone else on this forum but I always look forward to what each has posted.
 
I was up at two this morning. Woke up to a bloody nose of all things! It has taken forever to get it stopped. Now I will not lay back down or sit in my recliner. I am afraid of getting another one and getting blood on the recliner. I already got it on my new nightgown. So my plan now is to drink coffee and stay still.

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.

Hope you don't get dumped on too badly.
You feel your cold at 8........our cold this morning is -26.

That happened to me Monday morning! Only I had to go out early and be out the whole day. It started again around 6pm. Residue this am. UGH. My 3 year old grandson was fascinated.

For the past hour, I've had a long piece of wire with the end bent up like a hook, trying to fish my shed key out of a deep grid outside my house. I managed to find my key and also a small (what looks like silver) chain with a little medal on it. I've got them all soaking in a hot water and a drop of bleach. 😊

Those bent wires are the handiest tools! Ever since our friends toddler dropped a Tonka bus into the toilet (full of the stinky stuff), we have called that wire a bus hook! The name has stuck! LOL
 
Well, there is no wind YAY so it has warmed up to 13 degrees and since I had to take the poopy puppy trash out, I decided to walk on the parts of the sidewalk that where clear. No ice just crunchy snow -so no slip and side and my walker did fine.

The expected snow was mostly more north so while we got the cold we only received 2-4 inches of snow which is great. I am resting and will walk again in a few minutes. I could not do all my walking yesterday due to the wind. While the wind makes it super cold, it is the wind, pushing the walker around, that makes it impossible to walk. I am going to take advantage of no wind while I can.

I am watching The Last Kingdom on Netflix for the second day in a row. I like these kinds of shows and am into the second season already. There are four. 😊

I laughed when you said "only" 2-4 inches of snow! I know that it could have been worse, but it's still too much for me! LOL

Be careful out there! ❤
 
I'm doing the same thing I do every day. I'm worried about my 11 yr old granddaughter who woke up today with stomach pains and vomiting, my grandson tested positive for the covid and I'm getting ready to go to my doctor's appointment.
