After breakfast will go up to car, which i parked near road. Clean off overnite snow (looks like 6-8 inches) even tho still snowing will be less to remove tomorrow. Daughter stayed at work last night, good thing cause housekeeper can't make it in due to weather so she'll have to do that job and hopefully get some down time before her 2pm Manager shift starts.

On the upside most of the guests will probably stay another night and so there won't be many vacants, which require much more work. Often the 'overs' (extended stay folks) just need fresh towels, toiletries and coffee packets.

So far we haven't lost power. Not sure how wet a snow it is, that makes a difference. And just hearing 1st snowplow now i think.

Packing up around 150lbs of tools in flat rate boxes, and my luggage for my trip back home. Have been selling off everything that is too big to ship. Amazing how much stuff one accumulates over 20 yrs of winters. Leaving here Friday, and flying out of San Juan Saturday morning for perhaps the last time. My wife is staying on until the house sells. The market has really picked up here, so hopefully it will sell soon. A little bit sad, but happy to be moving on to new things, and one less thing to take care of. Mike

Our winter weather was supposed to start at 1:00 pm yesterday...we got nothing! Yea!!!! Right now, there is a light drizzle/mist coming down, with falling temps.....but 99% of the bad weather is passing just North of us! 😁
 

Thanks for everyone“s concern. I will be off for a while still.

Stella is taking a lot of my time as she is very unhappy about her “collar of shame”. She eats a little everyday but has to be hand fed and she will only drink once a day and not much.

She weighted 5 pounds and 4 ounces at the vets and has lost weight since the operation. She sleeps almost all day and won’t play or interact. She seems depressed as opposed to being in a lot of pain. The collar comes off Friday.

Husband is still seeing doctors and getting tests. He says he will refused to have surgery. Whatever.

My totally disabled son-I still can’t see him. Covid is still at the group home and I assume he still has it.

Ive had to have a lot of interaction with Joeys caretakers, Ugh.

I am fine. I will be back more in another week-I hope. I miss being here but everything else is taking up my time

@Aneeda72 - Take care of you and family first, always. Everything seems to happen all at once. Glad to hear you are fine. Thanks for letting us know the situation with family, and hope they all come through fine in the end. Poor little Stella. Maybe a donut collar would be more comfy, but it's only 2 more days.

Safe Travels, Mike. Let us know how you are doing. Kaila
 
Stopped by my daughter’s apartment to drop off some stuff before heading back to Americus. Older granddaughter, nine years old, took me upstairs to show me her room. We sat on the bed for a few min and talked. Then I said “I have to go,” gave her a hug and went out on the landing. Her voice followed me, “do you need help going down the stairs?” Lol, no not quite that decrepit yet!
 
After a brief respite, it's starting to snow again. We'll probably have well over a foot by mid morning tomorrow. So, it should be another stay indoors day.
I did my taxes today....should get a fairly good refund.....both Fed and State. I'll sleep on it, then double check everything in the morning, and if it looks ok, I'll E-file.
 
Today I've not got anything planned. I was going to re-pot my jade plan, but the soil is too damp, it's a plant that needs to be thoroughly dry before re-potting. It's 51 deg today albeit dry, dull and grim looking, and it feels colder than it should.

I'm going to change my bed today and put on a new mattress topper and some new silk pillowcases..

Got all the tops of the doors throughout the house cleaned, it's amazing how dirty they get when left for a while..I was surprised. Gonna clean the bedroom ceiling fans shortly too..


Today I'm not expecting any deliveries or visitors so I've not got changed out of my kaftan... .

Last night I fell asleep sitting on the sofa at between 5-7pm.. that's usually fatal for me.. and would mean I wouldn't be able to sleep until the next day.. so I was shocked when I fell asleep watching tv again at 11pm, and woke up at 1am... 🥱..that never happens unless I'm sickening for something.. . I did stay up until around 3am.. but then slept again until 8.30...



Not got the heating on..yet, but I might turn it on for an hour to warm up the house a little..then after my cleaning fest I should have warmed up enough to turn it off again until tonight ..😄

Today I'm taking down a notch to recoup from yesterday. Today I'll load and run the dishwasher, catch up on social networking and watch some T.V. Yesterday was a much more exciting day, so here's what I did. I got up and got myself ready to go to IHOP by 8 a.m. for my youngest grandson's 17th birthday. Before we got a chance to order, there was an altercation inside the restaurant which seemed to be escalating. My Honorary Daughter (grandson's mother) called 911, then ran out to see where my grandson and her oldest child (my Honorary Granddaughter) who were parking the car, were in relationship to entering the restaurant. The cops got there fairly quickly (they sent 3 patrol cars) and an ambulance came. I was afraid someone might pull out a gun (you never know these days), so I told my middle grandson not to advance toward the chaos. He had already called one of my Honorary Sons who we'd just talked with a took photos with. He is a security guard in the mall where the restaurant is located.

I don't know if they took anyone away but I was told that the man who complained that the one he was getting ready to rough up had stolen money from him, absconded. The accused man stuck around. So one has to wonder what the real story was there. Anyway, we had a delightful breakfast, a fantastic waitress and lots of family love. We even got to dance a little bit...the waitress joined in. That IHOP always has great music playing. My son wasn't able to be with us because he had missed so many days of work due to being sick with COVID then his wife passing. He took my grandson out for a birthday dinner later.

After we left, my middle grandson took the birthday boy to school and me to pick up my prescriptions. We got lost in the parking garage because the elevator we took earlier wouldn't go to that floor so we had to look for the other elevator on the other side. The garage is huge and confusing. After picking up my meds, I had to help my grandson with establishing his new account which just got switched over from the trust I opened for him when he was little. He left with only minutes to spare before our Senior Forum zoom meeting was scheduled. I had to take off the hot hat I was wearing and figure out what scarf to wear and how to wrap it, so I joined in a bit late. The meeting was a blast! I didn't expect to be uncomfortable but I also didn't expect to feel SO comfortable!! I enjoyed it so much @Medusa. Thank you again! And I enjoyed meeting @Ronni @Alligatorob @old medic and @Chris P Bacon and of course, Medusa . I am looking forward to the next one. @Pecos

..missed you!
 
We had just a little bit of freezing rain yesterday. Right now, it's snowing and 16°. High today is expected to be 22°, going down to 12°. Tomorrow's high 33°, and going down to 3° (yikes!)....after that, we will be in the 50's. Winter will probably be over for us. ❄❄❄❄❄ (hopefully!). Until then, I'm planning on doing some heavy-duty hibernating! Andy know how to deal with these conditions.....IMG_20220203_071323_kindlephoto-52423671.jpg
 
Well, I've got all my jobs done that I'd planned, the new bedding is on, the ceiling fans is washed and polished .. gotta catch up with a few little chores yet..but otherwise I'm finished for the day...

Planning on going to see a friend tomorrow 2 counties away if the weather stays decent.. it's only around 35 miles away.. but the traffic on that motorway is notoriously jammed solid with traffic , ( M25 Clockwise , for the Brits on here , going to Dartford) so it can potentially take much, much longer.. so I'll wait and see in the morning , whether I'll go tomorrow or leave it 'till the weekend..

Been putting all my new clothes away that I bought at my huge shopping haul a few days ago....and I've filled a really big sack with clothes to go to the charity shop.. all of which are in prefect condition, but I've outgrown them over this last Covid fat year... so I'll get them dropped off at the Charity shop within the next few days..
 
I am just resting today. Dealing with a severe migraine which I get quite often as I suffer from chronic migraines. I will relax on the couch watching the beginning of the Winter Olympics today and my youngest daughter and husband once they get home from work will deal with dinner tonight.
