Rain stopped this morning but it's chilly and overcast. Dreary.
Doggie sleeping by my side on the couch.
I cleaned out the fridge, took out the trash and cooked chicken gizzards and hearts for Doggie. Ran them through the food processor. She was very happy!
Will put some salmon and asparagus in the oven for supper later. I should throw a load of laundry in, eh.

Snowy and icy out..so staying in. Took time earlier to go over monthly expenses and my budget. Decided to cut some expenses . Chose to cancel Netflix. For what I pay, I do not watch it enough. I get enough good TV from Prime and Hulu. Also cut the Paramount network , I get enough off The above mentioned and Peacock (which does NBC shows.) NBC used to have their shows on HULU, but moved to their own network.

Like @NorthernLight, I’m experiencing SAD. Dismal days, extreme very cold and I hate walking in the wind. If it were just for today, I’d cheat and not go. Will have to make myself. Brrr.
Spent the morning clearing out old emails. It’s so darn easy to file them and forget. Feel better after doing that.
Next up is reorganizing the freezer. I’ve had an apple crumble pie stored in there for a couple of weeks. Yummy.

@Jules Not me for sure! It's the same song day after day. After her morning greeting of "I'm sooo tired" and "I'm in sooo much pain" then it's on to the saga of her love life and then being treated to her loud (and uncensored) phone conversations. Ugh. To hear her tell it, there are men lined up waiting for her to choose them.
BTW, if you feel like you have to walk in the cold and wind, having your ears covered helps a lot. Actually, cover your whole head, but for sure your ears.

That reminds me, I must defrost the little freezer . The fridge is frost free, but the little freezer is not... ironically my Huge freezer in the barn is Frost free..lol
Anyway I'm with anyone who hates the wind. I can cope with almost any weather, but wind. I detest it. Don't go out in it unless I have to and when I do I wrap up like a mummy against it, particualrly my ears and head..because the wind gives me a headache!

Oh, GG. If you saw how I bundle up, you’d wonder who this eccentric old lady was walking down the street. My husband who never comments on anything has started acknowledging my strange hats. Last year I bought a man’s hat that has ear flaps that come down. This year I found one that also snaps under the chin. He did comment on the ‘bunny‘ ears on it. I hadn’t noticed because I don’t look in the mirror before leaving the house. He was right. I have no idea what purpose they serve other than making me look weird. I’ll still continue wearing them.

Watching it snow. Just now picking up in intensity and size of flakes. Glad i don't need to drive today as there have been snow squalls and it is bitter cold out there.

Very smart and fortunate doggie of yours!
And that baked salmon and asparagus, sounds great to me, but I will have mine without the added topping of laundry, please!
We got lucky and found a rental car, SUV.

SAD……is a very unkind disorder……have had it for many years……used to use a SAD light, till it became of no use to me anymore.
Yes, our winters are long, with very little sun at times.
Sun is my #1 fix for me.
Whether it be spring, summer, fall, winter……cloudy, dreary days are hard…..but…..look out when the sun comes out !!!!!!
.Yes, he said last night when I called him that he ached all over. Today though, he says he feels better. He is half owner so we need him to deal with ICBC (otherwise known as ikybikie) along with his dad! DH thought he was gonna send DS alone, but DS dug his heels in and insisted that DH go with him.

Thank you, @MickaC . I just canceled tonight's trivia game. This also meant notifying my cohost.
I've known for many years that things fall by the wayside in the winter, and I shouldn't begin anything new in January or February. At this latitude I think my SAD lasts until April. It did last year anyway.
Well, yesterday evening, I started attending book club. Maybe I'm paying the price today. I usually seem "fine," so it's hard to know when to say no.
I don't think SAD lights work for me either. I'm really beginning to think I need to spend winters in the tropics. The money aspect is daunting, but maybe I can't afford NOT to go....

Just been preparing clothes with no zippers or metal parts to wear tomorrow,so that I don't have to strip off for my MRI . I have to remember not to wear a watch or jewellery either ... that 's something I usually forget.. . I remember once getting an MRI, they asked me did I have any metal including my underwear, I said no... so they said that's fine you can get scanned with your clothes on.. . They'd just started moving the scanning bed with me on it when there was an almighty banging, and nurses scrambling to stop the machine.. The culprit was a Hair band in my pocket which had a tiny metal tag on it.. *sheesh!

Wintering in a nicer climate would probably be a very big plus for you…..and me …..and others……but…..sadly it comes at a very high price.
Keep doing what you can that helps.

I don't know anything about cars....Dio does. He will weigh all of the variables and pick a good one. He knows his stuff! Comfort, gas mileage, etc. I'm just resisting change, and feel like complaining!
That's a good strategy for car-shopping, Trila!
(Seriously though, I hope you will continue to be fussy, until hopefully you will find one that you will enjoy having next!

Snowed yesterday afternoon and during the night. The snow removal guy was here at 3. Good thing I was already up because he is very noisy. I am surprised anyone can sleep. For now, just having coffee and adding things to my list for today. I didn't get as much done yesterday since I had 3 different visitors. I don't mind so much but it does get me behind (then I remind myself that it is not a job and I do not have to answer to anyone. So I can take as long as I need or even wait till tomorrow).
Hope you all have a nice day!

Sunny morning.. altho' the sky looks a little heavy. 43 deg..I have an MRI scheduled for later today, hospital is in the next county... . Really , really don't want to go. It's not that I hate the procedure, but I just don't feel up to going out today...

Something similar happened to my wife's sister. She thought that the white clips of her bra were plastic, not so. She said the noise and panic were similar to that which you described. It didn't help when her other half produced a poster for the musical: "Half a Sixpence." It depicted the song: "Flash, Bang, Wallop what a picture!" The family still laugh but it was serious.They'd just started moving the scanning bed with me on it when there was an almighty banging, and nurses scrambling to stop the machine..

It's been a busy week, we had a lovely evening on Tuesday, friends had invited us to a pancake meal, it being Shrove Tuesday. Savoury pancakes followed by dessert pancakes, a glass of wine and then two hours of small talk in convivial company, wonderful!
Yesterday I spent twelve hours at work, it was one of those situations that called for all hands to the pump. I actually enjoyed it, when a monumental error is turned around, put right and goodwill maintained, it can be deeply satisfying.
Today we shall choose our outfits for Saturday and probably change our minds at least twice. This is where we are off to, what a couple of geriatric old rock & rollers we are!

Good morning. Toay's a day off, and if I had bedding plants we know where I'd be 
Gonna do some laundry today and just sit around, I guess.
@hollydolly Have you got your computer sorted yet or found someone who'll come to your house to do it?

[
....was wondering if you could do my laundry as well. That knee ache from yesterday is still nagging.
I did some work on my tax return yesterday but writing without thumb is not easy so will have to get friend to fill in numbers for me.
I know I owe the Feds and still to do the Provincial.
Too scared to do it on line with fumbly fingers hitting wrong keys on keyboard.
Locked myself out of my account twice already and it is a real chore to get back on line with the Govt. again.
I don't mind doing manually it as it gives my brain something different to do.
So we are all seized up in winter again here. Schools closed, flights cancelled , trees down, etc .,etc.........
Oh how I hate the month of February
roll on spring
