Absolutely nothing going on over here. I'm still snowed in, and doing nothing. The highlight of my day is when I watch a TV show. I've just started Castle, and I like it. So there is that, reading, and house cleaning. (YAWN!). Oh! And napping....there's napping, too!

Miserable rainy dreich day today.. I'm fed up with the forecasters I checked 3 different forecast sites yesterdaay and they all said there would be no rain.. again for the hundredth time, I wonder why meteorology is the only job where you get paid a lot to get it wrong

2025 has started out oddly for me, personally. I feel off-balance or disconnected or something. We're only 2 weeks in, but every day of the whole 2 weeks I've felt neither happy nor unhappy, grateful nor ungrateful, etc. I'm not angry or grumpy or anything, I'm just not anything.

It's kind of hard to explain. I don't know, maybe it's the weather. Well, the weather's been kind of beautiful, but I mean maybe the barometer pressure or something.

I tried reflecting on my life while meditating. I've done that a couple of times. I thought it might wake up some feels, but it didn't. Looking back, I don't feel satisfied with my life, but I don't feel at all discontent with it, either. I don't feel any particular way about it. It's just ...well, to use a couple of expressions that used to bug the hell outa me... It is what it is. Whatever. :p

I probly should talk to Michelle about it because I'm pretty sure she's picked up on it. I think she can tell something's different.
A case of cabin fever?
 
Morning follks...awake since 4am again durn it....it is 11F outside
and not going above freezing....dunno what i am up today due
to mucho pain, but will find something....could maybe start
some laundry...and got 3 bills to pay...postman finally delivered
my mail yesterday, and trash co finaly picked up after a week
delay....oh well, just grateful i don't have to work in this frigid
weather....take care all....luv ya.....;):love::coffee:
Clean laundry is something to look forward to. I started this side business of mine at 7:00 not knowing when the tile guys will turn the water off today. I made it with a minute to spare!
 
Geothermal is in. Amen to that!
Bathroom is not going as SO wants it to. He is getting a bit edgy. It will all be fine.
I cannot get through to Social Security. Still 120 minute hold announcement. So we will have to drive to Oklahoma City.
Sleeping all twisted up because of my messed up ribs made my old and dear friend sciatica pay me a visit.
Kitchen play time and messing around with a new bread recipe.
I should iron. Should, should?
 
I've been out and about and back home again. I gotta gather my wits because they got scattered all over the place while we were out. Not to worry, none got left behind. They're just in grocery sacks and jacket pockets and stuff.

Getting my Self ready to make meatball soup for supper tonight. It's better after being simmered for a few hours, which is why I'm gonna throw it together now.

Much of the country is in a deep freeze. So, I am sending you a few flowers from my wife's garden, taken this morning,
to make you smile again. On the flipside, though, I haven't measured any rain at our house since last April. Most of the
water we are using is imported from Northern California and the Colorado River.

Is that like the Italian Wedding soup with escarole, carrot, celery, chick broth and tiny soup-mac? I haven't made that in awhile.
Nope. I use the by-guess-and-by-golly method. Meatballs, of course, and whatever else I have on hand. Today's veggies happen to be a package of cole slaw mix (cabbage and carrots), chopped onion, minced garlic and a can of diced tomatoes. There's a quart of veggie broth and a quart of V-8 juice. About five minutes before time to eat, I'll throw in a package of 3-cheese tortellini. It'll probably need more V8 juice.

Last time, I had some fresh spinach so chopped that up in threw it in the pot. Obviously, it's never the same twice.
 
Has something major changed for you or is it a New Year's case of the walking codwallops temporarily putting you off your feed?

A case of cabin fever?

I don't know what's going on. I still do my day-2-day stuff, feed the cats, clean house, and all that; I just feel like I don't care about anything anymore. And I don't care that I don't care.

I'm just gonna ride it out and see what happens. Maybe it's just a slump.
 
Are you taking medication which could make you feel this way?
I've been taking the same medication for 10 years, so I doubt that's the cause.
You had a difficult time last year with the illness and loss of your sister, the concerns over Paxton and your own health problems. It's a lot to process and would be understandable if you were a bit numb to life and the day-to-day stuff. Hopefully it will pass soon but, in the meantime, are you able to plan a trip or a family get together or just a nice day for you and Mish to enjoy?
Thank you, Trish.

Give yourself one more day of pity party then get your hair done, shop for a new shirt and two quarts of ice cream.

FYI: I'm fine, not gloomy at all....just a bit on the bored side! 😉
 
@OneEyedDiva You dusted, too? Geez. The least you could have done is truck on over here and done mine! I did vacuum but am still cogitating (Bugs Bunny's word) on dusting. Maybe appoint a committee to take it under advisement.

It's gonna be a chilly but sunny day.

DD said she'd take me to the credit union to "buy" some cash and to Aldi this morning. Aldi has The. Best. meatballs, and I want to get some to make meatball soup.

I gotta eat breakfast and do morning stuff.
"You dusted, too? Geez. The least you could have done is truck on over here and done mine! I did vacuum but am still cogitating (Bugs Bunny's word) on dusting. Maybe appoint a committee to take it under advisement."

Are you kidding?! I was hoping you'd come on up here and help me clean! :ROFLMAO: Maybe it's time we both hire cleaning ladies (or men). Speaking of credit union...my son is supposed to take me to our credit union so I can use the machine that gives you bills for coins. I have coin wrappers, but don't feel like doing it this time. He got $85 and change. considering the small fee that's charged. He could do it for me but I want to see how the machine works. That'll be my excitement for the day. :LOL:

This morning, I rotated some cat stock to make room for Deja's new order that my son brought home today (I have it sent to his job). I'll put that stuff away tonight...maybe. :) Gotta load and run the dishwasher too....not my favorite chore. I mostly napped, played games and watched T.V. today.
