February 2020 ~ Tell Us About Your Day...

Well, we've had three days of snow this last week. Last night, it was snowing when we went out to dinner. Actually, it was snowing fairly hard and also hard to see the division lines in the streets. I drove and we made it fine. Really surprised at how many folks were at this Mexican Restaurant. But, mostly Millennials, will go out to eat even when it's snowing like it was. Good meal and drove home a different way, where snow ploughs had gone down.

The snow has finally stopped!

We have over a foot of fresh snow and the main roads are open, a wonderful winter weekend for the skiers.

Temperatures are expected to climb into the 40s with rain in the forecast for Monday, people will be shoveling rooftops this weekend too!

I'm sitting by the window with a hot cup of coffee listening to the hum of the snowblowers.

Good Morning! Today I am doing laundry, cleaning Rabbit's cage and venturing outside (I think) to take my garbage to the dumpster. It is still snowing lightly, so not sure if I will do that or not. I just sold a couple of books on the marketplace on Facebook, so met that woman downstairs. She paid me with two rolls of dimes, I am not fussy, money is money.
 
Glorious sunny Saturday albeit very cold. Drove over to one of the nearest towns to collect a watch for hubs, then had a little wander , picked up some groceries , 6 nations rugby match was on today so the stores were fairly empty for a Saturday, which suited us fine , especially when on the way home we stopped off at the usually very busy pub which has beautiful views over our area .

There was hardly anyone there ( not a pub with sports TV ).. but we didn't stay long because it was getting dark and the drive home is all through unlit country roads... ..
Nice to get out tho'... because heavy rain and storms are expected for tomorrow...
 
Just discovered this thread, late in the game. Holly, I'm sorry you've been ailing, and hope all goes well with your tests.

I had a nice day today. In the morning, I conducted auditions for a show I am directing next month, A Touch of Ireland. Had a lot of very talented people, and we had a terrific time amusing each other. I think the show will be great. (Had another audition Thursday evening, a total of 19 singers showed up for both auditions, plus about a dozen dancers, plus a band of musicians who want to play. Not bad for a bunch of old geezers in a retirement community!)

This afternoon I played rummicub for a couple of hours, then went home and had a nap.

After that, I booked two tickets for me and my daughter at Ford's Theatre in May, to see Guys and Dolls for her birthday. A nice day, all around.

I love this picture....It reminds me of a place we use to go in Bear Mountain.....
 
It's almost 3pm and I've done literally nothing except have a shower, make tea, lunch, and sit on the computer .

We've got a really hard storm going on currently..90mph winds, torrential rain, quite a bit of damage country wide... fortunately no damage here on my property , at least not yet, touch wood... but the wind howling down the chimney is like something out of the tempest... :eek:🌬💨⛈☔
 
Today it is snowing and it doesn't usually worry me, except when I am going somewhere. Today, I am going to my bf's house. He is picking me up. He lives about 45 minutes away in the country. We spend most Sundays at his house. Today is the NASCAR Busch Clash on television and that is what we are going to be doing. He has been making a special dinner for us, pot roast and vegetables is all I know. He has 3 little dogs and 1 parrot (he had 2 but the one I was really attached to died a few months back). So a kind of noisy day for me, but I figure it is good for me to get out in the world. He is a good driver, used to be an over the road truck driver and a dirt track racer, so I don't worry too bad when he is driving me in bad weather.

I hope you all have a nice Sunday!
 
Aunt Bea, that pic of the roof slides was a hoot, really funny. Kind of wondering if it could be dangerous though.

I am off to the doc this morning, overnight a lump the size of a nickel appeared on my hand, insect bite maybe....weird
 
If it's a spider bite, your doc may not know the best treatment: Topical Nitroglycerin, NOT pills, needs to be applied to the bite, ASAP. The reason you get horrible tissue necrosis with Recluse Spider bites is that the venom is a vasoconstrictor. It keeps your immune system out of the area. Nitro dilates the capillaries and veins, promoting bloodflow, thus allowing your immune system to do its thing. Get the spray or pads.

I know about the above since we tree workers share our trade secrets among our own. I've seen amazing before and after pics of spider bites sustained OTJ: The nitro ones are clean. Absent the nitro, horrible!

This works for other spider bites, as well. Your results may vary. Talk it over with your MD.

Best of luck. Hopefully you don't have a spider bite.
 
Good Morning! I had a really good day yesterday watching the race at my bf's. Today I am doing my laundry. Then some organizing and cleaning. I have my most energy in the morning and after my coffee. So I do the most physical ones first, like the laundry. Then the other ones I can do little by little through out the day.
 
Exercise, some outdoor trimming and working on changing auto insurances. Thinking about what to fix us for dinner. Hmmm. Hey, what do I expect, after all it is a "Monday"...lol. Just be grateful for your life (coffee and wine).
 
The temps have warmed and the streets are sloppy with slush.

I went out and picked up enough groceries to get through the next little bout of snow.

Fixed a small pot of beans and a cucumber/onion salad.

I made an appointment to get my annual vehicle inspection and semi-annual oil change. I wish the inspections were based on the odometer readings I've only driven about 3,800 miles since the last one.

The next project is trying to get the various power cords, charger cords, surge protectors, etc... organized so it isn't a constant tangle around the little card table that I use as my command center.
