Hello to all of you, and thank you as always, for the kindness and support.
My having less movement abilities recently, has made it more difficult to create additional plan B's, for meeting dh's needs and my own.
But I do continue to focus on positives, as much as I am able.!
I agree with what you mentioned, @Medusa
that the cold wintery temperatures, here too,
seem to have come on very suddenly and sharply.
Early mornings especially, such as those for dog walks (not me, but some of you) or for morning medical appointments, require warm layers and jackets, and nightime has become cold, and I needed extra blankets.
Is it that way as well, for those of you that are even farther north?
@Pinky @Jules @PeppermintPatty
Is anyone else north of northern USA?
Most all of the trees , here, have gone thru their magnificent colorful shows, now, and are on to either bare branches, or the golden rusty orange leaves of late Autumn.

Good Afternoon, Kaila and Friends. 
Day got away from me yesterday and I didn't make it here to Kaila's lovely thread. Things are on track today and it's a good day.
Husband is off and we will watch some PBR tonight. I think we have two nights of finals to watch. There is hockey too, but we're going to have to catch that up as we can.
Hung out on Zoom with boyfriend yesterday afternoon, which was nice.
I'm wanting to dive more into my hobbies again, sides AC, which I do love, but you know, other things. I'm thinking of making a poppet, which is what most people think of when imagining a Voodoo doll. I enjoy hand-sewing (it's peaceful and nice to do while listening to a book or music), and I think that would be a fun project. Or maybe an outfit for one of my Barbies. I don't know why I'm going into detail about it, actually. I'm sure you all appreciate being kept up on the minutia of my life. 
@Kaila, hope you got some rest over the weekend and are feeling a bit better today. But, no pressure.
Sending you good thoughts and warm vibes.
-- Oh, there you are! -Yes, agreed about layers! I am enjoying the autumn scenery, but the cold is coming on fast! What.are.ya.gonna.do? Good to "see" you, girl.
@Pam, good luck with your unfolding journey on your new laptop and Windows 11. I've found new tech to be a pain, but also kind of fun.
Wishing everyone here and nice Monday afternoon.

It’s definitely fall weather. Today it was 12 degrees so I wore a sweater over my top but ended up wrapping it around my waist while walking.
We start the fire every morning and before we go to bed. We let the fire go out during the day. Its definitely colder but nothing close to winter weather. With winter weather, we keep the Woodstove going all day long and wear our winter coats during our walks. At night our baseboard heaters kick in if it gets too cold. I’ve sensed them clicking on in the middle of the night while I get up to pee. Our heat pump manages to keep our whole house warm especially combined with the Woodstove and baseboard heaters.
Happy Monday everybody.

Thank you for that post! @PeppermintPatty
I enjoyed reading all of those interesting details you shared, about both the weather itself, and how it effects you: your walks, and your days and nights inside your home, too.

There have been a few mornings were I awoke to frost on the roofs. Daytime weather is tolerable if dressed properly - vest under a moderate weight coat, ball cap and gloves. The past couple of days the wind has been biting and made for unpleasant walking. There’s been snow in the high mountain passes.
