What are you doing today?

Sorry I'm so introspective in my response, but my mother passed away on Tuesday. My partner had bereavement time, so today was the first day I spent by myself. I actually felt good and as though a tremendous weight had been lifted off my shoulders.

I loved my mother, and I spent 15 years driving 60 miles roundtrip to visit her once a week, and even more frequently in her last days. Today I felt "untethered" and actually felt that I could begin living my own life. I went to the gym, the grocery store and for a walk around the lake just to reflect on my life and my future. I know I will feel sad occasionally, but I can also move forward with what is remaining of my own life.
 

Trying not to be depressed. What on earth? The sun is out. The good Lord has given me another day, and I don't have to spend it making biscuits! The fact is, I have four whole days to not make biscuits before it's time to go back to the biscuit mines, and they're all supposed to be sunny days.

Furthermore, I completed and submitted all the background check info and got a message that it had been received and accepted. The only section not yet cleared is "courthouse records". That might be due to its being the weekend, but one would think all that info would be accessible 24/7 via the web.

Now to figure out why I'm feeling blue.

Think it’s long past time for me to put a string on my gloves and thread them through my coat.

Awwww, that's so cute. :giggle::D:LOL:
If we cannot find a long enough string, we could use large safety pins, to pin each of them to the bottom of your sleeves.:love:

@Paco Dennis
Loved those photos of your travels, yesterday, or maybe the day before that. :rolleyes: I have no idea why I didn't see them till today.:D

I looked out the window, and thought that the rain looked weird. It was not rain, it was snow. The kind that doesn't stick, until it did. Not much, maybe a couple of inches. I hate snow. Aidan, my dog, loves it. So for him, I am happy.

On the bright side, I did housework for 3.5 hours today. It takes me a lot longer than it used to, due to my health issues. I took breaks to eat and because of back pain. Those breaks are not counted in the 3.5 hours!
 
On my early walk around 6:30,it was 34 with a dusting of snow on the grass
This morning,taking the bus to Walgreens where I have appt to get my booster shot
The rest of my day,call Canopy of Neighbors members which I usually do Mon mornings read NYT,my book. After dinner tackle NYT daily crossword puzzle see what's on TV
 
Today its off to Krogers to pick out "the bird" for Thanksgiving. Not a lot of folks coming this year so don't need to get a big one...lol. Yesterday hub finished burning the big nut tree that had died and rudely fell over out front. DIL is always kidding him about getting a fire pit to sit out on the back deck. Sent her his pic and told her everything was bigger in Texas, even
fire pits.

Yesterday......shovelled snow.....it was heavy.
Started on the driveway, but it was too much, too heavy.
So i called a local business, left a message to clear the driveway.....i was shocked.....they came yesterday.
The town and this business worked all weekend getting people opened up.
So i went to the back, worked at the crap there.....did pathways for the guys for their jobs......used to do a large area for that, but then they would trape through the snow elsewhere.
They like the pathways better, looks like a corn maze back there.
Cleared the deck.....daughter came and did the cement patio at the bottom of the stairs......so thankful to her for that.
Have to edge the snow back on the driveway back to the grass line yet.... always hard for them to clear the first time if the grass line is buried.
Winter, snow....isn't it wonderful.
 
@MickaC I keep trying to tell people that it's not snow. It's sNOw! If you'd change that last sentence to "Christmas snow" then I'd say it's wonderful. Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, and that's plenty. I only miss it then.

It's a sunny day today and am trying to give myself a kick in the rear to go out and work in the garden. I want it all done and put to bed for the winter, just don't want to have to do it.
 
Haven't done anything yet today but yesterday I made chicken parmesan and my grandson came over for supper. I made too much and even though I sent him home with some I still have more.

My DIL's mother died in the wee hours of yesterday morning. Heart attack. I didn't find out until late yesterday afternoon. Plans are not finalized yet. My poor DIL is devastated.

On Sat. we had a huge rain storm in CT with 4 low grade tornadoes.
