It's only 8°F and snowing right now, so my dog's walk is going to have to wait. We'll just play a little fetch inside and he'll be happy. And then it's lunch followed by a long nap.

It's coming up to 4pm now , it'll soon be dark... I thought about having a little nap given that it's NYD.. and nothing much else going on, but instead I'm sorting and deleting all the photos and files on my phone...
 

I've also been batch cooking and small portion freezing to clear the fridge. I hate when food spoils before I get to it. Made a bunch of calzones, some chili.

Today I'll break out the freezer bags and tightly seal most of the remaining Christmas cookies. Most afternoons I hunt around the house for a little something sweet and a couple of cookies will be just the ticket. I've been known to eat them frozen, but most are perfect after a 7 second nuke.

I'm about to settle on the couch to watch the Rose Parade. Happy New Year, everyone! Hope it's fantastic a lot better than the last two years.

After breakfast will clear snow from car and drive up to the road to see how problematic the snowplows made getting out of our driveway. Will have to get daughter to work at 2pm and home at 8:30pm.

It is 1/4 mile from house to the road. The drive is slightly inclined upwards the last few yards near road. The plows clear the rural road well but leave the snow blocking driveways. I have an ergonomic snow shovel, and i'll take buckets of cooled ash (generated by woodstove) up there as it is a good ice melt.

Luckily the storm was not as bad as predicted, so far. But if clears up as predicted or tonight the temperature will plummet to near zero, maybe below.

Well we woke up to Dry weather and a little bit of sun for the first time since before Christmas day...so this morning I set to, and got quite a bit done..

Emptied out the bird bath and cleaned that and refilled... was going to rake up some leaves, but I got caught up doing some batch cooking first... Cooked a kilo of minced beef, with diced sausages, broccoli, chickpeas, mushrooms and red onions in a beef and wine gravy.. then chilled, and set into 8 dishes for freezing...

Skinned 2 kilos of raw Chicken thighs, and bagged them into double portions and set them in the freezer..

washed up all the dishes..always loads when batch cooking.. ( I don't have a dishwasher at this house)... then vac'ed around all downstairs

Then I cleared out some clothing for donating.. and generally tidied around... ..and just as I thought about going out to rake the leaves, the rain started.. again!!.. so looks like this might be my jobs done for the day... which is a good thing now because my back is aching...

Happy new year.. everyone..

I'm very glad you got a bit of sunshine, and felt lifted up by it.(y):)
You did accomplish a lot, on that spurt of energy!
And thank you for your well wishes, too!

I am a bit concerned about, and I hope we will soon hear from @GeorgiaXplant OR @Georgiagranny (same person)

She was having trouble with her sign-in and passwords, the past week,
AND, her GD (granddaughter) sick with Covid, and herself being tested on Thursday, and I don't think we have heard from our Georgia, since then.:confused:

My husband and I have a long standing joke. Since think that goats are cute, he says that he's going to get me one....I DON'T want a goat!!!! LOL
So he does things to suggest that one is on it's way! Plus, other aspects of the same thing. For example, we have an empty field where he is (supposedly) going to put the goat. He even calls it "The Goat Field".....I call it the "Goatless" field!!!! 😁

I have to get ready to go....I hope you have a great day!

Hello Lewkat, hope you see this. I am so sorry I missed thanking you for your information about the drops. Hope you're still doing fine after your procedure. I use Hylo preservative free drops for dry eyes. Happy New Year!

You are welcome, Shero. Funny thing, my sight is; my sight in the right eye is now sharper since the procedure than in the left. I see him at the end of the month and find out why this is. Have difficulty getting the eyes to get together here for reading. Perhaps, it's just a matter of time. But I do love being able to go about without one eye constantly blurred.

I'll look into the drops you use. Refresh is just distilled water.

No plans for today outside the house..it's another grim, dull, damp day.. yesterdays' sunshine for a couple of hours is just a distant memory. Still very mild, but temps forecast to drop within the next day or so.... I don't like this grotty weather.. I want it to be either proper winter with cold and or a little snow.. before we burst into Spring...

Forgot to mention Lewkat, there is also Hylo Forte which is even more beneficial, which I use also. This product may be marketed under a different name in the US “Hycosan Extra” . They are exactly the same. I like that these are both preservative and phosphate free.

Thanks, Shero. Looked it up last evening and found both. I'll send for one of them today.
 
I took my early morning walk around 6:40,wearing boots because it was lightly snowing,didn't go far around apt complex,temp was 36
A church friend is picking me up around 9:45 going to 1 church service today at 10:30. Last wk when I was there ,a sparse crowd of 20 hopefully there will be more today,the weather could be a factor
The rest of my day read local paper,my book. If it stops snowing may go for another short walk in afternoon
