I was going to have a relaxing day.....file my feet, clip my toenails, trim Micki's and Noah's hair on their feet, of course before all that, do my floors as usual.
BUT......
I know.....here's that broken record again.....it's snowing AGAIN.....it's been snowing everyday for two weeks.
Was proud of myself yesterday, got all the shovelling caught up in the back.....will have the driveway cleared tomorrow or Tuesday.
Asked google nest if it was going to snow today......said no.....just snow showers.....SNOW SHOWERS.....what's that 🤪😜😒
So.....
The snow shovel and i will be spending the day together....again.

Sorry for the ranting....
I know many of you are dealing with bad weather as well.

Recent conversation with Joey “ Mom. Why did you make my ears so small. I can’t keep my mask on?”. 😳. Me. “I did not make you. I adopted you. Some body else made you”. Joey “Oh? I need to talk to my doctor”. Me. “Why?” Joey. “He needs to make my ears bigger. 🙄😮 😂

This problem was solved by the N95 masks. These masks go around his head which I thought, silly me, would be a problem. Nope, not so. Joey is thrilled, “Mom, they don’t hook on my ears.” 😊

On another subject, today I am 75 percent done with my pictures. They have been sorted, placed in albums, and given out to the children. Now I just need to do the same with the 100 to 50 year old photos. In order to copy these and ensure my oldest’s two get copies of them all, I need a printer/copier.

Hmm, been saving my money so today I bought a new computer, a new computer screen, and a new very simple printer at Costco-all were on sale. A Legion gaming computer with a good graphics card so I can play my game. Called my son. Dang it, he’s out hiking with his SO.

Went to find the thingy that I need to access the game, 🤬, it’s missing. OMGOSH i just spent hours yesterday looking for my diabetic “reader” which went missing and did not find it for several hours. Found the reader under a curtain. Hmm. STELLA! Bad dog.

But no thingy. Two hours later, last place I looked, there it was. Which was good, cause that was the last place I could look. But son is out of town 🥺. Life is so hard.

Oh, I am so happy with new computer. Son came over yesterday afternoon to put it all together. It was great because it took him several hours as there was an issue with the printer and he was determined to get it done. We can now print pictures off our phone. YAY.

This will let me take a picture, on the phone, of an old picture and print it off. It will also let me print pictures of the great grandchildren and vacations, so much easier. It took two hours to get this to work as the program kept getting hung up.

I forgot to buy speakers, ugh. Necessary for my game, of course. His SO had some nice speakers with a woofer that he said I needed. She wasn’t using them as she bought new ones so she gave them to me-although I offered to pay. She is so great! He had to drive to her place to get them.

Anyway, World of Warcraft, played it for about 12 years now. Only game I play. With the new Covid variety, we are once again staying in more, ugh, so now it’s nice to have my game again.
 
This morning I was awaken by the snow plow at 5am, got up looked outside my bedrm window, didn't look bad. It was lightly snowing,went back to bed. I got up around 6:15,got dressed took my 1st walk out into 'winter wonderland.'I was wearing my other winter boots that come over my ankles,temp was 26.I didn't walk far since the sidewalk in front of our building wasn't shoveled,but the driveway was{it drives my crazy they don't shovel both at same time} I'd say we have 8 inches of snow
This morning will be calling Canopy of Neighbors members to see how they are. My other plans for the day take another walk,read NYT,my book. This evening watch on Food Network,"Kids Baking Championship, try to watch matches on ESPN at Australian Open
 
So far I've eaten two pieces of avocado toast, had coffee, made the bed, dressed, cleaned Maggiecat's litter box, and...wait for it...scrubbed the bathroom floor. Yup. Usually it just gets a quick wipe, but this morning it got scrubbed and the baseboards scrubbed as well. What's come over me? I dusted just the other day, too! Can you even imagine? Dusted!

It's colder than a brass statue here this morning. The weather "situation" described by the local weatherman was nothing much in our area. The sNOwflakes didn't stick, the wind blew the streets dry in most places so very little black ice. Yawn.

DD and I are going to do our weekly Walmarting after dropping DGD off at work at noon. We're hoping that people are too scared of the black-ice-that-didn't-happen to go out so that there won't be a horde of shoppers.

Again...I scrubbed the bathroom floor including the baseboards. Mark your calendars for this is indeed a red-letter day.

BTW, @Trila, the pictures are gorgeous. I like looking at sNOw pix, I just don't like being in sNOw pix

I'm happy for you, and totally understand how important it is to have your game available!

I have played a variety of different types of games, and I used to have 10-11 of them on my tablet. Although I have heard of WoW, I have never played it....I don't care for that type of game, myself. However, I am totally addicted to a game called Gummy Drop. I have gotten rid of all of my other games, and now, like you, it is the only one that I play. And play, and play! 😁

Good luck....happy gaming!

Your cleaning today has become a National Holiday! Schools & offices closed, etc! Yea!!!
 
Taking booster this afternoon. Cleaning up after cats. Buffy is not allowed to be in litter, so I had to replace litter with torn papers so Max poops & pees on the floor now.

I give Buffy her meds in canned food------thanks to you all and your suggestions, a special shout out to (((@StarSong)))!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Glorious sunny day and I had intended going out, but it's so cold, I'm going to just stay home..

I've washed up..and vacc'd through the house, and had a little lunch ( @Pinky , just so you know I've eaten something more than a banana) 🧡... .

Got a new keyboard connected onto my Mac, and also the new Operating system downloaded on Saturday... , and I've also taken off all my photos on my old Toshiba Windows laptop and stored them on a USB hub.. in case the laptop goes wrong.. which it did last month for the first time in it's 14 year old history.. it's heavy now and slow compared to modern laptops, but it's still very much useful,.. and as I barely use it unless I'm taking it away from home, I see no reason to get a new one yet, but I don;t want to lose the photos on there if it does have to end up being factory reset...

This is it in 2009..you can tell it's age with one of my old Blackberry's in the pic as well...

This is it in 2020...

I'm doing the same thing I did the last two days- waiting for Amazon delivery. Hasn't arrived yet.
Yesterday the truck was kitty-corner across the street, around 30 feet from my door, but the driver turned around and took the packages back to the "carrier facility."

Where does the Amazon tracking show your package and when expected? It might have been delivered to the wrong address.

Yesterday, the little map on my account page showed its location, and I could see the truck from my door. As the packages are somewhat heavy, I didn't think I should walk down there and try to bring them back myself. A couple of minutes after the guy drove away, the map disappeared, and I learned the packages were returned to the facility later that evening.
Hopefully better luck today, but the map hasn't come up yet.

that has happened to me a couple of times. I watch the map , it says the driver is 2 stops away ( by which time I can see him from an upstairs window).. then I watch in disbelief as he drives right past my house.... :rolleyes:

I'm just hoping all 3 packages are delivered together... although they're listed at different delivery times.
