@hawkdon and @ Purwell sending good mojo to both of you!

@hollydolly It's raining pitchforks and hammer handles here, too. There was thunder last night that didn't exactly wake me up...I was just sort of aware of it. According to the weatherheads, it'll all be cleared out in a couple of hours.

A day off. Dunno what I'll do with it, probably nothing very constructive. Maybe I'll dig out some warmer clothes. Or not. Maybe I'll just sit around on my dead center and eat chocolate and ice cream.

Waiting on the handy-man to come fix a faulty valve in the hot water heater... so no shower til he gets here at 1000. I've got 10,000 things I'm chafing to accomplish but I guess I'll hang out in my PJs for a while Life is hard =P

oddly..I seem to have something wrong with my hot water today... I've turned the water heating onto Boost to see if that'll do anything but if not, I'll have to call someone in to look at the boiler
 
My vision is getting a bit wonky this morning...which happens when I've spent too much time computing. Time for me to get some housekeeping chores done while I wait for news about the upcoming increase in social security.

Y'all keep your fingers crossed for a big increase. I like 💵. I like the nice green color, the nice green feel, the nice green smell, and the nice green way it looks in my bank account.

In the meantime, off to tidy up.

ETA: Also like the nice green way it spends.

Safe journey Sue...🛫✈️🛬
 
Rainy day in NW PA.
Hubby didn't sleep well,, worrying about some property we have.
He's off to see the lawyer.

Meantime I better quit 'playing' on my computer.

We picked apple last evening.
Had a 5 gallon pail full .
There are still apples on the trees!

Toying with the idea of making 'apple butter'.
I'm the only one that likes it.

Better make hubby a pie today.
 
I think Mother Nature has changed her mind of higher than normal temps…….this week so far…..cold north winds, high winds.

Made the decision to have my leaf and grass clean up, hired done, if the wind stops and drys up.
Have never hired this done, ever before……
Still trying to get over my bronchitis, which turned into pneumonia……really bad time of the year to get sick.
Think I wore myself down, with the selling, and trying to keep up with the yard, not eating properly.
So…..I am feeling better, finally.

Yesterday, had my realtor agent over, to look over, assessing, etc.
Happy with the potential list price…..need to get outdoor pics if it ever gets a brighter nice spell out there.
Officially the for sale sign goes up in early spring……but……if someone is interested in my place……I’ll allow her to show during this winter……will see how that works out.

So what I’ll do today…..turn the thermostat up, which I’ve already done…..usual morning cleaning chores…..might get a few things to the shed, if it doesn’t rain, I hate putting wet stuff in the shed……and go through more sewing and hobby inventory……still get tired easily.

Take care of yourself, @MickaC !
 
Shocking crime committed up the street from me last night.

911 call from a residence for domestic incident resulted in 2 police officers being shot to death and one critically injured. I can hardly believe it! Here, on my own road, less than 1/4 mile.

A suspect was killed and his brother injured. No other info on the residents of the home are available.

It's just terrible, those young (mid 30's) officers killed like that. The one in the hospital is only 26. Police cars from surrounding towns are taking turns keeping vigil for him outside the hospital.

I didn't hear a thing! I found out when my son texted me early this morning.
 
@RadishRose There was a shooting at a home a couple of blocks away from us in an upscale subdivision. Too darned close for comfort.

Two sheriff's deputies serving a misdemeanor warrant. A misdemeanor...post bail, go home, wait for court date. Now instead of a misdemeanor (the guy who killed the deputies wasn't even the person for whom the warrant was issued), he'll go to prison, probably for life.

If I were to hazard a guess, I'd say the shooter was high on crack or meth. It's everywhere, not just in the 'hoods.

So what am I doing? Waiting for the January 6 committee hearing. No matter what's revealed, it won't make one iota of difference.

Stuff like that causes everyone to feel violated and more vulnerable; so sorry @RadishRose ! ((Hugs))
 
I've often commented that living in a small village, I have to travel some miles to large stores. Today, we decided to do a round trip to visit all the stores to buy the goods that we can only get there. So, off to Aberdeen and Sainsburys, then north again for more shops before getting back home with the car full of food and drink. I'm hoping I don't have to do that again this year.

Made a fish pie for dinner.

I may have read something about this today.
If so, it seems it was a planned fake domestic call, and the perps ambushed the officers, resulting in 2 deaths.

What a horrible, sick minded thing to do.

Yes, you're right. I just read about the cops being lured into ambush. The suspect was thrown out of a bar earlier and went home.

"Sources close to the investigation tell NBC the suspect called 911 and waited with an AR-15-style rifle for police to arrive."

My head is still spinning. This area is considered safe. It's so close to my home.

Well, the Jan 6 committee hearing presentation was really really good. Oh the drama of the politics of the USofA. 😊

Wow……I have no words……So SORRY to hear……think maybe it was good you didn’t hear all that.
My heart goes out to the officers and their families that were killed and injured.🥺😢🥺😢🥺.
 
Getting that frig of ours fixed (hopefully). Cleaned out the defrost drain line. Was only in the low 40's today so all the food went on the screen porch. That cold weather is good for something!

To clean it out, I ended up blowing into the drain line at the bottom. Then, repeatedly poured hot water down and the gunk came out little by little. Was impossible to get anything like a wire up the entire line.
