I woke up this morning around 6am looked out my bedroom window, noticed we got a bit more snow overnight I turned on TV to watch local station,there is now a travel ban here in city of Buffalo until further notice,except for emergency personnel. I needed to get some fresh air, temp was 29 so I bundled up walked out the apt front door walked back /forth on our sidewalk a couple of times, it had been shoveled. I looked across the street at the cars parked there,it will take the owners quite awhile to dig their cars out maybe by Tues when the temps will be in the 40's
I have no plans for rest of the day,I may venture out for another walk mid morning or afternoon
Its another day in paradise!
 

Well, it's been snowing for quite some time now... Think we are supposed to get what went through Buffalo, and I believe in some areas they got five feet or more... Good thing the truck is 4x4 cuz there is a couple of Christmas Craft shows Lorie wants to go to in town... Then I will come home, and watch my Sens play New Jersey this afternoon... Have a GREAT day all

Please keep safe... and God Bless YOU and the citizens of Buffalo...
 

It's morning here at this moment. Time for brkfast, then take my cat
in for her check up at the vet, then meeting friends for coffee, then off
to the hospital for a Corti steroid injection into my left hip. (first one)
then after that saying goodbye dinner to visitors who have been here
from out of town. Then I plan to get to bed and get a goodnights sleep~

A sunny day at last! A quick nip into town to see if my new hearing aid moulds are ready - then a nice walk down t'cut to Hest Bank (Translation - The Canal)

Cut, also known as the cutting. Boaters' term for canals because they were literally cut out of the land. Most people assume that canals are of an eighteenth century construction but did you know that the Fossdyke Navigation was built by the Romans to join Lindum Colonia to the River Trent, the Fossdyke Navigation is an important waterway leading west out of Lincoln. The canal has been used to transport cargo for almost 2000 years, including the stone used to build Lincoln Cathedral in the 11th century. Nor are canals history, just as The Fossdyke is all but 2000 years old, the newest canal in the UK is the Ribble Link, which opened in 2002.
 
Just barely below 0 this morning. Neither the dog nor I spent more time than necessary out side this morning. Doing another round of teaching the dog and cat to get along, which is always filled with excitement. Hung and wired in a large air filter cabinet from the ceiling of the welding shop. Will give it a test today when I sand, and prep the welding cart for paint.
 
Heading to the Watch Site to meet up with friends and watch our College Football team play.
We are underdogs once again, but there is always hope.

Another season without a chance to go to a Bowl game, this makes 6 seasons in a row without a
bowl game!

Those who follow College football can understand how that feels.
 
Had baby grandson (who's now over 20 lbs) Tu-Wed-Thu. He's nearly walking but often wants to be carried, nearly always by me rather than my husband. DH has back and shoulder issues so it could be that the baby is used to me being the one who picks him up.

I'm beginning to have lower back problems that are no doubt exacerbated by toting around my sweet little pumpkin. Then yesterday I hit the stores early, came home, put everything away, then started making cookie dough to stash in the freezer in anticipation of Christmas baking that'll start next weekend.

It seems I did too much for too many days in a row and my back protested loudly yesterday afternoon. Couldn't relieve the pain with naproxen or ibuprofen so I turned to 1/3 of a Vicodin from an old prescription. That did the trick.

Although my back feels fine this morning (nearly 10 AM), it'll be a very light-duty day for me. Tomorrow is time enough for making up more cookie dough.

Not sure what I will be doing today. It probably involves keeping my legs up. So might end up watching videos or movies and a bit of reading. I have such a hard time staying down but must keep my legs up. I will try........

My daily routine revolves around, well, a few things, but one of them is having my legs horizontal throughout the day. An hour here, 20 minutes there.

This afternoon I'm meeting my local language partner. He's a nice, intelligent person, and this constitutes my entire social life.

As I've mentioned repeatedly, I've been pretty lazy lately. I'm using recent illness as an excuse. But truth be told, if I could get away with just moping around and reading every day, I would.

Of course, I'd rather do adventurous things, but they're not in the cards these days. Various constraints such as health and finances.
 
I've done more household chores, changed cabinet door handles in the kitchen, back online again (it's addictive) when taking a break.
Now, I'll put my feet up and finish my book, then later pick up two friends for a dinner out and a glass of wine. Yes, I said it...wine. 'Cuz I deserve it!

Maybe try some small things, short walks, some slow easy yoga movements, an at the table hobby. We all need to keep moving when possible. The alternative is not good.

Thank you. I do exercise every day (except for the past few days), and I have constructive pastimes.

It is about staving off the "alternative." Hard to find something truly rewarding though.
 
Baked ham for lunch.
Have walked the dog 3 times.
He doesn't like the cold & snow.........BUT

Yesterday I took him out to toss him the new Frisbee.
He had fun.
New Frisbee has a ribbed edge & center is concave.
Holds the snow,, he got face & mouth full of snow.
Wanted to take it inside to play with.
Sorry that's an out side toy, had to put it away.

Love your avatar. You are so pretty, with gorgeous skin.
 
I'm happy to report I'm having a better day then yesterday when I made my rant. I guess I needed to get that out. I've decided I'm going to call my brother on Thanksgiving when he is in Texas with our family. I hope I remember .....lol....never know what I will remember and won't. I guess I should write it down.

I went shopping today and got a sweet potato pie and some whipped cream for Thanksgiving. I just may make cheese turkey burgers for Thanksgiving. I also got some fresh green beans. I'm going to make some soon for doggie and save the rest for next Thursday. I think they will be okay. Or maybe I should make some and freeze them. I think you cook for a few minutes then freeze.

Right now I'm washing a load of laundry. I was running out of wash cloths so I'm washing them. I must have 75 of them. I never wanted to run out of them! Also listening to one of my playlists on YouTube Premium. I really like the playlists they make me.

I also bought some tortellini salad. I don't know what it's about tortellini but I love it. I don't eat it everyday but Thursday I had Fettuccini Alfredo with chicken and tortellini. They make it so tasty where I get my delivery from. It was so good I ate a ton of it.

When I came home from grocery shopping this afternoon Suzy was barking at me and Jasmine was making a racket too. I guess they were glad I was back home. Really made me feel good! Nice to feel wanted and appreciated!

Have a good night everyone!

Personally being a narrowboat owner ( well o/h owns the boat), I know the history of the British waterways Canal network
