--and----- Good Morning-- All is well here--NO STORM YET--but--It was minus 18 C outside when I took the 2 boys out--(as in dogs)-Lopez wore a sweater under his coat--but, he only had bare feet to track over the ice etc-
The man of the house -HIMSELF__is at his Day Program--I took him-- took him right inside--then went for gas in the car, as I do not like the tank to get empty when it is so cold---then I swung around to the deli-- bought roast beef --then the grocery for fresh bread-- (to go with the roast beef)--
then the Public Health office at the clinic--where I picked up 2 vials to test our well water--then home I came and took out the 2 boys AGAIN--as in dogs---- What a morning---
I hear that this storm which is barreling down on us--not here yet, but to-night it will be--I hear it is packed with high winds----- and to me, that means another power outage-Lord Love a Duck!
Oh well, we will survive-- Winter is hitting us hard---making up for coming in late I guess---Good thing that we really are strong-
I must carry on --- Sadie, that cleaning Lady, of course will not get here------ She will have to "button down the hatches" (an expression from Dad )-----and I must keep on, keeping on. Before I know it ,it will be time to pick up Himself-
Are you in the path of this storm???-----Of course , I know that we can handle it--
Before I get off of here, I wanted to have you read about my Mom--hanging out, and always adding her 2 cents to what I type--- Do you feel the presence of someone you love, screeching in your brain sometimes?--(-Anyway, I'm sure that you think I have really lost it eh?--)------ I want you to read the below
-so- hoping your day is special-- Of course , a wee dance will help to lift your spirits--
We do have a winter storm warning. Snow the next several hours ( and days looking at it closer). Temp is 11.6C. The only thing I think is good about it is it's pretty.
ReplyDeleteCold in the apartment, too. I need to put on a thermal undershirt under my sweatshirt. After a few Sadie chores (she showed up here!), I will cuddle in bed again with Lucky.
I am going to message you a great post I received today that explains it.
My friends are wanting me to come back to karaoke tomorrow. Can't do it. There's no way I can load Joanne's bariatric walker when I needing to use a walker myself. That's 2 to load in the car, unload when we get there, etc. And I am moving very slowly even with the walker. The folks are used to me getting up on stage to sing. No way I can do that now either.
So happy Himself got to his day care! Give you a little time to not concern yourself with what he is doing, get some tasks done, too. Maybe you can both take a bitty nap when he gets home. At least music, books, cuddle with Sushi?
Let's hope the heat stays on and the storm isn't too terrible.
Whatever you choose, please be safe and happy, Sis. {{{HUGS}}}
The wind kinda whistles thru the walls I always say-Lordy Be --- You just cannot go out with others and yu being so sore-- But yu must miss yer Karaoke--Yers, when Himself naps, I read my book on the sofa ---and Lopez lies on my chest--I'm reading a good book again--Remind me to tell you the name of it-- " The storm" is scheduled to hit here around 9pm-- Hopefully we do not lose power AGAIN--Hugs my dear friend--Lynda
DeleteHappy to hear that Fred got to go to his day care today - as it sounds like it might be awhile before you get out again if the storm is as bad as they say! I hope that you don't lose your power! We are also in the path of the coming storm that is predicting bitterly cold weather and high winds, but no snow until Sunday. The propane truck came this morning and filled my tank -Yay!!!! Made ham and bean soup and cornbread yesterday so I am ready to stay in and just read, mabye declutter some (hopefully) and clean like your Sadie.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, I hear my mother's voice....she died one year after my husband. Sometimes I think to myself that I am becoming my mother as I say and do things she did....and it kind of freaks me out.....but then I realize what a wonderful, loving, thoughtful woman she was (who loved her cats dearly) and I think maybe that's not a bad thing!
The Cornbread sounds good--I must make it--I love hot cornbread with butter--Hopefully we do not lose power--WE were told the storm will ve here round 9pm-- and--It is a good thing that you feel your Mother in your mind--and she loved cats--like yu-- Hugs Sandra--Yu are my idol--living alone-- one very strong woman!---Hugs, Lynda
DeleteIt's Kathy. I love the little dancing girl. I do believe we need to dance more! Yesterday was my dad's birthday and I felt his presence with me all day long! We are expecting snow and the temps are dropping. My daughter is picking me up to take me to lunch - a celebration for my birthday on 12/28. I'm glad I don't have to drive. Then when I get home I think I'll just stay home until it warms up a bit! I hope your electricity doesn't go out with this storm coming! My dad also used to say "battin down the hatches". It made me smile! Have a good day.
ReplyDeleteKathy--Dad used to say that too--Funny how we remember all that eh??--I hope you enjoy yer outing with your daughter--I hope we don't lose power too-- Last time it really got cold in the house--- Lynda--with a big hug-
DeleteOh, yes, in the path! It arrived overnight, and as I look out my window it is as though I live in a snow globe when the gusts pick it up and swirl it around. Remember years past when I would post photos of the drifts on my steps, that swirl into peaks like meringue on a cream pie? It's not quite there yet, but it's on its way.
ReplyDeleteHope you get Himself home and safe before you get hit with it!
Well Barb, it's almost 6pm and they say it will hit here around 9pm--I'm afraid of the wind as it causes the trees to fall on the lines--and yes, I remember your snow drifts----Nice to be home here anyway-- Lynda
DeleteYes indeed, we are in the midst of this winter storm. It is potent. We have about 8 in. of snow now, and this bugger is supposed to wind up more tonight and not finish til noon tomorrow. As you say, Lord love a Duck! But we’re doing all right. Staying put. The next phase of this storm is Arctic Temperatures. BRrrrr.
ReplyDeleteI hear my Mom, Dad and paternal Grandma’s words coming out of my mouth all the time. Definitely feel their presence, and honestly, it is comforting!
So good that you were able to get Himself to the Lodge. Good for both of you.
Just be careful out there.
Hugs
Barb

We are staying at home here -I did all my running around this AM--Hopefully the wind will not be bad--but it sure was in that last storm--The wind causes the trees to fall on the lines--Lynda
DeleteLynda, hunker down and stay in....would not want you fall out in that kind of cold.............God be with you and hope Himself does not get restless.
ReplyDeleteYes, hunkering down for sure--LOL Lynda
DeleteStay safe with this wild winter weather. Hoping power stays on, I think we all want that. Here in Texas, the powers that be, wish it was still 1924, not 2024!, Afraid to modernize. Hope you have good food for this next phase, Lynda!
ReplyDeletewell-no shopping anyway-- Thy say the storm will hit us around 9pm---- Hopefully no power outage--but--if its windy-- we will have no power for sure--Lordy--Lynda
DeleteOh Brenda--- Hopefully the wind will not be as bad as the last storm brought--Yes, Himself enjoys the Day Program-Lynda
ReplyDeleteOkay, Lynda...we got it! Snow, wind, the whole 9 yards. Snow continuing for days, temperatures dropping, etc. What a change from this morning. Change, though,, is what makes life interesting...and surely a challenge at times like this.
ReplyDeleteNeed to put my old fashioned leg warmers on.
He heat man was here, and he had to install a new thermostat. My apartment is slowly warming up. {{{HUGS}}}
Hey, I just messaged you--above--It is terrible when yu lose heat eh?-- I can kinda feel the cold up here---- Funny--we just had a new thermostat -put on also--- Supper time--so far-so good-no storm yet-Lynda
DeleteHi Lynda! Our storm hit about 3:30 this evening and we have high winds, as well. The Ohio Turnpike has some travel restrictions and many already do not have power. We are usually pretty lucky to not lose power so I am hoping that will be the case as the high winds will continue into Sunday morning. I hope your day has went well. Let's hope your storm won't be too bad and for sure that you do not lose power. It's good you got gas and picked up your roast beef and fresh bread. We did grocery pick up this evening so we are set and plan to stay home. Glad you took HImself to the program while you got a little break. Let's have a great weekend!:)
ReplyDeleteOur daughter says its pretty much over in Medina--no storm here yet--but cold- Hoping your weekend is good-Lynda
DeleteI think it is going to start back up in awhile. There was a lady from Medina on Wheel of Fortune tonight. lol
DeleteMarti here. There IS a God, because...my 90 yr old neighbor, who, last Sunday, or was it Saturday? was at death's door in a nursing home, was rushed to the hospital with sepsis or something like it, and...came through it all and is out of the hospital and into another nursing home for rehab, and...is talking as is herself again. I just visited with her a few hours ago. She's very weak, b/c she hasn't been able to get any rehab yet, but survived all that, somehow.
ReplyDeleteYes, we're somewhat in the eye of things (Central Ohio). High winds expected, rain, show showers. And colddddd weather headed our way. I'm planning to stay home as much as possible and ride it through. As REO Speedwagon sings "Riding the Storm Out" :)
