Wednesday evening HELL0. 

Busy week already.  Today we had the next to last balance class. It has been informative and we have enjoyed meeting people in our community. This afternoon I had a low back MRI done.  we arrived a half hour early as there have been some sever traffic issues in the area.  Found out after our arrival they were running nearly one hour behind😩  No biggie....and they were extremely apologetic about it.  I was 5 minutes late to an appointment last week due to traffic and they cancelled my appointment.  Every other time we have been to this clinic they have never called me on time.

AMY, I understand your being zapped good by your cold.  I am finally starting to feel pretty normal now and thankfully most of the lasting symptoms are gone.  Hope you continue to feel much better. 

Going to call it a night. Sleep well EVERYFRIEND ‼️

that was me, Patricia. It was short-lived, but it feels tonight like it might be coming back to visit.  I did a lot of "little work" around the house today, so maybe that's why the hip is hurting (not big time hurt, like just around the edges, LOL)  If you have some exercises, they might come in handy so send them on.

Goodnight from windy and soggy here. Lots of trees down, and with them - wires. Hoping the failures miss us.

Good morning..

So far no power outage and there is 3+inches of heavy wet snow  on the ground. There is no way I am going to dance in it!!!

Poor birds are having a time scrounging for food...will put out extra seed for them.

Cooking and cutting up the dogs chicken hearts and beef liver then hope to scare my sewing room and do a bit of sewing.

Jenny, nothing has knocked the socks off me like this did.Just when you think you can go full steam ahead it knocks you on your butt.   Happy to read you are feeling much better.

Patricia, I am going to save your url, just incase..thank you for posting it.

Rick, hope you folks don't lose power. Do you have a back up generator if you do?

Jane, do you get Cooper today?

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Everyone has been fed, dogs outside and now time to get some work done.

Good Morning Everyfriend!  AMY, you can keep that snow north of the border!  Even our rain has stopped!  We have huge puddles but parts of the road are even dry!  I have NOTHING planned for today.  Frankie's off today so Cooper will be spending his day with his "Mommy"!

I finished the laundry yesterday and today the dishwasher has to go.  I'm out of regular spoons and reduced to using soup spoons for everything!  I just might have to eat some SOUP today!

PATRICIA, you shop like I do.  I use the aisles that have staples in them more than the specials.  Sometimes, I do LOOK at the specials and some of the new stuff that's out and once in a GREAT while I try something new.  Sometimes I like and sometimes I don't!  When I do that, I think of my Mother and especially my Gramma.  She used to say things like, "What do you use THAT for!" and "Do we HAVE to eat that?"  I finally know what she meant!

I wish you all a pleasant day!  Make it your own in every way!   And come by and share it with us!

We did not lose power last night, but many around here did.  The local authorities (police & Fire) were busy with many reports of trees and wires down, and some on houses. I'll take a walk around the outside soon and check things out - and recover my garbage cans.  Surely the usual flood areas are under water today. Must be a "fun" commute for those going to work this morning.

Rick ,glad you're ok! There are 300,00 people without power in Quebec. I would say we are lucky here, I am staying in and looking out at the snow   Well, I did go out and feed the poor birds....sad faces and holding their tummy got to me.

My first chore this morning was to feed my wildlife - and hope they didn't all blow away.
BTW - I do have a generator. It's a moveable one, on wheels, kept in the garage. It's big enough to power all the necessary things and a light or two. Problem is, - I haven't run it for 4 or 5 years, So have no idea if it would start and run OK now.  My accumulating years of life has limited what I can readily do.

Rick , we also have the same set up. Bring out from garage and hook into the generator side of the power panel. We start ours up every now and again just to be sure.

Thankfully our is on a wagon , we need to invest in another as this Honda is getting like us.....old

Good mid-morning from the Interior at 10:22 and 29 degrees. We had an overnight snow flurry that barely painted the streets white. However, more snow is due overnight on Saturday. What happened to Spring this year?

Morning domestic duties, (Thanks Callie), done and Farrah fed and morning meet and greets done. Today is laundry day, along with a few odds and ends I've put off.

Jane, shopping is "Buyer beware," these days or simply more overt. I saw an advert masking as a story about things we must have for our home, including the phase, I can't believe. One of the first comments was," I can't believe either, SMH."

I used to have multiple kitchen gadgets and junk everywhere until 2013. That's when decluttering became a thing, and just after my friends and I had spent considerable time and effort moving way too much from my one apartment to the other. I still have too much.

It changed the way I shop, although I still fumble now and again. With my allergies, I'm not able to eat a lot of the chemical crap masquerading as actual food, so that helps too.

My sister, in Idaho, reports that they had only one week of colder weather this year and thinks the groundhog might be right for them, anyway.

It was NOT a rainy day today.  The sun was behind the clouds part of the time but it did come out and shine for a good part of the day!  SPRING is here!  Rain and shine!

Cooper will be here tomorrow so it's my plan to cork off to bed early tonight.  I had a busy day today and got a lot of stuff done.  Of course, most of it doesn't show unless you watched me do it so I don't know if that counts or not!  Anyway, I know it's done!

Right now, it's 42 degrees and supposed to make it to 46 tomorrow.  That's fine with me.

I wish you all a peaceful night's sleep and a happy tomorrow.  Make it a good day and don't forget to share it with us!  Take good care of youreself!

Good morning...
We are to get more snow today and then up into the double digits on Sat.  Will try and play catch up on things that have yet to be done.

I did make the chicken and stuffing cassarole and it ws good! Plus enough left over for a few more meals. Will add vegetables next time .

Better get the day started I seem to run out of steam sooner than later.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Good Morning, AMY and anyone elso who shows up!  I was up early to meet and greet with Cooper.  We had our walk and he had his breakfast (I had mine before he got here!).  Now he's resting on the couch and waiting for his next activity.  I'll be getting a shower and getting into "going-places" type clothes for a Dr. appt. later today.  It's just a regular checkup so nothing special. 

I have the bedroom in shape and a load of clothes in the washer but no one and means NO ONE is allowed in the spare bedroom.  I've bee putting stuff in there that I want to pack for my trip to OKLAHOMA that is coming up the end of the month.  I have to fit it on airplane space to get there and I'm not used to that.  I've always traveled there by car.  Don't know if I can take Cindy the local potato chips and pretzel balls that she loves.  The kids are getting a taste for the pretzel balls too.  We're coming back by car so I can bring some of the stuff from there that I've attained a hankering for. 

AMY, It sure sounds like you're back on the path health-wise and I'm sure glad to see that!  I hope you don't get much snow.  We;re due for some more rain and I'm not looking forward to that.  It's dry today but supposed to rain tomorrow. 

I wish Everyfriend a good day!  Make it your own in every way!  And pop in here to share it.  We miss you when you don't come by!

Nowind, no rain, and it was the good old SUN shining in that woke me up. I could have just stayed there in bed, but I suppose I do have to get going and try to get a few things done. Enjoy the day --- before the rain comes back.

Did anyone else feel that earthquake a little while ago? At about Whitehouse Station a 4.8. That would be about mid point between me and Jane.

Jane we received about 4 inches of heavy snow but tomorrow should put the run on it.I hope.

Rick, nothing up here. Hope no damage was done .

Quote from: Amy on April 05, 2024, 12:19:00 PMRick, nothing up here. Hope no damage was done .

No damage here, but I almost went down to check my furnace. Earthquakes are not that common here so we never suspect vibration is one - we think our furnace misfiring. A neighbor works in NYC and he felt it, and emailed my son to ask about here.

I don't think it made it here either.  If it did, I didn't feel it!  I'll let you know after I talk to some people!  I'm a poor one to ask.  I just think it's the furnace or the washer or a car or something!

Good morning from a sloppy Interior at 33 degrees. I want to know who angered Mother Nature, as Spring seems to have been cancelled.

 "Areas of heavier snow showers, have developed around Fairbanks and across the Hills around town. In addition, fog has developed and may restrict visibility, as well. Travelers should be aware of potentially slick roads and poor visibility through the morning."

Amy, I hope you're feeling better, and please take it easy for a couple of days to not have any relapses!

Jane, I hear you; "no peeking in the spare bedroom from me!"

I read about the earthquake affecting New York, Connecticut and New Jersey 4.8 and 51 minutes ago?

Earthquakes in the Interior are less common and tend to roll. Earthquakes in the Southeast are common and since they're on a narrow strip of land between mountains and sea, they tend to be sharp and abrupt.

Rammel, Miss Ellen lives in (on?) Manhattan west of Yankee Stadium.  She said she felt the quake ("it lasted a long time") but didn't notice nor hadn't heard of any damage in her area.

Our weather has been wet and bouncing back and forth between near freezing and the 80's.  Last weekend, there were 5 "small" tornadoes. Weather gurus are saying "wait until mid-April to plant flowers".  I usually put out my hummingbird feeder about now but think I'll wait until the end of the month this year.

My Home Health Care p.t. decided I don't need supervised exercising and gave me a list of the exercises I'd been doing when he came. His evaluator agreed and I've now been "dismissed"  from having a visit twice a week.  Fine with me!!!!
I can do the leg exercises while I'm waiting on the microwave, waiting for oven to heat or doing other things at the kitchen counter and arm exercises can be done while I'm watching t.v. 

Janie, one thing I learned while I was traveling and having to limit luggage for flights was to roll shirts/knit tops and "unmentionables"   instead of folding them. Could fit more in the suitcase and lay slacks on top of them.

It's been a busy week and I'm ready to have a "leisurely" weekend.

No aftershocks felt - as of yet. The tremors did last for a while.

Time to say "Good Night Everyfriend"!  I'm ready for the haystack!  Cooper arrives around 6:45 in the morning and I like to be ready because when he gets here he's ready for a walk and then breakfast.  I get dressed and have my breakfast before he gets here.

CALLIE, I'm a clothes roller from way back.  We learned at Girl Scout Camp and at home in troops that you can get a lot more in a back pack for an overnight hike if you roll it.  I even roll some of the stuff (like pajamas) that go in my drawers at home!

The rain has stopped here but we've had a couple of nights down in the 30s.  However, the days mostly make it into the 40s and some into the 50s.  It's definitely Spring weather around here. 

I didn't feel any earthquake here but my daughter said she heard on the news that it was felt in some areas close by.  I'm pretty close to Central Pennsylvania and I think the very edge of it might have be felt here....or maybe not!  But I didn't feel it!

I had my regular check up at the dr. today and he says I'm healthier that a lot of people he sees who are 10 or 15 or so years younger than I am!  He said "Keep up the good work!"  I like that guy!

Better get my "night straightening" done and hit the hay.  I wish you all a peaceful night's sleep and a happy tomorrow.  Don't forget to sneak back in here and share your day with us.  I'm baking cookies tomorrow and I'll put a jar over there by the coffee pot!

Checking in to this topic briefly as I saw a few had been asking about me following the storms in this area earlier this week. I'm fine - just have been busy with work (I'm working until 10pm most nights now and have to get up early Monday through Wednesday to take my nieces to school because my brother-in-law works early those days). There were some tornadoes in this part of the country, but none where I live. The closest was near Dillsboro, Indiana - about 30 miles (49km) west of me. We just got a lot of wind, rain, thunder and lightning here.

Good Morning Everyfriend!  I'm on my way to get dressed to meet up with Cooper!  I took a look at that math problem and I think I figured it out but I didn't post an answer!  I wish you all a good day...better than yesterday but not as good as tomeorrow!  See you later!

Good morning..

Up and attem this morning. Snow is melting and  I think most of it will be gone by today. Not sure what is happening today.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Good morning from the Interior. We had some snow and then rain and snow overnight with little to no accumulation. Midafternoon, we are to expect more rain and snow, again with no accumulation. This type of weather is to last through at least the 20th. So, I will make sure I have lots of coffee and homemade soup on hand.

It's reported that the same type of wintry issues will remain in the rest of the country and possibly Canada, Thanks, Mother Nature.

Patricia, please keep the snow there. Our snow is gone for the most part and I checked out the rhubarb and it is fine even leafing out more!!!
For a day of unplanned jobs I did get a lot done and will wash the vehicle later this evening.
