Sniffing Sunday

I know what to do_sometimes · Frozen Sucks!

freezing here, 8 degrees when I got up. Have to do more prep for the storm coming tonight.

Feel better, SB

It's 25 here, so not too cold. It is snowing pretty good. Already have a few inches on the ground headed to a total of 8-10. As long as the roads are clear tomorrow, I don't care, it can snow all day.

The biggest problem is my sister is a healthy eating nut. So there is no soda and chips to curl up on the couch with. Boo.

Cold here today but not as cold as some of you. Chance os snow is north of us, we may get a dusting.

I hae one paper to finish for school. I have 75% of it done. Now I just need to baffle them with bvll so they can see the dazzle of brilliance in there. I mean, really, how much can a person write on the historical aspect of home safety for older adults?!?

Lodge Children's Christmas party is today! Nervous for the new entertainer I hired. I know it usually works out great but I have not seen any live performance of this person yet, just video. I get to pick up the pizzas too. Last year, the pizza was cheap but glorified cardboard. I said if we are doing pizza, I wanted good pizza. I have games and puzzles for the tables.

43 here, no chance of snow. Just lots of sunshine.

Hope you feel better soon, SB.

SB, I have a cold as well. Stuffy nose, itchy eyes and lots of sneezing, ugh. I've been miserable for three days.

It is 12 degrees outside with a light dusting of snow coming down. Yesterdays snow is fluffy and about 3 inches deep. Swept the sidewalks off instead of shoveling which made the job so much easier.

Have turkey legs in the oven for DH's birthday today. That is what he requested for his birthday meal. He's 65!

I still need to make a cake.

Hope everyone has a great Sunday. :)

Getting ready to go get the Santa photo. Hopefully it won't be too crowded and I won't get sick again. Promised the boys we'd get them Venus Flytraps, too. Going to go put welcome candles in the windows in a bit.

Sunny with clouds and around 30 here.

FNW, your day plans sound wonderful. :)

Went to a local farm's store to PU fresh veggies and their wonderful chicken pot pie for dinner. They make them with their own chickens, all real fresh food. While I was there, I decided to have them deliver firewood. So that is done. I don't have the energy to stack it though so threw a tarp over it. This farm hires foreign workers to help with the farming and such. The guy that delivered the wood is from Jamaica, his wife also works at the farm cooking and baking. They go back to Jamaica next week and come back in April. They've been doing that for 20 years. Very nice people.

I still have to check the oil on the snow blower and start it to get it ready for tomorrow.

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

Stay warm.

It's trying to rain here.

just Czech · Give Me Grand's!

IKWTDS, hope the family gets to Jamaica before the hard part of winter sets in up there.

Sorry, you are going to get dumped on with snow tomorrow.

Our turn is the end of this week. I am not looking forward to more snow. Nope. Nada.

Just filled the snow blower with gas and checked the oil. Yay it is fine! Fired that sucker up and let it run for 5 minutes. I am good to go! Tonight I will be browsing the MLS for homes in the south. i am so done with this...

Find me a place near water, such as a bay or swimmable lake. Budget is about 300K

300k can get you a really nice place here.

I wish I appreciated the weather more while I was growing up in so.cal. It is 42 degrees here but feels like it is in the low 20s.

Ok loving that! I could pay cash. No mortgage, nice life. I would have to put in new counter tops and sinks. But at that price no issue. Love the lagoon. Is that near you SB?

I know what to do_sometimes · Frozen Sucks!

Oh and would def redo the flooring to HW.

I've considered building a post and beam on the lake there.

About 30 minutes away. In between my town and HHI. More shops and restaurants there. Better schools for DD.

HHI? i can't move until DD is of age. Doesn't mean I can't buy though.

HHI = Hilton Head Island.

The bathrooms are a little scary too, but easy fixes. It comes furnished, so you could sell what's there and pay for some of the fixes.

Lots of condos and townhouses . Buy now, it's an investment . You don't want to move to Ohio. They have snow.

What you do is get a tiny house and two lots.

A lot in the south for winter and a lot in the north for summer.

Then you go back and forth as the seasons change.

My uncle did that. A lot in Colorado and a lot in Arizona.

Aaaaaaah!! I was writing a post and sparklit went down! I thought i broke the board ... I haven't been here for so long and then it crashes!

Whew. It's here now. *deep breath*

Miss my internet. 8 more days until I have it back at home and don't have to sit in a loud McD's at 11pm. If I stay here much longer everything I am wearing will smell like french fries. Speaking of which, I might have to take some home ...

3 days of EMDR training has apparently taken it's toll on me - got home at 430 and then had a nap from 530 to 8. Now I'm awake and drinking McD's coffee surrounded by very loud groups of old Asian men. Chinese is a very loud and aggressive language. Louder when it is a group of 8 in a room that echos.

However, I was able to find a good target with the EMDR and now will hopefully be able to do some work on it with my trauma therapist (who I chose specifically for EMDR and yet am totally anxious about doing EMDR with her). So many channels! Even the one target I used today has so many more channels than the three that came up today. And then I wanted to make an appointment with my other therapist (yes - I am polytherapeutic) but didn't because I realized that I shouldn't pay $100 just to have someone be emotionally attuned with me. I need more friends in real life (although, my therapist did point out that the reason I like you all better and feel like you all know me better than anyone IRL is because I've spent so much time with you. Did you know that the -nearly- 10 years I've been posting with y'all back to the MM days is longer than I've known anyone IRL?) No wonder I like you all better.
