Good morning. I've been up a couple of hours or more. But I got hung up on reading the news.
Happy First Day. I don't do resolutions. At least not more than normal daily ones I wake with every morning. And a new year belongs with a school year and ends sometime in June. And then there's summer.
But I hope everyone has a good year. Now I grab my checkbook and put 2018 on the next few checks to make sure I get it right.

Hi all....Happy belated New Year kissie

We have family home from another province...that took up my day yesterday. Then I drove GG to her mom's for a sleepover last night.

Today I will spend the day running a list of errands..both mine and DH's. It will be nice to have a day to myself to browse through a few stores at the same time.

It is not as cold today...minus -17*F. At least the cars start without having to be plugged in lol

Have a good one.

Good morning.
I am glad it's not storming today and you can get out, Sunny. Enjoy it while it lasts.
There is something satisfying in routine. Today I am going out to bank and shop for necessities. And pay some bills. I am eternally grateful that I can do that still.
I hope you all have a terrific Tuesday.

Hi all.

It is minus -22*F this morning....there's not a bird to be seen. Even the crows are hiding lol

I picked up GG last night...then GB followed. There was supposed to be a family b-day party for a cousin today. They changed it to tomorrow at last notice. I guess the fact that they are calling for 16 inches of snow starting tomorrow doesn't mean anything. touched

I'll bring GB home later and skip the party...I'll drop off the gifts on the same trip.

Sounds like a good plan, Sunny. IMO the Grand s do not need to be unnecessarily out in that type of weather. Keep warm !

It is around 21*F here this a.m....We are all breathing a sigh of relief. But "they" say the bitter cold will return next week.

I am soon off to visit with my sister. I wish you all a safe & warm day !

I happened to see my brother had posted a comment about liking Dell.. well so I posted how I had called Dell and had been sold a 4 cell battery for my laptop & was told that they no longer sold a 6 cell---as a result I have to charge my laptop every 12 hours---this is getting old---so now all of a sudden there is a 6 cell battery they can sell me, and have arranged to give me a refund---I am guessing upon the return of my 4 cell battery--well.....now I am way upset...I should have just continued to plug in my laptop.....I think they got caught trying to pull a fast one on me....

I am posting this so that other people are more wary than I have been.

sweet dreams & good night.

I am in the same situation.

I took GB home last night,. He asked for his mother every hour...then we got there, he seen her and was wanting to come back home with me again lol

Not much planned for today. Just waiting for this 'storm to beat all storms' to hit us. I know they want us to be prepared but it puts a lot of stress and worry on the elderly. They were all in a panic at the stores yesterday...stocking up for the end of the world. DD's friend works at the local pharmacy and she said it was so sad to see them begging to fill prescriptions ahead...which the pharmacy is just not allowed to do insurance wise.

Good Morning !

Sunny, my pharmacy told me they could fill my RX in 3 month batches. That would help them I would think.

I wish you all a safe warm day.

Junie, the pharmacies here had too much trouble with 'missing medications' with the 3X prescriptions. They bubble pack all meds with the Gov't pension programs now. You get a big sheet with meds spaced out as you are supposed to take them at specified times and days. It is harder for people to 'sneak' your pills that way. The younger generation will do anything for a 'free high' at their parents/grandparent's expense...it is sad.

They were just showing footage on the news of the snow that was falling in Florida. touched

Oh my, I am so very sorry to hear that, Sunny.

Yes the odd cold weather in the south here is a bit why

As I said, keep safe & warm !

Just took my Mom to the Drs. Came home and took a hot bath--I was paranoid about going into the Drs, office today.

Soup is on now--it is a quick soup...we will eat in about 30 more minutes

I love soup.

Well, the storm is living up to it's predictions...over 20 inches of snow has fallen so far and it is still going. They had to pull all snow plows off the roads last night because the driver's were in a full white out. Half the province has no power....and it is still storming.

We had the strangest phenomenon last night. It was so cold but warmed up so quickly with the snow that we had 'thunder snow'...it is when we get lightning and thunder while it is snowing. This is only the second time in my life that I remember having seen it.

We are safe and warm. DH is out plowing on the Trans Canada highway ...he could use a prayer or two to help keep him safe. Thanks kissie

We have an inch or 2 of snow this morning. No real problem except that I am thinking the roads will be icy.

Wow..That is a lot of snow, Sunny. It sounds horrid. I will be praying for your DH.

DH just told me he heard of the thunder snow being reported in the East coast. He seemed to remember it happening in New York ?

It is looking like we will go to my DD's tomorrow afternoon as the weather is to be nasty on Sunday.

Keep warm.

Prayers for your DH, Sunny. The thunder snow made our news even out west.
Good morning. I am going out today so i will have what I need for the weekend. I seem to be going through more stuff than normal. But I have a decent worker now and life is good.
Safe travels tomorrow, Carol.
I hope everyone has a great Friday.

The winds in the area that exacerbated all the fire took a toll on my roofing. And on my roof mounted cooler. But repairs are on their way before Tuesday's expected rains come. I am happy.

glad that you will have your repairs before it rains, Tina. That males me smile.

We are leaving tomorrow (the 6th) because of the bad weather that is to come on Sunday the 7th. Then we will return the next Saturday (the 13th)


I have had a headache all day. I first thought it was my dirty hair as I do that to myself..but I washed it & the pain did not go away....I am very tired now but I still have a load of laundry in the dryer...when that comes out I will head to bed. sweet dreams

Have a safe trip Junie kissie

I am so glad that you have repairs underway Tina. Will your new helper be doing the repairs?

Well the official snow totals are in~23 and 1/4 inches fell. Today it is minus -27*F so my roof is still not shoveled, I hope it warms up in the next day or two. I already had to start shoveling out the windows.

Gracious, that is LOT of snow, Sunny !!! Stay safe & stay warm.

not as cold here--we began the day at -3*F but we are not at 2*F. Gotta be thankful for the little things.

I am in the middle of finishing up my packing. We will head down to Valarie's around 2.

I wonder how Sheri is doing?? I hear they are having unseasonably cold weather now...

I wish everyone a safe & warm day......

What a lot of snow, Sunny! Keep safe.And warm.
Good morning. I slept in and would still be sleeping except I really needed the bathroom. It was lovely.
Safe travels, Carol. And give those kids an extra hug for me.
I hope all have a super Saturday.

A good rest feels good, doesn't it Tina?

I just got in from shoveling the house roof. I had on three layers plus DH's snow suit...mine wouldn't fit with all the clothing I had on. lol ~It took me 4 hours and I am glad to be done....the shed can wait 'til tomorrow.

I think apartment living might be an idea to think about as we age.

We are at my Daughter's house now. The girls took right to me. That was surprising as their "Aunties Shell" was there watching them. Henry was glad to see us also.

It is a bit warmer here, .....above freezing anyway.

Sweet Dreams to you all. I will be in as I can.

I am so happy for you Junie...have lots of fun. kissie

I bet housing/apartment costs must be scary where you live Tina. It must be a relief to have good help now.

It is minus -32*F this morning....I am not even going to open the door lol
