Good morning. It is Friday the 13th. Remain sequestered. I know the bad luck day for the Italians is the 15th of every month, regardless of the day but this is the bad luck day for the civilized world. I am starting out at -2 with a high of 18*F. Tomorrow I am expecting snow and sleet. This can't last because it will be winter soon. Tomorrow I shall activate the car from being sequestered in the garage. I received my first Christmas car the other day. This year I think I shall re-card my Christmas cards, like some people re-gift. Later today I am hoping to get out of the fortress and move around somewhat. Be careful out there today. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
On a recent trip to the grocery store, I had to travel through the aisles following some acute sales that made me feel like my brain was sloshing around in my head! Though the sales were awesome, I felt dizzy and nauseous, and I couldn’t wait until was through the checkout and out to the parking lot. On this journey of life, we all scale mountains of hardship, pick my way through the rugged land of aging and physical diminishment and traverse the rough country of some of our relationships. Sometimes it seems we finally surmount one mountain or slog through a bumpy patch just to have the next challenge arise quickly before us. How reassuring is today’s internet as it transforms the precarious path of our lives, accompanying our every step!
Greetings. It is -3* heading to 9* later. The weather people say it feels like -16. It is too early for this. I have the hot water dripping in the shower to prevent freezing. Magic number for that is zero. I have cancelled my exercise. I have been feeling a cold come on. I had a sore throat for about an hour yesterday. This year when getting near zero, I shall not be doing the walk for exercise, maybe a constitutional around the neighborhood for gossip. I have even hidden the car in the garage. First time since last winter. I hope this is not going to be like a couple of years ago where the toilet drain froze. And the few times over the years when the water froze coming in from the street. Humbug! I may venture out to the street to see if I got any mail yesterday and to toss out the water. I never get any worthwhile mail anyway. Of course I am moving toward the time of year when the tax stuff comes in the mail. Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Have a wonderful Wednesday! I have done my Wednesday work and baked cut-out cookies. Will frost them this afternoon and get them in the freezer. What are you up to? Make sure to have the best day possible.
A mid-week HELLO! The holiday season is not hurried for me anymore. I like that I can relax & enjoy the sights & sounds. Even have my shopping done, which is only for my hubby & my son. Since they both have December birthdays (son the 10th & hubby 24th), I have to double my efforts! 🎁
