Good morning. Happy hump day. At 3:00 AM it is 13°with a windchill of -3°. I believe that is what's called cold. Last summer I had a new storm door put on my rear door. It has worked really well. However, now that the cold weather is here, the outside handle seems to freeze up and not work when one is outside. In other words, stopping one from getting back into the house. I have not figured out a solution. I have tried putting a plastic bag over the handle figuring it would keep the moisture from the handle hoping to solve this problem. It is not working. I may have to make a key for the front door so if I am out somewhere, when I get home if the situation is critical, I will have a way into the house. As I have previously stated in other communiques, I go out to the street to throw water away and usually am not dressed properly. The first time this happened, I was in that situation. Fortunately I had a receptacle along that I carried water in and was able to hit the handle to make it work. I am now feeling sorry for myself.
Since I have an agenda for tomorrow to go somewhere, I think I shall remain secluded in my FORTRESS OF SOLITUDE for today so as not to contract some illness which will hinder my accomplishing my agenda for tomorrow. I have previewed the weather for the next 10 days and it looks as if they were optimistic yesterday about the temperature getting back to the forties. It does not look as if the temperature will ever get back to that magic number again of 40*. Once again, self pity.
I leave you hoping that you have a good day. I'm drinking the bad coffee and I have a isolated myself in my READY ROOM hoping to stay warm. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
good morning! trying to decide if i want to venture out...it's really icy out...but i need to pick up some meds..and need a few things from the grocery store...hope your day is rosy...hugs
Good morning. I went for some exercise this morning and the temperature was reasonable. The weather website said it was 33°but I find that hard to believe as there was no standing water. Everything was frozen over. And if my science does not fail me, freezing is 32°. That being said, some of the roads were slippery. I believe it was because of frost. There didn't seem to be any wetness to most of the roads and so the only thing that could make them slippery is frost. And it was not all of the roads, just some of them. It actually was easier to jog on the sidewalks. I usually do not like to use the sidewalks for my exercise for various reasons but this morning there did not seem to be any frost on the sidewalks. All this being said, it was not so slippery as to endanger one's very being. I did have to eliminate from my schedule the path next to the creek. That was slippery enough that I could have incurred injury. Everything went well for this time of the year, it felt pretty good out. The next two or three days are going to be something different. I hope on Thursday the weather is better as I am scheduled to drive someplace 30 miles from my backyard. And of course, I do not have a cell phone in case something happens on the road. I do not look forward to the challenge.
I'm thinking about activating my motor vehicle out of the garage and going on safari to the grocery store today. It will give me the opportunity to put some gasoline into the car so I do not have to bother with that on the day of my day trip. Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!

Good morning on this Monday morning. It looks like my agenda will not exist today. It has been raining all night and it continues to do so this morning. It is 40°out at 4:00 AM. This is almost unheard of in the month of January in my backyard. I went to throw some water out this morning and if it would not be slippery, I would've went for my exercise despite the rain. I guess I should be happy that it is not snowing. I have decided to settle into my FORTRESS OF SOLITUDE. The conditions of my streets in my area will most likely prohibit a constitutional today with all of the standing water. It could actually be slippery because of the patches of ice underneath the water.
Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Good morning on this Sunday morning. Not too bad in my backyard. About 26°and a clear sky. I went out this morning for some exercising being fully cognizant that the ground could be slippery with moisture. There were a good parts, and there were bad parts. I was cautious and was able to complete my task without injury. I shall remain in my area the rest of the day with perhaps a constitutional around the area. Thus, I'm drinking the good coffee. I forgot to mention the other day when reporting on my trip to the movie theater, I had a private showing of the movie. Every so often I am the only one in attendance at the movie. It could be that I like the early performance, or the movie does not have a lot of publicity, or I am such an important person that they give me a private showing.
Have a good Sunday. Ciao for now and watch your wallet! A postscript: I have received an email about the death of someone I don't even remember meeting. I suppose I shall have to attend the funeral in honor of some of my ancestors. That will be later in the week.
