Good morning. It is a relatively warm morning, about 15°. There a is a windchill of about 3*, but since I'm not outside, and I do not plan on going outside, BIG DEAL! The big snowstorm is coming in. About five to 8 inches. Just enough to inconvenience people with a real life. Yesterday I bit the bullet and decided to go to the grocery store. As a matter of fact I went to two grocery stores. I enjoy listening to people's conversations while I walk around with a shopping cart. Since I can not get my regular exercise, a shopping cart is the best I can do. Even though the temperature warmed up to about 12° while I was out, it felt a lot colder than that. Today will be sequestration except maybe, a trip to the mailbox. I had forgotten that yesterday was a holiday for the mailman. Last night about 7:00 PM I ventured out to the mailbox to look for the mail and as I got halfway there, I remembered he was on holiday. Fortunately I decided to throw out my water and so it wasn't a wasted trip. At least today I was able to turn off my dripping water in the shower. At least until Wednesday night. Then it becomes cold again. Woe is me! At least during this isolation, I have come up with a new hobby. Burning a candle, a scented candle. I found it while straightening up looking for things I wanted to scan. I think I bought this candle about 300 BC. As I'm composing, the candle's flickering is catching my eye and it takes away my total concentration.
Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Good morning. Baby, it's COLD outside! lol -5 here when I woke up this morning. I'm off to work, but I want to take a minute to wish you a warm and safe week my friend. Love & Hugs, Judi
Good morning. Monday morning has arrived and so has this writer. Another cold morning. It is approximately 11° below zero, and whatever the windchill is, it really does not matter. Yesterday was the first time I remember in years not going outside or even opening up the door. I decided to sequester myself in my FORTRESS OF SOLITUDE. I did receive an e-mail later in the day from one of my neighbors who ventured out to Walmart. They said it did not seem too bad, but of course that was after the temps went past the magic number of zero. The good news it is going to rise to 13°later today. The bad news is we are having a snowstorm move in tonight. I believe we are supposed to get about 6 inches of snow and as a bonus some ice. As a previously said it, I am on my countdown.
I am completely exhausted from the football games yesterday. I shall need rest today. Since I was not able to go out yesterday, or at least unwilling, I shall have to go out to throw out my water sometime today. That may be enough exercise for the day. I would like to get out for a constitutional around the neighborhood once the temperature gets past that magic number of zero. Have a good day. If you live in the real world, do your thing. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Good morning. Sunday morning is here and we are winding down the weekend. The weather is cold. I knew that breaking up of THE POLAR VORTEX was going to be bad. I just assumed it would take some time for it to happen. At 4:30 AM I am reporting -4° CLEAR with a windchill of -17° The high of 13 later today. I expect it to become a little colder as we near morning. It could be worse. In the past in my backyard we had at temperatures of 30 below in the winter. That seems like a long time ago. In either case, it always helps to complain. I think I shall remain sequestered in my house the entire day with an exception of later maybe going out and throwing out some water. I am not contemplating even a constitutional around the neighborhood. I think we have one more day of this and then it will warm up into the teens and twenties. The downside is that we are expecting some more snow once this is over. I shall remain focused on my countdown to April 1 when everything else in the world will become perfect.
Have a good day. Hopefully no one has made a police lineup or posing for a mug shot. I have always said if you're going to drink and drive, do it on a motorcycle. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Hello My Friend.. We're in the middle of a snowstorm here in Michigan (The first real one of the winter) and I've been fighting a nasty cold, but I wanted to touch base with you And wish you a great weekend Love & Hugs, Judi
Good morning on this Saturday morning. It is the end of everything known to man in my backyard. There is snow; cold weather, 10° F with a windchill of -1°; and a forecast for the next two nights for this writer to keep his hot water dripping in the shower. To compound this situation, I seem to be coming down with a cold or some situation such as that. A couple of days ago I was attacked by a coughing spree. It lasted about 5 to 10 minutes and then there was no more indication of this situation. Last night I woke up at 2:00 AM and had an uncontrollable sneezing situation. It lasted about 5 minutes and then it also left the area. I do not think I could get back to sleep but I fought off the urge to get out of bed. It was helped by it being somewhat cold in my READY ROOM. In either case, a pleasant surprise, I fell asleep and remained in this coma until 5:00 AM. I feel fully rested but I also know that unless there was a miracle, I am not done with this situation of the illness. I suppose it does not help to be wearing tennis shoes, or to some of you or not aware of this term, sneakers, everywhere I go including moving the shovel around outside. Speaking of that, when I went out to get the mail last night, I pushed the shovel into the snow and made a path to my mailbox. Looking out the window this morning, even though it is dark, it looks as if my shovel has not moved. This is not a good sign for this writer. Just now I heard the friendly sound of the snow plow come through. And then the enjoyment of seeing the guy across the street try moving two cars before the plow goes on his side. He made it. I was thinking of going to the grocery store today considering I have to activate my motor vehicle later today for church anyway. I'm usually too lazy to take it out of the garage and so I try to double up on these situations where in the winter, my car is resting in the garage. One way or the other it has to come out today. My situation this morning shall also have the phrase, MASSIVELY DEPRESSED ABOUT WINTER. Well I complain about this for medicinal purposes.
Have a good day. One spoiler alert about the movie yesterday. There was a place in it where they were talking about vitamin D. I bring this up only because I was going to take some vitamin D this morning and found the expiration on it was 2012. I ordinarily do not concern myself with these types of things but I just decided it would be of no value. Ciao for now a watch your wallet!
Good morning on this Friday morning. It is MOVIE DAY and I shall be attending in approximately 4 hours give or take 37 seconds. We have some minor snow on the road from yesterday which hinders me from going out for my exercise. Later today I shall have some inclement weather that will put a longer stop to my exercise. Snow. I have to remind myself winter cannot last forever. Or so I think. I am on my countdown. Officially the countdown will end before April 1. By then, I always activate my motorcycle by that date, usually somewhat sooner. Not that I am basking in warmth and sun, but I am able to get out on the road without the ice and snow. I am always in danger of winter until about the middle of May. So in either case I shall play the part of a martyr. I'm also hoping to get to the grocery store today although that shall be a game time decision on my ambition. I will have to get the car out of the garage and who knows about that!
Have a good weekend eve. I leave you now with my usual status. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Good morning. It is GARBAGE DAY and I shall not be participating. I actually did participate somewhat. I have moved the neighbor's garbage receptacle out to the alley. She is hardly ever home and most likely is up to suspicious activities as far as sexual activities are concerned. I was somewhat surprised to get out for my exercise this morning. The sun came out yesterday and got rid of all of the ice but there were rumors of snow showers overnight making the ground somewhat slippery. So I slept until almost 4:00 AM, which is late if I am planning on going for a jog. I looked outside and it looked all right. I decided to play it by ear and get as much exercise as possible. Once I got going, I was able to complete my task without injury. It is 24°with no wind and so it is what one would call tolerable at this time of year. Now I get on the computer and I look at the weather and we are supposed to have snow showers this morning. It will not end up to anything remarkable as far as accumulation. They are just saying that it will be slippery. I actually tossed around in my mind about activating my motor vehicle and going to a few places. I think I will wait until tomorrow when it is MOVIE DAY. It will be a game time decision.
Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
As a man, I am not into all of those things as baby showers and such. So............ have you ever gone to a GENDER REVEAL PARTY and had to apologize for taking your pants off because you thought everyone was participating?
Good morning. Happy HUMP DAY. I'm looking forward to another day of nothingness. I could almost send the same comment out as far as the text of my message because it was that kind of day. I managed to get out yesterday in an icy condition as far is getting to my mailbox. I was able to sprinkle some salt down and almost had an immediate reaction. Last night we were expecting more of the same as far as causing icy conditions. The difference for this writer will be that I had some salt down on the pavement so I should be relatively good on my property. I received an e-mail from one of my neighbors mentioning the guy down the street fell on his head. Nothing critical. A bump on the head and a headache. If I wouldn't have looked at the weather report before I tried it, it could have been my doom. In either case, I shall remain secluded for a second straight day except for a trip, or two, to the mailbox. I still have not retrieved my mail from yesterday but then again, there is no hurry. I do not know if I shall ever see 32°again in my backyard. A brief glance out the window in the dark reveals a street that looks icy.
Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Good morning. We had that icy rain last night and therefore I have been sequestered in my house overnight. I have yet to get out and get my mail, not that it is ever important. However, this month I shall receive all of my documents for tax purposes. I was hoping that the slipperiness would leave overnight, but of course not this time of year. I do have a preview of the weather and later today there should be some sunshine. That should enable me to get out to the mailbox. In the meantime, I have self imposed myself into oblivion, a state of remembrance. I have received this admonishment from the weather people: slippery travel on untreated roads and sidewalks this morning... untreated roads, sidewalks, and parking lots will be icy this morning from freezing drizzle that fell overnight. And of course my salt is in the garage. So I shall be waiting it out.
Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet! And.......... if you drink coffee, drink the good coffee.
Good morning on this Monday morning. A little colder this morning than previous mornings, about 22°. The air has a dampness to it. Heavy frost on vehicles. It was not horrendous but you knew it was cold. It was reasonable the first 3 1/2 miles, and then for about a mile a person's face would become cold. I analyzed the situation by looking at a flag blowing in the wind. I think that must have started at about the time the cold became noticeable. In either case, it seemed to subside the last half mile. I actually had to force myself out the door this morning due to laziness and cowardice. Once completed, I would expected a hero's welcome back in my neighborhood except it was 4:30 AM and most people were hiding in their beds. A high note for this morning is that I'm drinking the good coffee.
A thought for today: I wonder if people rinse their mouths upon completion of brushing their teeth. Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Good morning. Another pleasant morning with the temperature, about 26°. However, there was no wind to speak of and it was pleasant being out before the people of my city. I like to jog in the streets and therefore I like to get out at approximately 3:00 AM, there is no traffic. This morning I met with very few cars and no one who I would label a pedestrian. And the air is clean and good and you can breathe good air unlike in my fortress where dust occupies space.
I found out yesterday that it is possible for something in my freezer to become inedible. I found two hot dogs in the freezer that have been there since the beginning of time. They were encased in frost. I do not remember purchasing the long hot dogs and these were them. In either case, I did the proper preparations. I sat down to enjoy them and took one bite, and that was enough. Unfortunately, unlike my various food substances in other parts of my fortress, I do not have these items reference by dates. As much as I hate to throw food away, I disposed of these hot dogs immediately. As the years pass by, I have been having to throw out certain food substances more and more.
I plan on remaining sequestered for today. I suppose I could possibly go out for a constitutional around my neighborhood later in the day if boredom were to conquer me. My current status is drinking the bad coffee, I'm doing sold to rid my coffee maker of its last vestiges of vinegar, listening to the stereo, and composing some communiques and emails. This is the last week that it is appropriate for people to keep their Christmas decorations intact. Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Good morning. Another weekend has arrived. A relatively warm morning this morning. At 3:00 AM it was 28°. There was a windchill of 22°but it felt reasonable. I was not planning on going for exercise but one never knows when the snow and the ice will arrive. Everything went well and my Saturday is off to a good start. I am currently drinking the bad coffee with the vinegar taste. It actually is not as bad as years passed when I would not rinse the pot thoroughly. So the coffee is acceptable, I just will not enjoy it. I am uncertain of an agenda for today. I'm thinking of going out to the mall and listening to some conversation. It is really not as enjoyable anymore with 75% of the anchor stores closed. But since I really don't have a real life, this will take the place of it and I imagine that I know these people and what they're talking about in their conversation. A prime place to listen to people is in the coffee shop at Barnes &Noble. But then again as the day goes on, I may lose heart and become lazy and take the easy way of staying in my READY ROOM. Whatever I do shall be a game time decision. Of course I have church later. That will interfere with my watching the football game. I went to the grocery store yesterday with a specific intent on getting a couple of pieces of fish that are already prepared. The mission was a failure and I was forced to come home and eat something out of my freezer that I believe had a date BEFORE THE COMMON ERA. In either case, I really should start eating out of the freezer as I have no room in the freezer for anything.
Have a good day. Let's be careful out there. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Dropping by to say a quick "Hello". It's very cold here, but what else can one expect in Michigan, lol. Once spring comes, it'll be beautiful once more. Hava a great Friday and weekend... Love & Hugs, Always~ Judi
