Good morning. I woke up this morning and felt like going for a walk for the first time in over a week at 3:00 AM. The last couple days I went out during the day and even though it was cold, the sun gave this walker a feeling of warmth. This morning I found out that when the temperature drops below 32° water freezes. I noticed on some of the sidewalks water had melted and ice was there. I also was caught by surprise at the temperature. It was 14° with a wind chill of 6°, I believe. In either case, I felt cold. I was surprised by that but it was good to be out and about in the middle of the night. I have secured the paperwork that has been corrected and so I shall return to my CPA who does my taxes and submit the correct form for the tax return. I shall also have to secure some chocolate milk today. I would like to find a new pair of tennis shoes but my lack of patience is a problem. The place I formerly purchased my tennis shoes no longer carries Nike. Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Good morning. The war for superiority in my fortress continued overnight. Later last night as it was dark and fairly quiet in the house, I heard an eerie noise as I moved towards the kitchen. I have my washing machine straddling the border between the kitchen and the utility room, and on top of the washer is usually a bunch of canned goods and boxed items, noodles and such. And lo and behold I found one of the bags of noodles was torn apart by a trespasser and noodles scattered on top of the washer. I have been trying to eradicate this creature for quite some time. I felt all it had to eat was poison and the bait in the traps. I could not understand why either one of those was not working when there was nothing more to eat. I now have found the reason. I have eliminated the food supply for this trespasser. I have some metal cabinets and I've placed all of the noodles and that sort of thing inside of those cabinets where I am convinced the rodent shall not be able to trespass. Looking around the area, it looks like the only thing that could be vulnerable is my boxes of cereal and some crackers. I have placed the crackers in a discreet area where I will know immediately if trespassing is attempted. The cereal boxes will take awhile to get through and by that time I shall be ready. Hopefully this vandal will have to eat the poison and pass into history. I have not been able to sleep peacefully because of this incident. I would say this is probably the hardest creature I have had so far in getting rid of. Usually the traps and/or poison is the answer. I know the answer but what is the question! I guess bad things happen to good people. I Hope you are having a good day.

Good morning. Happy Saturday. It is 7* but heading into warm later at 32*. This is the cloudiest month so we should have some 30s. It will be good to not have to have the shower dripping all of the time. Going to get the car out of the garage for the first time this week so I may get out some. Of course church later. Playing it by ear. Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
