Monday, January 22, 2024 Sunny Snow melting Cool Still 43 Degrees 5:05 p.m.
Today started out in the 12 degrees and is not in the 40’s. The ice cycles are dropping, the snow is melting and the weather is improving. O course we are to get rain starting tomorrow night so that should make yards turn in to lakes instead of ice skating rinks. Feast or Famine.
Getting up and down the driveway has been a chore. Tina didn’t make it yesterday even though she tried 4 times. It was sort of fun watching her get close to the top, then slide back down. This morning it was worse. So Monica managed to get out of her neighborhood and driveway so came and picked her up for work. She will do the same tomorrow as the roads are still icy and slushy. I know the walkway out front is. I think I might buy a snow shovel for the next storm.???…
We had a good, but quiet weekend. Sunday after Charles Stanley, we watched NCIS marathon. It was fun as we now know that Gibbs didn’t die in the boat explosion, but happily retired in Alaska, fishing. Saturday Tina managed to get to work, so I straightened up around here and sat down and read a book. That was fun. The weather people kept asking people to lower their thermostats and not to use their heavy or major appliances, at least until afternoon, so ans not to cause a rolling black out. We complied. Our thermostat has been on 68 degrees since the 12th or 13th, and I haven’t done laundry for over a week. We have prepared most of our meals in the crockpot. Tonight I am using the oven.
Tomorrow I believe I will do laundry. I am sure it is time, and it will probably take me two days at least. I am ready. While I am at it I plan on cleaning out my closet and seeing what all is in there. Until the floors get done I am limited ad to what I can do down here.

I hope that you had a wonderful weekend, and are making your Monday a perfectly positive, productive, and fun day.
