Sandy's Daily Updates

Wednesday, November 1, 2023 Sunny Windy Clear Cold 46 Degrees 3:45 p.m.

Baby, it’s cold outside! It got down to 28 here last night and hasn’t warmed up all that much all day. We are to have another freeze tonight and then it might get a bit warmer tomorrow, so the weatherman says. The weatherman also said it will be up to 7o degrees by Saturday, in time for the Vol’s Homecoming Game. Sunday should be equally nice but then Monday it starts to drop down again. The roller coaster weather pattern. IT sure put a damper on the trick or treaters. We only had ten. We have lots of candy left!

Tina called on her break and said she was freezing. She is always the one who is never cold but I guess the wind got her this time. She requested hot soup for dinner ans she is getting Taco Stew, and that is hot. She goes outside and walks during her breaks so I guess walking in the cold and wind is a bit chilling. I’m not going out to find out.

Today is November 1st and Mariah Carey is saying it is now Christmas Time. I disagree. We have Thanksgiving next and then Christmas. They have been pushing Christmas since Easter or before. Home Depot just put tools on sale and it looks like a great sale. Spend so much and get another tool free. My neighbor spent $200.00 on a charger and 2 batteries for his power tools and got a big, fancy saw free. Not to shabby I think.

Have a great rest of your Wednesday. Make it a warm, cheerful, cozy, and fun day.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

HAPPY NEVADA DAY

A chilly, fall day. The morning was cloudy and very cool. This afternoon the sun came out and it got a bit warmer. Now we are looking forward to a freeze tonight. The temperature is to drop in somewhere between 28 and 30 degrees. A brisk evening for the Trick or Treaters. How sad to have to cover all those cute costumes with a coat.

It has been a quiet day for which I am thankful for. I woke up at 3:30 A.M. and couldn’t go back to sleep. So have been tired most of the day. Now I am working on covering the plants outside and unhooking the hose, draining it and covering the spicket. I think I have turned the water off to it in the house as we have a turn off place in the wall behind the outdoor spicket so hope it works. I can’t get the cover back on so am not sure. It is weird. But, I will try and make sure none of the pipes freeze.

I think we are ready for the trick and treaters. We have bagged 30 snack bags and have them handy by the door. The porch light will be on and a candle in the pumpkin to say Happy Halloween. I will have my Halloween vest on. My mask is permanent.

Have a great rest of your Tuesday. Enjoy Halloween and all the cute trick or treaters. Enjoy Nevada Day! It is the states 159th birthday of being the 36th state in the United States of America.

Monday, October 30, 2023 Cloudy Raining Chilly Still 52 Degrees 3: 33 p.m.

Sitting at my “Window on Main Street” I have the pretties view of trees turning orange, red, and yellow. They are simply breathtaking. The wind picks up for a bit and the leaves fall and blow. The lawn across the street is blanketed with leaves. It is really pretty. So far we have some but nothing like what they have. The wind can change that in a minute should it start blowing everything our way. The leaves on the dogwood tree are a magenta colored. Very pretty. Fall, here in East Tennessee is awesome.

We had a quiet weekend for the most part. Saturday we had a company come out and give us an estimate on windows for upstairs. That was interesting and we like the windows as well as his presentation and the price. So, we shall see. We know that they are needed as what is there isn’t working very well.

Sunday was quiet, Did church with Charles Stanley, Tina went to X-finity and took back the box that doesn’t work and got a new one. We will wait for Jerry to come over and install it. So far we have knocked a board down on all the wires back of the TV and not nothing moves. We are so handy.

Tina made Taco Stew for dinner yesterday and we have enough for another meal, so that is nice. It is good and since it is much cooler this evening we might have it for dinner tonight. That , a salad and cornbread muffins. Or else we can have Spanish rice, salad and a veggie. I am thinking that one night we will have ham ans scalloped potatoes. Winter comfy foods sound good to me right now. Our high yesterday was 79 and today it was 65 and that was at 5:00 this morning.

Have a great rest of your Monday. Make it a perfect, adventurous, productive, economical and fun day.

Oh, you might want to make sure you are well supplied with candy for all the trick or treaters. We seem to have several children in the neighborhood now. Happy pre spook day!

Yesterday was a buys day. Company in the morning, then Tina called and said that she had to go to the retina specialist because her right eye was feeling like it was going to explode. She wanted me to go with her in case he had to do the lasar and she would need me to drive home. So there went the afternoon.

Jerry came over and got my new cell phone loaded with all the apps that I need. I now, once again, have Facebook, Wordle, Blink and everything that I need. It sure helps. I didn’t quite make it through Wordle last night but will do better tonight, I hope.

The doctor told Tina that at this time she didn’t need laser or shots in her eye, that it was swollen as two new blood vessels were trying to grow there. Since that eye isn’t working, they aren’t supposed to grow there. He gave her eye drops two help the swelling go down. She is better today.

I have cleaned house. Dillon came over and fixed the screen in the guest room window so we can open the window. I hope he can fix the one n my room also. He will be back on the 6th to finish my house repair short list. Short meaning the odd little things that we need done. The weather stripping under the back glass screen door and an inch off the hall bathroom door as it touches the floor., Just little things.

The weekend looks to be quiet so hope to get some odds and ends done around the house. My closet cleaned out, Christmas stuff gathered as it seems to be everywhere except where it belongs. I guess we have some fall stuff packed with the Christmas stuff and Christmas stuff that didn’t make it with the majority of the decorations stuck here and there. We want to take a ride and take pictures of all the fall colors as the trees are getting so pretty and colorful. That is the plans anyhow.

Have a great rest of your Friday and a super, safe, adventurous, energetic, and fun weekend.
