Heated floors are indeed nice. We had those in the full bathrooms in our Missouri home.

The low last night was 34! Finally, we got through an above-freezing night, which should reduce the snow piles in parking lots. High today will be 52 and sunny!
Liz, I've not read Small Things Like These, nor have I seen the movie. It sounds like a book that one of my book clubs will soon help me read.
Today I start the hunt for a lot of drawer pulls and door knobs for cabinets and closet doors. Turns out doors don't typically come with knobs--who knew! Plumbing inspection is done. It'll be a *****aotic around here today, so I'll be avoiding the busyness. It'll be a nice day to be out and about. I'm looking forward to it. I may try to find someone to have lunch with.

117.4 - a new low not sought. Our visit with friends in the Florida Keys was great but they sure eat different from us. We tend to eat little or nothing early, then eat a good lunch. Snack in mid-afternoon and a decent dinner around 6:30 or so. Our friends eat cereal, yogurt and fruit for breakfast, snack on low cal/healthy stuff for lunch and eat dinner at 4:30. Being out of synch was hard for us, so I think I ate less than normal, which wasn't necessarily good. I do worry whether the husband is getting enough calories as he has had some nasty surgery a couple of times for radiation damage to his intestines (post-cancer) and is incredibly thin. Though he ate a larger meal than I did at dinner and more at breakfast, I'm not sure that is enough calories for a guy to regain lost weight. But what do I know? He eats what his wife tells him to eat. She used to have them eat as vegans but he lost way too much weight on that, so she added fish in (so pescatarian now).
Anyway, we are back in our local Bubble. The next couple of days are busy: DH has golf this morning and I have water aerobics, bocce this afternoon, then I have Book Club tonight.
We read Small Things Like These for Book Club. Good book and quite thought provoking. Also very short (about an hour or so to read).
Have a well-rounded Wednesday!

I just checked and the forecast looks good through 2/12 now. The winds must have changed. If true, hopefully the following week should continue to be nice. This is what Weather Channel is showing for February:

Was that a Homary sink (vs Hombray)? That was the closest I could find. Seemed like a cool sink with all kinds of options for drop-in stuff.

What a nightmare for your Dad, Claudia, and you! Is there any way you could actually have these stents ordered ahead and keep them on hand since this seems to recur pretty frequently? I hope your Dad recovers quickly - he has been through a lot.

Heated floor! Nice!

44 degrees here, almost as warm as Kentucky! It feels practically balmy after the subzero temps last week. Yeah for a nice spell of consistent warmth in Florida. Keep it going Florida, I'll see you in a couple of weeks!
Heated bathroom floors do sound wonderful. My BIL put them in his kitchen, which is above a crawl space and was always cold, and in his bathrooms. I like to go stocking footed at their house :)
CC, so sorry for you and your Dad. My SIL had that same procedure to drain a kidney and it did work, but does not sound like a procedure anyone should have to endure. Yeah to your volunteer treasurer term finally being up!
Diane, you'll have to let us know if the very special beef was indeed special.
2nd semester, also know in my head as final semester, is underway. We had our ICE meeting. It was reassuring that even if they have a warrant, they won't be entering the academic wing. The bigger issue is to be aware there are students who are scared, and to interrupt or disrupt bullying and taunts of ICE is coming for you etc. That's a given. Anytime I hear mean or bullying comments, I stop them. Nothing bugs me more than students being mean as a way to entertain themselves.
Greetings all
Sunny and brisk again. Rain is supposed to come in Thursday. Guess I had better soak up sun while I can.
Scrabble this morning. Lost all my games though a couple were close. Am I getting stupid or just sloppy? After that I had DH meet me at the vet with Poppy for her annual exam. All is well but she sure was fussy.
Home now enjoying some lemon risotto from the deli. Yum.
CC so sorry to hear your dad is hospitalized again. Hoping the additional procedure provides relief and that he is not too uncomfortable. Distances don't help either.
But boy is that totem a cool thing. Kirby must not eat feathers. Art is not for snacking.
Laundromat Ann, how quaint!! Good that there are helpful attendants. I use one to wash our bed cover as it's too big for a home washer. If I get there early enough they wa**** for me. Enjoy the bathroom transformation. Heated floors! Posh.
Speaking of remodeling, a friend sent me a video of her new Hombray kitchen sink. It's astonishing in the array of features. I had no idea there was such a thing. Check it out.
Safe drive Liz. And enjoy the long overdue nice weather.
I bought some hamburger labeled as "gourmet hamburger" at the health store. It's wagyu beef I think. Curious to see if it is any different. Impulse purchase.
Between the early morning and the high carb lunch I feel a nap coming on.

Woot! Just saw your pic of your totem on Facebook. It's wonderful!
