119.4 - unchanged. 33 degrees at 7 am this morning - colder. But it is supposed to reach 70 by early afternoon, then this cold spell will be over. DH got up at 6 am because he has golf this morning, then got an email saying that the start of it is delayed by 45 minutes.

I hope our DD finally got home! She and her DH must be exhausted, but what a trip they had!

My DD arrived at 10 last night instead of 7:30. Apparently so many planes were trying to catch up on flights cancelled the prior day that they didn't have enough gates to handle them at Westchester airport. Anyway, there was no going out to dinner or getting takeout because where we live the latest any kitchen is open is 9:30 and even pizza takeout ends at 8:30. So I cooked an easy bolognese which actually didn't take long and tasted really good with one of those prepackaged salads. Didn't get to bed until midnight though and sleep was rather elusive at first.

Cape Cod is still mostly out of power with tons of special crews working on it. Getting worried about DH's home because the pipes may freeze with the power out for a long time and there is no one there to shut off the water. The electric company sent a notice that it was targeted to be back on at midnight this past night but it is still out. The other concern is that someone will need to shovel a pathway for oil delivery if that is supposed to happen soon.

Plans for today are a Justice walk, probably the Beach Club for lunch then a mother/daughter dinner out this evening. Oh and a bocce game for DH and I sandwiched in between. Last game of the season.

Have a Warm Wednesday!

Yeah, hauling furniture used to be easy but not at this point in life. I hope Tesla can skip the dental cleaning. Justice has to have it done every year. The last time he had it up north something went awry and he had a terrible night after it. He had to go in for more pain medication and hydration likely because he had a large molar removed. This past year he was back to having just a cleaning and did really well again.

Justice gets me out! He doesn't even have a coat yet jauntily does his 3.5 miles in this chilly weather. The only thing he hates is pouring rain or snow/ice he has to walk on.

OH is being weird with oops, we're sorry pages...

191.4 today we went to Out of Africa, a wildlife park in a town nearby. Mostly it was disappointing, with hard to see animals. But at the end there was a Safari bus tour where giraffes ate leaves from everyone's hands and zebras raced the bus. So that part was fun. Then we went to lunch that was just meh (it was just that kind of day!), then came home and napped in the sun.

We have everyone's excess degrees. 72 today which is 17 degrees over normal. Near 80 this Friday which is 23 degrees above normal. My folks are thrilled!

Not much else to report here. Hope everyone is well!

Greetings all

Steady rain today but not a horrible storm. I went to Scrabble and lost two, won one. Lost one by 1 point!! Close on the Shark but no dice. I had planned to stop at the studio but the rain was heavier and I was hungry and didn't feel like it. So I came on home for a roast beef sandwich. I will likely not get much else done today so I need to finish those gallery tax returns. Got a message from the gallery landlord that they want to meet and talk about the lease. Not sure what that is about as we have 4 years on it but who knows. They have a new director so I will have to reeducate them.

Liz glad to hear your DD got out! I was concerned that everything would shut down given how awful the reports are. Hope your SIL will be ok. Not smart of her not to get out. And yeah it is probably warmer here than there even though we have rain. Probably in the 50's here.

Peps agreed that you should slip your dad the ibuprofen if needed. I kind of regret not doing similar things for my mom when crazy pat was on the rampage and would not let me give an anti anxiety med or sleeping pill to my mom. Nice that your dad had a little date. Bet he is pretty darn cute.

Paula your vendor space looks great. Looks like it is a little larger than each of our artists get. Do you have to barcode everything? Hope it works out. Ditto etsy.

My new ottoman should arrive any day. The furniture store suggested that I could easily pick it up but no thanks. Once I got home how could I unload it? Not me.

Tesla has a vet apt tomorrow. She is approaching age 9. She had a dental last year so it will be interesting to see if they want to do another one. I need to brush her so she does not look like a pound puppy. Studio buddy wants to come over for some computer updating and needs DH to help. What needs to be done should not take long but she talks so much it is hard to get anything done. The vet apt is the escape module.

DD what hemisphere are you in? Hope the extra time does not result to too much travel discomfort. Welcome home.
