While DH was at his part-time job, the plow came by. 11 inches of snow on the street, pushed up onto the 11 inches on the driveway. Formidable. I was worried the snowblower might not run as it hasn't been used this year yet. Oh, but what sweet sound do I hear right now? The rumbling, grumbling of the snowblower as it gobbles up snow on the driveway, including the glacier at the bottom, and spits it into the yard.

129 on the dot. Shot day will be tomorrow and I'm just starting to feel a little hungrier. Calories still around 1,000 but before now I rarely got there.

Treadmill interval routine done for the day and tomorrow's Bible study reading finished.

DC1 back to work, hallelujah! Hopefully for good! They said they feel like they are/were having a manic cycle which hasn't happened in quite awhile.

Cold, blustery day with snow and howling wind! Yuck! Dreaming of palm trees, ocean waves and warm temps!

Chicken enchiladas for dinner! Yum!

All fingers and toes crossed that DC1 is fully passed the crisis.

50s predicted here again next week. Same in Wisconsin? It's not tropical, but at least it means your face won't hurt when you go outside.

Greetings all

Sun is out today. I made a list because I tend to dread and avoid tasks which really are not that much. Writing them down puts them in perspective and I get to check them off. I seem to have a gift for messing up tech things. Finally got an appointment to renew passport since mine is too long expired to do in the mail. Cripes all the two factor verification repeated several times to my phone that I can't read anyway. Getting tired of vision purgatory. So I did my walking and went to the studio and worked on a few things. Did some banking. Check deposit is another thing I need to get an ap for but another thing to drive me nuts.

Yay Liz you found a good hairdresser! Nice. Bet you look great. Inspired me to make an appointment for cut. Paella! How fun.

Ann are you out of motel hell yet?

Ocean Diane is mah jong like duplicate bridge where they pre determine the hands? I know it is played with tiles and have only tried it once and don't quite get it. Bet you rock at it.

56 days Peps. It will go fast. Fat Tuesday meal sounds good to me. I was cold a lot too after the VSG weight loss but it seemed to even out after a bit. Meanwhile, hoodies work. It's the uniform around here.

DD I heard that Minn got the national guard out for the snow storm. My niece in Nebraska has a snow day from her teaching. Must be a big one. Glad you get a home day. There should be a "National Stay Home and Drink Tea Day".

Paula don't you hate it when they plow the driveway shut?

Tastee sandwiches tonight which will suit DH since he had work done on a crown yesterday and needs soft foods. Still, he got the dogs out for a walk.

Not much else. I listened to Joni Mitchel at the gym and also The Doors. Joni was as good as ever. The Doors seemed kind of simple and dated.

Awesome you are getting your passport renewed. It's good to know you have options. If something tempting comes your way, off you go!

Lists can be super helpful and satisfying as things are checked off, but sometimes frustrating when something lingers there because you can't get it done because of an obstacle.
