I just checked our weather forecast for tomorrow... High of -9C/16F with a windchill of -19C/-2F.

Fun stuff. NOT.

I'm going to have that infared heater cranked up to the max tomorrow! Shocked

The January cold is hitting now Smiley
Supposed to be in the 50s tomorrow, which means my feet are going to go numb while at the bus stop because I don't have any decent shoes.

I honestly can't imagine it ever being that cold. I think the lowest it ever got here was in the upper 20s, and that's a rare occurrence.

I'd wear out Hottie #1 then move on to Hottie #2.... Wink

On that note, everything is seeming funny and I'm getting giggle fits. That's the sign I should get offline and get my caboose to bed... So I'm going to get out of here and crawl into my nest of blankets for a few hours of shut eye.

I'll be around at the usual time in the morning, I have to check the school board's site at 6 a.m. to see if there IS school or not. Roll Eyes We're getting up to 2 inches of snow tomorrow morning so that's up in the air, just like it was this morning after the mess we got yesterday. Roll Eyes

See y'all later have a great night. Cheesy

It's supposed to get below zero next week. NOT looking forward to that!

Night, VE! Sleep well and stay warm!

You are all having unseasonably cold temps... for the most part here it's been the opposite, they are warmer than normal.  So strange.  Speaking of a good sleep, my Bloke had his follow up with the sleep clinic today and he will be getting a cpap machine.  He's been stopping breathing 7 times an hour on average (from their study), so this will be an immense relief, he will get a better sleep, it will stop the snoring and I won't have to be poking him at night to make sure he's breathing...

When I bothered to answer the phone today I was called "Sir"  and they wanted to tell me how my "Windows operating system" was a problem.  I told them there's no windows here, had to tell them twice because my voice keeps cutting out lols  I am so fed up with that scam... they just never stop

In good news I got my knitting needles we ordered from ebay, only 2 1/2 weeks. That's actually pretty good when it's coming out of Hong Kong

It's really not all that unseasonable here. We've just gotten spoiled by the mild weather we've been having.

YAY for being able to sleep!

I just sent DanceShoesOnLine an email, told them that I'd mailed the shoes I got to the guy who ordered them and told them how much they owe me. They've already said that they'd credit my account. They'd better...
I also gave them them tracking number for the shoes I mailed so THEY can track it if they want to. I also informed them that the package that is supposed to have my shoes in it is STILL in China and could they give me an idea of when I will get them. Yeah, being just a touch bitchy. It's been a long day, tomorrow will be the same and I WANT MY DAMNED SHOES!!!

YES!!!


The package that is supposed to have my shoes in it was processed through the Chicago facility around 9:45 Thursday morning and then proceeded to Customs. (The Chicago staff took their own sweet time updating the tracking. I've been checking it ALL DAY!) Last time, it took 24 hours for the package to clear Customs. Nine forty-five on Friday morning will be 24 hours. It took approximately 9 hours to get to Indianapolis once it had cleared Customs and then approximately 3 hours from there to my door last time. I "could" get the package tomorrow although Saturday is more likely.
Everybody keep your fingers crossed it is the right package this time.....

Morning.

A few flakes of snow are coming down but the school board site will not be updated for a few more minutes.

I am tired and thinking huge amounts of coffee are in order for the day....  Smiley

If there is school, I'm going to be working on Untitled 8 while Son's gone. If not... Well, I will figure out SOMETHING to do!

I'll update once I find out if there is school or not.

AW CRAP..

Schools are CLOSED today. Sad There went my plans to go offline and REALLY dive into the writing... BUT I can still work on things after Son's meds have kicked in so that's what I plan on doing. He won't be taking them for a while though, I want to wake up for a bit first.

Looks like I'll be around for the most part today after all unless something goes wonky on my end, like the power going out.

Time for more COFFEE I guess............. *SIGH*

I am now eying Sanctuary's FB group banner and debating on whether or not to make a unique banner just for the group... Hmm....

Hey I HAVE to do something creative today... Son's home and that means writing is out the window for the most part unless it's editing or proofing.... I can do photography without him disturbing me TOO much, it doesn't take as much brain power as writing, nor does it need as much concentration and I can do it with noise, unlike the writing.... Tongue

Looking outside, I am now grateful schools were closed. We have a couple of inches of snow down, the road has NOT been plowed and one of my local friends said her road isn't great either, and she lives close to town, near my son's school. It doesn't look like it's going to stop coming from the sky either so yeah, I fully understand why things are slow or shut down today.

Our road was finally plowed about 5 minutes after my last post and the guy was dropping salt too... That's going to help Hubby get home safely... I HOPE!

The weather people lied.
They said it was gonna be 50s today. It's currently 41 with a wind chill of 38, and the bus stop is always windy.

I'm a popsicle and wish we had some hot chocolate.

That's a heat wave for us this time of year... Tongue It's currently about -12C or about 10F, with a windchill of -20 or -4 in American. This winter seems to be colder for us than the last few, temps were hanging closer to the freezing mark the last couple of years.

At least it stopped snowing for the time being.............

The city would probably shut down if we had your weather.
It wouldn't be so bad if I had actual cold weather clothes. Canvas shoes, a light-weight jacket and a thin long sleeve shirt do not keep out much cold.

Looks like this is the coldest we'll be this year, but one never knows.

Yeah, that's not good "cold weather" clothing Sita. Sad I wear at least athletic shoes this time of year when it's warm, boots if it's cold, and if it's warm, a biker style leather jacket... If it's REALLY cold, I wear a heavy jacket that Nanny gave me or one of my husband's hockey sweaters under another jacket, with a turtleneck under that... Hockey sweaters are warm even though they're lightweight, which is what I like.

I have a polar fleece sweater on now and am considering putting on another one over it because despite having the infared heater cranked up, it is COLD in this house. We have wind and our house is old and drafty so that means I'm frozen... I grew up with wood heat and anything below 72F or 22C is cold to me this time of year.
