Skywise just called. He's on his way home -- or will be once he gets the car uncovered. He doesn't know how long the drive will take. I told him I'd be here crocheting. I've bitten my nails down to nothing so I've switched to crochet to save what's left of my fingers.....

Probably out for the day. Skywise slammed the car door on my right hand.

My hand hurts.
My right middle finger is swollen and starting to turn purple. (It normally takes me a while to develop a bruise.)
I've spent all day with an ice pack on my hand.
Didn't get a damned thing done.
Skywise called a few hours ago. Tomorrow's dinner will be Little Ceasar's... Smiley

Skywise is on the way home. He called about 50 minutes ago so he should be home soon if the roads aren't too bad.

He is home and it is cold. The aspirin has worked and I'm having to be careful I don't overuse my finger so I'm outta here.

Morning.
My fingers are NOT purple although the middle one is still a bit swollen. More to the point, I can bend it without pain.

Made biscuits and sausage gravy.

Expecting another 1 to 3 inches of snow between tonight and tomorrow afternoon.
Winter isn't "coming", it's here.....

We went to town.
Had a very late lunch -- more of a snack really.
Got milk and a few other things.
Picked up two pizzas for dinner.
Came home and are expecting the 1 to 3 inches of snow to start any minute.... Smiley

I've found some smileys appropriate for the weather but I can't remember how to load them. They're animated so that makes it more "interesting". Anyway, I'm taking my book and heading out.

Everyone sleep well and be safe. Smiley Smiley

Greetings.
It snowed last night. Prodigiously.
It continues to snow. Prodigiously.
It snowed so hard last night that the NWS radar was unable to "read" this area.
I haven't had breakfast yet. I should do something about that....

The snow finally stopped. The package we were supposed to get today hasn't arrived yet and I suspect from the message we got the carrier is stuck in the snow somewhere. It's already dark and I suspect that we won't get it until tomorrow -- which is fine with me given the conditions.

Post # 66,666 for the site.

Amazon is whining because the package wasn't delivered.
The Postal Service will try again tomorrow when HOPEFULLY the road has been plowed.

It is 10 degrees.
Skywise and the girls are taking the trash out. They're bundled up -- heavy coats, hats, boots, gloves and Spirit has earmuffs and a scarf.
It's supposed to be in the low 50's during the weekend.... then the temp is supposed to drop and... snow/wintery mix.

I have been researching to see if anyone has created a solution to the pantry storage problem I have. It appears that no one has so... I'll have to figure out my own solution. In the meantime, I'm heading out.

Everyone sleep well and be safe. Smiley Smiley

Morning.
It is currently -4, down from -2. Skywise has just gone out to check on things.

It's now -1. We thought about going into town but decided not to. We'll give the road crews another day. Besides.. it's cold.
NOT that it is likely to be that much warmer tomorrow....

It is now 4 degrees and we're crazy.
After my last post, Skywise and Spirit decided to go into town to eat so off we went. The backroads aren't as cleared as we'd like but we made it and the highway is in decent shape.
Skywise is on his way to work and I'm not as I could have been if we hadn't gone out. The girls and I was waiting for the letter carrier who can hopefully get everything in the mailbox. We've made tracks down the driveway in case the carrier needs to come down to the house.

The carrier arrived about 45 minutes ago and I've been getting the pantry arranged. I'm only about half done and I may not get finished today. Much shifting around of things, assembling "sorter/dispenser" and thinking to be done.
Currently taking a break for rest but mostly for thinking....


And... it is time for a new thread.
