    Good morning.
    Thanks, Irene.
    It rained last night, but so far, it's cold, windy and partly sunny here today. High of only 25 expected.
    No plans for today. Just need to go to the library.
    Stupid groundhog.

    Hi Vix
    Which of the two groundhogs I linked above to believe :smiley:

    Did the overnight rain cause icing ?

    In honor of this mornings lower temperatures I added the Thermal Pants underneath my normal clothes. Everything was comfortable except my fingers did hurt every time I had to pull of the heated mittens to use the Kleenex, Cold weather makes my nose run. I am hopeful that I will miss the Flu as the Flu shot has now had time to become effective.

    Stay Safe & Warm

    Good morning.
    Cold here too, but sunny so far.
    I am going to a baby shower today for one of my friends from work. And doubly nice, my daughter is going with me. :smiley: Looking forward to seeing them all.
    Happy Saturday, everyone.

    Good morning;
    It was cold yesterday. I came home from work and didn't go out for the rest of the day.
    This morning we went out for breakfast. I had the omelet of the day, which had roasted butternut squash, Vermont cheddar cheese and cranberries in it. It was very tasty. I ate half and brought the other half home for tomorrow's breakfast.
    Vix-baby showers are fun. There are so many different items for baby's now than when we had our children.
    Roger-We are supposed to get rain later today.
    Hi Irene.
    Are any of you going to watch the Super bowl?
    Enjoy your day. :)

    Good morning.
    It's snowing here.
    The baby shower was great. My friend has a large family and lots of friends so we didn't get to catch up much, but it was a wonderful, heartwarming event. So happy for her. :)
    Your breakfast sounds delicious, Jo! I may watch part of the super bowl.
    Roger, interesting about the Mayan discovery.
    Irene, good that everything will be done before the carpet goes in.
    Happy Sunday, everyone. :)

    More humor today

    Hi
    I'm back from walking again and no cents. The temperature this morning was 34 on the porch and 36 on the cable news channel, Warmer than yesterday. Despite the warmer air than yesterday I ended up short cutting my walking after hitting icy patches and slipping.
    The rain in the forecast for yesterday arrived with a few snow flakes that quickly turned to rain into the evening.

    The scale was nicely lower than yesterday morning, again, It seems that the "Time-restricted eating" combined with a 100% NS plan is working really well so far. Whee

    Hi Vix
    I did not bother watching the Superbowl :)
    I did watch Hee Haw on RFDTV HD & Worst Cooks on the Cooking Channel OTOH, Worst Cooks was hilarious, I have no idea how anybody can be so clueless in the kitchen.

    I had Two eggs and Rye Toast towards the end of my walking and packed up the Home Fries and brought them home where my Brother used them as part of his Breakfast, Waste not, Want Not. I do not think the price is bad either, Eggs, Toast, Home Fries and Coffee for $4.

    I have a suspicion I would not have ordered an omelet with squash and Cranberries :wink: Good idea splitting the omelet into two meals. My breakfast did not hurt at the scale as it was down, I used Large Curd Cottage Cheese and some left over from Christmas Ham as the extra proteins for the day.

    Have a Nice Day

    Good morning;
    Vix-I am sorry for your loss.
    Well, you did not miss anything by not watching the Super bowl. It was not a very exciting game and I did not like the half time show or the commercials.
    It is currently 43 degrees here and the sun is shining. I am about to head out and run a few errands and then get a pedicure.
    Have a great day! :)

    Good morning, Roger a lot of the roads had black ice so we left early to come to Trenton. We did walk and it was fine . I am happy to say I got 4 of the windows all painted 4 more to go the blinds are all washed and are drying now . Vix I am sorry to hear of your Aunt passing away, sending prayers. Jo I didn't watch any of the game I heard half time wasn't all that good.

    Jo, I watched bits and pieces of the game. A pedicure sounds wonderful. I know you enjoyed that. :)
    Irene, black ice is the worst. I'll bet you'll be happy when you're done with the painting.
    Roger, the shorter spurts of exercise are better for me at this time.
    I have a day of stained glass and clay today.
    Enjoy your day.

    More humor again

    Hi
    I'm back from walking again and no cents. The temperature this morning was 25 on the porch and 27 on the cable news channel, Cooler than yesterday. Their is Snow turning to rain in the forecast for Tomorrow.
    The footing was good this morning. If Yesterdays weather forecast is to be believed the day will start with snow and turn to rain where I am and be mainly a rain event in South Jersey.

    Well I was sore for the rest of the day yesterday and I do have a smallish bruise, Oh well it could have been worse. I got out later in the morning again as I walked to the bank which brought up my walking time to normal. It had turned bitter out due to a brisk breeze with gusts of wind that went through my clothes.


    The scale was nicely lower than yesterday morning, again, It seems that the "Time-restricted eating" combined with a 100% NS plan is working really well so far. Whee

    Hi Vix
    The black ice is what got me yesterday when walking. I was crossing a side road, luckily no traffic when I slipped on the ice and took a tumble. As slick as the road was I did not try and get up. If You can imagine seeing it, what I ended up doing was sliding on my backside to the curb to find enough traction to stand up and then I reversed back to the house. It seemed as if the sidewalks and roads were getting icier as the morning went on.

    I hope Your week goes better than the last week.

    Enjoy the Classes

    Hi Joanne
    The commercials were all over the news Monday and TBH they did nothing for me either.

    Our Monday never warmed up past the mid 30s, today is not forecast to be much warmer.

    If I said I never had a Pedicure, is it painful ?

    Have a Good Day

    I will be honest, if it had been icy when I went out the door yesterday I would have turned back into the house. Sadly it was OK when I left and then turned icy while I was walking.

    Roger- I hope you are not too achy today after your fall. Congrats on the scale going down. A pedicure does not hurt, maybe should you should try it. :p
    Irene- It must be a relief to see the end of the painting in sight.

    Hi
    I'm back from walking again and no cents. The temperature this morning was 26 on the porch and 31 on the cable news channel. The Snow in the forecast that should turn to rain has not yet started, thus the walking was OK, It would have been better without the mild breeze adding a wind chill :(

    As I look out the window right now at 7:15 I see that the snow has arrived, It appears that I made it back to the house with a small margin of time ahead of the snow. Lucky me not having to go out into the rush hour and drive in snow.

    Hi Irene
    I'm OK, I did have a bump and some soreness for the rest of the day where I fell onto my side that is now gone and the small bruise will likely take a few days or more to clear up. The slight soreness that was left the next day did not keep me home :)

    Do You plan to keep the brush ? I suspect that since it has held up for the entire house that You did buy a quality brush.

    From what I saw on the weather report this morning and yesterday You should be in a rain only area.

    Good Luck

    Hi Vix
    If I said that it did not really hurt at the time, The pain was from the knee where I had to kneel onto the grit at the side of the road while getting up. It was more like being embarrassed by ending up in the middle of the road and not being able to stand up and then having to slide myself on my backside to the side of the road where I could get some traction to stand up. I will admit to being lucky that it was early enough that I did not have to dodge cars while in the road.

    So far enough snow has fallen that I can see tracks from the cars on the road even though it is not that much snow on the road.

    Have a safe trip to Your Appointment

    I'm guessing You mean leaving early for work rather than from work ?

    I am enjoying my day, Any day I can stay inside and look out at bad weather is a good day :smiley:
