No, I didn't get out in it...haven't driven anywhere.I wondered where you were, glad you’re okay but sorry you’re out in that cold!
Careful driving home please![]()
It got here after it got really cold.I was expecting ice and light snow but didn't get much of anything other than a bunch of rain,it was still warm enough that it just dried up or freeze dried last night![]()

Dec, 19th was the surgery. Left .... cheek still has some swelling also the theigh and knee. I am waiting for the hip joint pain to ease up so I can start to move around a little better.No, I didn't get out in it...haven't driven anywhere.
It got here after it got really cold.
Thankfully, before it started sleeting, it had been so windy that it dried the patio, mostly...before it sleeted.
It had been thoroughly saturated from raining off and on all day. It's still slick and iced, but not like it might have been.
We didn't get a lot of ice, just enough that you bust your you know what if you're not careful.
Sorry you're still having pain and swelling!
Sweet dreams Dale.
Guess I'll say goodnight as well.
Sweet dreams all.![]()


Good morning PaulGood morning, Lurkers
Not so bad here this morning. 30º and dry, I think.
It's been a heck of a week and getting worse. I worked so much I didn't even get much of any chance to check in by cellphone, and by the time I got home, dinner prep, animals to care for, then we ate and watched a little TV and I fell asleep in the recliner every night until dw got me up to run me off to bed. I might end up with 6 and 7 day weeks for a couple of months, it's that crazy now.
No chance to go through and see what's been going on, but hopefully everyone is getting better from illnesses, surgeries and what not and staying warm.

Good morning, DaleGood morning lovely and handsome Lurkers
Couldn’t stay asleep in the bed, can’t stay awake in the chair
Good morning Paul
Sorry you’re having to work so much for so long, that’s no way to live
26 here at the moment, expect it will fall a few more degrees before daylight.

Good morning SaraGood morning Paul, Dale, Joey and lurkers
Paul, I'm with Dale. I'm sorry you are working as much as you are. I know it needs to be done but it still stinks.
Dale, how's your strep? Much better I hope as you've been on antibiotics for a few days now.
Joey, sorry you're still dealing with swelling. Is that normal? I too HATE winter and everything that goes along with it.
Waiting for DH to return home with some box fans and construction size garbage bagsApparently our sump pump alarm decided yesterday was the day it wasn't going to work and the sump pump failed but we got it going. We had about 5 inches of water in the basement last night. Roads/weather were really bad and we couldn't get out to the store last night. I have major anxiety about black mold and water damage. Most of our stuff is up on cinder blocks or in plastic totes but we did have a fair amount of things on the floor. I know, I know. Lesson learned. It was on our list of things to do this spring to get more blocks and plywood.

Oh no! So sorry about the sump pump and damages
I’m doing a lot better thank you![]()
But sorry you didn't sleep well.Yay for sleeping inHope the swelling goes down soon. I'm sure you really tired of dealing with all that.
Good morning Paul.
Wow, sounds like a crazy busy week!
Hope you can get some downtime in and between!!
Good morning Dale.
Ugh on the not sleeping/being able to stay awake!
Not much worse than no sleep!
Good morning Joey.
...pretty much the same forecast here as well.
I hate wintertime too!
Good morning Sara.
OH nooooooo!!What a mess!!!
So sorry you're having to deal with all that, and bad roads/weather on top of that!!!
Slept in til 8!
DH is on his way home from Tx and the boar hunting trip.
He'll be home early this evening.
Not much else going on here. Need to eat, start all the things, and get laundry going...laundry...it never ends.![]()
Most of what was tossed were extras from the build. Course the Christmas tree will have to be replaced and I had a 3 crock crockpot that was on the floor from moving Christmas totes around. Not enough rice in the house to evaporate water that got in it 

I did manage to pick out some pieces of the wood flooring that I think are salvageable and some wire shelving.
We ordered a new alarm with wifi to notify us in the event of another problem. Should be here Monday. Been to town and got that out of the wayYep, I'm up and moving/starting chores as well...and dressed.![]()
Is someone a tad cranky today?Im not doing anything except what I need to for my leg. I have to depend on people here to do things for me yet, it is getting old real fast!!!
Hi KCMorning Lurkers
![]()
since no work today woke up at normal time and decided to go back to bed. new bed made it easy to fall back to sleep, have not done that in a long time.

I’d have slept better I bet if I had shut Elly out but she was coldGood morning Lori and KCThat's wonderful news you were able to go back to sleep.
Glad to hear you are betterBut sorry you didn't sleep well.
Yay for sleeping inLaundry is the bane of my existence.
Thanks girls.Most of what was tossed were extras from the build. Course the Christmas tree will have to be replaced and I had a 3 crock crockpot that was on the floor from moving Christmas totes around. Not enough rice in the house to evaporate water that got in it

What upsets me is that after inspecting the sump pump it's not that the alarm stopped working, the alarm float was never put on. I don't even see that part anywhere in the basement.We ordered a new alarm with wifi to notify us in the event of another problem. Should be here Monday.
Hope you all are having a good day![]()
