cando I love how you take such good care of your mom!! She is blessed indeed!
The weekend was kind of a blur with stuff to do. Not only a blur in the amount of activity but a blur in that my mind cannot even remember most of it. DD1 and I did not get all the work done in the garage that was planned. And now all the open floor is filled again. We recycled all the live greenery. All the artificial greenery is spread out over the floor drying before it gets packed away. All the colored lights also spread out under the table in the breakfast room drying out. I had used some kind of protective thing I found to cover the plugs that connected to each other but stuff was still wet. I want to make sure that all holiday related things are well organized before being packed away this year.
Today we'll be inside all day with a major rainstorm. Paying bills and doing food related things will be the priorities. And some easy maintenance.

Good morning!
I finally got around 8 hours of sleep last night, with some wake ups, of course. One of the times I woke up I looked outside and there was about an inch of snow on the ground. By the time I woke up for good, it had changed to 2 inches of very heavy slush everywhere. I swept (pushed) it off the porch but didn't do the front sidewalk because it looked more watery there. Then I looked at the forecast--yesterday the forecast was supposed to be snow then rain then a couple of moderate temp days before it gets freezing cold toward the weekend. But now it says more snow possible every day, and night time temps will be below freezing, which means everything outside will freeze solid.
I had books to pick up at the library by Friday, but I don't want to be walking on all the frozen slush piles, so I decided to go today. I took my cart to lean on even though I had to push it through the slush. Then when I got home the dog wanted to go out already, so we did that, and I shoveled the slush on the back yard sidewalks because I didn't want it to freeze. Then I shoveled the upper porch, cleaned the slush out of the seed pool, and put out a lot of seed for the birds.
So now I am cold and tired, but I don't have to go out for a solid week if I don't want to. Well, I should say, I don't have to go away from home for a week, obviously I have to go out with the dog and to feed the birds multiple times a day.
Once I rest and warm up I will try to get busy. Usually when I know I don't have to go anywhere for a while I get more productive, hopefully that will happen today.
Diane

cando I hope your mom continues to improve. Diane glad you had a goodnight’s sleep. So critical! yesterday I was so tired that I felt blah and was very unproductive at work It warmed up a bit last night to the upper thirties so ice was not as much of an issue. On our walk puppy broke her harness; it is only about three months old -she is so rough on them, rubbing against fences and buildings and lots of nose diving and flipping back and forth on the ground. I hooked the leash to her collar and on some ways the walk was easier but I fear she could pull out of the collar w her wild antics. So a new harness on the shopping list Humble dinner of leftovers. I was so cold that I went to bed really early to be warm but then I woke up around midnight. II ended up emptying out my pantry cupboard. I took everything out, wiped and purged and put it back together. Swept floors. All dishes done. Puppy was excited to have this activity and kept wanting to go out. She loves the snow. She is so smart! she knows her signal to go outside is to scratch at the back door. So when I went to bed, she did applied learning and stood there and scratched at my open bedroom door. Using sign language!! Finally at 2 am or so, told puppy “sleep dear canine!” Today I have had work meetings all morning The morning was busy at home, feeding the tribe and packing my lunch. I packed a breakfast for DD to eat in the car as she was getting ready as I had to be very punctual for a meeting and wanted to leave asap I am very scattered today. I need to make a list for home and work stuff I have low motivation and lots to do! Not the best combo….

Now I'm cold again! It's sort of raining lightly out there but some of it feels like freezing rain--it's hard to read the forecast because different areas are getting different kinds of precip and it all depends on where the temperature line is.
I'm going to stop for lunch and a movie break.

Tomorrow is going to be a long and stressful one at work with double overtime, so I'm likely to only manage basic maintenance at best.
